Use of a biomechanical tongue model to predict the impact of tongue surgery on speech production [PDF]

open access: yesDans Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications - MAVEBA'2007, Firenze : Italie (2007), 2008
This paper presents predictions of the consequences of tongue surgery on speech production. For this purpose, a 3D finite element model of the tongue is used that represents this articulator as a deformable structure in which tongue muscles anatomy is realistically described.

Self‐Administered Taste Testing Without Water: Normative Data for the 53‐Item Waterless Empirical Taste Test (WETT)

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), more than 20 million Americans suffer from chronic taste problems. Unfortunately, quantitative testing is rarely performed, self‐reports are inaccurate, and “taste” is often confused with olfaction‐dependent flavors.

A CNN-based tool for automatic tongue contour tracking in ultrasound images [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
For speech research, ultrasound tongue imaging provides a non-invasive means for visualizing tongue position and movement during articulation. Extracting tongue contours from ultrasound images is a basic step in analyzing ultrasound data but this task often requires non-trivial manual annotation.

Identifying the optimal dose of cannabidiol by intrabuccal administration in Kramnik (C3HeB/FeJ) mice

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) has numerous therapeutic properties, and is used to treat neurological conditions, such as neuroinflammation. However, the optimal dose of CBD to penetrate the brain requires further investigation. The primary aim of this study was to use a mouse model and the intrabuccal route for CBD administration to determine the optimal dose at ...

Impact of different anesthetic protocols during anesthesia for the establishment of a porcine model of acute kidney injury

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study details the adaptations required to establish a long‐term anesthetic protocol in pigs. Three protocols were evaluated, with some causing malignant hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, or hemoynamic instability. The final protocol proved effective for developing a porcine AKI model requiring adequate arterial pressure maintenance.

Brain Metabolic Features of FUS‐ALS: A 2‐[18F]FDG‐PET Study

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed at evaluating the brain metabolic features of fused in sarcoma amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FUS‐ALS) compared with sporadic ALS (sALS), using 2‐[fluorine‐18] fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography (2‐[18F]FDG‐PET). Methods We employed the 2‐sample t‐test model of SPM12, implemented in MATLAB, to compare 12 FUS‐ALS ...

Cholinergic Degeneration and Cognitive Function in Early GBA1‐Related Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The phenotype of patients with Parkinson's disease carrying GBA1 variants (GBA‐PD) suggest similarities to symptomatology associated with early cholinergic system degeneration. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the clinical features and the cholinergic innervation pattern in patients with early GBA‐PD versus those without the GBA1 ...
