BMI, Sex as Predictors of Anterolateral Thigh Free Flap Thickness for Oropharyngeal Reconstructions
This study evaluated BMI, sex, and their influence on anterolateral thigh free flap (ALTFF) thickness for oral/oropharyngeal reconstruction. Our results showed that BMI strongly correlated with flap thickness, and women had significantly thicker flaps, despite similar BMI.

Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Outcomes
ABSTRACT Objective The effectiveness of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) for residual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with prior bariatric surgery (BS) has not been previously reported. We evaluate and compare HGNS outcomes in this unique population.

Lipofuscin: The Missing Link in the Worsening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Lipofuscin, also known as the age pigment, is a permanent autofluorescent intracellular deposit that accumulates with aging or oxidative stress, thereby interfering with cellular function. This study revealed significantly larger deposits of lipofuscin in the lateral pharyngeal wall muscles of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared

Decoding Food Labels: How and Why Labels Influence Consumers' Responses
ABSTRACT Consumers make hundreds of food‐related decisions daily, often relying on labels to guide their choices. While extensive research has examined whether food labels are effective and which label types outperform others, limited work has explained how and why labels influence consumers' responses.
