HendershotAbstractBackgroundPersons with unilateral lower-limb loss are at increased risk for developing chronic low back pain. Aberrant trunk and pelvis motor behavior secondary to lower-limb loss potentially alters trunk postural control and increases demands on the trunk musculature for stability. However, it is unclear whether...

Acute Wallenberg's syndrome can be misdiagnosed as a non-stroke disease, such as auditory vertigo. Thus, careful neurological examination, which is sometimes difficult for non-neurologists, is necessary for precise diagnosis. Here, we present a simple, rapid, noninvasive, and cost-effective method for detection of acute Wallenberg's syndrome using portable thermography.
Presented here is a protocol to induce diffuse traumatic brain injury using a lateral fluid percussion device followed by the collection of the caecum content for gut microbiome analysis.
We describe a detailed protocol for evaluating the toxicological profiles of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in particular, the type of cell death in human MRC5 lung fibroblasts and ROS formation in the fruit fly Drosophila.
Here, we present a protocol to detect 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in cells and brain tissues, utilizing immunofluorescence staining and DNA dot-blot methods.
This article demonstrates a model to study cardiac remodeling after myocardial cryoinjury in mice.
This paper introduces a method for assessing the coherence of parents' short narratives regarding their child and their relationship using the five-minute speech sample procedure.
We present a microfluidic cancer-on-chip model, the "Evolution Accelerator" technology, which provides a controllable platform for long-term real-time quantitative studies of cancer dynamics within well-defined environmental conditions at the single-cell level. This technology is expected to work as an in vitro model for fundamental research or pre-clinical drug development.

Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) has been reported to be a sensitive tool for discriminating between the normal and dysphonic voices, however, there is a dearth of research focused on investigating the diagnostic accuracy of AVQI in discriminating across the perceptual categories of dysphonia severity ie, slight, moderate, and severe. Hence, the present study is a preliminary attempt to document the AVQI across the degrees of dysphonia severity and to verify whether the AVQI can discriminate across...

Despite the absence of randomized data, surgical resection of oligometastases from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is an accepted standard of care option for many patients. The majority of the resections are for liver and lung metastases, and data indicates long term overall survival rates of 20–30%, suggesting that a proportion of these patients may be “cured” of their metastatic disease [1,2]. For those who are medically inoperable or decline surgery, extracranial stereotactic body radiotherapy...

Abstract Purpose Lingual nerve (LN) palsy is a serious complication in dentistry and repaired by direct suture or a free graft technique. To our knowledge, there has been no study using a (long) buccal nerve (BN) graft as a donor for LN repair. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the location of the BN and investigate if it is feasible to reroute the BN to the LN. Methods ...
Abstract Purpose Periosteal releasing incision (PRI) techniques are often used with guided bone regeneration procedures. As complications such as intra- and postoperative bleeding have been noticed, we aimed to study and clarify these as related to the PRI, especially on the mandibular buccal periosteum. Methods Fourteen sides from seven fresh-frozen Caucasian...
Abstract Purpose Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) usually presents with low-lying conus medullaris and thickened filum terminale. Spinal cord anomalies usually accompany congenital malformations and variations of the vertebral column. Transitional vertebrae (TV) are common variant, especially in the lumbosacral region. Accurate definition of the spine level is essential for proper radiological diagnosis and treatment. In this study, congenital...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of the current study is twofold. First, to investigate the variability of the petrotympanic fissure’s (PTF) morphology in anatomized human cadaveric specimens using multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT), and second, to compare the resulting measurements to investigate the possibilities of applying MDCT in the determination of PTF morphology in living humans. ...
