Article Abstract

Hemidiaphragm paralysis, a complication of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, can severely affect respiratory function and can lead to paradoxical breathing and dyspnea on exertion. A 75-year-old woman with iatrogenic diaphragm paralysis showed improved symptoms, respiratory function, and exercise tolerance after video-assisted thoracoscopic diaphragm plication.

Purpose: NOTCH3 is increasingly implicated for its oncogenic role in many malignancies, including meningiomas. While prior work has linked NOTCH3 expression to higher-grade meningiomas and treatment resistance, the metabolic phenotype of NOTCH3 activation remains unexplored in meningioma.

Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on NOTCH3 + human meningioma cell lines.

Saturation of respiratory strain during robotic hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer.

J Robot Surg

September 2025

Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UT Health San Antonio, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, 7836, San Antonio, TX, 78229-3900, USA.

To evaluate intraoperative ventilatory mechanics during robotic-assisted hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer and introduce the concept of a physiologic "ceiling effect" in respiratory strain. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 89 women with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy between 2011 and 2015. Intraoperative ventilatory parameters, including plateau airway pressure and static lung compliance, were recorded at five-minute intervals.

Vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity: Interaction between vocal fold adduction, formant tuning, and fundamental frequency.

J Acoust Soc Am

September 2025

Department of Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, Los Angeles, 31-24 Rehab Center, 1000 Veteran Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90095-1794, USA.

The goal of this study was to understand the interaction between the voice source spectral shape, formant tuning, and fundamental frequency in determining the vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity. Computational voice simulations were performed with parametric variations in both vocal fold and vocal tract configurations. The vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity was quantified as the difference in the A-weighted sound pressure level between the radiated sound pressure and the sound pressure at the glottis.

Introduction: Distraction methods such as virtual reality and cold vibration devices (Buzzy) are recommended during vascular access. Few studies focused on distraction during intramuscular injection.

Methods: This study evaluated the effect of distraction methods on procedure-related pain, fear, and anxiety during the intramuscular injection in children aged 5 to 12 years in the pediatric emergency department.

The rate of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is ~1 per 1000 patients each year. Terminal events reportedly involve repeated and prolonged apnea, suggesting a failure to autoresuscitate. To better understand the mechanisms and identify novel therapeutics, standardized tests to screen for autoresuscitation efficacy are needed in preclinical SUDEP.
