Background: Robin sequence is an anomaly of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) performed in early infancy relieves airway obstruction and improves feeding difficulties. Though clinical outcomes data for MDO are strong, studies examining the cost drivers of the procedure are scarce.

Novel neural networks classify events with diphotons that are merged and determine the diphoton masses. The search uses LHC proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13 TeV collected with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1}.

Neurotization represents a promising adjunct in the technique of autologous breast reconstruction following mastectomy (1). However, there is a paucity of literature on the actual technique of neurotization and the practicality of selecting donor and recipient nerves when considering pedicle length, perforator position and flap inset plan. We describe the neurotization technique in detail which permits a number of flap inset patterns, with no additional donor site morbidity, and minimal extra surgical time.

Methods: Based on the Sleep-Related Breathing Disorder scale, extracted from the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (SDBS-PSQ), children (5-15 years) with persistent asthma were classified as; with SDB (SDBS-PSQ≥0.33) and without SDB (SDBS-PSQ<0.
