Merrem's Hump-Nosed Viper () Bite on the Tongue of an Infant Leading to Upper Airway Obstruction: An Unusual Presentation.

Snakebites in unusual anatomical locations may lead to life-threatening consequences. Merrem's hump-nosed viper () is a medically important snake in Sri Lanka and India that causes many bites and envenomings. Their bites occur almost exclusively on upper and lower limbs and commonly result in local effects, with some patients developing systemic envenoming.

Graph Node Classification to Predict Autism Risk in Genes.

This study explores the genetic risk associations with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using graph neural networks (GNNs), leveraging the Sfari dataset and protein interaction network (PIN) data. We built a gene network with genes as nodes, chromosome band location as node features, and gene interactions as edges. Graph models were employed to classify the autism risk associated with newly introduced genes (test set).

Quality of life of patients treated with robotic surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region: a scoping review of empirical evidence.

Background: There is a blooming trend in the application of robotic surgery in oral and maxillofacial care, and different studies had evaluated the quality of life (QoL) outcomes among patients who underwent robotic surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region. However, empirical evidence on the QoL outcomes from these procedures is yet to be mapped. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the available scientific evidence and gaps concerning the QoL outcomes of patients treated with robotic surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region.

Active Range of Motion Measurement System Using an Optical Sensor to Evaluate Hand Functions.

Impairment of hand function greatly affects the independence of a human being. Proper assessment of hand function before and after any treatment for functional restoration is important to decide better treatment strategies. Despite traditional techniques of hand function evaluation, individual joint based assessment is vital to better track the details of the hand function.
