Subcutaneous emphysema (SE) is a notably rare complication of surgical procedures, particularly in the context of rhinoplasty. In this report, we present a novel case of recurrent nasal SE following routine open septorhinoplasty in a 59-year-old male. This patient developed persistent subcutaneous air over the nasal dorsum, linked to a fistula tract to the nasal vault, despite initial conservative management with needle aspiration.

A catalogue of neuronal cell types has often been called a 'parts list' of the brain, and regarded as a prerequisite for understanding brain function. In the optic lobe of Drosophila, rules of connectivity between cell types have already proven to be essential for understanding fly vision. Here we analyse the fly connectome to complete the list of cell types intrinsic to the optic lobe, as well as the rules governing their connectivity.

Many animals use visual information to navigate, but how such information is encoded and integrated by the navigation system remains incompletely understood. In Drosophila melanogaster, EPG neurons in the central complex compute the heading direction by integrating visual input from ER neurons, which are part of the anterior visual pathway (AVP). Here we densely reconstruct all neurons in the AVP using electron-microscopy data.

Bariatric surgery is an approach used to treat patients with obesity in a small minority of eligible patients. Non-pharmacological therapies are important to maintain decent health status post-bariatric surgery. We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of exercise on heart rate variability (HRV) in patients submitted to bariatric surgery.

Research assessing the effects of mouthpieces on an individual's aerobic, anaerobic, or muscular performance have attributed cited improvements to the participant's ability to jaw clench. Jaw clenching research finds positive outcomes with the task of jaw clenching with targeted muscle groups in a controlled laboratory setting. Thus, the study's goal was to determine if the addition of a mouthpiece would positively affect performance outcomes in a field-based whole-body muscle movement.
