The field of cyber risks is rapidly expanding, yet significant research remains to be conducted. Numerous taxonomy-based systems have been proposed in both the academic literature and industrial practice to classify cyber risk threats. However, the fragmentation of various approaches has resulted in a plethora of taxonomies, often incongruent with one another.

The objective of the current study was to characterize the experience and unmet needs of patients with HNC with regard to information and support provision.
Methods: A 28-question, cross-sectional survey was completed by patients treated for HNC at 1 of 4 institutions in New South Wales, Australia (Chris O'Brien Lifehouse and Liverpool, Westmead, and Wollongong hospitals).
Purpose: To evaluate the upper airway dimensions of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and control subjects using a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit commonly applied in clinical practice in order to assess airway dimensions in the same fashion as that routinely employed in a clinical setting.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis utilizing existing CBCT scans to evaluate the dimensions of the upper airway in OSA and control subjects. The CBCT data of sixteen OSA and sixteen control subjects were compared.
Background: Pseudogout of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disorder with <40 reported cases in the English-language literature. It is usually treated with surgical resection and condylectomy alone.
Methods: We report the case of a 68-year-old woman presenting with a preauricular mass resulting from calcium pyrophosphate deposition (pseudogout) in the TMJ, who underwent surgical resection with immediate reconstruction.
