J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus

Doncaster and Bassetlaw NHS Foundation Trust, Doncaster, UK.

Published: May 2008

The authors describe an unusual presentation of abnormal head posture in a 5-year-old boy. Sandifer syndrome is associated with torticollis and gastroesopheageal reflux. Treating physicians should be aware of non-ocular causes of abnormal head posture in the absence of ocular manifestations.

CFAP65 is essential for C2a projection integrity in axonemes: implications for organ-specific ciliary dysfunction and infertility.

Cell Mol Life Sci

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Department of Histology and Embryology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, 211166, China.

Defects in motile cilia and flagella lead to motile ciliopathies, including primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), which manifests as multi-organ dysfunction such as hydrocephalus, infertility, and respiratory issues. CFAP65 variants are a common cause of male infertility, but its localization and function have remained unclear. In this study, we systematically evaluated CFAP65's role using Cfap65 knockout mice and human patients with CFAP65 variants.

Radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is considered one of the workhorses in modern head and neck reconstruction surgery due to its technical simplicity, versatility and less time-consuming harvest. In this report, we present the case of a 56-year-old woman with sublingual squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who underwent surgical resection and reconstruction of the defect with a RFFF. The preoperative Allen test showed normal blood flow, and the ultrasound did not recognize any blood vessel abnormalities in the left arm.

Normative Values of Brainstem Auditory-Evoked Responses in Sheep.

Brain Sci

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, University of Zurich, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland.

The brainstem auditory-evoked response (BAER) is an established electrophysiological measure of neural activity from the auditory nerve up to the brain stem. The BAER is used to diagnose abnormalities in auditory pathways and in neurophysiological human and animal research. However, normative data for BAERs in sheep, which represent an adequate large animal model for translational and basic otological research, are lacking.

Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women, posing a significant threat to their health. Early screening can detect cervical precancerous lesions in a timely manner, thereby enabling the prevention or treatment of the disease. The use of pathological image analysis technology to automatically interpret cells in pathological slices is a hot topic in digital medicine research, as it can reduce the substantial effort required from pathologists to identify cells and can improve diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.
