The Use of Caregivers' Smartphones to Assist Infants' Circadian Sleep-Wake Cycles.

Parents and caregivers lack knowledge regarding young children's sleep routines due to an absence of general guidelines about sleep development, and this knowledge gap has been associated with infants' sleep problems. Approximately 30% of infants develop sleep problems, including difficulty with falling asleep and night-waking. In this study, we sought to develop a new indicator of regularity in infants' circadian sleep-wake patterns.

Co-Expression and Localization of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE2) and the Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 (TMPRSS2) in Paranasal Ciliated Epithelium of Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) uses angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) and the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) as a primary receptor for invasion. Cell entry by the virus requires the co-expression of these molecules in the host cells.

Objective: We investigated ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression and localization in paranasal epithelium of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) patients (n = 38), non-ECRS (n = 31), and healthy controls (n = 25).

Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound-Guided Repeat Access and Repeat Closure With an ExoSeal Vascular Closure System in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided repeat access and repeat closure with an ExoSeal vascular closure system.

Methods: A total of 123 endovascular therapy (EVT) procedures were performed in 59 patients (65 limbs) with ultrasound-guided repeat access and repeat implantation of an ExoSeal vascular closure system between January 2019 and March 2021. The procedural details and postprocedural outcomes of EVT with repeat access and use of ExoSeal (RE group) were compared with those of EVT with initial use of ExoSeal (IE group) in the same patients.

Oncocytic Polyp in a Unicystic Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Palate: A Unique Presentation.

We report a palatal mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) with unusual pathological features showing salivary duct cyst-like architecture, varied epithelial linings (excretory duct, mucous goblet cell, and apocrine epithelium phenotypes), scarce luminal tumor plaques, and a large intraluminal oncocytic polyp. To our knowledge, such a unicystic variant of MEC with pedicled oncocytic proliferation in the lumen is unprecedented in the literature. In this particular case, the microscopic diagnosis of MEC is problematic because of the large number of potential mimics.

Long-Term Results of Distal Bypass for Intermittent Claudication.

Background: Distal bypass (DB) is the optimal treatment for patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). However, effectiveness of DB for patients with intermittent claudication (IC) remains uncertain. This study aimed to analyze long-term results of DB for IC patients (IC-DB) compared with those of DB for CLI patients (CLI-DB).
