    Abstract Nasal obstruction is a significant challenge greatly affecting individual quality of life. It is one of the most common presentations in the otolaryngology clinic, often persisting despite medical and, at times, surgical intervention. The butterfly graft has proven to be a veritable option addressing nasal valve collapse. Herein, we describe our most recent operative technique, highlight its application in ethnic rhinoplasty and revision cases, and discuss incorporation of dorsal preservation techniques in functional rhinoplasty.

    Abstract With the help of a theoretical model and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations based on the hydrodynamic-Maxwell model, we examine the effect of difference-frequency generation (DFG) in an array of L-shaped metal nanoparticles (MNPs) characterized by intrinsic plasmonic nonlinearity. The outcomes of the calculations reveal the spectral interplay between gain and loss in the vicinity of the fundamental frequency of the localized surface plasmon resonances. Subsequently, we identify different array thicknesses and pumping regimes facilitating parametric amplification and spontaneous parametric downconversion. Our results suggest that the parametric amplification regime becomes feasible on a scale of hundreds of nanometers and spontaneous parametric downconversion on the scale of tens of nanometers, opening up new exciting opportunities for developing building blocks of photonic metasurfaces.

    Abstract Background: The ligaments and soft tissue capsular structures of the knee joint that provide a resisting force to prevent abnormal knee hyperextension have not been determined. This knowledge is required for the diagnosis and treatment of knee hyperextension abnormalities.
    Purpose: To determine the resisting moment of knee ligament and capsular structures that resist knee hyperextension.
    Hypothesis: The combined posteromedial and posterolateral capsular structures function to provide a major restraint to prevent abnormal knee hyperextension. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments resist knee hyperextension but function as secondary restraints.
    Study design: Descriptive laboratory study.
    Methods: A 6 degrees of freedom robotic system determined intact laxity limits in 24 cadaveric knees from 0° to 100° of knee flexion for anteroposterior limits at ±135 N, abduction-adduction limits at ±7 N·m, and external-internal limits at ±5 N·m. One loading method (n = 14 knees) used a static loading sequence with knee hyperextension to 27-N·m torque while maintaining all other degrees of freedom at zero load during sequential soft tissue cutting. The second method (n = 10 knees) used a cyclic loading sequence to decrease viscoelastic effects with soft tissue cutting at 0° of extension, followed by knee hyperextension to 27-N·m torque and cycled back to 0°. Selective soft tissue cuttings were performed of the following: oblique popliteal ligament, fabellofibular ligament, posterolateral capsule, posteromedial capsule with posterior oblique ligament, cruciate ligaments, lateral collateral ligament, popliteus, anterolateral ligament and iliotibial band, and superficial plus deep medial collateral ligaments. The sequential loss in the restraining moment with sectioning provides the function of that structure in resisting knee hyperextension.
    Results: The median resisting force to knee hyperextension, in descending order, was the posteromedial capsule and posterior oblique ligament (21.7%), posterorolateral ligament and fabellofibular ligament (17.1%), anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (13% and 12.9%, respectively), superior and deep medial collateral ligament (9.6%), oblique popliteal ligament (7.7%), and lateral collateral ligament (5.4%). The combined posterior capsular structures provided 54.7% and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments 25.3% of the total resisting moment to prevent knee hyperextension.
    Conclusion: Diagnosis of abnormal knee hyperextension involves a combination of multiple ligament and soft tissue structures without 1 primary restraint. The posteromedial and posterolateral capsular structures provided the major resisting moment to prevent knee hyperextension. The cruciate ligaments produced a lesser resisting moment to knee hyperextension.
    Clinical relevance: This is the first study to comprehensively measure all of the knee ligaments and capsular structures providing a resisting moment to abnormal knee hyperextension. These data are required for diagnostic and treatment strategies on the pathomechanics of abnormal knee hyperextension in patients after injury or developmental cases.

    Abstract Selective deuterium installation into small molecules is becoming increasingly desirable not only for the elucidation of mechanistic pathways and studying biological processes but also because of deuterium's ability to favorably adjust the pharmacokinetic parameters of bioactive molecules. Fused bicyclic moieties, especially those containing heteroatoms, are prevalent in drug discovery and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed transfer hydrodeuteration of cyclic and heterocyclic alkenes, which enables the synthesis of chromans, quinolinones, and tetrahydronaphthalenes that are precisely deuterated at the benzylic position. We also demonstrate the ability to place one deuterium atom at the homobenzylic site of these scaffolds with high regioselectivity by swapping transfer reagents for their isotopic analogs. Furthermore, examples of chemoselective transfer hydrogenation and transfer deuteration are disclosed, allowing for the simultaneous incorporation of two vicinal hydrogen or deuterium atoms into a double bond.

    Abstract Purpose: Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder affecting articulatory planning and speech programming. When AOS is the sole manifestation of neurodegeneration, it is termed primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS). Recent work has shown that there are distinct PPAOS subtypes: phonetic, prosodic, and those that do not clearly align with either (mixed). PPAOS subtypes differ with respect to the predominating motor speech difficulties, as well as disease progression and underlying pathology. Because past studies have determined PPAOS subtype based on clinical impression, the goal of the present study was to quantitatively determine the distribution of speech error types across PPAOS subtypes in a word repetition task and to investigate how word complexity affects the type and number of speech errors across PPAOS subtypes.
    Method: Forty-five patients with PPAOS (13 phonetic, 23 prosodic, and nine mixed) and 45 healthy controls produced multiple repetitions of words that varied in phonetic complexity. Sound additions, deletions, and substitutions/distortions (phonetic errors) and within-word segmentations (prosodic errors) were calculated.
    Results: All three PPAOS groups produced significantly more errors than controls, but the total number of errors was comparable among subtypes. The phonetic group produced more phonetic-type errors compared to the prosodic group but comparable to the mixed group. The prosodic group produced more segmentations compared to the phonetic and mixed PPAOS groups. As word complexity increased, the total number of errors increased for PPAOS patients. The phonetic and prosodic groups were more likely to produce phonetic- and prosodic-type errors, respectively, as word complexity increased.
    Conclusions: This study provides novel quantitative data showing that PPAOS subtype can be supported by the type and distribution of speech errors in a word repetition task. This may facilitate earlier, more reliable differential diagnosis and aid in disease prognosis, as PPAOS subtypes have distinct disease trajectories.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the prevalence of nasolacrimal duct (NLD) obstruction in hospital populations and assess signalment, diagnostics, and clinical approaches for alpacas and llamas diagnosed with NLD atresia or obstruction.
    Animals: 29 alpacas and 2 llamas.
    Clinical presentation: Medical records were reviewed to identify camelids with NLD evaluated between 2000 and 2023. Signalment, history, physical examination data, diagnosis, and treatments were recorded. Follow-up information was gathered via phone and email questionnaire. Data were evaluated to determine prevalence and describe signalment and treatments for NLD disease.
    Results: 31 camelids met the inclusion criteria. A total of 8,027 alpacas and 1,998 llamas were seen within the study period at 1 teaching institution. The prevalence of NLD obstruction for this population of alpacas was 0.3% (26/8,027). Nineteen of 31 (61%) camelids presented at 1 year of age or younger. The most common physical exam finding was ocular discharge (68%). The most common diagnosis was NLD atresia (16/31 [51%]). Patency was established by surgical opening or lavage of the NLD. Long-term follow-up was available for 13 alpacas and 2 llamas, of which 11 (73%) had successful outcomes.
    Clinical relevance: Results indicate that NLD obstruction is a condition that most commonly affects alpacas < 1 year of age and is associated with a good prognosis for treatment success.

    Abstract Computational musculoskeletal modeling represents a valuable approach to examining biological systems in physical anthropology. Probabilistic modeling builds on computational musculoskeletal models by associating mathematical distributions of specific musculoskeletal features within known ranges of biological variability with functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine if overlap in rotator cuff muscle force predictions would occur between species during the performance of an evolutionarily relevant horizontal bimanual arm suspension task. This necessitated creating novel probabilistic models of the human and chimpanzee glenohumeral joint through augmentation of previously published deterministic models. Glenohumeral musculoskeletal features of anthropological interest were probabilistically modeled to produce distributions of predicted human and chimpanzee rotator cuff muscle force that were representative of the specific anatomical manipulations. Musculoskeletal features modeled probabilistically included rotator cuff origins and deltoid insertion, glenoid inclination, and joint stability. Predicted human rotator cuff muscle force distributions were mostly limited to alternating between infraspinatus and teres minor, with both 100% and 0% muscle force predicted for both muscles. The chimpanzee model predicted low-to-moderate muscle force across all rotator cuff muscles. Rotator cuff muscle force predictions were most sensitive to changes of muscle origins and insertions. Results indicate that functional rotator cuff overlap is unlikely between chimpanzees and humans without greater modifications of the glenohumeral musculoskeletal phenotypes. The results also highlight the low efficacy of the human upper extremity in overhead, weight-bearing tasks, and propensity for rotator cuff injury.
