This study highlights how social vulnerability correlates with higher asthma comorbidity and increased surgical intervention rates in children with obstructive sleep apnea, revealing disparities in disease severity and care pathways.
This study reveals that psychosocial stress induces vocal fold epithelial barrier dysfunction irrespective of microbiota presence, while microbiota presence uniquely promotes stress-induced epithelial proliferation in vocal folds, suggestin
Surgical trauma from oral cancer reconstruction disrupts oral microbiota; staged oral irrigation, especially using bipolar water, supports microbial stabilization, lowers fungal presence, and improves patient comfort, aiding postoperative r
A 10-year retrospective study of pediatric parotidectomy reveals primary parotid tumors, predominantly malignant acinic cell carcinoma, as the leading indication, with a low rate of permanent complications but a notable risk of temporary fa
This study evaluates how users of hearing aids and cochlear implants perceive musical sound quality when low-frequency components are degraded, revealing significant differences in sensitivity relevant to patient counseling and device optim
This study identifies preoperative apnea-hypopnea index as a key predictor of tonsillectomy success in children with obstructive sleep apnea, highlighting that surgery alone may be insufficient for severe cases.
A novel deep learning network trained on synchrotron imaging data automates accurate inner ear segmentation in clinical CT, surpassing expert performance and establishing a new standard for preoperative planning.
