Precision phenotyping using audiometric pure-tone averages enhances genetic variant detection for sensorineural hearing loss compared to diagnostic coding, offering improved heritability estimates and risk prediction to advance hearing heal
This study identifies a link between exposure to wildfire-specific PM2.5 air pollution and increased risks of head and neck cancers over a 10-year period, with notable effects on oral cavity, oropharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers.
This study explores the association between inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) and symptoms in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), highlighting chronic cough, dysphagia, and
Combining FIESTA-C and MENSA MRI sequences improves visualization of the facial nerve and tumor localization in parotid gland surgery, potentially reducing facial nerve palsy risk.
This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility and high diagnostic accuracy of the Histolog Scanner, an ultra-fast ex vivo confocal microscopy system, for intraoperative margin assessment in transoral laser microsurgery of glottic squamous c
This study demonstrates promising accuracy of a patient-personalized AI system in detecting tracheostomy tube status and infant distress via video monitoring, highlighting potential for enhanced, continuous surveillance in high-risk infants
A novel video flexible laryngeal mask airway (VFLMA) enables simultaneous ventilation and direct visual monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid surgery, showing promising safety and diagnostic accuracy in a 104-pati
Silk-hyaluronic acid injection laryngoplasty offers a safe, effective office-based treatment for glottic insufficiency, showing comparable voice improvement to hyaluronic acid alone but with higher rates of operative revisions.
This study identifies immune biomarkers, including proliferative CD8+ T cells, CD68+ macrophages, and PD-1 expression, which differentiate high-risk oral tongue epithelial dysplasia and may improve patient risk stratification beyond convent
This study assesses whether presbylarynx and laryngeal asymmetry observed on videostroboscopy predict voice complaints in adults over 65, finding no association despite common anatomical changes with aging.
This study highlights that hemorrhagic vocal fold polyps show superior response to office-based blue laser therapy combined with intralesional steroid injection compared to nonhemorrhagic polyps, with higher rates of complete regression and
This study evaluates High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) versus High-Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) during endolaryngeal surgery, highlighting HFJV’s superiority in sustaining oxygenation and avoiding hypercapnia over longer durations.
This study evaluates the safety and clinical course of pregnant patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS), highlighting the need for operative intervention in over half and identifying antinuclear antibody positivity as a potentia
Postoperative pneumothorax after thyroid or parathyroid surgery is uncommon but linked with significantly increased mortality and complications, underscoring the need for vigilance and prompt management.
This mixed methods study details a six-year transition from total tonsillectomy to intracapsular tonsillectomy, highlighting improved postoperative outcomes and surgeon motivators behind adopting this safer surgical technique.
Functional rhinoplasty improves nasal obstruction symptoms and these disease-specific improvements correlate with reductions in anxiety, depression, and pain/discomfort, influencing long-term global quality of life.
This study compares the mechanical properties of slide tracheoplasty and end-to-end anastomosis in porcine tracheas, revealing lower tensile strength but greater force dispersion in slide tracheoplasty, with implications for airway reconstr
This study introduces a four-tier descriptive framework for petroclival and temporal bone meningiomas that shows significant correlation with surgical outcomes, offering a valuable tool to guide surgical planning and patient counseling.
This study demonstrates that elevated BMI and obesity classification do not increase the risk of complications or prolong recovery times following open airway reconstruction surgeries, guiding surgical decision-making in overweight and obes
This retrospective study assesses the safety and impact of tranexamic acid on bleeding, transfusions, and complications in head and neck free flap surgery, finding no significant difference in outcomes and supporting its safe use.
