This case series examines eight patients experiencing dysphonia after vagus nerve stimulator placement, highlighting variable and transient vocal fold motion changes during device cycling.
This article discusses a novel machine learning-based tool, especially XGBoost, to predict hearing loss risk in high-risk neonates using clinical factors for targeted early intervention.
A recent randomized trial demonstrates that bilateral hearing aids provide statistically greater benefit than unilateral aids in older adults with age-related hearing loss, although both configurations yield meaningful improvements.
This analysis of RTOG 1016 validates the prognostic value of imaging-detected extranodal extension (iENE) in p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer, supporting its integration into the AJCC/UICC TNM9 staging system and its implications for patie
A case series highlighting how minor head trauma can precipitate clinically significant superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome in predisposed individuals, detailing audiovestibular findings and diagnostic considerations.
JAK inhibitors, proven in rheumatoid arthritis, show potential in extending surgical-free intervals and reducing dilation frequency in idiopathic subglottic stenosis by targeting immune-mediated fibroinflammation.
This study validates the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) as a reliable screening tool for VFSS-graded swallowing impairment in head and neck cancer patients and proposes a concise four-item version to optimize clinical utility.
This survey reveals a paradox in shared airway management where anesthesiologists value otolaryngology input but often fail to utilize it due to systemic barriers, highlighting the need for integrated communication solutions and joint train
This study demonstrates that high-resolution 3D facial geometry captured via smartphone accurately and objectively quantifies facial nerve palsy severity, enabling continuous grading, early detection, and improved patient monitoring.
Narrow-band imaging (NBI) significantly improves the endoscopic differentiation of inverted papillomas (IPs) from nasal polyps (NPs) by highlighting mucosal microvasculature patterns, achieving superior diagnostic accuracy compared to white
Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy significantly improves pathologic response rates in resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to immunotherapy alone, potentially transforming preoperative treatment strategies.
Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy significantly improves pathologic complete and major responses compared to immunotherapy alone in resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting a promising avenue to improve treatment outcomes.
Weight loss velocity, rather than absolute weight loss, predicts the onset and persistence of Patulous Eustachian Tube symptoms after bariatric surgery, highlighting the need for close monitoring during rapid BMI decline phases.
This review synthesizes evidence linking neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation with increased Breslow thickness and delayed surgical management in head and neck cutaneous melanoma, highlighting potential mechanisms and clinical implication
This study identifies that vasovagal responses causing bradycardia occur in 8.9% of adult suspension microlaryngeal surgeries, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and prompt interventions such as glycopyrrolate administration to pr
This study introduces a validated machine learning tool providing personalized probability scores to improve cochlear implant candidacy screening, surpassing traditional rules by enabling tailored patient counseling and identifying borderli
This article examines the role of preoperative imaging in primary hyperparathyroidism, emphasizing radiation exposure, diagnostic accuracy, and the importance of intentional use to optimize surgical outcomes and patient safety.
This analysis reveals that TERT promoter mutations, increasingly prevalent with age, better predict poor outcomes in papillary thyroid carcinoma than age alone, offering enhanced risk stratification for clinical management.
This study investigates how the timing of primary palate repair before 15 months influences early speech outcomes, finding that even slight delays increase the risk of passive cleft speech characteristics by age 36 months.
A phase 2 trial shows pembrolizumab combined with low-dose quad-shot radiotherapy yields encouraging response rates and survival outcomes in recurrent, unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
