A retrospective study demonstrates that a modified individualized tongue reconstruction technique using profunda artery perforator flaps significantly improves speech, swallowing, and aesthetics compared to conventional flap designs.
This study analyzes the impact of elective neck dissection (END) on overall survival in patients with cT1-4 N0M0 submandibular gland cancer, revealing that despite a notable rate of occult nodal metastasis, END does not improve survival out
This study identifies distinct microbial dysbiosis in laryngeal cancer, highlighting Parvimonas and Campylobacter as potential therapeutic targets based on microbiome profiling of treatment-naive patients compared to controls.
This study uses causal machine learning to reveal that tooth extraction before radiotherapy neither universally reduces nor increases osteoradionecrosis risk, but individualized effects vary substantially, underscoring the need for patient-
This study identifies pediatric age, supratubal recess involvement, mastoid extension, and surgical technique as independent predictors of cholesteatoma recidivism, highlighting the need for tailored postoperative surveillance strategies.
This study reveals that preoperative ultrasound frequently overestimates papillary thyroid carcinoma tumor size and has limited accuracy for detecting multifocality and extrathyroidal extension, suggesting caution in surgical decision-makin
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that topical tranexamic acid effectively achieves initial hemostasis in acute spontaneous epistaxis, though it does not significantly reduce early rebleeding rates within 24 hours.
Dynamic Voice CT offers enhanced visualization of glottic anatomy in adults with complex dysphonia, complementing videostroboscopy and improving surgical decision-making, particularly for posterior glottic insufficiency and post-thyroplasty
This study evaluates the feasibility and safety of a real-time ultrasound-assisted laryngeal electromyography technique using a single in-plane trajectory view, showing 100% muscle sampling success and minimal adverse events in elderly pati
Report of adult-onset retinitis pigmentosa linked to bi-allelic loss-of-function PRKCZ variants, highlighting clinical features, genetic diagnosis, and validation of pathogenic mechanisms.
This article reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies for cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST), emphasizing early diagnosis, imaging findings, and the critical role of sinus surgery and anticoagulation
This RCT demonstrates that chitosan sponges, especially when enriched with injectable platelet-rich fibrin, significantly improve palatal wound healing and patient comfort following free gingival graft harvesting compared to gelatine sponge
Vestibular migraine patients show impaired auditory temporal resolution despite normal hearing, highlighting central auditory processing involvement and suggesting potential for targeted auditory rehabilitation.
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.
