In a preliminary clinical study, topical nitroglycerin ointment improved ENS6Q scores and dryness symptoms in patients with empty nose syndrome, with mostly mild adverse effects.
A nationwide Korean nested case-control study found that longer annual duration and higher cumulative oral corticosteroid dose in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps were associated with increased systemic adverse events, supporting st
In a retrospective cohort of 362 head and neck free tissue transfer patients, routine hospitalist involvement was associated with fewer transfers to a higher level of care, without significant effects on length of stay, readmission, or 90-d
A case series describes transoral fibula free flap reconstruction for mandibular osteoradionecrosis, showing promising early disease control and low complication rates compared with traditional open neck approaches.
A clinical care guideline improved emergency use of nebulized tranexamic acid for post-tonsillectomy bleeding and was associated with fewer returns to the operating room.
A quality-improvement clinical care guideline for nebulized tranexamic acid in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage achieved high protocol adherence and was associated with a marked reduction in operative intervention.
A clinical care guideline for nebulized tranexamic acid in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage was rapidly adopted in the Emergency Department and was associated with fewer returns to the operating room.
A structured emergency department guideline for nebulized tranexamic acid in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage achieved rapid protocol uptake and was associated with a marked reduction in operative hemorrhage control.
A hospital clinical care guideline enabled rapid uptake of nebulized tranexamic acid for eligible post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage and was associated with a marked reduction in operative control of bleeding.
A 6-year follow-up of guided internet-based CBT for tinnitus found sustained reductions in tinnitus distress, with smaller persistent gains in mood and sleep, despite substantial attrition and the absence of a long-term control group.
A 6-year follow-up study suggests guided internet-based CBT for tinnitus can produce durable reductions in tinnitus distress, with sustained but smaller benefits for mood, insomnia, and life satisfaction.
A quality-improvement guideline standardizing nebulized tranexamic acid for post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage achieved high protocol adherence and was associated with a marked reduction in operative hemorrhage control.
A nationwide Danish cohort study found rapid growth in infant frenotomy, wide municipal variation, and rare severe complications, raising questions about clinical appropriateness in the setting of limited evidence for benefit.
A single-center retrospective study of 399 pediatric airway surgery patients found no significant adverse events clearly linked to postoperative nebulized ciprofloxacin-dexamethasone, supporting short-term safety while leaving efficacy and
A retrospective cohort study suggests that preoperative tumor burden, extent of tongue resection, and degree of volume restoration are strongly associated with swallowing and speech outcomes after glossectomy.
In a prospective multicenter cohort, P85-Ab achieved 93.0% sensitivity and 97.3% specificity for suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma, outperforming conventional EBV serologies in outpatient practice.
P85-Ab, an anti-EBV BNLF2b antibody test, showed excellent accuracy for suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma and outperformed older EBV markers in most outpatient settings.
A small retrospective series suggests that cricopharyngeus-targeted procedures can improve upper esophageal sphincter opening and oral intake after neurological injury, but aspiration risk often persists and ongoing swallowing therapy remai
A qualitative study found that fatigue after thyroidectomy is common, disruptive, and often unexpected. Patients described major impacts on work and daily life, and many wanted surgeons to warn them about it before surgery.
Children with obesity and severe OSA usually stay overnight after tonsillectomy, but this study found most had no major complications. Oxygen nadir and AHI may help identify very low-risk patients who could be considered for same-day discha
