This study associates adjunctive suzetrigine use with decreased postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing head and neck free flap or transoral robotic surgery, without increasing pain scores or adverse events.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides a safe, effective treatment for thyroid nodules in the remaining lobe after unilateral thyroid lobectomy, offering substantial volume reduction with minimal complications and preserved thyroid function
In a large cohort, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) and posterior canal video head impulse testing (PC-vHIT) demonstrated frequent disagreement, indicating they assess distinct vestibular reflex pathways rather than a
This article reviews the clinical evaluation, differential diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of patients presenting with thyroid compressive symptoms, emphasizing the importance of thorough preoperative workup and individualized surgical se
PDS0101 combined with pembrolizumab demonstrated encouraging efficacy and safety in immune checkpoint inhibitor-naive HPV16-positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, supporting further first-line evaluation.
A meta-analysis reveals immune checkpoint inhibitors may reduce survival in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients with PD-L1 combined positive scores less than 1, signaling caution in this subgroup’s treatment.
LINC01521 is significantly upregulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma, promoting tumor progression by targeting miR-4319 and inhibiting cuproptosis, thereby serving as an independent prognostic marker for adverse clinical outcomes.
A retrospective Lebanese study finds a 2.65% prevalence of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage, predominantly secondary bleeding, with adult age as the key independent risk factor, underscoring tailored postoperative care.
Quantitative measurement of beta-trace protein in nasal sponge extracts accurately identifies postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks after endoscopic endonasal surgery for sellar tumors, enabling early diagnosis and targeted intervention.
A retrospective cohort study at a safety-net hospital found that routine pathological examination of tonsillectomy specimens rarely reveals unexpected malignancies, supporting targeted pathology based on clinical assessment.
This study investigates the efficacy of topical and systemic pirfenidone in reducing glottic stenosis induced by bleomycin in rats, demonstrating both routes reduce macroscopic stenosis, with systemic administration showing significant anti
This study suggests intraoperative botulinum toxin may reduce sialocele formation after parotidectomy, though larger prospective trials are needed to confirm efficacy and guide clinical use.
This study evaluates clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of female laryngeal cancer patients, highlighting better survival with surgical therapy compared to non-surgical approaches, and emphasizing the need for sex-specific trea
Older adults with severe nerve impairment in Bell’s palsy experience markedly poorer recovery, highlighting the critical role of early, aggressive intervention.
This study identifies unilateral hearing loss, older age, and insurance status as key factors associated with poor adherence to bone conduction hearing devices in children with microtia, emphasizing the critical role of routine monitoring o
Electrodiagnostic tests, notably electroneuronography and electromyography, significantly improve prognosis prediction for Bell palsy recovery, including patients with moderate paralysis (H-B grade IV). These findings support broader use to
Emerging evidence links high pesticide exposure events (HPEEs) in farmers to increased self-reported olfactory dysfunction, though objective smell testing yields inconclusive associations, highlighting critical gaps and methodological consi
