This study demonstrates that higher neighborhood deprivation correlates with increased voice handicap and reflux symptom burden, highlighting socioeconomic barriers in laryngologic care access and patient outcomes.
This article examines whether taking a dedicated research year increases meaningful scholarly output among 2025 otolaryngology residency applicants, highlighting that increases are mainly in unpublished and middle-author work rather than pu
The POuCH study clarifies outcomes of surgery for cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPMD) with Zenker diverticulum, distinguishing persistent from recurrent dysphagia via patient-reported EAT-10 scores, aiding clinical management of posto
This multicenter study assesses recurrence patterns in medullary thyroid cancer, finding ipsilateral neck sites are the most common recurrence locations, with limited evidence supporting routine contralateral prophylactic central neck disse
Tissue-informed circulating tumor DNA assays demonstrate high detection rates and exceptional sensitivity and specificity in monitoring HPV-positive and HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, supporting their clinical utility i
This study investigates the association between peri- and post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of voice disorders, revealing transiently increased dysphonia risk within the first nine months but no sustained clinic
A two-stage tracheal reconstruction approach in well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma with tracheal invasion shows high decannulation rates, functional recovery, and promising 3-year survival, supporting its use for extensive tracheal defec
A retrospective study found that postoperative prednisone tapering does not reduce delayed facial nerve palsy incidence following acoustic neuroma resection and carries a 10% risk of steroid-related side effects.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates how patient-specific 3D-printed temporal bone models influence surgeon cognitive load during cochlear implantation, revealing experience-dependent benefits for attendings and challenges for trainee
A surgeon-led outpatient palliative care clinic for head and neck cancer patients demonstrated significant symptom improvement, prolonged survival, and high rates of home or hospice deaths, underscoring its value in multidisciplinary cancer
This study assesses the perceptual realism of synthetic laryngeal images created using StyleGAN3, revealing high ambiguity between real and synthetic frames and highlighting efficient training durations for realistic image generation.
This study develops a surgical map delineating high-risk anatomical sites linked to poor local control in salvage endoscopic nasopharyngectomy, improving patient selection and oncologic outcomes in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Neighborhood deprivation measured by ADI correlates with poorer pre-implant speech recognition and quality of life but does not impact post-implantation benefits, highlighting socioeconomic disparities in cochlear implant access rather than
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.
