Imaging of parathyroid adenomas, efficacy of functional rhinoplasty, an emerging therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, betahistine for ménière’s disease, and the state of surgical training were all tackled by a panel of experts at the Triological Society Combined Sections Meeting in a series of Best Practice talks.
Biologics represent a breakthrough for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). But with high non-response rates and other unresolved issues, researchers are exploring how best to put these therapies to work, panelists said in a session at the Triological Society Combined Sections Meeting.
A successful thesis advances medical knowledge in our specialty in a meaningful way. It is not an obstacle; it is an opportunity to clearly state who we are as academic difference-makers, an opportunity to rigorously acknowledge from where we came while exalting where we may go, an opportunity to join a society of like-minded souls and allow them to rejoice in our efforts.
While hypoglossal nerve stimulation can be effective for treating obstructive sleep apnea, factors such as weight and sleep position can decrease its effectiveness
Social media is commonly used by physicians to share knowledge, provide medical education materials, and even seek peer advice. But is enough being done to protect patient privacy, especially for younger patients?
The constant cycle of transitions to a medical career can make it difficult to enjoy the present, to acknowledge the hard work that was required get to the current position, and to remember why you embarked on the journey at the start.
While proponents of value-based care indicate that the cost savings and efficiency of the system are inherently quality based, it remains to be seen how that will play out at the patient–physician relationship level
Technological advancements aim to improve sleep positioning. In addition to pillows, belts, and other supports to encourage side sleeping, vibrotactile devices worn around the chest or neck can sense when someone is sleeping on their back and use a gentle but persistent vibration to remind people to change their position.
Virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed realities (MR) all fall under the umbrella of extended reality (XR) and are characterized by extending a user’s experience into different worlds via technology that simulates those realms. In healthcare, currently, one of the main uses of XR occurs during surgery.
