Among 24-hour dual-probe pH testing, esophageal high-resolution manometry, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and contrast videofluoroscopy (esophagram), which modality is most able to identify the common abnormalities seen in patients with globus sensation? Bottom line: Esophageal high-resolution manometry testing identified the greatest proportion of common abnormalities seen in patients with globus sensation. BACKGROUND: Globus sensation has long been […]
Voice and Airway Presentations of Patients with Chronic Pain Syndromes Are Clinically Indistinguishable
The voice and airway presentation of patients with FMS, IBS, and/or CFS suggests that these disorders may be different clinical manifestations of a shared pathophysiology.
Voice Rest Does Not Impact Laser Resection Results for Superficial Vocal Cord Lesions
A look at whether a prescription of voice rest has a meaningful impact on vocal outcomes following CO2 laser resection of superficial
vocal cord lesions.
Patients Diagnosed with Mental Health Distress, Then Vocal Issues Are Less Likely to Have Seen an Otolaryngologist
A look at to what extent mental health distress precedes or follows voice disorder diagnoses.
Topical Mitomycin-C Offers No Additional Benefit in Surgical LTS Management
This trial suggests that MMC use as a topical adjuvant therapy has no additional benefit in the endoscopic surgical management of Laryngotracheal Stenosis (LTS).
BVFP Patients Achieve Bilateral Fold Movements with Selective Laryngeal Reinnervation
What is the extent of airway improvement and voice quality in patients with bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) who underwent selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery?
Octanoic Acid May Reduce Tremor Magnitude for Essential Voice Tremor Patients
Magnitude of amplitude tremor (MATR) and magnitude of frequency tremor (MFTR) were significantly lower after three weeks of octanoic acid dosing compared to placebo.
Vascular Stippling May Inform Diagnostic Sampling of Suspicious Laryngeal Lesions
Laryngoscopic and microscopic appearance of vascular stippling could inform clinicians on diagnostic sampling of suspicious laryngeal lesions that reduce delay in diagnosis.
Laryngoscore Reliable for Detecting Laryngeal Exposure Preoperatively in Microlaryngoscopy Patients
The Laryngoscore is reliable for detecting difficult laryngeal exposure preoperatively, but each institution should find its own best cutoff value based on the specific instruments available locally.
