Built in the 19th century, the East River Bridge employed a suspension design and materials on a never-before-seen scale. Its masonry towers required the use of pressured caissons for excavation. When workers began collapsing after exiting the caisson at day’s end, a laryngologist was called in to save the project.
Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block Safe, Effective for Treatment of Neurogenic Cough
Superior laryngeal nerve block is a safe and effective treatment of neurogenic cough, according to a recent study by the department of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, S.C.
Pre-Existing Anxiety/Depression May Aggravate Dysphagia in Patients with Normal Swallowing Function
Although anxiety/depression may aggravate dysphagia in patients with normal swallowing function, this correlation may not hold in those with objective swallowing dysfunction.
> 80% Drop in Post-Excision Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Predicts High Rate of Cure in Both Classical and Normohormonal Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Patients with normohormonal primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy can expect cure rates like those of patients with classical primary hyperparathyroidism, with an 80% drop or more in intraoperative parathyroid hormone levels predicting a high likelihood of cure.

Voice Dissatisfaction Common Among the General Population
Dissatisfaction with one’s speaking voice is common, and a considerable percentage of the general population without voice disorders would consider interventions to change it.
Motion Capture Technology Can Evaluate Extrinsic Laryngeal Muscle Movement Patterns
Results show the feasibility and reliability of motion capture technology in studying extrinsic laryngeal muscle kinematics.
Minimally Invasive Thyroidectomy Not Inferior to Conventional Surgery
Minimally invasive thyroidectomy achieves high cosmetic satisfaction and is not inferior to conventional thyroidectomy in terms of surgical results or perioperative complications.
Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block Improves Neurogenic Cough for Most
Superior laryngeal nerve block improves for patients with neurogenic cough reported symptomatic improvement, and repeat injections may benefit patients with initial nonresponse.
Laser Laryngeal Surgery Is Safe Under THRIVE
By eliminating the fuel component of the fire triangle, THRIVE can be used safely for continuous delivery of high functional inspired oxygen (FiO2) concentration during LLS, provided there is adherence to institutional THRIVE-laser laryngeal surgery protocols.
