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.
Commercial-Grade, Application-Based Hearing Assessment Strongly Correlates with Traditional Audiometry
Commercial-grade, app-based pure tone audiometry demonstrates an overall strong correlation and accuracy with traditional audiometry, but it is not intended to replace an evaluation performed in a controlled environment with calibrated equipment and a skillfully trained clinician.
Ophthalmic Medication Maxitrol Shown to Eradicate Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilm In Vitro
Bacterial biofilms are a feature of many chronic diseases of the head/neck. Few of the topical antibiofilm agents that can be used to eradicate biofilms in vitro are suitable for otolaryngological application. Maxitrol may demonstrate antibiofilm activity and may therefore be useful in the management of biofilm-related disease in the head/neck.
Survey Underscores Lack of Support for Left-Handed Surgical Trainees
Surgical instruments and equipment are often designed for right-handed (RH) users, creating potential ergonomic challenges for LH surgeons, and ORLHN falls behind other fields in providing targeted support.
Eustachian Tube Resection in Expanded Endonasal Transpterygoid Approach Can Cause Dysfunction
Eustachian tube (ET) resection during EETA can lead to ET dysfunction and require myringotomy postoperatively.
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.
Adenotonsillectomy: Watching/Waiting Comparable to Watchful Waiting for Children with Mild Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Early adenotonsillectomy compared with watchful waiting and supportive care in children with mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) did not significantly improve executive function or attention at 12 months.
Concurrent Septorhinoplasty and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Comparable to Sole Surgeries in Patient Satisfaction
Disease-specific quality of life (QoL) is improved with septorhinoplasty (SRPL), functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and combined surgery, and combining the procedures does not compromise QoL gain.
Identifying and Managing Sensing Lead Malfunction in Upper Airway Stimulation Devices
Identifying and managing sensing lead malfunction in upper airway stimulation devices using the Inspire Medical Systems’ upper airway stimulation (UAS) device to treat patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), to necessitate revision surgery.
Definitive Resection for Occult Invasive Disease Recommended for Oral Cavity Carcinoma in Situ
Rates and clinical outcomes support the practice of definitive resection for occult invasive disease if feasible following a biopsy that demonstrates oral cavity cis.
