Many experts feel that in the absence of well-defined goals for success, they have an easier time identifying failure. As success ought to not be defined only by absence of failure, we aimed to define optimal outcomes for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) by obtaining expert surgeon perspectives. A total of 12 surgeons participated in this targeted consultation. Face t...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluating the timing of injection laryngoplasty for vocal fold paralysis in an attempt to avoid future type 1 thyroplastyJournal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery - Tập 42 - Trang 1-6 - 2013

To determine whether immediate (less than 3 months from time of nerve injury), early (from 3 to 6 months from time of nerve injury) or late (more than 6 months from time of nerve injury) vocal fold injection influences the long-term outcomes for patients with permanent unilateral vocal fold paralysis. A total of 250 patients with documented unilateral vocal fold paralysis were identified in this r...... hiện toàn bộ

To validate the pharyngeal findings in sleep nasopharyngoscopy (SNP) of children with snoring - sleep disordered breathing (S-SDB). Prospective agreement diagnostic study on retrospective data. We conducted an inter-and intra-rater agreement study on video documentations of SNP performed on children (non-syndromic, complex, or operated upon) who presented with S-SDB. The videos featured various ph...... hiện toàn bộ
Bilateral vocal fold immobility: a 13 year review of etiologies, management and the utility of the empey indexJournal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery - Tập 44 - Trang 1-7 - 2015
Maria K. Brake, Jennifer Anderson
Bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) is a rare diagnosis causing dyspnea, dysphonia and dysphagia. Management depends on respiratory performance, airway patency, vocal ability, and quality-of-life priorities. The authors review the presentation, management and outcome in patients diagnosed with BVFI. The utility and efficacy of the Empey index (EI) and the Expiratory Disproportion Index (EDI) ar...... hiện toàn bộ

Objective To describe the application of a new, objective diagnostic test for Meniere's disease. Introduction Electrovestibulography (EVestG) is a complex, newly-developed test paradigm that searches for neural firing patterns that may be diagnostic for particular neural disorders. EVestG syst...... hiện toàn bộ
Complete remission of an early-stage laryngeal cancer under combined pembrolizumab and chemotherapy treatment of a synchronous lung adenocarcinomaJournal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery - - 2022

Anti-PD1-Checkpoint inhibition (CI) is an established treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck cancer. A potential benefit from CI in early-stage disease that is usually treated by radiation or surgery has not been investigated so far and is currently not addressed in clinical trials. A 58-year-old man was diagnosed with a cT2 supraglottic laryngeal cancer and a synchronous metastasi...... hiện toàn bộ
Overnight oximetry in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy: a single center experienceJournal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery - Tập 48 Số 1 - Trang 1-5 - 2019
Liu, C. Carrie, Chaput, Kathleen H., Kirk, Valerie, Yunker, Warren
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common indication for adenotonsillectomy in children. Home-based sleep oximetry continues to be used in the diagnosis of pediatric OSA despite a lack of correlation with lab-based polysomnography. This study investigates whether factors influence surgeons in selecting patients for home-based sleep oximetry, how the study findings are used in patient manage...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of early local administration of high-dose bFGF on a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury modelJournal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery - Tập 52 - Trang 1-10 - 2023
Takao Goto, Rumi Ueha, Taku Sato, Tatsuya Yamasoba
Research on regenerative medicine using basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has recently advanced in the field of laryngology. We previously reported that local administration of bFGF 1 month after recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis compensated for atrophy of the thyroarytenoid muscle. The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects of early bFGF administration on the thyroaryten...... hiện toàn bộ
Patients reported outcome post-cochlear implantation: how severe is their dizziness?Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery - Tập 43 - Trang 1-4 - 2014
Faisal Zawawi, Faisal Alobaid, Tony Leroux, Anthony G Zeitouni
The reported prevalence of vestibular dysfunction after cochlear implantation (CI) is varies between different scientific papers. The aim of this study is to determine the reported post-implantation outcome in terms of dizziness, and to measure its impact on quality of life using the Dizziness handicap inventory (DHI). This was a prospective questionnaire based study of postoperative cochlear impl...... hiện toàn bộ
