OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we examined the effects of high-dose betahistine on dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) scores in patients with unilateral vestibulopathy. METHODS: An uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter clinical trial was conducted. Fifteen patients with unilateral vestibulopathy, such as vestibular neuritis, who complained of intractable dizziness for more than three months were enrolled. Initially, all patients were orally administered betahistine at a dose of 36 mg/day for four weeks, which is the standard dose and dosing period for the treatment of dizziness in Japan...

OBJECTIVE: Although congenital middle ear anomalies include various types of ossicular anomalies, all of these can be treated by ossiculoplasty or stapes surgery. Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) is a minimally invasive surgical method for middle ear disease with an excellent surgical view that has been widely adopted worldwide. To determine the efficacy of TEES for middle ear anomalies, we describe the surgical results and compare the hearing outcomes between patients treated by TEES and microscopic ear surgery (MES)...

Hypoparathyroidism, deafness, and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. Because HDR syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency in GATA3, it exhibits variation in the onset and progression of hearing loss. In previous reports, the automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) was considered insufficient to detect sensorineural hearing loss caused by HDR syndrome. We report a case of HDR syndrome whose congenital hearing loss was detected by newborn hearing screening (NHS) using AABR...

Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) is a vestibular disorder in which the presence of a pathological third window in the labyrinth causes several vestibular and cochlear symptoms. Herein, we review the diagnostic criteria and treatment of SCDS. The cause of SCDS is considered to be congenital or acquired; however, its etiology is not well known. Symptoms: Vertigo and/or oscillopsia induced by loud sounds (Tullio phenomenon) or stimuli that change the middle ear or intracranial pressure (fistula symptoms) with vestibular symptoms and hyperacusis and aural fullness with cochlear symptoms are characteristic clinical complaints of this syndrome...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has a poor prognosis. Each year, approximately 880,000 patients are newly diagnosed with HNSCC worldwide, and 450,000 patients with HNSCC die. Risk factors for developing HNSCC have been identified, with cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and viral infections being the major factors. Owing to the prevalence of human papillomavirus infection, the number of HNSCC cases is increasing considerably. Surgery and chemoradiotherapy are the primary treatments for HNSCC...

OBJECTIVE: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is selected as the primary treatment for eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). Biologics or reoperation are sometimes required as secondary treatment after ESS. The present study examined the long-term postoperative courses of ECRS cases treated according to the current treatment concept, the frequency of secondary treatment, and its predictive factors. METHODS: Ninety-four patients with ECRS who underwent ESS and received continuous management for 1-5 years were retrospectively investigated...

OBJECTIVE: The odor recognition thresholds in T&T olfactometry are measured by either the examiner's judgment of the patients' odor expression for each standard odor or by the patient's choice of the correct response from an olfactory term table. This study aimed to clarify the correct odor expressions and use of the olfactory term table. METHODS: A questionnaire was administered to otolaryngologists or medical staff in charge of testing at facilities where T&T olfactometry is performed...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a persistent inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Traditional classification is denoted by the presence (CRSwNP) or absence of nasal polyps (CRSsNP). Particularly, CRSwNP is distinguished by the presence of infiltrating cells and inflammatory markers in the nasal mucosa. Patients with CRSwNP in Western countries predominantly display a type 2 endotype, whereas those in Asian regions display a mixed type 2 endotype. Nevertheless, recent transcriptome analyses have revealed two types of nasal polyps - type 2 and non-type 2 polyps, suggesting that geographical differences in endotypes likely resulted from the different proportions of each endotype...

Mitochondrial DNA mutations such as A3243G or A1555G are widely reported to cause hearing loss, but few reports exist on the A8296G mutation, which can also cause hearing loss. This report presents the case of a patient with the A8296G mutation and severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that progressed over two decades. The patient had no history of diabetes, but did have a family history of SNHL in her father and maternal grandmother. She was first diagnosed with SNHL at 45 years of age, and an A8296G mutation was found...

OBJECTIVE: Surgical airway management is one of the most effective techniques for safe airway management. Within the training programs relating to knowledge and skills required by otorhinolaryngologists, tracheostomy and postoperative management are important items that must be fully understood by airway surgeons. We performed a nationwide survey to identify problems within tracheostomy and postoperative management in Japan in order to establish practical and safe guidelines for surgical airway management...

The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway is designed to facilitate recovery after surgery by packaging evidence-based protocols specific to each aspect of the perioperative period, including the preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge periods. The ERAS pathway, which was originally developed for use with colonic resection, is now being expanded to include a variety of surgical procedures, and the ERAS Society has published a consensus review of the ERAS pathway for head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction (HNS-FTTR)...

OBJECTIVE: A phosphorylcholine (PC)-derivative with high binding ability (PCDB) was intranasally administered to mice with ovalbumin (OVA), and immune responses were investigated to determine whether PCDB has antigenicity and adjuvanticity. METHODS: BALB/c mice were intranasally immunized with PCDB coupled with OVA, unbound PCDB plus OVA, cholera toxin (CT) plus OVA, OVA alone, and PCDB alone. Then, the production of OVA- and PC-specific antibodies in external secretions and serum, and the secretion of cytokines such as IL-4 and IFN-γ from splenic mononuclear cells by stimulation with PCDB and OVA were examined...

In the 19th century, Politzer devised a method to measure passage of the Eustachian tube (ET) by pressurizing the nasopharyngeal cavity, which marked the beginning of the ET function test. Since then, various examination methods have been developed. While ET function testing is important, recent advancements in diagnostic imaging and treatments have renewed interest on its importance. In Japan, the main objective methods used for examining ET function include tubotympanoaero-dynamic graphy (TTAG), sonotubometry, and the inflation-deflation test...

Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) using lasers to target treatment areas is effective for unresectable locally advanced or unresectable locoregionally recurrent head and neck cancer; however, there are only two devices to target the treatment area. One illuminates tumour tissue through a needle, and the other illuminates tumour tissue superficially. Treating lesions surrounded by bone, such as in maxillary sinus cancer, is difficult. We report the first case of PIT for unresectable recurrent maxillary sinus cancer employing surgical navigation and computed tomography guidance in a 56-year-old man...
