PURPOSE: Meniere's disease (MD), a disorder of the inner ear, presents numerous therapeutic challenges, and intratympanic (IT) gentamicin has been proposed for intractable cases. However, controversy regarding dosage and method persists. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of low-dose IT gentamicin on vertigo attacks in MD using a clinical symptomatology-based method, wherein administration was repeated only if vertigo attacks recurred, with a 2-week interval between injections...

INTRODUCTION: In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, initiating stay-at-home orders which delayed cancer care and screening. The impact on head and neck cancer care in populations at risk has yet to be elucidated. The objective of this investigation is to evaluate how the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cancer patients at a county hospital were affected by the pandemic. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that were diagnosed at a county hospital 365 days before and after stay-at-home orders were initiated...

INTRODUCTION: Iatrogenic injury to the larynx, particularly the vocal cords from prolonged intubation, has been well-studied; however, tracheal injuries are rarely reported. This study investigates the effectiveness of cuffed, high-volume, low-pressure endotracheal tubes in preventing the development of tracheal ulcers in intubated subjects. METHODS: A retrospective, IRB-approved review was performed on 1355 subjects who underwent percutaneous tracheostomy from 2002 to 2018...

PURPOSE: The neck management in early-stage cN0 supraglottic cancer represents an argument of debate. The aim of our study is to evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes in patients with early-stage cN0 supraglottic carcinoma treated with a wait-and-see policy for the neck. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective monocentric cohort study in a referral cancer care center. We collected a consecutive sample of patients from 2000 to 2020 with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the supraglottis without clinical evidence of nodal metastases (cN0), surgically treated with Transoral Surgery (Laser or Robotic) without neck dissection...

BACKGROUND: Children with aerodigestive dysfunction often undergo triple endoscopy (flexible bronchoscopy, rigid direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy) for diagnostic evaluation as well as screening prior to airway reconstruction. Prevalence and risk factors for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in this population are poorly understood. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed for pediatric patients, aged 0-21 years, who received a triple endoscopy with biopsy from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM)...

PURPOSE: Rhinoplasty is amongst the most challenging surgeries to perfect and can take decades. This process begins during residency; however, residents often have limited exposure to rhinoplasty during their training and lack a standardized method for systematically analyzing and formulating a surgical plan. The DESS (Deformity, Etiology, Solution, Sequence) is a novel educational format for residents that serves to increase their pre-operative comfort with the surgical evaluation and intraoperative planning for a rhinoplasty...

OBJECTIVE: The presence of occult nodal metastases in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral tongue has implications for treatment. Upwards of 30% of patients will have occult nodal metastases, yet a significant number of patients undergo unnecessary neck dissection to confirm nodal status. This study sought to predict the presence of nodal metastases in patients with SCC of the oral tongue using a convolutional neural network (CNN) that analyzed visual histopathology from the primary tumor alone...

BACKGROUND: Postmeningitic hearing loss from Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) is increasingly due to encapsulated serotypes other than type b (Hib) and nontypeable strains (collectively, nHiB H. influenzae). Pediatric hearing loss after nHib H. influenzae meningitis remains poorly described. METHODS: Retrospecive case series of nHiB H. influenzae meningitis cases identified from a microbiologic database at Children's Hospital Colorado from 2000 to 2020. Literature regarding nHiB H...

The pathophysiology and the proper treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) are an ongoing subject of debate. Locally or systemic administered corticosteroids are the most accepted drugs of treatment in reference to ISSNHL (idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss), however, no strong evidence nor guidelines regarding their effectiveness yet exists. In our prospective, randomized, controlled trial 78 participants were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned based on the day of admission to two groups according to treatment: group SS (n = 43) received intravenous systemic methylprednisolone alone, and group CT (n = 35) received intratympanic dexamethasone + systemic methylprednisolone...

BACKGROUND: The link between post-operative narcotic prescription and opioid misuse has spurred a nationwide effort to reduce perioperative opioid use. Previous work has suggested that perioperative gabapentin may reduce post-operative pain and opioid consumption across different procedures, although the optimal regimen remains to be defined. METHODS: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) with or without septoplasty were randomized to receive a 7-day pre- and post-operative course of placebo or gabapentin, starting at 300 mg daily and titrated to 300 mg three times daily, in a double-blind fashion...

OBJECTIVES: Topic treatment can be useful to improve short and long-term nasal outcomes after nasal surgery, reducing discomfort and risk of synechia. This study aimed at evaluating the effect on clinical outcomes of nasal packaging using Fitostimoline® gauze in FESS and septoplasty. METHODS: A case-control study on hospitalized patients was performed in a tertiary referral center. The control group included 20 patients treated with the standard surgical protocol for septoplasty and standard nasal packaging; treatment group included 21 patients underwent same surgical procedure but in whom the nasal tampon was wrapped with a gauze containing Fitostimoline® before being placed into the nose...

PURPOSE: Laser cordectomy is a widely accepted treatment modality for selected cases of early glottic cancers, but its role as a salvage treatment remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the oncological outcomes and failure patterns of salvage cordectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cordectomy for early glottic cancer between 2013 and 2022 at a tertiary referral center. The main outcome measures were overall survival, larynx-preservation rate, tracheostomy dependency rate, and disease-free survival...
