Understanding the three phases of research can help principal investigators encourage trainees to successfully complete research projects.
A Conversation with AMA’s New President
Bruce A. Scott, MD, the new president-elect of the American Medical Association, has spent much of his professional career volunteering with the association. We spent some time with Dr. Scott to discuss his beginnings in otolaryngology, the challenges that face physicians today, and his hopes for the future.
Navigating Noncompete Agreements
Millions of physicians have careers and lives that are limited by noncompete clauses, a type of contract covenant that may also be called a “restrictive covenant” or “non-interference” clause. With federal rule changes coming, what impact will these actions have on otolaryngologists in the future?
Supporting Wellness Through Communities
Faculty and residents, alike, need to prioritize their own well-being and take time for self-care and the care of loved ones.
3D-4K Exoscope-Assisted CO2 Laser Supraglottoplasty for Severe Laryngomalacia in a Pediatric Patient
Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common congenital laryngeal anomaly caused by a delay in the maturation of supporting laryngeal cartilages. Three-dimensional exoscopy has had satisfactory and promising results in adults, but only a few pediatric series have been published.
Inconsistency in Findings that Intraoperative Electrocochleography Improves Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation
Electrocochleography (ECoG) has historically been used for measuring hearing thresholds and identifying endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière’s disease. More recently, ECoG application has expanded to monitor electrical potentials during cochlear implantation as an indirect measure of cochlear trauma.
Laryngeal Reinnervation Is Recommended Surgical Intervention for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Laryngeal reinnervation should be offered to all patients independent of patient age or duration of denervation, as it can improve voice and swallowing. Long-term denervation, however, may result in a smaller degree of improvement.
Determining Appropriate Objective Testing for Patients with Suspected Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
Staging severity of laryngopharyngeal reflux with more objective testing is crucial to understanding its natural history, forecasting response to treatment, and it may serve as a gateway to considering surgical treatments.
Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer Report Taste Changes Following TORS
Self-reported taste changes in patients with oropharyngeal cancer who have had TORS are frequent; suspension time and glossopharyngeal nerve injury are unlikely to cause symptomatic TDs.
Extremely Preterm Infants Have Equivalent Decannulation Success but More Complications Post-LTR
Compared with all other patients, extremely premature infants have equivalent decannulation success but are at an increased risk for complications following LTR.
