Importance Airway stenosis is a rare but debilitating disorder that significantly degrades the quality of life in affected patients. Treatments are primarily surgical, and disease management lacks established medical therapies. The North American Collaborative held its third symposium at Johns Hopkins Hospital Baltimore, Maryland, on April 15, 2024, focused strategies to advance care these proceedings summarize discussion trial design airway resulting consensus regarding clinical end points...
To evaluate risk factors strongly associated with adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (AO-RRP).Prospective, age- and sex-matched, case control.Patients AO-RRP controls completed a computer-based, 89-item questionnaire across three academic institutions.Forty-eight patients were compared to 73 controls; 43 of the 48 male (89.5%). The difference in median number lifetime sexual partners between (15) (10) was significant (P = 0.0387). Additionally, an increased (≥ 26) AO-RRP. No...
To determine the efficacy of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Smad3 to mediate fibroplasia in vitro, investigate temporal regulation following vocal fold (VF) injury, and local distal effects siRNA VF injection.In vitro vivo.In was examined at both level transcription translation a human cell line response ± transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). Collagen also examined. In vivo, messenger (mRNA) expression quantified as function time rabbit injury. Also, injected were assessed...
To determine if time to tracheostomy decannulation differs among children by socioeconomic status.Case series with chart review.Tertiary pediatric medical center.Patients (≤21 years old) who underwent from January 1, 2011, December 31, 2016. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their status (SES), low SES and high SES. Principal components analysis was used create an index for using census data obtained the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5 year profile 2013 2017....
Objectives/Hypothesis To optimize decellularization of porcine vocal folds (VF) and quantify human bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM‐MSC) interactions with this matrix to provide a foundation for regenerative approaches VF repair. Study Design Methods Vocal were dissected from larynges three protocols compared, each consisting washes mechanical agitations different combinations reagents. DNA content was analyzed via Quant‐iT Picogreen assay hematoxylin eosin staining. Bone MSCs...
To explore the surgical ergonomic challenges experienced by women in otolaryngology, identify specific equipment that is ergonomically challenging, and assess impact of suboptimal ergonomics on female otolaryngologists.
To describe a single institution's experience with the use of steroid-eluting stents after endoscopic transnasal repair choanal atresia.A case series review children who underwent atresia at tertiary children's hospital from June 2017 to January 2018 was performed. Those had mometasone drug-eluting stent (Propel® Mini, Intersect ENT Inc., Palo Alto, CA) placed primary or secondary our institution were included. The outcome measure need for revision surgery due stenosis. Postoperative...
Objectives/Hypothesis To determine oral human papilloma virus (HPV) colonization in patients with adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (AO-RRP) and their long-term partners. Study Design Prospective, cohort study Methods Patients pathology-confirmed AO-RRP a small of partners were subjected to standardized rinse swab protocol obtain epithelial cells. DNA from these samples was extracted both qualitative analyses via multiplex polymerase chain reaction as well commercially...
On April 9, 2021 at the spring Triological Society meeting, I had privilege of participating in a panel on social media. This focused topics such as: "why should get involved media," "how do differentiate between my personal and professional media personas," "where can into trouble with use." Having moderated participated several panels projects past, it was telling that evolved from simply "what is media?," sign up?," or hashtag." We've moved beyond basics. There has undoubtedly been boom...
An 8-year-old male with lymphoblastic lymphoma was noted to have multiple café-au-lait macules and possible Lisch nodules. Work-up revealed the child as compound heterozygous for mutations in DNA mismatch repair gene, MSH6. This case emphasizes many clinical issues regarding individuals biallelic mutations, a rare easily missed hereditary predisposition childhood cancer. The include need high suspicion based on skin examination findings family history, phenotypic similarity neurofibromatosis...
Objectives (1) To determine the short‐term effectiveness of oral steroids in women with benign vocal fold lesions and (2) to adjuvant undergoing voice therapy for lesions. Study Design Randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial. Setting Tertiary care center. Subjects Methods Thirty‐six patients treatment phonotraumatic randomly received either a 4‐day course or placebo prior initiating therapy. Voice Handicap Index–10 (VHI‐10) scores, video audioperceptual analyses, acoustic...
Prior studies of multilevel ProDisc-L (PD-L) implants (Synthes Spine, Inc., West Chester, Pennsylvania) using the standard US technique have used conventional radiography postoperatively. We found vertebral body-splitting fractures (VB-SFs) in interposed bodies after 5 sequential PD-L device implantations technique. These were identified with postoperative computed tomography (CT) but not visible on plain radiographs. In an additional patient, we that a stress-relieving, pilot holes-only did...
To determine the optimal timing of first posttracheostomy microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (MLB).Case series with chart review.Tertiary pediatric medical center.Patients (<21 years age) who underwent tracheostomy placement from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2016. Patients were divided into early late surveillance groups (<6 weeks vs 6 14 weeks, respectively) based on their MLB. The primary outcome was ascertain clinical yield initial MLB by documenting whether a or surgical treatment...
Abstract A 3‐year‐old male presented with severe thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia in conjunction bilateral otitis media. After laboratory analysis, a diagnosis of inherited ADAMTS13 deficiency was proven. Rather than treating prophylactic fresh frozen plasma, to date the patient has been successfully treated single‐donor, directed plasma infusions response early signs relapse. It may be reasonable consider observational reactive care rather some cases deficiency....
