Abstract Background To determine the safety of Botox and its potential effect on alleviating radiation therapy (RT)‐induced sialadenitis in head neck cancer patients. Methods Twenty patients with stage III/IV were randomized to receive or saline injections into both submandibular glands (SMG). There three visits: one before RT (V1); 1 week after (V2); 6 weeks (V3), each which included saliva collection, a 24‐h dietary recall, quality‐of‐life survey. Results No adverse events observed. While...
Objective To investigate the impact of neighborhood‐level social vulnerability on pediatric tonsillectomy outcomes. Methods This single‐center retrospective cohort study included tonsillectomies performed children aged 1 to 18 between August 2019 and 2020. Geographic information systems were used geocode addresses, spatial overlays assign census‐tract level index (SVI) scores each patient. For categorical variables, two‐sided Pearson chi‐square tests used, whereas for continuous paired t...
Abstract Objective The objective if this study was to investigate phenotypic differences in airway obstruction, as determined by VOTE score, a cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing drug‐induced endoscopy (DISE). Methods Patients older than 18 years age scheduled for DISE one surgeon at tertiary care center from July 2016 2022 were included single‐center retrospective study. Patient demographics, body mass index (BMI), apnea‐hypopnea (AHI), and scores extracted....
Objectives To determine the sialendoscopy findings associated with positive on minor salivary gland biopsy. Study Design Single‐center retrospective study. Methods Patients ≥18 years old who underwent from 2016 to 2022 and were evaluated for SS via labial Biopsy negative patients compared primary outcome measure of findings. Data abstracted operative notes included involved gland, location ductal pathology, presence scarring, stenosis, mucus plugs, webs, dilations. Additional characteristics...
Objectives: Sinonasal malignancies are a rare and biologically diverse group of tumors which comprise less than 5% all head neck cancers. Differences in patient demographics, health insurance status, access to healthcare resources known affect survival across the spectrum malignancies, but adequately powered studies historically rely on national database queries due rarity lesions. Understanding availability impact community patient's diagnosis is thus quite difficult, especially large,...
