Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is the most common benign tumor found in nasal cavity and has potential for locally destructive effects malignant transformation [1-3]. Birkenbeuel et al. demonstrate that 565 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of their IP, 5-year overall survival rate was 62% a mean recurrence time 24.3 months [4]. Therefore, follow-up crucial detection preemptive revision resection prior to transformation. While postulated, it not yet been examined how socioeconomic...
Objectives: Osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction can be complicated by hardware failure. The present study investigates the frequency and predictors of failure in head neck osteocutaneous reconstruction. Methods: Patients who underwent between years 2014 2022 were identified at our institution. Hardware was defined as infection, screw plate loosening, exposed hardware, migration, deformation, or fracture. Results: We 47 patients met inclusion criteria for this study. Common indications...
Study Design. Scoping review. Objective. The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review exploring the extent which preference sensitivity has been studied in treatment decisions for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), utilizing shared decision-making (SDM) as proxy. Background. Preference-sensitive care involves situations where multiple options exist with significant tradeoffs cost, outcome, recovery time, and quality life. LSS gained research focus preference-sensitive scenario....
Abstract Objective To characterize neighborhood‐level area deprivation's association with oropharyngeal carcinoma clinicodemographics, tumor staging, recurrence, and overall survival. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Single institution academic medical center. Methods Patients diagnosed squamous cell (OPSCC) between 2007 2022 at our were included in this The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used to quantify disadvantage based on patients’ primary residence the time of their...
There is currently no comprehensive tool that quantifiably measures validated factors of modern technology access in the US for digital inequity impact on esophageal cancer care (EC). To assess influence inequities disparities while accounting traditional social determinants. 15,656 EC patients from 2013-2017 SEER were assessed significant regression trends long-term follow-up, survival, prognosis, and treatment with increasing overall inequity, as measured by Digital Inequity Index (DII)....
Background: Sinonasal inverted papilloma is the most common benign tumor found in nasal cavity and has potential for locally destructive effects malignant transformation. More extensive papillomas are often harder to excise can jeopardize other structures, sites of attachment more difficult fully delineate. In this study, we examine effect patient geographical socioeconomic factors, as assessed by Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a calculation based on domains income, education, employment,...
The role of RNA Binding Motif Protein 8a (RBM8A), an exon junction complex (EJC) component, in neurodevelopmental disorders has been increasingly studied for its crucial regulating multiple levels gene expression. It regulates mRNA splicing, translation, and degradation influences embryonic development. RBM8A protein is expressed both neurons astrocytes, but little known about RBM8A's specific glial fibrillary acid (GFAP)-positive astrocytes. To address the we generated a conditional...
Hybrid peripheral nerve sheath tumors (HPNSTs) are classified as benign that consist of at least two tumor subtypes - neurofibroma, schwannoma, or perineurioma the lesion site. While there reports these lesions in head and neck, is no documentation a hypopharynx hybrid neurofibroma-schwannoma literature. This case report describes clinical presentation, treatment, histopathologic features 45-year-old man. The patient presented to clinic with mild dysphagia globus but prior history neck...
Study Design: Level 3 retrospective database study. Objective: This study aims to compare work RVU (wRVU), practice expense (peRVU), malpractice (mpRVU), and inflation-adjusted facility price alongside MS-DRG relative weight length of stay (LOS) for cervical spine fusions between 2011 2023. Summary Background Data: Both reimbursement have been studied in various surgical subspecialties; however, little investigation has centered on fusions. To the best our knowledge, this is first...
Study Design: Retrospective database study. Objective: This study aims to quantify and compare mean work RVUs (wRVUs), operative time (OpTime), wRVUs/min in single- multilevel anterior posterior cervical spine fusions performed between 2011 2020. Summary of Background Data: Prior research has demonstrated inconsistencies technical skill, time, surgical difficulty with reimbursement various orthopedic subspecialties. Although trends investigating physician effort have been investigated lumbar...
Key points Racial disparities influence the completion of aspirin (ASA) desensitization and ASA‐exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) diagnosis age. Public insurance correlates with an official AERD after age 50. Social factors, including race status, impact adherence to ASA desensitization.
Mucosal contact between the turbinates and septum is implicated as a cause of headache migraine. The prevalence mucosal reported to be low 4%. However, inclusion criteria in that study were restrictive, no data on superior turbinate reported. We sought determine nasal endoscopy its association with
Abstract Objectives: To develop and implement a novel, comprehensive tool called the Digital Inequity Index (DII) that quantifiably measures modern technology access in US to assess impact of digital inequity on esophageal cancer (EC) care nationwide. Methods: A total of15,656 EC patients from 2013-2017 SEER were assessed for significant regression trends long-term follow-up, survival, prognosis, treatment with increasing overall inequity, as measured by DII. The DII was calculated based 17...
