Objective Opioid use disorder (OUD), which includes the morbidity of dependence and mortality overdose, has reached epidemic proportions in United States. Overprescription opioids can lead to chronic misuse, unused narcotics after surgery their diversion. Research supports that most patients do not take all prescribed surgeons are second largest prescribers The introduction those with OUD often begins prescription opioids. Reducing number extra available through smaller prescriptions, safe...
Emerging reports of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) after COVID-19 vaccination within the otolaryngological community and public have raised concern about a possible association between development SSNHL.To examine potential SSNHL.This cross-sectional study case series involved an up-to-date population-based analysis 555 incident probable SSNHL in Centers for Disease Control Prevention Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) over first 7 months US campaign (December 14,...
Abstract Objective Preoperative planning for otologic or neurotologic procedures often requires manual segmentation of relevant structures, which can be tedious and time‐consuming. Automated methods segmenting multiple geometrically complex structures not only streamline preoperative but also augment minimally invasive and/or robot‐assisted in this space. This study evaluates a state‐of‐the‐art deep learning pipeline semantic temporal bone anatomy. Study Design A descriptive network. Setting...
Gender dysphoria is estimated to occur in over 1 million people the United States. With decreasing stigma regarding transgender population, it likely more patients will seek medical and surgical gender transition as parts of their treatment. However, otolaryngologists may lack training gender-confirming surgery. This study aims determine current state transgender-related education States otolaryngology programs evaluate trainee perceptions importance such training.A cross-sectional survey...
Objective This study investigates the accuracy of an automated method to rapidly segment relevant temporal bone anatomy from cone beam computed tomography (CT) images. Implementation this segmentation pipeline has potential improve surgical safety and decrease operative time by augmenting preoperative planning interfacing with image‐guided robotic systems. Study Design Descriptive predicted segmentations. Setting Academic institution. Methods We have developed a computational based on...
Use microscopic video-based tracking of laryngeal surgical instruments to investigate the effect robot assistance on instrument tremor.
Abstract Our ability to hear through bone conduction (BC) has long been recognized, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Why certain perturbations affect BC hearing also unclear. An example hyperacusis (hypersensitive hearing)—an unnerving symptom experienced by patients with superior canal dehiscence (SCD). We measured BC-evoked sound pressures in scala vestibuli ( P SV ) and tympani ST at basal cochlea cadaveric human ears, estimated cochlear input drive DIFF = – before after...

Objective Cochlear implant (CI) candidacy and postoperative outcomes are assessed using sets of speech perception tests that vary from center to center, limiting comparisons across institutions time periods. The objective this study was determine if scores on one test could be reliably predicted another test. Study Design Arizona Biomedical (AzBio) Sentence Test, Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant word (CNCw), Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) quiet for the implanted ear were collected individuals who...
To quantitatively compare the ergonomic risk of otologic surgeries performed with endoscopes and microscopes.Observational cross-sectional study.Operating room a tertiary academic medical center.Intraoperative neck angles otolaryngology attendings, fellows, residents were assessed during 17 using inertial measurement unit sensors. Sensors attached midline between shoulder blades on posterior scalp participants calibrated just prior to beginning each case. Quaternion data used calculate...
To investigate the relationship between ergonomic positions and electromyographic muscle activity during otologic drilling.
Hypothesis Automated image registration techniques can successfully determine anatomical variation in human temporal bones with statistical shape modeling. Background There is a lack of knowledge about inter-patient the bone. Statistical models (SSMs) provide powerful method for quantifying structures medical images but are time-intensive to manually develop. This study presents SSMs bone anatomy using automated image-registration techniques. Methods Fifty-three cone-beam CTs were included...
Objective: To describe rates of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea after reconstruction the IAC with calcium phosphate bone cement during retrosigmoid resections vestibular schwannomas. Methods: A retrospective chart review 177 patients who underwent craniotomy and opening internal auditory canal for resection a schwannoma between January 2016 September 2019 at tertiary referral center. Patients other cerebellopontine angle tumor histology, neurofibromatosis type II, or those undergoing...
Objective Proposed methods of minimally invasive and robot‐assisted procedures within the temporal bone require measurements surgically relevant distances angles, which often time‐consuming manual segmentation preoperative imaging. This study aims to describe an automatic measurement extraction pipeline cone‐beam computed tomography (CT) scans. Study Design Descriptive measurements. Setting Academic institution. Methods A propagation template composed 16 CT scans was formed with anatomical...
The inner ear arises from multipotent placodal precursors that are gradually committed to the otic fate and further differentiate into all cell types, with exception of a few immigrating neural crest-derived cells. otocyst plays pivotal role during development: progenitor cells sub-compartmentalize non-sensory prosensory domains, giving rise individual vestibular auditory organs their associated ganglia. genes pathways underlying this progressive subdivision differentiation process not...
