Given the high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms, increased appreciation for workplace ergonomics is critical. The purpose this study to assess symptoms and injury among otolaryngologists across subspecialties, as well quantify understanding application ergonomic principles in operating room.Cross-sectional study.An online REDCap survey was distributed electronically University Kansas faculty, alumni, residents; members American Academy Facial Plastic Reconstructive...
This study aims to identify factors associated with increased decision regret (DR) 12 months following treatment among head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. A retrospective observational cohort study. Patients newly diagnosed HNC at an academic tertiary care center from 2018 2023. Data a patient registry assessing quality of life (QOL), DR, social support, anxiety initial diagnosis post-treatment were analyzed. Only patients who completed the questionnaire included. Among 225 participants,...
Abstract Objective Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) often encounter delays in starting postoperative radiotherapy (PORT), leading to worse outcomes. We investigated whether attending second‐touch visits—appointments after the initial clinic visit before surgery address treatment‐related questions follow‐up expectations—with an advanced practice provider (APP) is associated reduced PORT delays. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Single tertiary...
Here we provide direct evidence that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a phosphaturic hormone elevated in chronic kidney disease, is proarrhythmic. FGF23 acutely triggered ventricular arrhythmias and prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) isolated mouse hearts vivo. also increased Ca 2+ levels muscle tissue. Blockade of the FGF receptor 4 signaling pathway using monoclonal antibody ameliorated arrhythmias, QTc prolongation, induced by FGF23, may represent potential therapeutic target disease.
Objective Dysphonia is commonly encountered by primary care physicians and general otolaryngologists. We examine practice patterns of referring to a tertiary voice clinic, including adherence evidence‐based guidelines. Study Design Retrospective case series with chart review. Setting Academic hospital. Subjects Methods In total, 821 charts patients complaints seen at clinic between January 2011 June 2016 were reviewed. Included (n = 755) reviewed for type provider, prior diagnoses,...
In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), anti-PD-1 inhibitors are approved for recurrent/metastatic (R/M) disease anticipated to expand other indications. The impact of p16 status anatomical site on overall survival (OS) in immunotherapy-treated HNSCC patients remains unresolved. We performed a retrospective analysis R/M receiving immunotherapy at our academic medical center with an extensive community satellite network. Fifty-three were treated had median OS 6 months. Anatomical...
Objectives/Hypothesis The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between antibiotic prophylaxis and prevalence multidrug‐resistant organisms (MDRO) in patients undergoing head neck cancer reconstruction. Study Design Retrospective Chart Review. Methods review who underwent free flap reconstruction at our institution 2009 2016. Results Of 145 that tumor removal surgery using tissue flaps cover defect therafter received prophylaxis, 30 (20.7%) developed postoperative surgical...
Objectives Evaluate resident perception on implementation of a night float (NF) system to an otolaryngology residency program. We compared these perceptions Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) case log data. Methods A retrospective anonymous survey was sent residents and alumni graduating between 2015 2023. Deidentified ACGME information then examined key indicator (KI) cases from post graduate year (PGY) 2 PGY5. Results Thirty (93.8%) responded. Residents with NF...
Objectives The number of transsphenoidal adenohypophysectomies (TSAs) surgeries has grown significantly since 1993. While there been an overall decreasing trend in length stay (LOS), socioeconomic factors may impact hospitalization. This study explores the on LOS and total charges uncomplicated patients undergoing TSA. Design Retrospective cohort. Setting 2009 to 2013 Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Participants Patients TSA without medical complications. Main Outcomes Measures charges. Results...
Objective To determine differences in post‐treatment QoL across treatment settings patients receiving adjuvant radiation therapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods This was a prospective observational cohort study of with HNSCC initially evaluated surgical oncologic reconstructive clinic at an academic medical center (AMC). Participants were enrolled prior to registry collecting demographic, social, clinical data. Physical social–emotional (phys‐QoL soc‐QoL,...
Objectives / Hypothesis While nonunion after mandibular reconstruction for head and neck surgery is rare, literature exploring management scarce. Our primary objective was to determine success rates of tibial bone graft (TBG) in achieving union. Secondary objectives include determining factors that contribute failure TBG. Study Design Retrospective Chart Review. Methods chart review between January 1, 2008 December 31, 2018. Patients who underwent a mandibulotomy or mandibulectomy with...
