Background Otitis media (OM) susceptibility has significant heritability; however, the role of rare variants in OM is mostly unknown. Our goal to identify novel that confer susceptibility. Methods We performed exome and Sanger sequencing >1000 DNA samples from 551 multiethnic families with unrelated individuals, RNA-sequencing microbiome analyses swabs outer ear, middle nasopharynx oral cavity. also examined protein localisation gene expression infected healthy ear tissues. Results A...
To investigate the popular social media platforms Instagram and Facebook for public posts related to tympanostomy tubes in children, discern attitudes perceptions surrounding tubes, evaluate content of tubes.Qualitative study.Instagram platforms.Instagram were searched from 2018 2019 including search terms "ear tubes,""ear tube surgery,""tympanostomy," "myringotomy." Posts excluded if they unrelated pediatric or written a non-English language. Relevant underwent subgroup analysis based on 6...
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a source of significant morbidity in children. Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard diagnostic tool for OSA, often unavailable due to patient financial and geographic constraints. Our objective analyze relationship between patient's subjective complaints results from their PSG determine value Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) detecting OSA Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted pediatric patients with suspected March 2012...
<h3>Objective</h3> To explore how rigid and flexible bronchoscopy are used in pediatric otolaryngologic practice. <h3>Design</h3> Survey. <h3>Participants</h3> Members of the American Society Pediatric Otolaryngology who practice United States Canada were listed membership directory eligible. Of 206 members, 24 practicing outside or 11 without an e-mail address a fax machine excluded. Hence, questionnaire was e-mailed faxed to 171 otolaryngologists. <h3>Main Outcome Measures</h3> Questions...
Objectives To demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of Google Glass as a tool to improve patient satisfaction patient–physician communication for otolaryngology residents in outpatient clinic setting. The primary outcome study was scores based on physician communication‐related questions from Consumer Assessment Healthcare Providers Systems ( CAHPS ) surveys. Study design Prospective randomised trial. Setting Tertiary care hospital. Subject methods evaluate effect satisfaction, five were...
Attention to physician well-being has traditionally focused on substance abuse, usually with disciplinary implications. But, in recent years, greater notice been granted toward burnout and overall wellness. Burnout its sequelae not only affect physicians physicians-in-training as individuals, but the impact then multiplies it affects these physicians' patients, colleagues, hospital systems. In addition, American Medical Association Code of Ethics charges a responsibility maintain their own...
Introduction . Plexiform schwannoma is a rare variant of that accounts for only 5% all schwannomas. Herein, we present case plexiform the tongue in pediatric patient with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Case Presentation A 13-year-old female presented growing left-sided mass. The has past medical history NF2. mass was excised and histopathological examination revealed spindle cell tumor multinodular growth pattern, Verocay bodies' formation. Tumor cells were strongly positive S-100 protein...
Abstract Otitis media (OM), a very common disease in young children, can result hearing loss. In order to potentially replicate previously reported associations between OM and PLG, exome Sanger sequencing, RNA-sequencing of saliva middle ear samples, 16S rRNA molecular modeling, statistical analyses including transmission disequilibrium tests (TDT) were performed multi-ethnic cohort 718 families simplex cases with OM. We identified four rare PLG variants c.112A > G (p.Lys38Glu), c.782G A...
Lingual tonsil abscess is a rare disorder previously reported only once in the English literature. Because of their similar structure to that palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils have propensity develop infection same way. The progression infection, however, different lack capsule, thus preventing formation peritonsillar abscess. Therefore, place for spread either into tongue or parapharyngeal space. Here we present our experience with latter, and provide radiographic evidence disease. abscess,...
