Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor Reduces Revision Sinus Surgery in People With Cystic Fibrosis
To assess whether elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) reduces the frequency of endoscopic sinus surgeries (ESS) in patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF).
Dermal Metastasis From Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis
Dermal metastasis from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a rare and poorly understood manifestation of advanced disease, historically linked to poor prognosis. This systematic review aims to better characterize the clinical associations, treatment paradigms, and survival outcomes associated with this entity.
Optical Coherence Tomography as an Emerging Technique for Identifying Pediatric Middle Ear Effusion
Acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME) rely on accurate characterization of middle ear effusion (MEE). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a potential modality for noninvasive analysis of MEE, thereby assisting with otitis media diagnosis. This study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of OCT with otoscopy and tympanometry in pediatric patients.
Alginate Therapy for Gastroesophageal Reflux in Pregnancy: A Scoping Review
Alginate therapies are a promising option for managing gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), but most treatments are not recommended during pregnancy. This scoping review aimed to summarize the current outcomes research on the use of alginate therapy for treating GERD during pregnancy.
Effect of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery on Eustachian Tube Function
Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common comorbidity in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study aims to investigate the effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on Eustachian tube function (ETF) in patients with CRS.
In-Office Steroid Injections for Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis: A Systematic Review
To critically evaluate clinical and voice-related outcomes of in-office serial intralesional steroid injection (SILSI) in adults diagnosed with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS).
DISE Findings Across Comorbidity Groups and Surgical Status in Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has gained popularity for evaluating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children, particularly those with comorbidities or residual disease after adenotonsillectomy (T&A). This study aimed to characterize DISE findings in pediatric OSA/SDB across surgical status (surgically naive vs. post-T&A) and comorbidities (Down syndrome and overweight/obese children).

The Laryngology Fellowship Crisis: Rising Training Capacity Amidst Declining Applicant Interest
Prior literature has identified gaps in the United States (US) laryngologist workforce. However, there are few studies analyzing the training pathway for laryngologists. The objectives of this study were to define trends in the number of applicants, training spots, and unfilled training spots for laryngology fellowship training.
Optimizing Dizziness Management: Impact of Audiology Triage on Care Efficiency
To evaluate the impact of a vestibular audiology-driven triage system on care efficiency for patients presenting with dizziness.
