Water protection in paediatric patients with ventilation tubes: Myth or reality? A systematic review
CONCLUSION: Based on the literature available, allowing water surface activities with no ear protection seems to present a minimum risk, so it is not necessary to prohibit patients from swimming. However, some recommendations should be followed.PMID:34412895 | DOI:10.1016/j.otorri.2021.05.006 (Source: Acta Otorrinolaringologica Espanola)

Inflammatory Pseudotumor of the Temporal Bone Leading to Atypical Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome: A Novel Case Report
Conclusions: Inflammatory pseudotumor of the temporal bone is a rare benign inflammatory process. We present what is to our knowledge the first description of superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome developing in the setting of inflammatory pseudotumor. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

The Price of Otologic Procedures: Variation in Markup by Surgical Procedure and Geography in the United States
Objective: To characterize and analyze variation in price markup of seven common otologic surgeries by procedure and geographic region. Study Design: Retrospective Analysis of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services database of 2017 Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Public File. Setting: Inpatient and outpatient centers delivering Medicare-reimbursed services. Patients: Full sample of patients undergoing procedures with Medicare fee-for-service final action claims during 2017. Interventions: Seven procedures (myringotomy, tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, tympanomastoidectomy stap...

Differential Regulation of Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern Release in a Mouse Model of Skeletal Muscle Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
ConclusionsHMGB1, but not histone H3, translocated to the cytoplasm during skeletal muscle ischemia, and was released into the systemic circulation after reperfusion in mice with I/R injury. Treatment with anti-HMGB1 antibodies partially improved survival. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)

Comparison of Oral Loading Dose to Intravenous Acetaminophen in Children for Analgesia After Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Opioid-sparing effects did not differ following an oral or standard IV acetaminophen loading dose with no identified acetaminophen toxicity in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy who received standardized multimodal postoperative analgesia. An oral loading dose may provide more consistent serum acetaminophen levels at lower cost compared to a standard IV dose.PMID:34304234 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000005678 (Source: Anesthesia and Analgesia)

Laceration of Aberrant Internal Carotid Artery Following Myringotomy: A Case Report and Review of Literature
CONCLUSIONS: An aberrant ICA can cause life-threatening complications without prior diagnosis in a routine myringotomy. Suspicious exam findings should prompt temporal bone CT to rule out aberrant ICA or other vascular pathology of the middle ear prior to surgery. In the case of iatrogenic injury of an aberrant ICA, there is no consensus in existing literature on optimal management. We reviewed 37 studies to compare therapeutic options and subsequent outcomes. Though complications are rare regardless of management, cases in which solely packing was utilized demonstrated an increased incidence of hemiparesis, aphasia, heari...

Comprehensive metrics for evaluating surgical microscope use during tympanostomy tube placement
ConclusionsPerformance metrics were implemented, and construct validity was established for a subset of the proposed metrics by discriminating between expert and novice participants. These discriminatory metrics could form the basis of an automated system for providing feedback to residents during training while using a myringotomy surgical simulator. Additionally, these metrics may be useful in guiding a standardized teaching and evaluation methodology for training in the use of surgical microscopes.
