Retrospective comparison of first-line treatments for odontogenic sinusitis based on duration of symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the clinical utility of dental treatment and/or ESS depended on the morbidity period of ODS. For chronic ODS, combined ESS and dental treatment seems to be an effective first-line treatment.PMID:38420842 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2648 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Measuring financial toxicity in head and neck cancer: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: FT is a relatively new challenge in head and neck cancer treatment, whose expenses are higher than therapies for other cancers. A universal method to assess FT and a unified guideline for the administration of questionnaires are needed to mitigate FT and to improve patient outcomes.PMID:38420716 | PMC:PMC10914354 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2762 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Management of nasal vestibule carcinomas: recommendations by the Oncological Committee of the Italian Society of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: The Committee emphasises the critical role of an accurate classification in clinical practice and encourages further research to validate the novel staging system and further improve treatment strategies. Where appropriate, it is recommended that patients be referred to centres with specific experience in brachytherapy for NV SCC.PMID:38420717 | PMC:PMC10914357 | DOI:10.14639/0392-100X-N2786 (Source: Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica)

Extended cervical approach for retrosternal multinodular goiter

Is there a role for voice therapy in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux? A pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of voice therapy to medications and diet appears to be more effective in improving treatment outcomes in subjects with LPR.

Effect of stapes demineralisation on the development of cochlear otosclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Bone remodelling is most significant at the closest location to typical otosclerotic lesions with hydroxyapatite porosity and scale-like bone formation according to scanning electron microscopy.
