COVID-19 Omicron variant-induced laryngitis
: The COVID-19 omicron variant has a low affinity for the lower respiratory tract. However, upper respiratory tract symptoms, such as nasal discharge and sore throat, characterize the infection with this variant. Therefore, in laryngeal stenosis, disease severity assessment through blood oxygen saturation has not been useful. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Expressions of NeuroD and GAP43 as diagnostic markers for olfactory neuroblastoma
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is often difficult to pathologically distinguish from other small round cell tumors (SRCTs) arising in the nasal cavities. Although there are several diagnostic markers used for differential diagnosis of ONB, these molecules are also expressed in various neuronal derived tumors. Here, we examined the expression of NeuroD, GAP43, and olfactory marker protein (OMP) in ONB and non-ONB SRCT to determine their utility in the differential diagnosis of ONB.

Bedside evaluation of swallowing function to predict aspiration pneumonia in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Aspiration pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in patients with muscular dystrophy; therefore, it is important to predict its occurrence in the clincal setting. We aimed to examine the usefulness of repeated saliva swallowing test (RSST), modified water swallowing test (MWST), and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) for evaluating the Hyodo score at the bedside, to predict the risk of aspiration pneumonia in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Intractable otitis media - Pathogenesis and treatment of Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) and otitis media with Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) -associated vasculitis (OMAAV)
Intractable otitis media is resistant to antimicrobial therapy, tympanostomy ventilation tube insertion, and surgery. In children, intractable acute otitis media, pathological tympanic membrane due to prolonged otitis media with effusion (OME), tympanic membrane atelectasis, and adhesive otitis media are common. Contrarily, in adults, otitis media caused by drug-resistant pathogens, tuberculous otitis media, cholesterol granuloma, malignant otitis externa (skull base osteomyelitis), eosinophilic otitis media (EOM), and otitis media with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (OMAAV) are common and...

A Multicenter Study to Investigate the Positive Rate of SARS-CoV-2 in Middle Ear and Mastoid Specimens from Otologic Surgery Patients
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus, causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Otologic surgeries with drilling by powered instruments induce significant aerosols, which may induce SARS-CoV-2 transmission to medical staff if SARS-CoV-2 exists in the middle ear and mastoid cavity. During a COVID-19 pandemic, therefore, confirming a negative COVID-19 test prior to otologic surgery is recommended. However, previous coronavirus studies demonstrated that coronavirus was detected in the middle ear in some patients even though the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test using their nas...

Current status of diffusion-weighted imaging in differentiating parotid tumors
Recently, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an essential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol for head and neck imaging in clinical practice as it plays an important role in lesion detection, tumor extension evaluation, differential diagnosis, therapeutic effect prediction, therapy evaluation, and recurrence diagnosis. Especially in the parotid gland, several studies have already attempted to achieve accurate differentiation between benign and malignant tumors using DWI. A conventional single-shot echo-planar-based DWI is widely used for head and neck imaging, whereas advanced DWI sequences, such as intravoxel incoh...

Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the Larynx
We report a rare case of laryngeal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in an 85-year-old female patient, which was difficult to diagnose even after several biopsies from the primary laryngeal lesion, both under local and general anesthesia, and the diagnosis of DLBCL was obtained from the lymph node biopsy, which appeared in the proximity of the larynx 2 months after the first biopsy from the larynx.
