Medical management of rhinitis in pregnancy
Medical treatment options for patients with rhinitis during pregnancy need careful considerations. It is important to distinguish between the causes of rhinitis, as this can influence treatment. Conservative options are important for patients with pregnancy-induced rhinitis (PIR) and pre-existing allergic or non-allergic rhinitis. Education and knowledge that PIR symptoms will resolve after pregnancy can offer some relief. Other strategies such as exercise, positioning, saline nasal douching/lavage, and nasal valve dilators are safe in pregnancy and can have a benefit in these patients with rhinitis of any aetiology.

The potential use of virtual reality in vestibular rehabilitation of motion sickness
Motion sickness (MS) can be triggered by direct or indirect stimuli due to mismatches in the visual-vestibular autonomic pathways. Various studies in the literature have shown that virtual reality technologies can generate provocative stimuli for MS. Therefore, our primary aim is to investigate the usability of virtual reality systems in MS rehabilitation (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Reliable and safe salivary duct repositioning technique with partial transection and intraductal stenting: Technical notes
Salivary duct repositioning is often performed after excision of malignant tumors or removal of sialoliths to maintain salivary function and minimize the risk of swelling or pain due to the obstruction of the gland. However, there is risk of intraoperative tissue damage due to traumatic manipulation, leading to stenosis; in addition, the small diameter of the duct also renders this procedure difficult. Recently, we improved our method of salivary duct repositioning as follows. In the first technique, partial transection is made on the lateral wall of the duct ligated with thread at the end.

New method to evaluate sequelae of static facial asymmetry in patients with facial palsy using three-dimensional scanning analysis
During the process of neural recovery after facial palsy, distressing sequelae of static and dynamic facial asymmetry develop in patients with facial palsy. A pronounced nasolabial fold is mainly responsible for static facial asymmetry, which leads to many psychological and social problems in patients. Objective and qualitative assessment of facial appearance is critical to determine the severity of sequelae of static facial asymmetry and whether an intervention is effective for treatment. In the present study, an attempt was made to develop three-dimensional analysis method to assess sequelae of static facial asymmetry af...

Transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal cancer in the era of chemoradiation therapy
Over time, the primary treatment modality of oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers (OPSCC) is intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), eventually associated with chemotherapy (CHT). This treatment modality is preferred for reduced impact on the quality of life rather than aggressive open surgical approaches. The advent of TransOral Robotic Surgery (TORS) has rediscovered the role of surgery in the treatment of OPSCC. Although the primary chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) are competing for similar oncologic results, CRT may result in significant functional complaints such as severe dysphag...

Rabbit model with vocal fold hyperadduction
Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD) is caused by hyperadduction of the vocal folds during phonation, resulting in a strained voice. Animal models are not yet used to elucidate this intractable disease because AdSD has a difficult pathology without a definitive origin. For the first step, we established an animal model with vocal fold hyperadduction and evaluated its validity by assessing laryngeal function. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Imaging characteristics of hypertrophic pachymeningitis due to ANCA-associated vasculitis
Objective: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare disorder that causes localized or diffuse inflammatory fibrosis and thickening of the dura mater. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV)-related HP is the most frequent form of HP. Otitis media with AAV (OMAAV) patients with HP are associated with higher rates of both ANCA-negative phenotypes and disease-related mortality. However, few studies have reported the imaging characteristics of HP due to AAV/OMAAV. Therefore, we investigated this issue in the present study. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Long-term changes in serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen levels after surgery in patients with sinonasal inverted papilloma
This study aimed to examine whether serum SCCA levels can be used as clinical markers for monitoring recurrence of sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) during the follow-up period after surgery. We measured long-term changes in serum levels of SCCA after surgery in patients with IP and examined whether postoperative SCCA levels were associated with IP recurrence.
