Modelling the effects of post-FESS middle turbinate synechiae on sinonasal physiology: A computational fluid dynamics study
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is common and often requires surgical intervention. Surgical failure may lead to persistent symptoms and recalcitrant disease, often secondary to synechiae between the middle turbinate (MT) and lateral nasal wall. Synechiae prevention techniques have been extensively investigated, however evidence for the effect of synechiae on sinonasal physiology is lacking. We aimed to model the effects of MT synechiae on a post-functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) sinonasal cavity using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Reviewing Kampo medicine (Traditional Japanese Herbal Medicine) for otology/neurotology diseases
Kampo medicine, a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, is used for the treatment of otologic and neurotologic diseases in Japan and other Asian countries. However, only Japanese medical doctors can prescribe both Kampo and modern (Western) medicine. Since a medical doctor can perform not only the diagnosis but also Kampo treatment, it is expected that the quality of clinical studies on traditional herbal medicine is higher in Japan than that in other countries. However, there is no Kampo review written in English language for the treatment of otology/neurotology diseases. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Listening handicap in tinnitus patients by controlling extended high frequencies - Effort or fatigue?
In previous studies, the results regarding the presence of listening effort or fatigue in tinnitus patients were inconsistent. The reason for this inconsistency could be that extended high frequencies, which can cause listening handicap, were not considered. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the listening skills in tinnitus patients by matching the hearing thresholds at all frequencies, including the extended high frequency.

Diagnosis and treatment of taste disorders in Japan
Though 270,000 patients with complaints of taste abnormalities visited medical institutions annually in 2019 survey, there are no drugs for the treatment of taste disorders that are covered by health insurance in Japan. In the survey, the number of patients with taste disorders was correlated with age, and the need for medical treatment for taste disorders is expected to increase in the future because of the super-aging society.The pathophysiology of taste disorders varies widely. There is an obvious need to decide the site and the causes of the disorder and understand the mechanism, by performing various examinations. (So...

p16 status and high-risk human papilloma virus infection in squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule
The status of human papilloma virus (HPV) and p16 overexpression for nasal vestibule squamous cell carcinoma (NVSCC) is unclear. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the presence of HPV and the role of p16 overexpression as a surrogate marker in cases of NVSCC. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Effects of COVID-19 pandemic on hospital visit of head and neck cancer patients
Head and neck cancer (HNC) often causes respiratory symptoms, so diagnostic delays due to COVID-19 are anticipated. Especially, our institute is a designated medical institute for Class 1 specified infectious diseases, and most of the severe COVID-19 patients in this region were preferentially admitted or transferred. Hereby, we evaluated the trends of the numbers, primary sites and clinical stages of HNC patients before and after COVID-19 pandemic. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

15-year follow-up for steroid-responsive, fluctuating hearing loss in the ear with endolymphatic hydrops confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging
Autoimmune mechanisms may play crucial roles in the etiology of endolymphatic hydrops (ELH), which was previously regarded as a postmortem finding in the temporal bone. Recently, ELH has been visualized using 3-T MR imaging in living patients. A 47-year-old woman with deafness in the left ear since adolescence developed right-sided steroid-responsive sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies. During over 15 years of follow-up at our otolaryngology clinic, acute deteriorations of hearing in the only hearing ear repeatedly recovered with administration of intravenous and oral steroids.

Relationship between stress levels and endolymphatic space volume in Meniere's disease
Since the first report by Hallpike and Yamakawa in 1938, many more patients with Meniere's disease (MD) with endolymphatic hydrops (EHs) have been described. Mental/physical stress and a subsequent increase in the release of the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) supposedly triggers MD. In the present study, to assess the relationship between stress and EHs, we conducted a series of stress-related questionnaires as well as a 3D endolymphatic space (ELS) analysis in patients with unilateral MD.
