Eosinophilic otitis media; state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment
Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is an intractable otitis media with highly viscous middle ear effusion and is usually associated with bronchial asthma. Since the diagnostic criteria of EOM were established in 2011, the concept of EOM has been known worldwide. EOM is caused by Type 2 inflammation in the respiratory tract, similar to bronchial asthma and eosinophilic rhinosinusitis. With the appreciation of Type 2 inflammatory diseases, EOM is no longer considered to be a rare disease and should be specifically treated to improve quality of life. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Insight into the mechanisms of olfactory dysfunction by COVID-19
One of the unique symptoms of COVID-19 is chemosensory dysfunction. Almost three years since the beginning of the pandemic of COVID-19, there have been many studies on the symptoms, progress, and possible causes, and also studies on methods that may facilitate recovery of the senses. Studies have shown that some people recover their senses even within a couple of weeks whereas there are other patients that fail to recover chemosensory functions fully for several months and some never fully recover.

Recurrent facial palsy: Characteristics of ipsilateral and alternative palsies of 104 cases
Recurrent facial palsy is relatively rare and its clinical details of recurrent facial palsy are not well known. We analyzed recurrent facial palsy cases and clarified its characteristics, especially the difference between ipsilateral and alternative palsies. The analysis aimed to obtain information about recurrent facial palsy that would be useful for delivering explanations to patients and help improve recurrent facial palsy treatments based on the etiology.

Indocyanine green near infrared-guided surgery in children, adolescents, and young adults with otolaryngologic malignancies
The objectives of the present study are twofold. First, we aim to assess the role of ICG NIR imagery in identifying neoplastic disease and second, to evaluate its role as an adjunct to identify metastatic deposits in cervical lymph node in children, adolescents, and young adults with head and neck cancers.

Analysis of auditory brain stem response and otoacoustic emission in unilateral tinnitus patients with normal hearing
In patients with unilateral tinnitus with normal hearing, several studies have compared the ipsilateral and contralateral ears; however, few studies have investigated its relationship with the duration of tinnitus. We compared the auditory brainstem response and otoacoustic emission parameters between ipsilateral and contralateral ears in adults with unilateral tinnitus and normal hearing.

Exhaled nitric oxide levels are associated with the severity of chronic epipharyngitis and decreased via epipharyngeal abrasion
This study aimed to investigate whether the levels of oral exhaled NO indicate the severity of epipharyngitis and whether an epipharyngeal abrasion immediately influences the amount of exhaled NO. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

A decreased prevalence of group 2 innate lymphoid cells in blood is associated with good postoperative outcomes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
Due to the high postoperative recurrence rate in eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (eCRS) patients, there is a need for an index to predict the postoperative outcomes. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are important effector cells for type 2 immune responses in eosinophilic airway inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the prevalence of ILC2s in sinonasal tissues or in peripheral blood is associated with the postoperative outcome in CRS patients.

Effects of endolymphatic space volume on discrepancy of results between caloric test and video head impulse test
The caloric test (C-test) and video head impulse test (vHIT) are known to occasionally show contradictory results in patients with Meniere's disease (MD). The reasons underlying this discrepancy between the two tests are currently unclear. We aimed to reveal the mechanisms responsible for this discrepancy by performing volumetric evaluation of the endolymphatic space (ELS) by using endoluminal contrast-enhanced inner ear MRI (ieMRI).

Pediatric respiratory tract foreign bodies in children: A systematic review
Pediatric respiratory emergencies of airway foreign body (FB) are a common cause of visits to the emergency department (ED) and respiratory failure is a major cause of cardiopulmonary arrest. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the literature and update our current understanding of pediatric respiratory tract FBs in children by clearly considering the aspect of the complications and related factors.

Collaboration between generalist and ENT physicians in COVID-19 Omicron variant-induced laryngitis
We recently read, with great interest, a case report of subglottic laryngitis induced by coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Omicron variant by Kimura et al. published in Auris Nasus Larynx, from the perspective of a general internist, engaged in hospital and emergency medicine [1]. Since the Omicron variant, especially the BA.5 variant, has become prevalent in Japan, the number of cases presenting with severe pharyngalgia appears to be increasing, as described by the authors. In our hospital, we have encountered up to three similar cases of subglottic laryngitis in the past few weeks. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Self-assembling RADA16 peptide hydrogel supports hemostasis, synechiae reduction, and wound healing in a sheep model of endoscopic nasal surgery
Complications of endoscopic sinus/nasal turbinate surgery include postoperative hemorrhage, synechiae formation, and poor wound healing. Our primary objectives were to evaluate whether a topical hydrogel based on self-assembling RADA16 peptides: i) reduces bleeding and synechiae formation, and ii) supports wound healing, using a sheep nasal surgery model.

Adverse effect of the Epley maneuver: Anterior canal crisis
In the Epley maneuver performed on patients with posterior semicircular canal-benign paroxysmal positional vertigo-canalolithiasis (P-BPPV-Can), an intense downbeat nystagmus and retropulsion rarely appear as soon as they reach the last upright sitting position. It is considered an anterior canal crisis that appears when the otoliths move to the ampullofugal direction in the anterior semicircular canal by changing head and body positions from the healthy-ear-down 135 ° head position (the third head position) to the upright sitting position (the fourth head position).
