Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and quality of life: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionPatients with PPPD have a higher burden of dizziness and a lower physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to other dizzy patients. The difference was evident also after adjusting for anxiety and depression, illustrating how PPPD is a different entity than these common psychiatric conditions.

T-tube implantation combined with cricoid cartilage reconstruction in the treatment of congenital laryngeal webs with subglottic stenosis
ConclusionsChildren who have congenital laryngeal webs with subglottic stenosis required early tracheotomy. Open laryngoplasty combined with T-tube implantation and cricoid cartilage reconstruction may play a crucial role in the treatment of these children.

Transoral removal of submandibular hilar lithiasis: results on the salivary duct system, glandular parenchyma, and quality-of-life recovery
ConclusionsTOSL is the ideal surgical technique for the management of SHL, resulting in improved parenchymal inflammatory changes, recanalization of Wharton ’s duct, and enhancement patients’ QoL. As a result, before removing the submandibular gland, TOSL should be considered as the first treatment option for SHL. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

The effects of endoscope placement in the hypopharynx on swallowing-related measures in healthy adults
ConclusionsVisualization of swallowing during FEES is an important method for objectively evaluating several anatomical and functional parameters of the pharynx and larynx. Insertion of the endoscope into the hypopharynx during FEES may stimulate salivary secretion and improve ME, which could influence interpretation of FEES and resulting clinical recommendations.

PROPELLER diffusion weighted imaging for diagnosis of cholesteatoma in comparison with surgical and histopathological results: emphasis on false positivity and false negativity
ConclusionNon-echo planar DWI using PROPELLER sequence has high accuracy, sensitivity and positive predictive value and can be used for the detection of cholesteatoma. The external auditory canal, postoperative ears and small lesions should be evaluated with caution to avoid false results. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

Assessment of the ability of the radiological incudo-stapedial angle to predict the stapedotomy technique type: a prospective case-series study
ConclusionsThis prospective study proposed a preoperative radiological classification of the incudo-stapedial angle. This classification was significantly correlated with the type of stapedotomy technique. The RSS technique was feasible in most cases with an obtuse and right radiological incudo-stapedial angle. In contrast, the non-reversal method was used in all patients with an acute radiological incudo-stapedial angle. This radiological classification could predict the choice for the stapedotomy technique with an accuracy of 95.18%, a sensitivity of 73.33%, and a specificity of 100%.

Digital teaching and assessment of psychomotor skills of the clinical head and neck examination during COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionDigital teaching and assessing of a complex psychomotor skill is possible. Interactive teaching methods increase learning success. Nevertheless, presence teaching seems to be better at teaching these skills. The results can provide a basis for developing hybrid teaching models.
