Intraoperative pediatric acupuncture is widely accepted by parents
Medical acupuncture is increasingly recognized for reducing postoperative pain, nausea and emergence agitation. Anesthetic induction is an ideal time to perform acupuncture in an effort to reduce the adverse side effects of surgery. Acupuncture is safe, inexpensive and does not lengthen the duration of anesthesia. There are however no published reports of how often patients will choose intraoperative acupuncture when given the opportunity to do so.

Radiological differences between HIV-positive and HIV-negative children with cholesteatoma
HIV-positive children are possibly more prone to developing cholesteatoma. Chronic inflammation of the middle ear cleft may be more common in patients with HIV and this may predispose HIV-positive children to developing cholesteatoma. There are no studies that describe the radiological morphology of the middle ear cleft in HIV-positive compared to HIV-negative children with cholesteatoma.

Novel endoscopic suturing technique to mitigate risk of graft extrusion in endoscopic posterior cricoid split and costal cartilage grafting: A case report
Posterior cricoid split with costal cartilage grafting is a well-established technique for the management of subglottic stenosis (SGS), posterior glottic stenosis (PGS), and bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) in children [1 –3]. Though traditionally performed through an open transcervical approach, endoscopic posterior cricoid split with costal cartilage grafting (EPCSCG), a minimally invasive surgical option with low morbidity, has become increasingly common for posterior glottic and subglottic airway expansion in p ediatric patients.

Trends in management of obstructive sleep apnea in pediatric patients with Down syndrome
Residual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after adenotonsillectomy (T&A) is a common problem in children with Down Syndrome (DS). Our objective was to describe trends in surgical and medical management of OSA in pediatric patients with DS, and to present an algorithmic approach to managing these children.

Familial lower lip facial paralysis with asymmetric smile: Selective neurectomy of the cervical branch
Facial nerve paralysis in children is relatively rare and stems from a wide variety of entities. Congenital, acquired, iatrogenic, idiopathic etiologies all play a role, with Bell's palsy remaining the most common cause [1]. While there is significant literature on the most prevalent causes, familial facial nerve paralysis has only been sporadically described [1]. Prior studies have noted association with multiple facial nerve branches, specific alleles 3q21-22 and autosomal dominant transmission [2].

Utility of Concurrent Direct Laryngoscopy and Bronchoscopy with Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Pediatric Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this report was to find the frequency of synchronous airway lesions (SAL) identified during microdirect laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (MDLB) that influenced treatment decisions beyond the information provided by drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) alone in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) at a tertiary care pediatric hospital.
