Significance of Cytokeratin-1 Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism and Protein Level in Susceptibility to Vocal Leukoplakia and Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the CK-1 SNP and high protein expression levels are associated with vocal leukoplakia and LSCC and promote the transformation from vocal leukoplakia to LSCC in a Chinese Han population.ORL (Source: ORL)

Anatomical Variations of the Superficial Radial Nerve Encountered during Radial Forearm Free Flap Elevation
We present a case where the superficial branch of the radial nerve was in an usual position but remained superficial to the brachioradialis throughout its course. Two previous reports also describe the superficial branch of the radial nerve remaining superficial to the brachioradialis, although, in these reports, the nerve was more medial than is typical. We postulate that one of the most common anatomic variations of the superficial branch of the radial nerve is for it to remain superficial to the brachioradialis. As this variation could potentially be confused with the medial or lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerves, it ...

Expression of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Related mRNAs in Chronic Otitis Media
Conclusions: sXBP1 appears to be involved in chronic otitis media-associated inflammation, including otorrhea. ATF6 is associated with the destruction of ossicles. Our results suggest that certain ER stress-related genes are expressed in chronic otitis media-associated inflammation.ORL (Source: ORL)

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Parotid: Very Close Margins and Adjuvant Radiotherapy
Conclusions: Patients with negative but close ( ≤2 mm) surgical margins without other high-risk histopathological factors have excellent long-term locoregional control with surgery alone. The effects of adjuvant radiotherapy for those who have intermediate-grade disease remain uncertain.ORL 2019;81:55 –61 (Source: ORL)

Electro-Natural Stimulation in Partial Deafness Treatment of Adult Cochlear Implant Users: Long-Term Hearing Preservation Results
Conclusions: The use of minimally invasive surgery leads to excellent HP results in PDT-ENS patients, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of good speech discrimination which they would be unable to get from traditional hearing aids. Our findings support extending the inclusion criteria for CI to include this new group of patients who would otherwise obtain only limited benefit from conventional hearing aids.ORL (Source: ORL)

Nonpharmacological Relaxation Technology for Office-Based Rhinologic Procedures
Conclusions: A variety of office-based rhinologic procedures are technically feasible and can be performed with adequate patient comfort without the use of oral drugs. Adjuncts to pharmacologic agents may enhance pain control and anxiety management and improve patient tolerance of these procedures.ORL 2019;81:48 –54 (Source: ORL)

The Rationale for Endoscopic Inferior Meatal Antrostomy
Conclusion: EIMA should be considered for various maxillary sinus pathologies. It provides better access to anteroinferior lesions of the maxillary sinus. EMMA is not mandatory for every maxillary sinus disease.ORL 2019;81:41 –47 (Source: ORL)

Buccal Fat Pad: Report of 24 Cases and Literature Review of 1,635 Cases of Oral Defect Reconstruction
Conclusion: The BFP is worthy of consideration for the reconstruction of selected mouth defects, due to its easy mobilization, excellent blood supply, and minimal donor-site morbidity, where shape and size represent its main limitations, and a defect ’s location influences its pliability.ORL 2019;81:24 –35 (Source: ORL)

Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for Bilateral Eagle Syndrome
Eagle syndrome is a rare and poorly understood clinical condition caused by an elongated or disfigured styloid process. The possible managements of Eagle syndrome include conservative medical treatment or surgical intervention. The surgical removal of the elongated styloid process may be efficiently achieved either by an intraoral or a transcervical approach. An effective styloidectomy may be either total or partial, provided the bony residue ’s length is within the range of normality. Here, we report our experience with a bilateral robotic-assisted styloidectomy in a young female patient. Our experience showed that this...
