Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease Presenting as Temporal Bone Lesion with Facial Nerve Palsy
We report a case of IgG4-RD with infiltration of the temporal bone and surrounding structures in a patient with systemic vasculitis on systemic steroids. A 31-year-old woman presented with right-sided facial weakness, headache, and right ear hearing loss. On examination, redness and retraction of the right tympanic membrane and facial paresis (House-Brackman IV) were noted. Computed tomography imaging showed mastoiditis, temporal lobe stroke, and brain abscess. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed infiltration in the infratemporal fossa, nasopharynx, spreading along the Eustachian tube and perineurally along the branche...

Lymph Node Tuberculosis in Otolaryngological Practice: A Study of 68 Cases at the Sour ô Sanou University Hospital of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
Conclusion: The frequency of 68 cases of LNTB in 3 years is underappreciated. Among all lymph node sites, transversal cervical chain and cervical spinal chain were mostly affected. Further advanced studies are recommended to determine the prevalence and contributing factors of LNTB in the study area.ORL (Source: ORL)

Cochlear Implantation in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 and an Intracochlear Schwannoma: A Case Report and Literature Review
We report a rare case of cochlear implantation (CI) in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 2 and an ICS. The patient exhibited bilateral, profound, sensorineural hearing loss. The tumor on one side was a common VS treated via tumor and acoustic nerve resection and that on the other side an ICS. To ensure auditory rehabilitation via CI, we performed CI while removing part of the ICS via an enlarged round window. Auditory rehabilitation was satisfactory. Thus, ICS patients, especially those who urgently require auditory rehabilitation, can undergo simultaneous CI and (total or partial) tumor removal. However, the long-term...

Nasal Mucociliary Clearance and Sinonasal Symptoms in Healthcare Professionals Wearing FFP3 Respirators: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: The present study shows that nasal mucosal functions might be affected significantly after 4 h of using FFP3 respirators. The long-term effects and clinical significance of these short-term changes should be investigated on healthcare professionals in further studies.ORL (Source: ORL)

Effect of Local Corticosteroid Administration on CD8 < sup > + < /sup > CD25 < sup > + < /sup > Foxp3 < sup > + < /sup > Tregs in Neutrophilic CRSwNP
Conclusion: The findings indicate that CD8+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs might regulate the neutrophilic inflammation, and budesonide nasal spray therapy could not ameliorate the inflammation in neutrophilic CRSwNPs.ORL (Source: ORL)

Impact of COVID-19-Mediated Olfactory Loss on Quality of Life
Conclusion: QoL appears to be impaired in patients with long-lasting COVID-19 olfactory disorders several months after overcoming acute symptoms, even if olfaction has normalized. However, the impairment is not more pronounced than in patients with other postviral olfactory disorders of the same duration.ORL (Source: ORL)

Effects of Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver in Total Laryngectomy Patients Based on Changes to Olfactory Test Results: A Retrospective Study
Conclusion: The results demonstrated that even in those who were not using NAIM and undergoing olfactory rehabilitation after laryngectomy (NAIM Start group), the subsequent daily use of NAIM and voluntary rehabilitation aided in the recovery of olfactory function to the same level as that in the already using NAIM group. SAOQ results were considered because of the experimenter effect and they appeared to be unrelated to use NAIM. This study showed that in total laryngectomy patients who did not receive olfactory rehabilitation, olfactory identification was reduced.ORL (Source: ORL)
