The Prevalence and Association of Biofilms With Otitis Media With Effusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: The data presented in this study coincide with the significant role of bacterial biofilms in the pathogenesis of chronic otitis media with effusion. The involvement of bacterial biofilm as a component of the OME pathogenic process can help us to explain why antimicrobial therapy is not always effective in the eradication of the disease process and, also explain the recurrence of middle ear effusion after treatment with tympanostomy tubes either with or without adenoidectomy.PMID:37553806 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231188855 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Use of the G8 Geriatric Screening Tool in Surgical Head and Neck Cancer Patients Requiring Rehabilitation: A Multisite Investigation
CONCLUSIONS: The G8 may be a useful screening tool for identifying older adults at risk of a protracted postoperative medical course after HNC surgery. Future research should aim to identify the optimal screening protocol and how this information can be incorporated into clinical pathways to enhance the post-operative outcomes of older HNC patients.PMID:37551009 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231191869 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

A New Approach for Diagnosis and Surveillance of Infantile Subglottic Hemangioma in the Era of Propranolol Use: A Case Series
CONCLUSION: Our findings showed that in select patients, FFL with video technology can successfully identify SGH lesions without general anesthesia exposure. FFL may be used as a low-risk screening tool for propranolol therapy initiation in some patients, but operative endoscopy should remain the gold standard procedure for others. By utilizing FFL in this manner, it is possible to diagnose SGH lesions and start propranolol therapy without exposing all patients to the risks of operative endoscopy.PMID:37551026 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231191831 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

How Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing Impacts Parental Fatigue
CONCLUSION: Parents of children with OSA-18 score ≥60 are significantly more fatigued than parents of children with lower scores. Recognition of this is important for the health care community as it impacts not just the child with OSA but also their family.PMID:37551041 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231191824 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Clinical Profiles of Children and Adolescents With Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (ILO) and Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with EILO, ILO, and EILO+ present with overlapping but unique clinical profiles. A prospective study is warranted to determine the etiology of these differences and clarify how the efficacy of EILO, ILO, and EILO+ treatment can be maximized.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.PMID:37534611 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231190842 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)
