Relationship between idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and subsequent stroke
Conclusions:Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss did not increase stroke risk. The average annual stroke incidence rate after idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss was comparable with that in the general Taiwanese population. The study patients experienced stroke because they carried the risk factors for stroke. In patients with modified risk factors for stroke, efforts should be made to prevent stroke rather than idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Otitis Media Leads to Brain Abscess Presenting as Stroke
By Mikhail Elfond, DO; Esi Quayson, MD; & Joseph V.M. Kelly, MD, MBA   A 65-year-old man presented to the ED via EMS with symptoms of stroke. The paramedics stated his right-sided weakness and speech difficulty started 40 minutes prior to presentation in the ED. En route to the hospital, paramedics observed four episodes of facial twitching.     Vitals signs were significant for a rectal temperature of 100.2°F and a fingerstick blood sugar of 220 mg/dL. History of present illness was significant for a diagnosis of left otitis media treated with Augmentin and Vicodin at an urgent care center one day prior to prese...

Risks of radiation versus risks from injury: A clinical decision analysis for the management of penetrating palatal trauma in children
ConclusionsRoutine use of computed tomography with angiography for well‐appearing children with palatal trauma should be reconsidered, as the risk of radiation‐induced malignancy may outweigh the benefit of identifying the rare carotid injury. Level of Evidence2b. Laryngoscope, 2013

Isolated Myoclonus of the Vocal Folds
Conclusion: Isolated VFM is an unusual manifestation of pontine injury, resulting in a sudden, involuntary, and non-rhythmic vocal fold movement. This laryngeal pathology is not associated with either dyspnea or dysphonia and most likely not with inefficient swallowing.

Age Is a Greater Influence on Small Saccades Than Target Size in Normal Subjects on the Horizontal Video Head Impulse Test
Conclusion: While this study suggests that target size may have a statistically significant impact on the vHIT saccade profile of normal subjects, age has a greater influence on the incidence and size of small vHIT saccades. Introduction The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a quantitative adaptation of the clinical head impulse test (1), and enables functional assessment of the high-frequency angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in all three planes of head rotation (2, 3). Lightweight goggles worn by the subject detect head movement using an accelerometer and gyroscope, and a high frame rate video camera tracks eye...

The effect of fidelity: How expert behaviour changes in a virtual reality environment
Conclusion: Slight differences in drill interaction between a virtual environment and the real world can have measurable effects on surgical technique, particularly in terms of stroke length, duration, and curvature. It is important to understand these effects when designing and implementing surgical training programs based on VR simulation, and in improving the fidelity of VR simulators to facilitate use of similar technique in both real and simulated situations.

Sleep and health implications of snoring: A populational analysis
ConclusionsSelf‐reported snoring is associated with significant negative sleep pattern behaviors as well as coronary artery disease and depressive disorders. Further study of snoring as a risk factor for poor sleep and other diseases is warranted. Level of Evidence2c Laryngoscope, 2015

Blunt cerebrovascular injury following craniomaxillofacial fractures: A systematic review
ConclusionBlunt cerebrovascular injury is a rare but devastating complication of blunt trauma. The recommended screening modality is CTA, and the most common treatment is antiplatelet/anticoagulant medication. Mandibular and LeFort fractures were the most common isolated CMF injury associated with BCVI, highlighting the need for prospective trials to expand current screening criteria. Level of EvidenceN/A.

Indications and outcomes of endoscopic CO2 laser cricopharyngeal myotomy
ConclusionsEndoscopic CO2 laser CPM is a safe treatment for cricopharyngeal dysfunction of various causes, though swallowing outcomes may vary depending on the surgical indication. Early feeding postoperatively after CPM is safe and facilitates early hospital discharge. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2013

Microvascular free tissue reconstruction in the multiply irradiated patient
Conclusion: Microvascular free tissue transfer to the head and neck is expected to provide a successful reconstruction in patients who have received multiple courses of radiation who develop second primary tumors, recurrence of disease, or who suffer from late complications of their radiation therapy.

Intravenous mesenchymal stem cell therapy after recurrent laryngeal nerve injury: A preliminary study
ConclusionsThese pilot data indicate that with complete nerve transection by crush injury of the RLN in rat, there is complete recovery of vocal fold mobility at 2 weeks. At 1 week postinjury, animals receiving intravenous infusion of MSCs showed a trend for greater functional recovery, suggesting a potential beneficial effect of MSCs; however, this did not reach statistical significance. Therefore, no definite conclusions can be drawn from these data and further study is required. Level of EvidenceN/A. Laryngoscope, 2014
