Trigeminal sensory recovery using processed nerve allografts for large continuity defects
The processed nerve allograft, Avance (AxoGen, Alachua, FL), has become a popular alternative to an autograft for the repair of nerve injuries, including the trigeminal nerve. Clinical outcome data on their safety and effectiveness in restoring sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is needed. Sensory assessments of trigeminal nerve injuries were conducted at pre-surgical, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgical reconstruction with Avance® Nerve Graft. Subjects with at least 6 months of follow-up were included in this analysis. Assessments included brush stroke directional sensation (BSDS), static 2-point discrimination (s2PD...

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.

Evaluation of Reconstructive Techniques for Anterior and Middle Skull Base Defects Following Tumor Ablation
Conclusions: Vascularized flaps provide reliable and durable reconstructive options for anterior and middle skull base defects after resection of large complex malignant neoplasms of the craniofacial region. Free flaps, such as RFFFs, ALTs, and TDAPs, are well suited for these defects. They have a low risk of complications and low donor-site morbidity and offer good functional and esthetic outcomes.

Genioglossus muscle advancement: A modification of the conventional technique
Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a pathophysiologic condition associated with fragmented sleep and arousals caused by nocturnal mechanical obstruction of the upper airway. This results in behavioural derangements, such as excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue, and pathophysiologic derangements that cause morbidities and mortality including hypertension, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, stroke and sudden death.The genioglossus advancement is a proven technique for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome by relieving airway obstruction at the hypopharyngeal level.In this...

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.

Gastroesophageal Reflux in Chronic Cough and Cough Syncope and the Effect of Antireflux Treatment: Case Report and Literature Review.
CONCLUSION: For chronic cough and cough syncope of unknown cause, the GER assessment could be valuable. In treating well-selected GER-related chronic cough and cough syncope, PPI, SRF, and LF can be considered. Moreover, satisfactory restoration of physical and social functions could be achieved after effective antireflux 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.

Management of airway compromise following thyroid cyst hemorrhage after thrombolytic therapy
We present a case of a 62‐year‐old female with undiagnosed thyroid goiter who received tPA for acute ischemic stroke and developed acute airway compromise. The surgical airway response team was called due to inability to ventilate or intubate. An incision into the mass during attempted tracheotomy released colloid and blood, decompressing the airway and facilitating ventilation and intubation. Hemithyroidectomy for mass removal was delayed for 3 days to allow normalization of post‐tPA coagulopathy. Laryngoscope, 2014

Dental implants in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis: a preliminary study
Abstract: The safety of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis (IE) has never been shown. The outcome of osseointegrated implants in patients with artificial heart valves or with a history of an infected valve is not known. In this article we describe our experience of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for IE. A retrospective study was conducted on patients at high risk for IE who underwent dental implant placement. All the patients received prophylactic antibiotic treatment before the surgical procedure, in accordance with the relevant American Heart Association guidel...
