Low Evidence for Tinnitus Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
ConclusionsThese systematic review and meta-analysis confirm a number of otological and non-otological risk factors for tinnitus. By highlighting major gaps in knowledge, our synthesis can help provide direction for future research that will shed light on the pathophysiology, improve management strategies, and inform more effective preventions.

Soluble P-selectin levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThe pooled results reveal that OSA patients have higher sP-selectin levels than non-OSA controls. This conclusion remains unaltered in all subgroups other than the subgroup of mild OSA patients. Additional studies are warranted to better identify the role of sP-selectin as a potential biomarker in OSA patients.

Functional Rhinoplasty and Uvuloplasty for Sleep-Disordered Breathing: A Step-by-Step Guide
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) represents a wide range of sleep-related breathing abnormalities including snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, respiratory event –related arousal, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.1 It has been established in the literature that SDB is associated with hypertension, stroke, hyperlipidemia, cardiac dysrhythmias, and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).1,2 The therapeutic resolution of these m edical maladies has proven nonlinear and less than optimal by most treatment approaches for OSA.

The basaloid variant of squamous cell carcinoma in an uncommon location
Microscopic aspects of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) are well defined, and its prevalence is rare in the mouth. Current research points to similarity of its course in relation to conventional squamous cell carcinoma; however, there is lack of information about its clinical behavior and prognosis. An 83-year-old male patient complained of a “lump inside the mouth,” noticed 4 months ago. Medical history revealed heart failure, systemic arterial hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, history of stroke, and smoking (2 packs a day) for 30 years, discontinued 20 years ago.

Discussion Related to “Maxillomandibular Advancement for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Associated with Very Long-Term Overall Sleep-Related Quality-of-Life Improvement.”
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disease resulting from repetitive collapse of the airway during sleep, causing hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. Untreated OSA at varying severity levels has been linked to hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, stroke, diabetes, decreased work performance, decreased quality of life (QOL), and increased all-cause mortality. It is a costly global health concern as the increasing prevalence of OSA parallels the rising rates of obesity. OSA affects approximately 22% of men and 17% of women, while severe OSA is present in 2-4% of the adult population1.

Commentary - “Maxillomandibular Advancement for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Associated with Very Long-Term Overall Sleep-Related Quality-of-Life Improvement”
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disease resulting from repetitive collapse of the airway during sleep, causing hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. Untreated OSA at varying severity levels has been linked to hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, stroke, diabetes mellitus, decreased work performance, decreased quality of life, and increased all-cause mortality. OSA is a costly global health concern because the increasing prevalence of OSA has paralleled the increasing rates of obesity.

Myiasis in oral cavity: a report of 2 cases
Myiasis is a disease caused by the invasion of tissues by the larvae of flies. Herein, we present 2 cases of this disease. Case 1: a 47-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, malnutrition, and mental disorders was hospitalized for sequelae of stroke. The intraoral examination revealed poor hygiene and the presence of an ulcerated lesion with a whitish border in the left upper lip mucosa showing larvae with wriggling movement. Case 2: an 11-year-old male patient diagnosed with cerebral palsy and West syndrome.

Perioperative Management For the Cocaine-Positive Patient Undergoing Elective Surgery Under General Anesthesia
Cocaine use in the United States is widespread and on the rise.1,2 Due to the increased prevalence of cocaine use, it is likely that the oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) will come across multiple instances of cocaine-positive patients presenting for elective surgery. Studies have already shown that many oral and maxillofacial surgery cases are cancelled due to the presence of cocaine metabolites in urine tests.1,3 Cocaine is a known risk factor for cardiovascular complications (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction, dysrhythmia, angina, hypertension, tachycardia, prolonged QT interval, coronary vasospasm, and aortic dissec...

A Study on Etiopathogenesis of Vocal Cord Paresis and Palsy in a Tertiary Centre
AbstractTo identify patients of vocal cord paresis and palsy and to establish an etiological diagnosis based on a study performed in a tertiary centre. Study was done prospectively in the Department of ENT in KIMS Hospital, Bangalore, for 1  year, from June 2016 to June 2017. 100 patients with vocal cord paresis and palsy were identified and examined by using various tests and investigations to establish the etiology. Most of the patients presented with complaints of change in voice (92%). Some of the other common presenting complaint s included noisy breathing and difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in voice production ...

Diagnosis and Treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Lower Lip: Case Report
A 67-year-old woman attended the stomatology clinic complaining of a wound on the lip, painful, with an evolution of 3 months. During this period, she was treated by a dermatologist for herpes simplex, but without resolution. Anamnesis indicated systemic arterial hypertension and previous stroke; she denied smoking or performing activities causing sun exposure. A physical examination revealed an exophytic ulcer on the lower lip with a crusted necrotic background, indurated rounded borders, soft base, 1.5  cm in size, and loss of the mucocutaneous line.

Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is Positively Associated with the Presence of Carotid Artery Atheromas
Hypoxemia and hypertension caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often results in atherosclerosis of the carotid and coronary vessels, and heightened risk of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, we sought to determine if severity of OSA, based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), is associated with the presence of calcified carotid artery (atherosclerotic) plaque (CCAP) seen on panoramic images (PIs).
