Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.

Maxillomandibular Advancement Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Age and Gender
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 36 studies (608 patients) found that maxillomandibular advancement significantly improves polysomnographic, cephalometric, and subjective measures of obstructive sleep apnea across both sexes and throughout the lifespan. Odds of surgical cure decline roughly 3% per year of age.

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Effect of Notch1 on Vocal Fold Re‐Epithelization After Acute Injury
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Conditional deletion of Notch1 in Lrig1‐expressing vocal fold epithelial cells impaired re‐epithelialization following naphthalene injury, resulting in sustained basal cell proliferation, abnormal epithelial differentiation, and prolonged inflammatory cell infiltration.

Vocal Fold Atrophy in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This is the first study to quantify vocal fold atrophy in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) using endoscopic imaging. Compared with age‐matched controls, AD/ADRD patients showed significantly greater vocal fold bowing and reduced mucosal wave amplitude, while normalized glottal gap area did not differ.
