Efficacy of CPAP Therapy on Liver Steatosis and Insulin Resistance in Fatty Liver Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A 4‐Year Follow‐Up Cohort Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are comorbid conditions that synergistically increase cardiovascular risk through systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for OSA, its efficacy in improving hepatic ...

Mechanism of RNA‐Binding Protein ELAVL1 in Promoting Th2 Cell Differentiation Through Stabilizing CPA3 mRNA in Allergic Rhinitis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to elucidate the role of the RNA‐binding protein embryonic lethality abnormal vision‐like protein 1 (ELAVL1) in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis (AR), specifically by investigating its potential to promote T helper 2 (Th2) cell differentiation by regulating the stability of carboxypeptidase A3 (CPA3) mRNA.

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.

Superior Labial Artery Flap for Septal Perforation Repair: The Boxer's Flap

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The nasal floor flap, or Boxer's flap, is an anteriorly pedicled, superior labial artery–based mucosal flap that provides excellent closure rates in septal perforation repair when traditional septal flaps are not feasible. The schematic shows: (A) preoperative perforation, (B) nasal floor flap elevation (with the pedicle maintained at the inferior ...

Pregabalin Efficacy in Treatment of Chronic Neurogenic Cough

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The use of neuromodulators for chronic cough has increased; however, the choice of medication, dosing regimen, and duration are still unclear. This longitudinal study of 95 adults taking pregabalin, 75 mg twice daily, for CNC demonstrated 78% improvement or resolution of cough, 17% unchanged, 1% worse cough, with a mean of 6 weeks of therapy, and only ...

Laryngeal Cryotherapy for Neurogenic Cough: Safety, Feasibility, and Prospective Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A prospective clinical trial investigated the safety and clinical outcomes of office‐based selective laryngeal cryotherapy for patients with refractory chronic cough. Patient were followed for 6 months posttreatment and had durable improvement in cough severity index and urge‐to‐cough scores and no serious long term adverse effects.

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.

MEK Inhibitor Associated Airway Injury in an Infant With Noonan Syndrome: A Case Report

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
An infant with Noonan syndrome treated with trametinib developed extensive mucosal sloughing of the upper and lower airway, followed by severe supraglottic scarring. Clinicians should consider airway toxicity as a potential adverse effect of MEK inhibitor therapy.
