Eustachian Tube Opening in Children With and Without Cleft Palate and Association With Otitis Media
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Using transnasal endoscopy in 50 children, structural abnormalities of the torus tubarius—particularly the posterior lip—were significantly more common in children with cleft palate than in those without (52% vs. 20%). Adenoid size, dynamic Eustachian tube opening visibility, and the Eustachian Tube Inflammation Scale correlated with middle ear status ...

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.
