Comparison of immunological and molecular methods for laboratory diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis in blood, serum and tears in Brazil.

PLoS ONE
Ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) is caused by protozoan T. gondii. Ophthalmological examination is considered the gold standard for OT diagnosis, and laboratory tests are used for diagnostic confirmation.

Intensive Swallowing Rehabilitation for Head and Neck Cancer Survivors With Chronic Dysphagia: Outcomes From a Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study With 6‐Month Follow‐Up

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic dysphagia persists in some head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors despite preventive exercises, negatively impacting quality of life. Evidence for effective rehabilitation strategies remains limited. Methods This prospective cohort study included 34 HNC survivors (≥ 1 year post‐treatment) who completed a 3‐week intensive ...

Anatomical Variation of Absent Facial Vein: Implications for Facial Reanimation Surgery

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The facial vein is the standard recipient vessel in facial reanimation surgery. Its complete absence is rarely described but may cause major challenges during free functional muscle transfer (FFMT). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of facial vein absence and assess its surgical relevance in facial ...

Comparative Use of Double Bipolar Forceps Versus Ultrasound Energy Device in Transoral Robotic Thyroidectomy

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) offers excellent cosmetic outcomes and safe access to the central neck without a cervical incision. Traditionally, ultrasonic energy devices have been used for dissection and hemostasis, though these instruments are limited by unilateral use, bulkiness, and greater thermal spread.

Predominance of In‐Field Recurrence After Radiotherapy for Sinonasal Cancer: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sinonasal malignancies (SNM) are rare, heterogeneous tumors with poor prognosis. There is an unmet need to improve treatment outcomes. Despite advances in imaging and molecular classification, optimal curative radiotherapy (RT) strategies remain undefined.

Imaging of adult ocular neoplasms on a standard 1.5 Tesla MRI magnet: evaluation by improved diagnostic performance of “anatomical” images through feasible technical innovations, supplemented by quick “functional” data

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
Background Ocular neoplasms of adults have low prevalence and are usually diagnosed by different ophthalmological techniques, with or without contrast, and are targeted to small lesions.

Cigarette Smoke Exposure Attenuates T2R‐Mediated Apoptosis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tobacco use is associated with worse outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Bitter taste receptor (T2R) activation induces apoptosis via calcium‐dependent signaling, and higher T2R expression correlates with increased survival in HNSCC.

Deep Learning for Pretreatment Imaging‐Based Tumor and Nodal Classification in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Network Meta‐Analysis

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accurate pretreatment assessment of the extent of tumor invasion and status of cervical lymph node metastasis is essential for staging and treatment planning in HNSCC. Deep learning (DL) shows promise but is limited by methodological heterogeneity. Methods We conducted a systematic review and network meta‐analysis (PRISMA). Studies (
