Identifying Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
We evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment patterns of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) following head and neck cancer therapy across three academic institutions. VPD demonstrated a highly variable and delayed onset, with radiation‐associated cases developing after a mean of 8.5 years and many patients presenting more than 10 years after ...

Evaluating the Local Response of a Novel Injectable Capsule for Drug Delivery in the Trachea
A novel PLGA polymer capsule was developed for localized pretracheal drug delivery and evaluated for short‐term local tissue safety in a rabbit model. Implant placement was confirmed by ultrasound and was well tolerated over 14 days, with preservation of airway patency, native tracheal architecture, and biomechanical properties.

Comparison of Video Laryngoscopy and Direct Laryngoscopy during Endotracheal Intubation: A Randomised Controlled TrialComparison of Video Laryngoscopy and Direct Laryngoscopy during Endotracheal Intubation: A Randomised Controlled Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Intubating the trachea and securing the airway always remains an unavoidable challenge for the anaesthesiologist. For Direct Laryngoscopy (DL) and tracheal intubation, the Macintosh laryngoscope has been the gold standard device.

Differentiating Persistent and Recurrent Dysphagia in Zenker Diverticulum: A POuCH Study
In longitudinal follow up of 160 patients who underwent surgery for Zenker's diverticulum, 29 patients did not respond (< 50% improvement in EAT‐10 and final EAT‐10 greater than 3). Two cohorts of patients emerged: the majority (23/29), who had persistent symptoms after surgery and never improved to a new baseline, and a smaller cohort (6/29) who had ...

Therapeutic JAK Inhibition in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
Three patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis and rheumatoid arthritis began JAK inhibitor therapy, after which the mean surgical‐free interval between endoscopic dilations rose from 317 to 631 days and the annualized dilation rate fell from 1.24 to 0.38 per patient‐year. Figure 2 shows this as a per‐patient timeline.
