Factors Affecting Outcomes in Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery
This retrospective cohort study examined perioperative complications after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) in 3401 patients treated at a tertiary academic institution. Otolaryngologist co‐surgeons in revision and upper cervical spine (C1‐4) cases, and high‐volume spine surgeons (≥ 15 annual cases) were associated with lower complication rates ...

Choice and Death: Analysis of Medical Assistance in Dying for Head and Neck Cancer in Ontario
The uptake of MAiD for head and neck cancer (HNC) has been steadily increasing since 2016, when MAiD first became available in Canada. Our study projects a substantial increase in the future use of MAiD for patients with HNC. As such, our health system needs to re‐evaluate and implement the necessary infrastructure to support the projected increase in ...

Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes on Lung Inflammation in a Murine Aspiration Model
This study assessed the effect of intravenous MSC‐derived exosomes on inflammatory lung injury in a rat model of LPS aspiration. Compared with LPS alone, MSC exosome treatment reduced histologic lung injury overall (significant group effect p = 0.02; linear trend p = 0.006) and significantly lowered Tnf gene expression on qRT‐PCR (p < 0.05).
