Diagnosing Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Excised Tissue Using Optical Coherence Tomography

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) can quantify eosinophils in excised sinonasal tissue and diagnose eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP). Counts of globules resembling eosinophils on OCT images strongly correlated with eosinophils per HPF on histology, with a cutoff of 45 globules on OCT imaging ...

Automated Creak Identifies Laryngeal Dystonia During Conversational Speech

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated whether automated creak distinguished speakers with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD), muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), and those without voice disorders during conversational speech. Automated creak estimates were able to differentiate speakers with AdLD from MTD and controls with similar performance across different types of ...
