ALT Rescue Flap With Iliac Crest Bone Graft and Spanning Plate for Mandibular ORN
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In select patients with focal full‐thickness mandibular ORN defects, the use of ALTFL in conjunction with ICBG and a spanning reconstructive plate appears to offer clinical and radiographic arrest of ORN. This technique has considerably lower morbidity than osteocutaneous reconstruction, with abbreviated hospital stays, a low complication rate, and no ...

Time‐Continuous Prognostic Mapping of Bell's Palsy Using Yanagihara Scores and Electroneurography
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study developed a novel, time‐continuous prognostic mapping for Bell's palsy by integrating longitudinal Yanagihara scores and electroneurography in patients treated with high‐dose corticosteroids. By employing a Bayesian probabilistic approach, this model enables individualized recovery estimation at any clinical time point, overcoming the ...
