Utility of Preoperative Cardiac Workup for Children With Very Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this retrospective study, we aimed to examine the prevalence and utility of obtaining a preoperative cardiac workup in children with very severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prior to adenotonsillectomy. Of 144 patients with very severe OSA, 38 patients (26.4%) underwent a preoperative cardiac workup, and three of those 38 had abnormal findings ...

Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...

Maxillomandibular Advancement Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Age and Gender

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 36 studies (608 patients) found that maxillomandibular advancement significantly improves polysomnographic, cephalometric, and subjective measures of obstructive sleep apnea across both sexes and throughout the lifespan. Odds of surgical cure decline roughly 3% per year of age.

Intraoperative Bradycardia: Evaluating Vasovagal Events in Adult Suspension Microlaryngeal Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective single‐surgeon cohort study of 190 adults undergoing suspension microlaryngoscopy found that 8.9% (17/190) developed significant intraoperative bradycardia consistent with a vasovagal response (VVR). No demographic, comorbidity, or procedural factors were significantly associated with VVR, though most affected patients required ...

Lumbosacral Plexopathy: A Single‐Center Review of Etiology, Clinical Presentation, Electrodiagnostic Findings, and Long‐Term Outcomes

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) results from a spectrum of etiologies and can cause substantial functional impairment. Limited data exist on the relative distribution of etiologies and outcomes across broad tertiary‐care cohorts spanning multiple causes of LSP.

Effectiveness and Safety of Setmelanotide in a Patient With a Heterozygous PCSK1 Deficiency

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide, a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is a promising pharmacological treatment option for people with rare monogenic obesity conditions affecting the leptin‐melanocortin signaling pathway, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene mutations.
