Intranasal pH and Olfactory Function Among Healthy Adults

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this cross‐sectional study of 62 adults, olfactory cleft (OC) pH was lower than that over the respiratory mucosa (RM), with repeated testing resulting in more alkaline pH and olfactory testing having no effect. OC pH, but not RM pH, was negatively correlated with odor identification scores and predicted 18% of the variance in these scores.

Pill Shape Determines Esophageal Transit Times—A Pill‐to‐Pill Study

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Shape of pills differ, affecting how easy it is to swallow them. We compared esophageal transit times of a round pill with an oval pill demonstrating in both healthy and symptomatic adults, that the oval pill demonstrated a significantly shorter transit time.

Prevalence of Esophageal Webs in Patients Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
PES webs may be more common than what is traditionally cited in the literature. The prevalence of PES webs in this retrospective cohort study was found to be 34%. Webs may be more likely in patients with a history of irradiation to the head and neck, and only one‐third of patients with a PES web in our cohort had dysphagia symptoms.

Alveolar Extracellular Vesicles May Protect Some Patients With Chronic Aspiration From Pneumonia

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A subset of patients with chronic aspiration appear to be relatively protected against pneumonias. This prospective observational study examines the alveolar fluid of patients with chronic aspiration with and without pneumonia. We found relatively little difference in classical cytokine levels but a difference in both the level and protein composition ...

Compact Spectral Imaging: A Review of Miniaturized and Integrated Systems

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This review explores the rapid shift toward compact spectral imaging systems by examining four key design paradigms: Do‐It‐Yourself (DIY) platforms, freeform optics, filter‐on‐chip integration, and multifunctional metasurfaces. The discussion highlights critical applications in medicine, agriculture, and environmental monitoring, providing comparative ...
