Disparities in AI‐Based Prior Authorization for Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Large Language Model Analysis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Large language models (LLM) are being rapidly integrated into healthcare, particularly to streamline time‐ and labor‐intensive administrative processes. However, the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to demonstrate bias when employed for insurance authorization remains poorly understood.

Assessing the ability of large language models to summarize and generate maxillofacial prosthetic treatment options

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim was to evaluate the ability of four large language models (LLMs) (OpenAI's ChatGPT‐3.5, Microsoft 365 Copilot, DeepSeek‐R1, and Google Gemini 2.5 Pro) to develop treatment options when presented with clinical cases published in the maxillofacial prosthodontics literature.

Naturalness Improvement Algorithm for Reconstructed Glossectomy Patient's Speech Using Spectral Differential Modification in Voice Conversion [PDF]

, 2018
In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the naturalness of the reconstructed glossectomy patient's speech that is generated by voice conversion to enhance the intelligibility of speech uttered by patients with a wide glossectomy. While existing

From Expectations to Experience: A Comparison of Program Director Priorities to Resident Case Logs

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 7, Page 2954-2962, July 2026.
The present study identified 47 essential otolaryngology procedures via program director surveys and evaluated the extent of resident participation in these cases through ACGME case logs. Results revealed significant variability in surgical experience, with nearly half of these essential procedures being logged fewer than 10 times during residency ...

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle
