Vocal Fold Scar Treatment via Controlled Dexamethasone Delivery With a Light‐Activatable Implant
A light‐activatable dexamethasone implant was employed for the treatment of vocal fold (VF) scarring in a rabbit model. The implant enables controlled, repeatable drug release via near‐infrared laser irradiation, improving biomechanics, vibratory function, and histological architecture at the injury site.

The Impact of Estrogen on Stromal Elements in the Proximal Airway in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
ABSTRACT Objectives Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is an unexplained fibrosis of the proximal airway that predominantly impacts Caucasian women. Clinically, premenopausal patients suffer from higher recurrence rates, potentially implicating ovarian hormone 17B‐estradiol (E2) in disease pathogenesis.

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...
