Awake Blue Light vs. KTP Laser Treatment for Vocal Fold Lesions: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In this pilot randomized controlled clinical trial, the BL laser demonstrated clinical efficacy comparable to the KTP laser for office‐based treatment of benign vocal fold lesions. Both laser modalities were associated with significant improvements in patient‐perceived voice handicap, minimal post‐procedural pain, and favorable stroboscopic outcomes ...

Thyroid Cartilage Reconstruction With Titanium Mesh in Advanced Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
We report the first case of titanium mesh reconstruction of the thyroid cartilage following resection of papillary thyroid carcinoma with preservation of the laryngeal mucosa. This technique provided excellent functional outcomes while maintaining oncologic resection in a patient with locally advanced disease.

Vocal Outcomes After Cell‐Based Outer Vocal Fold Implant in Porcine Bilateral Vocal Fold Resection
Cell‐based outer vocal fold replacement (COVR) was evaluated in a porcine model of bilateral vocal fold injury using longitudinal acoustic analysis and histologic assessment. COVR implantation resulted in recovery of the nonperiodic acoustic parameter Q50 to preoperative levels by 6 months, with implanted human adipose‐derived stem cells detected in 7 ...

Effects of Intubation Duration on Trachea: A Histopathological Study
This study evaluated the histopathological effects of prolonged endotracheal intubation on the human trachea using biopsy specimens obtained during tracheotomy. Prolonged intubation was associated with progressive inflammatory and structural changes, with tracheal dilatation and perichondritis increasing significantly after 14 days.

Cancer Trends: HPV-associated cancers
Chronic infection with oncogenic (tumour-causing) strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) is now well-established as an important risk factor for anogenital (cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal/rectal) and head and neck (specifically oropharyngeal ...

Vocal Fold Atrophy in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
This is the first study to quantify vocal fold atrophy in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) using endoscopic imaging. Compared with age‐matched controls, AD/ADRD patients showed significantly greater vocal fold bowing and reduced mucosal wave amplitude, while normalized glottal gap area did not differ.

A Scoping Review of Laryngeal Edema Rating Scales for Extubated Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors
This scoping review identified existing laryngeal edema rating scales and evaluated whether any are adequately designed for post‐extubation acute respiratory failure (ARF) survivors. Across 35 included studies, most used subjective binary classifications and only the RTOG and Patterson Edema scales had operational definitions and reliability/validity ...

Depth of Invasion Predicts Vocal Fold Motility and Muscle Invasion in Glottic Carcinoma
To determine whether depth of invasion (DOI) provides an objective surrogate for vocal fold motility and vocal muscle invasion in glottic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods and Results: In derivation and external validation cohorts, radiologic DOI strongly correlated with pathologic DOI and accurately predicted altered vocal fold motility and muscle ...

Effects of NDURE on Timely Adjuvant Radiotherapy in HNSCC: Subgroup Analysis of an RCT
In this subgroup analysis of a randomized clinical trial of 145 patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the enhanced navigation‐based intervention NDURE improved initiation of timely postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) relative to usual care across nearly all demographic and clinical subgroups, including patients with ...
