Prevalence of Esophageal Webs in Patients Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy
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.

Postoperative Fluoroscopic Appearance After Flexible Endoscopic Zenker's Diverticulotomy
We perform a retrospective study on patients undergoing flexible Zenker's diverticulotomy surgery and report changes in the objective fluoroscopic appearance as well as patient‐reported outcome measures. ABSTRACT Objective Flexible approach to treating Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) has gained traction in recent years. However, objective measures comparing

HPV6‐Induced Gene Expression Signature in Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Using the conditional reprogramming method, we established a cell culture model of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and analyzed gene expression. Genes related to human papillomavirus 6 expression were identified, including inflammatory genes (e.g., CTSS, CFB), oncogenic genes (e.g., CEACAM5, CEACAM6), and glycosylation‐associated genes (e.g ...

Evaluation of Aerosol‐Laden Plumes Generated by Jet Ventilation Using Background Oriented Schlieren
A manikin study was conducted to evaluate the risk to healthcare providers during jet ventilation, an aerosol‐generating procedure. Background oriented schlieren and an optical particle sizer were used to characterize the aerosol content in exhaled plumes.

Toll Like Receptors in the Larynx: Implications for Laryngeal Immunology
TLR were identified in the murine and human vocal fold epithelium with slight differences in localization from true to false vocal folds in humans. In immortalized human vocal, fold epithelial cell cultures, no significant differences in relative gene expression at 24 h were observed – for TLRs 1‐9 and IL8 – with and without LPS stimulation.
