Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Extracranial Component of the Hypoglossal Nerve (CNXII)

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The hypoglossal nerve (HN) provides motor innervation to tongue muscles responsible for tongue movement, speech, mastication, swallowing, respiratory functions and management of oral secretions. The intracranial component of the HN can be demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and the extracranial component can be demonstrated with sonographic ...

Why USB-endoscope laryngoscopy is as effective as video laryngoscopy

Clinical and Investigative Medicine, 2020
Purpose To compare the efficacy of a low-cost custom-made universal serial bus (USB) endoscope laryngoscope for intubation with a direct laryngoscope and a high-cost video laryngoscope in a mannequin study. Methods We used one intubation simulator model (mannequin) in our study.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Radiofrequency Ablation for Benign Thyroid Nodules of Different Sizes: Implications of Regrowth and New Growth

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for benign thyroid nodules. Since initial nodule volume may impact the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation, this study evaluated its long‐term outcomes across varying nodule sizes, focusing on regrowth, new growth, and clinical management implications.

Endoscopic Management of a Hypopharyngeal‐Subglottic Fistula: Case Series and Literature Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A rare complication of prolonged intubation or laryngeal radiation is destruction of the posterior cricoid cartilage with resultant hypopharyngeal‐subglottic fistula leading to aspiration and inability to consume a regular diet. We describe a step‐by‐step endoscopic approach to the closure of a hypopharyngeal‐subglottic fistula.
