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 ...

HOXA2 haploinsufficiency in dominant bilateral microtia and hearing loss.

, 2013
Microtia is a rare, congenital malformation of the external ear that in some cases has a genetic etiology. We ascertained a three-generation family with bilateral microtia and hearing loss segregating as an autosomal dominant trait.
