Cost‐Utility Analysis of Intracapsular and Extracapsular Techniques for Pediatric Tonsillectomy
Intracapsular coblation tonsillectomy (ICT) is more cost‐effective than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) in pediatric patients, particularly for ambulatory procedures. In a prospective cohort of over 5000 cases, ICT was associated with lower costs and comparable or better quality‐adjusted life years, even when accounting for potential revision ...

Adenotonsillar Microbiome Shifts in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
This study compares the microbiomes of adenoids and tonsils in pediatric OSAS patients and healthy controls using 16S rRNA sequencing. Significant differences were found in the tonsillar microbiome of OSAS patients, with lower alpha diversity and an overrepresentation of pathogenic genera like Haemophilus and Neisseria, while adenoid microbiomes showed

Is Ankyloglossia Correlated With Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing? A Systematic Review
An increasing breadth of conditions and symptoms are being ascribed to ankyloglossia. As diagnosis of ankyloglossia and frequency of frenotomy exponential increase, it is important to have an understanding of the associated evidence. This systematic review summarizes the evidence for ankyloglossia's association with sleep disordered breathing in ...

A Novel Murine Model of Acute Laryngeal Injury After Intubation
This study describes a novel murine model of acute laryngeal injury (ALgI) after intubation. Chemomechanical injury was performed to the posterior glottis of adult mice using a bleomycin‐dipped wire brush under endoscopic guidance, resulting in reduced glottic mobility, increased posterior glottic thickness, and increased collagen expression. This safe,
