Postoperative Fluoroscopic Appearance After Flexible Endoscopic Zenker's Diverticulotomy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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

Penetrating Laryngeal Trauma: Management of Severe Injuries Without Open Reduction Internal Fixation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Thyroid and cricoid cartilage fractures that are displaced or have multiple fracture lines are traditionally managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In practice, patients with penetrating laryngeal trauma may have small fragments of cartilage that are difficult to reduce and fixate.

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.

Evaluation of Aerosol‐Laden Plumes Generated by Jet Ventilation Using Background Oriented Schlieren

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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.

Breaking Boundaries: Chronic Diseases and the Frontiers of Immune Microenvironments

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The immune microenvironment includes immune cells, cytokines, extracellular matrix, vesicles, etc. The interactions between these components form a unique local immune microecology. Although immunity serves as the defense against external pathogens, aberrant immune activation often contributes to disease development.

Identification and Biological Characterization of a Novel NRF2 Activator Molecule Released From the Membranes of Heat‐Treated Bifidobacterium breve NCC 2950

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
We have shed light on the mode of action behind the postbiotic form of Bifidobacterium breve NCC 2950. Heat treatment of this strain at 90°C leads to the production of 4‐oxo‐2‐pentenoic acid (OPA), which activates NRF2 host response, improving oxidative stress resistance and decreasing inflammation. ABSTRACT Postbiotics are defined as a “preparation of

Protective Properties of the White Button Mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, in a Mouse Model of Colitis

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
In this study, whole mushroom powder (WMP) from white button mushrooms was tested for gut health benefits. In vitro digested WMP (IVD‐WMP) could reduce the permeability of a gastrointestinal cell layer. In mouse studies, WMP was tested as a preventative and a treatment for dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis. WMP could improve recovery, reduce

Improved Pharyngeal Contraction and Oral Intake Status After Modified Central‐Part Laryngectomy for Late‐Stage ALS

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of modified central‐part laryngectomy with pharyngeal space reduction (CPL‐PR) on patients with weak deglutitive pharyngeal contraction, as seen in late‐stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Study Design Retrospective case series. Setting Single‐institution academic center.

Altered Bacteria Abundance Is Associated With Outcomes in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine if microbiome differences exist in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) based on high‐risk pathologic features, smoking, and outcomes using The Cancer Microbiome Atlas (TCMA). Study Design Database study. Setting Database review.
