Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Diagnostic Delay of Unilateral Facial Paralysis Caused by Occult Malignancy: A Scoping Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This scoping review of 27 studies (66 patients) characterizes unilateral facial paralysis caused by occult malignancy, a rare entity marked by a mean diagnostic delay of 21 months and initially negative imaging in 89% of cases. Progressive paralysis, lack of recovery, trigeminal or additional cranial nerve involvement, and a history of regional skin ...

Identifying Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment patterns of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) following head and neck cancer therapy across three academic institutions. VPD demonstrated a highly variable and delayed onset, with radiation‐associated cases developing after a mean of 8.5 years and many patients presenting more than 10 years after ...

Evaluating the Local Response of a Novel Injectable Capsule for Drug Delivery in the Trachea
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.A novel PLGA polymer capsule was developed for localized pretracheal drug delivery and evaluated for short‐term local tissue safety in a rabbit model. Implant placement was confirmed by ultrasound and was well tolerated over 14 days, with preservation of airway patency, native tracheal architecture, and biomechanical properties.
