Strain and Shear Wave Elastography in Thyroid Nodules: Tissue Stiffness as a Complementary Risk Marker for Differentiating Benign, Indeterminate, and Malignant Cytology

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography (SE) as complementary techniques to conventional B‐mode ultrasound for differentiating benign, indeterminate, and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional study included 208 thyroid nodules evaluated using B‐mode

Effects of Intubation Duration on Trachea: A Histopathological Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the histopathological effects of prolonged endotracheal intubation on the human trachea using biopsy specimens obtained during tracheotomy. Prolonged intubation was associated with progressive inflammatory and structural changes, with tracheal dilatation and perichondritis increasing significantly after 14 days.

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.

Multicenter Study Results on Expanded Indications in Med‐EL Pediatric Cochlear Implant Population

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To demonstrate safety and efficacy of MED‐EL cochlear implants (CIs) in children aged < 12 months and in children aged 12–71 months with residual hearing. Methods This was a multicenter, nonrandomized, single‐subject, repeated‐measures study with prospective (N = 38; 26 < 12 months of age) and retrospective (N = 209; 70 < 12 months ...

Machine Learning‐Based Risk Stratification Tool for Hearing Loss in High‐Risk Neonates

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Machine learning models, particularly XGBoost, provide robust risk stratification for neonatal hearing loss by capturing complex interactions among clinical risk factors such as NICU stay duration and family history. To translate these predictive capabilities into routine practice, an open‐access web‐based clinical decision support tool was developed ...

Complications of Cochlear Implant Surgery in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hearing loss disproportionately affects low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Recent advances in cochlear implant surgery have benefitted patients globally, but the risk of complications in LMICs may be heightened due to social and structural factors.

Scan for Success? Number Needed to Scan and Management Changes in Preoperative Otosclerosis: Quantitative Analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To quantify the cumulative number of images needed to scan (NNS) with preoperative high‐resolution temporal bone computed tomography (HR‐TBCT) to yield a change in management in patients undergoing primary stapes surgery for otosclerosis‐related hearing loss. Study Design Retrospective cohort.
