Quantifying the Pressure of Labial and Buccinator Regions Pre‐ and Post‐ Facial Nerve Reanimation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Flaccid facial nerve paralysis (FFNP) impairs oral function and quality of life. Tensor fascia lata slings (TFL) are used to improve oral competence. This study used the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) to measure oral competence in patients with FFNP undergoing facial reanimation.

How Would You Treat? A Case‐Vignette Study of Provider Treatment Preferences in Human Papillomavirus‐Mediated Oropharyngeal Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Current guidelines recommend surgical resection, definitive radiotherapy (RT), or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). This study aimed to provide insight into practice patterns of providers who treat HPV‐associated OPSCC.

A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Eyetronix Flicker Glass and Patching for Treatment of Amblyopia in Children Reveals Similar Improvements in Vision

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
PurposeRecently, Eyetronix Flicker Glass (EFG) has been introduced as a novel treatment for amblyopia. It alternatively deprives the visual input of each eye rapidly (e.g., 7 Hz).

Deceptive Thyroid Pathologies: Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Mimics and Clinical Implications

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Beyond follicular‐derived thyroid carcinomas, lymphomas, and metastatic disease, there are rare pathologies of the thyroid gland that represent a challenge. We report patients with unusual malignancies that mimic similar aggressive cancers. Methods Retrospective case series.

Hyperosmolarity-induced AQP5 upregulation promotes inflammation and cell death via JNK1/2 Activation in human corneal epithelial cells

Scientific Reports, 2017
Tear film hyperosmolarity and anterior ocular inflammation are two clinical signs that may be indicative of dry eye disease (DED). This condition can cause pathological and functional changes to the anterior ocular surface tissues.
