Office‐Based Transoral Ultrasonography in the Diagnostic Workup of Oropharyngeal Cancer

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates how to perform and interpret transoral ultrasound of the palatine and lingual tonsils in patients with suspected oropharyngeal cancer. This technique offers a reliable adjunct to conventional assessment but requires substantial operator experience and patient cooperation.

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy Findings in Obese Adolescents With Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Data regarding drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) findings in obese adolescents with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are lacking; such information could be used to direct and improve management as there is controversy whether adenotonsillectomy (AT) or positive airway pressure is standard therapy for this population.

Rapid palatal expansion: the role of microcirculation

, 2015
Transverse palate modifications fall under expansive orthopedic therapy of the upper maxilla. The only practical approach to the problem on the transverse plane is that of performing the expansion of the maxillary arch through an opening of the median ...

Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Central Nervous System Abnormalities

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study demonstrates the central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities detected using fetal post‐mortem micro‐focus computed tomography (Micro‐CT), independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death.

Design and Development of a Modular Ballistic Pendulum for High‐Impulse Measurement in Contact and Near‐Field Explosive Loading

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...
