Risk Analysis Index Versus mFI‐5 for Predicting Outcomes After Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This retrospective database study of 2129 adults undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty compared the risk analysis index (RAI) with the modified 5‐item frailty index (mFI‐5) for predicting 30‐day postoperative outcomes and found that frailty was associated with worse morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, non‐home discharge, and mortality.

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Eustachian Tube Opening in Children With and Without Cleft Palate and Association With Otitis Media
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Using transnasal endoscopy in 50 children, structural abnormalities of the torus tubarius—particularly the posterior lip—were significantly more common in children with cleft palate than in those without (52% vs. 20%). Adenoid size, dynamic Eustachian tube opening visibility, and the Eustachian Tube Inflammation Scale correlated with middle ear status ...

Success of Anterior Ethmoidal Artery Flaps for Nasal Septal Perforation Repair: A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair using the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap is an emerging endoscopic technique with an overall closure success rate of 84.6%. The AEA flap is a reliable endoscopic technique for repairing NSPs < 2.5 cm. Emerging AEA flap modifications may further improve outcomes, while enabling repair of larger perforations ...

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 ...
