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.

Management of Absent Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening After Neurological Injury

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the effects of swallowing therapy and cricopharyngeus (CP) muscle surgery on upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening, oral intake, and airway protection in patients with absent UES opening following neurological injury. CP‐targeted surgeries were associated with improved bolus passage and oral intake, but persistent aspiration ...

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 ...

Superior Labial Artery Flap for Septal Perforation Repair: The Boxer's Flap

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The nasal floor flap, or Boxer's flap, is an anteriorly pedicled, superior labial artery–based mucosal flap that provides excellent closure rates in septal perforation repair when traditional septal flaps are not feasible. The schematic shows: (A) preoperative perforation, (B) nasal floor flap elevation (with the pedicle maintained at the inferior ...

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 ...

Taste Dysfunction and Bell's Palsy: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Taste dysfunction is a well‐recognized but inconsistently reported symptom in Bell's palsy. This scoping review found that taste dysfunction is prevalent in these patients, often precedes facial weakness, and commonly improves within 6 months. Standardized, longitudinal studies employing validated psychophysical measures are needed to clarify the ...

Voice and Speech in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Background Motor speech disorders are early, common, and functionally limiting features of atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These impairments are underrecognized and undertreated in neurology clinics.

Longitudinal Videofluorographic Dysphagia Measures in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dysphagia can lead to fatal aspiration pneumonia in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Little is known about the longitudinal progression of dysphagia or whether it differs across PSP clinical variants. Objectives To characterize longitudinal changes in dysphagia across PSP variants and determine relationships with disease ...

SimulScan and Partial Least Squares: Visualizing Swallowing Through Functional and Dynamic Imaging Correlations

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Swallowing involves the precise coordination of muscles and brain areas and can be disrupted in a variety of neurological conditions. Current methods to visualize swallowing cannot examine both the biomechanics and brain activity associated with specific swallowing events.
