Choice and Death: Analysis of Medical Assistance in Dying for Head and Neck Cancer in Ontario

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 6, Page 2598-2604, June 2026.
The uptake of MAiD for head and neck cancer (HNC) has been steadily increasing since 2016, when MAiD first became available in Canada. Our study projects a substantial increase in the future use of MAiD for patients with HNC. As such, our health system needs to re‐evaluate and implement the necessary infrastructure to support the projected increase in ...

Lymphedema Severity and Quality of Life as a Function of Selective Neck Dissection Technique

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study investigated head and neck lymphedema after selective neck dissection. It was found that the resection of the external jugular and facial vein during selective neck dissection was associated with a statistically significant increased risk of more severe external lymphedema compared to when these vessels are preserved.

Unraveling Oral Dysbiosis: Microbial Complexity in Common Oral Diseases

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The oral microbiome undergoes dynamic establishment from birth, maturing into a resilient ecosystem. Perturbation of this homeostasis—driven by dietary, immunological, and anatomical factors—triggers dysbiosis, which underpins the pathogenesis of major oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, salivary gland disorders, oral mucosal ...
