Ultrasonic Image Characteristics of Palatine Tonsils in Healthy Children and Analysis of Factors Influencing Image Quality

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 436-444, March/April 2025.
The ultrasound detection rate of the palatine tonsils in children was good. There are characteristic ultrasonic image manifestations. Tonsil ultrasound image quality is affected by individual and local factors. ABSTRACT Objective To explore the ultrasonic image characteristics of palatine tonsils in healthy children and the factors affecting image ...

Comparative efficacy of novel bioactive glass versus sodium fluoride toothpaste for dentin hypersensitivity

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This first‐in‐human clinical study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a bioglass incorporated in a toothpaste, in reducing dentin hypersensitivity (DH) compared to a sodium fluoride (NaF) toothpaste over a 2‐week period. Methods A double‐blind, randomized, parallel‐arm, proof‐of‐concept clinical trial was conducted with 46

A randomized controlled trial of home‐applied dual‐light photodynamic therapy during supportive periodontal care (HOPE‐CP study)

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease that relies heavily on effective daily oral hygiene for long‐term control. Light‐based therapies have demonstrated strong antibacterial potential; however, their effectiveness in regular home use remains unexplored.

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Upper Airway Obstruction due to Kaposi Sarcoma—Presenting Sign of HIV: Case Report and Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study presents a case of undiagnosed HIV presenting with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) of the head and neck with acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) and provides an updated scoping literature review to examine the patient characteristics, lesion characteristics, interventions, and outcomes of KS cases with UAO from the pharynx, larynx, and/or trachea.

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

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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 ...

Implementing the Palatal Plate for Robin Sequence Beyond the Originating Center: How I Do It

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The treatment of upper airway obstruction in newborns with Robin sequence (RS) is challenging. We report our experience implementing the minimally invasive Tübingen palatal plate in a pediatric tertiary care center, detailing a step‐by‐step protocol and clinical outcomes from our first patient series.

Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes on Lung Inflammation in a Murine Aspiration Model

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study assessed the effect of intravenous MSC‐derived exosomes on inflammatory lung injury in a rat model of LPS aspiration. Compared with LPS alone, MSC exosome treatment reduced histologic lung injury overall (significant group effect p = 0.02; linear trend p = 0.006) and significantly lowered Tnf gene expression on qRT‐PCR (p < 0.05).
