ABSTRACT While epidemiological studies link fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and renal dysfunction, a translational gap exists, as most animal models utilize acute, high‐dose exposures that poorly reflect chronic, moderate‐level human scenarios.

Tracheostomy vs. Delayed Extubation in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Meta‐Analysis
High volume centers are trialing delayed extubation as an alternative management approach to tracheostomy in patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction (HNR). This systematic review shows that patients in the delayed extubation group are four times less likely to suffer an airway complication (p = 0.295) and eight times less likely to suffer a ...

National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cricothyrotomy at a Tertiary Care Level One Trauma Center
This retrospective study of 48 patients undergoing emergent cricothyrotomy (2014–2025) evaluated short‐ and long‐term outcomes and complications. Common complications included dysphagia, pneumonia, and dysphonia, with delayed conversion to tracheostomy associated with increased pneumonia risk; long‐term issues included persistent dysphagia, subglottic ...

Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...
