Cervical Inlet Patches in R‐CPD: An Unrecognized Predictor of Treatment Failure
This retrospective cohort study identified cervical inlet patches (CIP) in 19.8% of patients undergoing cricopharyngeal botulinum toxin injection for R‐CPD.

Association of Glucagon‐Like Peptide—1 Receptor Analogues and Laryngeal Symptoms in Obese Adults
Table 1 succinctly quantifies the time‑dependent association between GLP‑1RA/GIP therapy and laryngeal symptoms, demonstrating modest but statistically robust increases in outcomes such as cough and voice/resonance disorders by 6 months. It provides clinically actionable absolute risks, odds ratios, and hazard ratios that can directly inform counseling,
