Analysis of Upper Airway Morphology Using Four‐Dimensional Dynamic MRI With Active Deep Learning‐Based Automatic Segmentation

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Upper‐airway morphology changes during breathing can be captured with cine 4D MRI. Active‐learning nnU‐Net reduces manual labeling while maintaining accuracy. Purpose For automatic upper airway segmentation on free‐breathing cine 4D MRI using active learning and quantifying dynamic changes under two mouth positions.

Cost‐Utility Analysis of Intracapsular and Extracapsular Techniques for Pediatric Tonsillectomy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Intracapsular coblation tonsillectomy (ICT) is more cost‐effective than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) in pediatric patients, particularly for ambulatory procedures. In a prospective cohort of over 5000 cases, ICT was associated with lower costs and comparable or better quality‐adjusted life years, even when accounting for potential revision ...

Adenotonsillar Microbiome Shifts in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study compares the microbiomes of adenoids and tonsils in pediatric OSAS patients and healthy controls using 16S rRNA sequencing. Significant differences were found in the tonsillar microbiome of OSAS patients, with lower alpha diversity and an overrepresentation of pathogenic genera like Haemophilus and Neisseria, while adenoid microbiomes showed
