Immunosuppression and Surgery‐Free Interval in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Airway Stenosis
Subglottic and tracheal stenosis are severe manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) that often require both endoscopic intervention and systemic immunosuppression. Rituximab may help stabilize GPA‐related airway disease by prolonging the interval between endoscopic procedures and delaying relapse.

CT‐Based Comparison of Tracheostomy Placement Accuracy: Open Versus Percutaneous Approaches
This study provides the first objective CT‐based comparison of tracheostomy placement accuracy between open surgical and percutaneous techniques in 503 patients. Both methods achieved comparable stoma positioning relative to the cricoid cartilage, while patient factors and surgeon expertise had a greater impact on placement accuracy than the surgical ...

Prevalence of Esophageal Dysmotility and Reflux in Muscle Tension Dysphonia Patients
ABSTRACT Objectives Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) contributes to muscle tension dysphonia (MTD); however, symptoms overlap with esophageal dysmotility. Study aims were to determine the prevalence of esophageal disorders among MTD patients and correlate pathologies to patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Optical Coherence Tomography as an Emerging Technique for Identifying Pediatric Middle Ear Effusion
This prospective study evaluated optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a diagnostic tool for identifying middle ear effusion (MEE) in 164 pediatric patients. OCT was determined to have a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 93%, comparable to otoscopy and tympanometry, with moderate agreement (κ = 0.41) between clinical and non‐clinical raters.
