Effect of Tonsillar Retractor on Intracranial and Intraocular Pressure in Children Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy Surgeries

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
The effect of tonsillar retractor placement on IOP and ONSD values. ABSTRACT Objectives The tonsillar retractor used during adenotonsillectomy, one of the most common pediatric surgeries, may increase sympathetic activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tonsillar retractor insertion on intracranial pressure (ICP) and intraocular pressure ...

Ultrasonographic Tongue Base Motion Does Not Correlate With Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Outcomes

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
Ultrasonographic tongue‐base motion during hypoglossal nerve stimulation showed no meaningful association with treatment response in obstructive sleep apnea. Neither displacement magnitude, symmetry, nor qualitative tongue shape correlated with AHI reduction, despite good interrater agreement.

Neuromuscular Block and Video Laryngoscope to Facilitate Intubation—A Survey of Current Practice in Denmark and Sweden

open access: yesActa Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) provide optimal conditions for tracheal intubation. A high dose of opioid can be used as an alternative but may give suboptimal conditions for intubation. The use of a video laryngoscope for intubation might eliminate this potential difference.

Healthcare Resource Utilization and Cost After Temperature‐Controlled Radiofrequency Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction: A Real‐World Longitudinal Claims Analysis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 261-271, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is prevalent with substantial health and quality of life burdens. Nasal valve collapse (NVC) is one structural cause of NAO. Temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) nasal valve remodeling offers an alternative to invasive surgery.
