Identifying Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment patterns of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) following head and neck cancer therapy across three academic institutions. VPD demonstrated a highly variable and delayed onset, with radiation‐associated cases developing after a mean of 8.5 years and many patients presenting more than 10 years after ...

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Complications of Maxillomandibular Advancement for OSA versus Orthognathic Surgeries for Dentofacial Deformities

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgeries for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and orthognathic surgeries for dentofacial deformities (DFDs) are both complex procedures with distinct indications. This meta‐analysis and systematic review aimed to compare complications and recovery metrics between these surgeries. Data Sources CINAHL,

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Children Predicts OSA Severity

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first line for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treatment failure is common. Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) provides dynamic airway assessment, but its role in predicting OSA severity requires clarification. This study correlates DISE findings with polysomnographic severity. Objective To

Spectrum of Congenital Malformations in Sex Chromosome Tetrasomies and Pentasomies: A Systematic Review

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex chromosome aneuploidies represent a heterogeneous group of chromosomal conditions, in which phenotypic complexity generally increases with the number of supernumerary sex chromosomes. While Turner syndrome and sex chromosome trisomies are relatively well characterized, less is known about congenital malformations in sex chromosome ...

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Versus Mandibular Advancement Devices Impact on Cardio‐Metabolic Outcomes in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea contributes to cardiovascular morbidity, and its treatment may mitigate this risk. Continuous positive airway pressure and mandibular advancement devices are established therapies, but their comparative cardiometabolic effects remain uncertain.

Patient‐Reported Outcomes of Palatopharyngeal Surgery Without Tonsillectomy: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3706-3717, September 2026.
Palatopharyngeal surgery without tonsillectomy leads to clinically meaningful improvements in daytime sleepiness and snoring, but patient‐reported outcomes vary markedly by surgical technique. Suture‐based procedures, muscle relocation, cold‐steel approaches, and powered instruments show the largest and durable benefits, with no evidence of effect ...
