Cytological Clues to Pharyngoesophageal Diverticula Mimicking Thyroid Nodules

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 315-319, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pharyngoesophageal diverticula (PED) are uncommon hypopharyngeal outpouchings that may mimic thyroid nodules because of their close anatomic proximity to the thyroid gland. We describe two cases in which PED presented as thyroid nodules and resulted in atypical cytological findings.

Clinical Insights into Zenker’s Diverticulum: Anatomy, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Evolving Treatments

Anatomia
Background/Objectives: Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) is a rare but clinically relevant condition. It is a false, pulsion-type diverticulum due to the protrusion of mucosal and submucosal layers through the Killian’s Triangle.

Single‐Center Evaluation of Clinical Results After Modified Transoral Septotomy

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
The standard treatment for Zenker's diverticulum is transoral septotomy, which has evolved to include techniques such as septal traction to improve outcomes. This study reports the clinical results from our center using a modified transoral septotomy (MTS). ABSTRACT Objective The standard treatment for Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is transoral septotomy,

The Clinical Pathway of the Normal Outpatient Modified Barium Swallow: A Case Series

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Modified barium swallow studies (MBSS) are one of two gold‐standard assessments for oropharyngeal swallowing. It is unclear how many patients referred for outpatient MBSS have normal swallowing despite a subjective complaint of dysphagia.

Sarcopenia Risk is Associated With Decreased Swallow Safety in Patients With Dysphagia

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 1059-1064, April 2026.
Abstract Objective Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, is associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia risk, handgrip strength, and swallowing function in patients with dysphagia undergoing Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (
