Discuss or comment on this article.
Anatomic variants of the jugular bulb (JB) are common; however, abnormalities such as large high riding JB and JB diverticulum (JBD) are uncommon. Rarely, the abnormal JB may erode into the inner ear. The goal of our study is to report a large series of patients with symptomatic JB erosion into the inner ear.Retrospective review in an academic medical center.Eleven patients with JB abnormality eroding into the inner ear were identified on computed tomography (CT) scan of the temporal bone.Age at presentation was from 5 years to 82 years with six males and five females. The large JB or JBD eroded into the vestibular aqueduc...

Phase-Locked Responses to Tones of Chinchilla Auditory Nerve Fibers: Implications for Apical Cochlear MechanicsEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Responses to tones with frequency ≤ 5 kHz were recorded from auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) of anesthetized chinchillas. With
increasing stimulus level, discharge rate–frequency functions shift toward higher and lower frequencies, respectively, for
ANFs with characteristic frequencies (CFs) lower and higher than ∼0.9 kHz. With increasing frequency separation from CF, rate–level
functions are less steep and/or saturate at lower rates than at CF, indicating a CF-specific nonlinearity. The strength of
phase locking has lower high-frequency cutoffs for CFs >4 kHz than for CFs...

The effect of posttreatment alcohol consumption on health-related quality of life (QOL) and factors predicting overall QOL and continued alcohol consumption were examined in patients with head and neck cancer.Self-reported alcohol use and abuse 1 year after diagnosis was analyzed.Although current drinkers (44.5% of 283 patients) had better overall QOL and fewer depressive symptoms, current social drinkers had the best scores, whereas current problem drinkers had the worst. Female sex, fewer depressive symptoms, less pain, and better eating function predicted better QOL. Oral function was the only predictor of 12-month alco...

We report on a 58-year-old otherwise healthy male patient who presented with acute-onset intermittent dysphagia, mild dyspnea, and chest symptoms. He was referred to an emergency ENT unit for a suspected peritonsillar abscess but died of a massive aortic dissection and cardiac tamponation a few hours later. This rare condition is discussed in the differential diagnosis of adult acute-onset dysphagia.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. We developed a new coordinates system for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that utilizes the labyrinth and eyeballs as references to measure the spatial arrangement of cranial organs, and we verified its usefulness by observing small structures in the labyrinth in 39 ears from 33 patients. Our new coordinates system could be used for stereotactic analysis of cranial organs in MRI. Objectives. To research semicircular canal anatomy in healthy organisms, we propose a method that employs references visible on MRI for stereotactic measurement of cranial structures, and we evaluated the usefulness of our method. Met...

It has been well established that a crisis exists in the biomedical research enterprise of clinical surgery departments: the extinction of the surgeon-scientist. A number of factors, including dwindling research funding, decreasing reimbursement from insurance providers, shrinking salaries for researchers, waning interest in academia among graduating residents, and financial pressures on departments for greater clinical productivity, have contributed to this phenomenon in recent years.1 More importantly, the growing number of basic scientists who are competing with clinicians for investigator-initiated funding from the Nat...

Conclusions Extralaryngeal branching was found in 64.53% of RLNs in this case series.

Recognition of this frequent anatomical configuration and meticulous preservation of all branches are of paramount importance to decrease postoperative morbidity associated with thyroidectomy.

Conclusions In conjunction with other clinical parameters, p16 status can help predict the need for post-RT ND in patients with OP-SCCA.

Conclusions Neck levels with residual disease on post-CRT CT imaging warrant removal. However, neck levels without evidence of disease on post-CRT CT imaging are unlikely to harbor cancer, which lends further support to the concept of basing neck dissection on post-CRT staging and performance of limited neck dissections for patients with limited residual disease.

Conclusions Reirradiation represents the only chance for cure in patients with unresectable disease. After surgery, reirradiation is performed in patients at high risk of locoregional recurrence and may increase acute toxic effects. However, free-flap reconstruction may reduce toxic effects. Functional outcomes have declined since 2000 likely because of the addition of concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy. Future research may define the subpopulation of postoperative patients for whom survival benefits most outweigh reirradiation toxic effects.

Periodontal parameters (probing pocket depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment loss, and tooth mobility [periotest]) were recorded at baseline and after 6 months. Scar formation and the loss of papilla height were evaluated photographically.No significant changes in the attachment ...

Subgemmal neurogenous plaques (SNPs) are biphasic neural structures found on the posterolateral border of the tongue. Fewer than 40 cases have been reported and only a few were symptomatic. The present report details the features of 7 cases of SNP retrieved from the files of a single institution. Clinical and histopathological data were reviewed and immunohistochemical analysis was performed for S100, CD56, neuron-specific enolase, epithelial membrane antigen, CK7, CK8, CK14, and CK20. All cases showed similar morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics. Neural markers highlighted the biphasic pattern and CK7, CK...

An unusual case of oral hirsutism in a patient with polycystic ovarian syndromeEmail this article to a colleague.

We present a clinical case that is relatively unusual owing to the appearance of black hairs that are similar to nasal hair in the oral mucosa, which is an atypical location. This unusual case was considered to be oral hirsutism, and its presence constituted the essential element in the diagnosis of PCOS. The hypothesis proposed for this unusual condition could be correlated to the high rate of circulating testosterone that may have influenced and led to the development and appearance of the hair follicles in the oral mucosa.

Conclusion: Type 2 diabetic patients had a blunted taste response for sweet followed by sour and salt tastes. This taste abnormality may influence the choice of nutrients, with a preference for sweet-tasting foods, thereby exacerbating hyperglycemia.

Three-dimensional model simulation and reconstruction of composite total maxillectomy defects with fibula osteomyocutaneous flap flow-through from radial forearm flapEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: This preliminarily clinical study and case demonstrated that: the fibula osteomyocutaneous flap is an ideal donor site in 3D total maxillectomy defect reconstruction, because of its thickness, length, and bone uniformity which makes ideal support for dental rehabilitation; the flow-through forearm radial flap not only serves as the vascular bridge to midface reconstruction, but also provides sufficient soft tissue cover for the intraoral defect; and the 3D model simulation and preoperative surgical planning are effective methods to refine reconstruction surgery, shorten the surgical time, and predict the outcome after operation.
