Deep neck abscesses are one of the most dangerous emergencies in otolaryngology.

The principal complication in deep neck abscesses is airway obstruction.

It is difficult to predict which patients will require Advance Airway Management.

Some factors have been used to create scales to stratify the risk of complications.

The benefit of a risk scale is to prevent requirement of advanced airway management.

Hearing alteration may occur during Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika infections.

Otalgia, hypoacusis, vertigo and tinnitus were the most common symptoms.

Sensorineural hearing loss was more notiaceable in adults exposed to Zika virus.

The actual effect of arboviruses on hearing from adults is unknown.

Auditory training for tinnitus is studied as an auditory rehabilitation strategy.

There is still no consensus on the best practice methodology.

There is a need for further high-level studies in this area.

Auditory discrimination training was the most studied type.

Considering attentional factors and multisensory paths may lead to future research.

MiR-99a-5p was the most significant differentially expressed gene in exosomes.

The proliferation and migration of NPC cells were extremely facilitated by exosomes.

NPC derived exosomes facilitated the proliferation and migration of NPC.

MiR-186 was lowly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

MiR-186 inhibited epithelial–mesenchymal transformation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

MiR-186 directly targets ZEB1 to negatively regulate its expression.

MiR-186 regulated the epithelial–mesenchymal transformation by targeting ZEB1.

Butorphanol-soaked nasal packing can reduce pain and improve sleep quality.

Butorphanol-soaked nasal packing does not increase adverse effects after surgery.

0.03mg/kg butorphanol may be more appropriate for clinical use than 0.04mg/kg.

352 tympanic membranes were analyzed.

7.7% prevalence of tympanic membrane perforation.

Sensitivity of 85.2%, specificity of 98.1% and accuracy of 97.1%.

53.4% of the participants considered the video otoscope as the best method.

Electrochemotherapy treatment is a well tolerate procedure.

Electrochemotherapy treatment is associated with a higher overall survival in patients with neck metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma.

Electrochemotherapy treatment is associated with a diminution of pain and anxiety in patients with neck metastasis.

Electrochemotherapy is an option as palliative treatment for patients with neck metastasis of carcinoma refractory to other therapies.

The type of healing (ulcer vs dry crust) of the surgical wound could not be associated with a higher rate of response or survival.

Alpha-lipoic acid is not better than olfactory training alone after COVID-19.

We found a strongly difference in baseline and endline olfaction in both groups.

This is the first trial comparing alpha-lipoic acid as an adjuvant treatment.

Hsa_circ_0013561 is significantly up regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Knockdown of Hsa_circ_0013561 in NPC cells inhibited cell proliferation and migration.

Knockdown of Hsa_circ_0013561 in NPC cells inhibited EMT progression in vitro.

Hsa_circ_0013561 functions through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for hearing recovery in SSNHL.

Serum uric acid levels negatively affect hearing outcome in SSNHL.

Initial hearing threshold is a risk factor for SSNHL recovery.

The GCBI questionnaire in tonsillectomized children obtained a Cronbach's alpha of 0.94.

The translation of the GCBI questionnaire maintained semantic equivalence.

The cross-cultural adaptation of the GCBI is conceptually and culturally adequate for the sample.

Metastases in cutaneous spinalioma significantly reduce the prognosis.

Tumor parameters increasing the risk of their incidence are known.

Elective parotidectomies were performed for high-risk skin head tumors.

Occult metastases were not found in any of the patients.

Elective parotidectomy is not beneficial even for high-risk tumors.

A follow-up of the journey of the individual with OSA was carried out.

64.1% of the participants had still not used CPAP or had given up on therapy.

Epidemiological and polysomnographic factors did not interfere with the use of CPAP.

White noise improved high working memory in 68% of tinnitus patients.

White noise reduced high working memory in 8% of tinnitus patients.

White noise had no effect in high working memory in 24% of tinnitus patients.

White noise could release of cognitive resources and reduce auditory effort.

Only a small part of patients suffers from ENS after endoscopic skull base surgery.

Patients undergoing ESBS were likely to suffer nasal problems and sleep disorders.

Patients who had received radiotherapy have a worse QoL.
