RM is linked to prolonged nasal decongestant use.

RFATR helps relieve nasal obstruction and ends spray abuse.

53/256 RFATR patients had RM; all stopped decongestant use.

RM patients showed greater QoL improvement than non-RM.

RFATR is a safe and effective in-office treatment for RM.

Direct esophageal stimulation aided esophageal voice after laryngectomy.

Sixty percent achieved fluent, intelligible esophageal voice after training.

The Blom-Singer® tube was effective as a non-surgical therapeutic resource.

The method offers a low-cost, accessible option for voice rehabilitation.

Auditory feedback improved patients’ perception and motivation.

DSP reduced postoperative enophthalmos compared with SBF.

DSP achieved non-inferior ocular motility recovery.

Silicone sheets are inexpensive, contoured, and easily removable.

No optic nerve injuries or implant-related complications occurred.

DSP is a safe, effective option for complex orbital wall fractures.

PVFM often linked to organic neurological disorders, not purely functional.

Causes include brainstem malformations, epilepsy, and NMJ disorders.

Neurological disease seen in up to 54% of infants with PVFM.

∼60%–70% cases reversible with improvement after disease-specific therapy.

Findings support a neurologically oriented diagnostic approach for PVFM.

High seropositivity rates for herpesviruses and SARS-CoV-2 were observed in patients with SSNHL.

Viral coinfection was associated with poorer hearing outcomes.

Severe initial hearing loss and bilateral involvement were associated with worse prognosis.

Intralabyrinthine MRI signal abnormalities were more frequently observed in patients with positive viral markers.

Serological findings may contribute to clinical characterization and prognostic assessment in SSNHL.

New patient-reported scale measures severity of vestibular symptoms.

Instrument quantifies frequency and intensity of vestibular symptoms.

Validation study shows strong reliability and structural validity.

Provides standardized monitoring of vestibular symptom severity.

Intratympanic gadoteric acid may cause ototoxicity depending on concentration.

Undiluted gadoteric acid caused significant ABR threshold shifts at 10–24 kHz.

• Diluted gadoteric acid preparations did not demonstrate significant ototoxicity.

Histopathology showed no significant structural damage in the inner ear.

A 1:16 saline dilution of gadoteric acid is the safest intratympanic dose.

Three oVEMP montages were compared: infraorbital, chin, belly-tendon.

First study comparing three montages using air-conducted tone burst stimulation.

Peak-to-peak amplitudes and asymmetry ratios were similar in all configurations.

Belly-tendon montage had shorter latencies.

Significant negative correlation was observed between age and interamplitude value.

Sequential stimulation improved speech recognition in CI users.

Optima-S outperformed Optima-P in within-subject analysis.

First Portuguese study comparing Optima-P and Optima-S.

The role of macula flava cells in vocal fold injury repair remains unclear.

Macula flava cells exhibit different biological behaviors from fibroblasts.

Macula flava cells proliferating day 3 and 7 post-injury.

Macula flava cells may be involved in the injury repair.

The most significant decrease in bacterial counts was observed in streptomycin group.

Streptomycin group had the lowest pathological and SEM scores.

This is the first study of using streptomycin irrigation in sinusitis.

The intraoral mandibular advancement Oral Appliance (OA).

Standardized photographs influence the success of treatment with OA.

Facial patterns can benefit from a test that is reproducible between evaluators.

Easily performed by photographic evaluation or facial inspection, with low cost.

The analysis can be performed in a medical or dental office.

Preoperative tracheostomy is strongly linked to advanced tumor staging (pT4a).

Microscopic traits do not independently predict the need for prior tracheostomy.

Tumor extension predicts tracheostomy better than microscopic aggressiveness.

Nasal surgery offers effective snoring mitigation.

Nasal surgery offers effective snoring mitigation.

Research advocates for detailed nasal anatomy assessment in snoring patients.

Associative study highlights the role of nasal obstructions in sleep disorders.

“Recurrent laryngeal nerve” is the correct and most used anatomical term.

Official anatomical terminologies do not recognize “inferior laryngeal nerve”.

Terminological precision is critical for safe thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Standardized nomenclature helps prevent iatrogenic recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Mendelian randomization reveals miR-130a-3p as allergic rhinitis risk factor.

Protective causal effects of miR-1908-5p and miR-146a-3p in allergic rhinitis.

Colocalization supports shared variants for miR-181 family.

Targets of causal miRNAs enriched in Wnt, MAPK, and focal adhesion pathways.

Plasma miRNAs offer allergic rhinitis biomarker and therapeutic potential.
