Video head impulse test in elderly individuals with dizziness.

Third and new variant of Vestibulo Ocular Reflex gain.

Higher Vestibulo Ocular Reflex gain in elderly patients.

Fluid dynamic changes in inner ear may alter Vestibulo ocular reflex gain.

The lateral supraclavicular incision in unilateral thyroid carcinoma surgery provides satisfactory cosmetic outcomes.

The lateral supraclavicular incision is a safe and practical approach for thyroidectomy.

First-postoperative day (POD) serum albumin is a predictor of complications in head and neck surgery.

First-POD albumin <2.8 g/dl increases the risk of postoperative complications.

Non-complicated patients normalize serum albumin more often and five times more rapidly.

The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) is a good screening test for OSA, with good sensitivity and specificity when compared to polysomnography in the countries where it has been validated.

The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the PSQ into Brazilian Portuguese showed high internal consistency, high agreement in the test-retest and high accuracy.

The value of 9.0 was considered ideal to differentiate between patients with OSA and controls, with a sensitivity of 0.92 and specificity of 1.0.

In places with difficult access to polysomnography, the PSQ can be a useful tool in the diagnostic suspicion and follow-up of children with OSA.

This study aimed to summarize existing studies to comprehensively compare programmed death-1, inhibitors, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma with or without chemotherapy.

Regarding the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1 inhibitors in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, combination therapy showed higher anti-tumor activity except for higher risk of myelosuppression.

The incidence of adverse events in programmed death-1 inhibitors-treated patients with any grade showed no difference with or without chemotherapy, except for higher risk of myelosuppression.

Transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty is the procedure of choice for management of vertical palate phenotype.

The study highlights a new role for transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty in strengthening of lateral pharyngeal walls.

Non- responders to primary palatal surgery for obstructive sleep apnea showed 75% success after transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty.

Multilevel collapse at the palate and hypopharyngeal lateral wall is a good indication for transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty.

Post caloric recruitment index is the ratio of the angular velocity of the slow phase obtained by cold and warm caloric stimulation of the same ear.

The normal value was established in 17.06%.

Post caloric recruitment index is useful to identify the affected ear separately.

Recruitment suggests that central compensation is not complete yet in individuals with vestibular symptoms and peripheral lesion.

Arterial lactate is a good predictor of postoperative complications in head and neck surgery.

An arterial lactate level > 1.7mmoL/L increases the risk of postoperative complications in head and neck surgery.

Evaluation of prophylactic effect of sealants in laryngeal surgeries that require extensive detachment of the vocal fold cover Prophylactic effect of sealants in laryngeal surgeries.

Incision over the entire length of the vocal fold, followed by anterior and posterior sectioning of the mucosa, creating a pedicled flap. Extensive detachment of the vocal fold cover creating a pedicled flap.

Fibrin glue induced greater fibrogenesis in the vocal fold in a later stage of the healing process. Fibrin glue induced greater fibrogenesis in the vocal fold.

Intraoperative electrically evoked auditory brainstem response thresholds were recorded at audible levels in Evo® recipients.

Absent intraoperative electrically evoked auditory brainstem response is related to inferior cochlear implant outcomes in the short term.

Longer interpeak III–V interval could be related to inferior cochlear implant outcomes.

Evoked auditory brainstem response can drive professionals to plan further actions aiming to improve cochlear implantation outcomes.

The maxillary sinus and the nasal structures have a close anatomical relationship.

Anatomical variations are very common in the sinonasal region.

Nasal septal deviation during the developmental period may result in facial asymmetry.

The relationship between concha hypertrophy and sinus height was significant.

A significant relationship was found between paradoxical concha and sinus width.

Actinomycosis of the nasal cavity is very rare.

Actinomycosis of the nasal cavity should be suspected when a patient with chronic sinusitis does not respond to medical therapy.

Nasal actinomycosis can be sufficiently treated with antibiotics and endoscopic surgery.

There was a correlation between the presence of nasal obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.

The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness, nasal obstruction and enuresis did not differ from those found in the general pediatric population.

A family history of enuresis, younger age and a positive score on the “dysfunctional voiding scoring system” were associated with a higher prevalence of enuresis.

The presence of non-syndromic Pierre Robin sequence, obstructive sleep apnea symptoms and nasal obstruction were not risk factors for the occurrence of enuresis in the studied population.

Patients are relieved of benign paroxysmal postural vertigo symptoms after canalith repositioning manuevers however, some may be resistant.

The need for multiple manuevers is more in Fukuda stepping test positive patients.

The recurrence is less in Fukuda stepping test negative patients.

When the Fukuda stepping test is positive, poor prognosis, need for multipl canalith repositioning manuevers and recurrences are expected.

Fukuda stepping test is a valuable bedside test to predict the prognosis of benign paroxysmal postural vertigo.

The long-term outcomes of posterior nasal neurectomy in patients with allergic rhinitis.

A RCT comparing the clinical efficacy of posterior nasal neurectomy with or without pharyngeal neurectomy.

Posterior nasal neurectomy combined with pharyngeal neurectomy for allergic rhinitis patients with chronic cough.

An untreated shortened lingual frenulum at birth is associated with sleep apnea.

A shortened lingual frenulum alters the craniofacial growth with respiratory consequences.

Lingual frenuloplasty associated with myofunctional therapy is effective in the treatment of snoring.

In addition to improved sleep, there was an improvement in the speech and deglutition functions.
