Endoscopes can generate thermal injury and tissue functional impairment.

Hyperthermia can influence the responses both cochlear nerve and the brainstem.

Caliber and angulation of the endoscope influences the thermal variation.

Type and intensity of the light source influences the thermal variation.

Large-caliber endoscopes with xenon or halogen light generate more heat.

This is an evidence-based review on the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of Peripheral Facial Palsy (PFP).

The diagnosis of PFP is based on epidemiological data, medical history, and physical examination.

As the nerve regenerate, neural desynchronization and muscle depolarization occurs at different intervals.

Surgical decompression of the facial nerve is suggested when electrophysiologic testing shows degeneration greater than 90%.

Oral mucosal lesions of infectious diseases and neoplasms were the most frequent.

Clinical-epidemiological characteristics of oral manifestations are often similar.

Systematic oral and oropharyngeal examination is essential for differential diagnosis.

Multidisciplinary teams in medical routine can improve early diagnosis.

Standardized medical records can provide tools for differential diagnosis.

Stridor is the predominant symptom of post-extubation laryngitis.

Airway endoscopy is needed for a definitive diagnosis.

Reflux and previous history of intubation were identified as risk factors.

Systemic corticosteroids should be part of the medical treatment.

Multidisciplinary approach is advised for post-extubation laryngitis management.

New variants of the ALMS1 gene.

Clinical phenotype associated with mutation.

Audiological evolution of the reported patients.

Omega-3 fatty acid is known as an antiallergic and immunomodulator molecule.

Allergic rhinitis models can be created on experimental animals.

The efficacy of fish oil in the allergic rhinitis model can be evaluated.

Keystone preservation reduces the risk of destabilization of the nasal dorsum.

Modified extracorporeal septoplasty improved quality of life and aesthetics.

Low index of complications after Modified Extracorporeal Septoplasty.

Both lidocaine and labetalol effectively achieved the desired hypotension levels.

Both drugs achieved the target blood pressure within a similar time frame.

Both drugs have comparable hemodynamic response in achieving hypotension.

There is a comparable quality of surgical field visualization with both drugs.

The choice of drug does not impact the overall duration of the surgical procedures.

Deep neck infections may manifest as an initial and atypical symptom of KD.

Otolaryngologists should maintain awareness of the possible manifestations of KD.

The operation should be cautious in cases that KD mimic deep neck abscesses.

We analyzed the largest sample of AEA with computed tomography scans.

First study of the distance between the AEA and SB using computed tomography.

We analyzed AEA lateral asymmetry within the same individual.

DEGs of CRSwNP were correlated with olfaction and immunization.

ALOX15 was confirmed as the core gene of CRSwNP.

IL5, IL1RL1, and IL1RAP were significantly positively correlated with ALOX15.

Facial canal crest and double parallel transverse crests are unprecedented findings.

IAM anatomy variations may explain disease course differences.

Awareness of anatomical variations in the IAM may help improve surgical outcomes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been widely used in patients with mild to moderate anxiety and depression.

Additional CBT combined with conventional therapy may offer additional improvement to patients with PPPD.

CBT could promote the improvement of symptoms and functional recovery, thereby producing therapeutic effects.

This is the 2024 updated Brazilian Guideline for Biologicals in CRSwNP.

Our understanding of Biologics has increased.

A comprehensive score system for the indication of biologics is proposed.

The higher the score, the stronger the indication for biologics.

This will help ENT physicians in selecting the appropriated patients.

Patients with advanced laryngeal SCC have better surviving rates when submitted to TL as the first-choice treatment.

Patients with T4 tumors should have TL as their treatment of choice.

T3 tumors have similar survival rates with both treatments. Higher recurrence and worse disease-free survival with NST.

Dysphagia and feeding tube dependence are more likely to happen when using organ preservation treatment.
