Splenius capitis: sensitive target for the cVEMP in older and neurodegenerative patients
Abstract Background The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a technique used to assess vestibular function. Cervical VEMPs (cVEMPs) are obtained conventionally from the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle; however, the dorsal neck muscle splenius capitis (SPL) has also been shown to be a reliable target alongside the SCM in young subjects. Objective ...

Increased gene expression of inflammatory markers in nasal turbinate of patients with persistent allergic rhinitis and chronic obstruction
Abstract Purpose The pathogenesis of persistent allergic rhinitis with chronic and refractory nasal obstruction is still unknown. Inflammation and tissue remodeling are known to play a role, but this has not been studied thoroughly. The purpose of this study is to identify the profile of gene expression of inflammatory and remodeling markers in nasal mucosa of patients with PAR and chronic obstruction. ...

Healing acceleration of mastoidectomy through the external auditory canal incisionless approach
Abstract Purpose To evaluate a surgical procedure of canal wall-up mastoidectomy without incision of the canal which enables accelerated healing and enhances hearing outcome. Methods A total of 79 patients were enrolled. A canal-incisionless technique was used in 37 patients undergoing canal wall-up/down mastoidectomy (CWU/DM), explo-mastoidectomy,...

Stapes surgery leads to significant improvement in quality of life, independently from the surgical method: evaluation of stapes surgery using different prostheses and different quality of life measurements
Abstract Objectives To compare quality-of-life (QoL) measurements with audiological results after stapes surgery with two different prostheses. Methods This is a retrospective longitudinal study. All patients required stapes surgery for otosclerosis and ossicular chain reconstruction with either a titanium band prothesis (TBP) or receiving a...

Incidence of anatomical variations according to the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification (IFAC) and their coincidence with radiological sings of opacification
Abstract Background The endonasal access to the frontal recess and sinus may be complicated by a variety of anatomical variations. Previous classifications of these variants were characterized by proper names or position information without anatomical reference. The IFAC is intended to simplify the classification of anatomical variations of the frontoethmoidal complex. The aim of this study was to analyse a representative number...

Randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy to improve the quality of surgical field of hypotensive anesthesia with clonidine or dexmedetomidine during functional endoscopic sinus surgery
Abstract Purpose Intense bleeding of the surgical field is a potential factor influencing success of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Hypotensive anesthesia with α2 intravenous agonists reduces intraoperative bleeding, but which is the best agent is unknown. The main objective of this trial was to compare the current standard adjuvant drug for hypotensive anesthesia, clonidine, with the recently available alternative dexmedetomidine....

Exploring stimulation patterns for electrical stimulation of the larynx using surface electrodes
Abstract Purpose Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is considered an upcoming treatment modality for a number of laryngeal diseases. However, sound data are scarce when it comes to surface FES to treat voice disorders. Aim of the present study was to identify and differentiate suitable surface FES patterns to activate internal laryngeal muscles. Methods ...

Comparative outcome of surgical and nonsurgical therapy for T4bN0M0 sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas
Abstract Purpose Definitive radiotherapy (RT) is recommended by NCCN guidelines for T4b tumors of sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SNSCC). However, no multi-institutional clinical studies have proved its advantage over surgery-based modalities. The aim of this study was to assess the survival of T4bN0M0 SNSCC patients who received surgery plus postoperative radiation (S + PORT) compared with those who received RT. ...
