Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights In General, TNM staging which primary tumor and nodal volume is not included, been used to predict the prognosis of oral cavity cancer. Recent studies, primary tumor volume has increasing evidence for predict prognosis. We studied the role of nodal volume in oral tongue cancer for the survival outcomes. The result showed that nodal volume of ≥3.95 cm3 was a poor prognostic factor for distant metastasis. Nodal volume may use in adjunct with TNM staging to predict disease prognosis in oral tongue cancer.

Highlights Advanced oncologic defects of midface and scalp are challenging for reconstruction. Free flaps in the midface and scalp region are the gold standard for advanced cases. No consensus in the literature on the best recipient vessels for microanastomosis. Superficial temporal and cervical vessels are reliable options for microanastomosis.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Various machine learning methods used to predict hearing recovery in ISSHL patients. The deep neural network method showed the highest predictive performance. Initial and early post-treatment hearing levels were significant prognostic factors. Machine learning may help predict ISSHL prognosis, as shown in the study.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Spontaneous internal vertigo was experienced by most VM patients. Most VM patients have CT intolerance. Spontaneous external vertigo was experienced by most MD patients. MD patients mostly have severe vestibular symptoms and autonomic responses. Most MD patients show CT(+) with vHIT(−) with the presence of saccades.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Vocal nodules present mid-posterior triangular chink. Vocal nodules present irregular free edge contour. In vocal nodules glottal cycle is symmetric and periodic.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) was more common in women. The proportion of men with BPPV increased with age. Geriatric BPPV patients often had risk factors associated with atherosclerosis. Horizontal canal-BPPV and multi-canal-BPPV were more common in geriatric patients. The effectiveness of canalith repositioning procedure may decrease with age.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Peroxynitrite could induce Hair Cells (HCs) damage in vitro on mouse cochlear. Peroxynitrite eventuated HCs loss in a basal-apical gradient manner. Outer HCs were more vulnerable to peroxynitrite injury than inner HCs. Peroxynitrite could cause mitochondria oxidative damage to HCs. Low concentrations of Wnt3a have a protective effect on the oxidative damage of HCs.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights A very rare type of benign sinonasal polyps. Potential misdiagnosis as malignancy. Immunohistochemical stains are very contributive to diagnosis.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Clinical and laboratory studies show the relationship of vestibular inputs to various high functions. Cognitive Vestibular Function Scale is developed to detect cognitive problems associated with vertigo/imbalance. The basic component analysis is used to evaluate the validity of the scale Cronbach alpha coefficient for its reliability.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Performance of screening instruments for obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea screening in different age groups. The STOP-Bang questionnaire has high sensitivity for screening OSA. ROC curve and area under the curve of three sleep disorder screening instruments. Age has no significant influence on the screening for obstructive sleep apnea.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Data from a large patient collective identify risk factors for recurrent sinusitis. Inadequate surgery determines to a large extent the need for revision sinus surgery. Special attention in the area of the ostiomeatal complex may reduce the failure rate.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights OK-432 sclerotherapy for macrocystic lymphangiomas was more effective. This meta-analysis to verify whether the efficacy of OK-432 was related to classification for the first time. OK-432 should be used to therapy LMs with a lesion diameter greater than 1 cm. The classification basis is very important to the effect of sclerotherapy treatment.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Rupatadine is the most effective for allergic rhinitis among various oral H1 antihistamines. Rupatadine 20 mg is more effective for allergic rhinitis than rupatadine 10 mg. Loratadine 10 mg has inferior efficacy for allergic rhinitis to the other oral H1 antihistamines.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights The prevalence of the altered caloric test + normal vHIT dissociation was 47%. The dissociation of findings between the two tests may be a result of the tonotopy of hair cells in the ampullary crest. This condition could help for the diagnosis of Meniere’s disease.

Resumen en Inglés:

Highlights Bleomycin was highly effective in treating LMs. The usage will affect the efficiency of bleomycin. The dosage will affect the efficiency of bleomycin. The efficacy of bleomycin was related to classification.
