Abstract Objective Increasing evidence supports that auditory feedback of one's own voice closely relates to real‐time adjustments of vocal control. Previous studies highlighted that the low‐frequency modulations of below 3 Hz (LFM) embedded in vocal fundamental frequency (F0) showed a reflex‐like response to altered auditory inputs. However, the auditory feedback control of different vocal disorders remains unclear. Design A cross‐sectional, case‐controlled study. Setting A tertiary...

Abstract Approximately 75% of patients are recommended adjuvant oncological treatment after transoral surgery (TOS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy can result in significant long‐term swallowing difficulties, which can negatively impact upon quality of life. This prospective study utilised a comprehensive and complementary set of measures, including a patient reported, clinician‐rated and an objective measure, to assess the change in swallowing function...

Abstract No treatment of epistaxis has proved its superiority in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Submucosal radiofrequency (SRF) can reduce Epistaxis Severity Score up to 24 months after surgery. SRF is well tolerated under local anesthesia. A unilateral SRF can reduce epistaxis on both nasal sides. Repeated SRF procedures require controlling energy delivery to prevent nasal perforation. This article is protected by copyright.

On December 18, 2018, the US Surgeon General declared e-cigarette vaping among adolescents an “epidemic.” This declaration coincided with a report in The New England Journal of Medicine highlighting a 10% increase in youth vaping between 2017 and 2018, the equivalent of an additional estimated 1.3 million teenagers. In a public hearing in January 2019, the former US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, stated that e-cigarettes pose an “existential threat” to youth, and...

Abstract Visible light synchronizes the human biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus to the solar 24‐hour cycle. Short wavelengths, perceived as blue color, are the strongest synchronizing agent for the circadian system that keeps most biological and psychological rhythms internally synchronized. Circadian rhythm is important for optimum function of organisms and circadian sleep‐wake disruptions or chronic misalignment often may lead to psychiatric and neurodegenerative...

On the first day of my clinical rotation in Pediatrics as a third-year medical student, I was handed the Harriet Lane Handbook and told, with some ferocity, that “children are not just little adults.” Similarly, otolaryngologic problems in children are not just smaller versions of those problems in adults. Although otolaryngologists have always cared for children, and the fundamental nature of their specialty is conducive to treating diseases in children (otitis media, upper respiratory infections,...

Objectives The insulin‐like growth factor‐1 receptor (IGF1R) has been implicated in therapeutic resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) of IGF1R activity may have anticancer activity. Therefore, the relationship between survival and IGF1R expression was assessed for oral cavity (OC) cancer, and the antitumor effects of two IGF1R‐TKIs, OSI‐906 and BMS‐754807, were evaluated in HNSCC cell lines in vitro. Methods Clinical...
