Chronic Qat Chewing Effects On Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, And Laryngopharynx, Ahmed Mahmoud El Batawi, Ahmad M. Eltelety, Mohamed Abd Elmottaleb Sabaa
Pan Arab Journal of Rhinology
Background Qat (also known as Khat, Kat, Miraa) is a green plant Catha edulis planted mainly in East and South Africa, and The Arabian Peninsula. It is widely and traditionally consumed by people in some regions. It has general effects on different systems such as cardiovascular and nervous system. Local effects were mainly described in the oral cavity such as periodontitis and white keratotic lesions. Scarce studies proved its relationship with cancer development. To date, there is a literature gap in reporting other local manifestations. In this study, the authors discuss additional local manifestations noted with chronic qat chewing. Aim …

International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Purpose: This article presents a narrative review of current recommendations for the clinical evaluation and management of adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to identify points missing from a myofunctional perspective.
Methods: The authors reviewed current official guidelines for adult patients with OSA, searching clinical evaluation and treatment recommendations for myofunctional therapy.
Results: None of the current guidelines for evaluation of adult OSA recommend performing a myofunctional evaluation. Only two guidelines consider myofunctional therapy (MFT) as a treatment modality for adult patients with OSA.
Conclusion: Despite the role of the pharyngeal dilator muscles as an …

Background: Although postoperative complications of paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) are generally low, surgical site complications and unplanned reoperation can still occur. Recent literature suggests infection to be the most common complication following PMFF reconstruction. This study sought to determine the patient and preoperative factors associated with surgical site complications and unplanned reoperations at a national level.
Methods: Patients who underwent PMFF reconstruction from the ACS-NSQIP 2007 - 2019 database were analyzed to determine composite surgical site morbidity and unplanned return to the operating room. Patient and operative factors were also analyzed to assess independent risk factors for surgical site morbidity …

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures performed in children, however there are currently no published studies evaluating tonsillectomy in children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). With this study, our goal was to investigate the indications, efficacy, and complications of tonsillectomy in a pediatric cohort of patients with 22q11DS. This is a retrospective chart review of patients in our 22q Center's repository. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of 22q11DS and a history of tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy. Data collected included: indications for tonsillectomy, preoperative and postoperative polysomnography (PSG) results, and surgical complications. In total, 33 patients were included. Most common …

Endolymphatic Sac Tumor, Tanner P. Lyons, Laura Barry, Robert T Sataloff
Otolaryngology (ENT) Resident Research
Masses occupying the retrolabyrinthine space are uncommon and most often represent paragangliomas, choroid plexus papilloma, endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) or distant metastasis. ELSTs are rare, locally invasive tumors of the inner ear, with less than 300 cases reported in the literature. ELSTs are associated with von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease. Patients diagnosed with an ELST should undergo genetic testing for VHL disease, and individuals with confirmed VHL disease should be screened for ELST(s).

BACKGROUND: Metformin slows tumor growth and progression in vitro, and in combination with chemoradiotherapy, resulted in high overall survival in patients with head and neck cancer squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in our phase 1 clinical trial (NCT02325401). Metformin is also postulated to activate an antitumor immune response. Here, we investigate immunologic effects of metformin on natural killer (NK) and natural killer T cells, including results from two phase I open-label studies in patients with HNSCC treated with metformin (NCT02325401, NCT02083692).
METHODS: Peripheral blood was collected before and after metformin treatment or from newly diagnosed patients with HNSCC. Peripheral immune cell …

The endemic spread of obesity and unhealthy behaviors of modern society led to revisiting the real prevalence related to obstructive sleep apnea. Recent data support a paradigm shift towards individually tailored treatments which include functional surgery of the upper airways. This paper presents the results of a randomized interventional, prospective study on 68 patients referred by the general practitioner for obstructive sleep apnea. The eligible cohort consisted of 28 patients who were offered functional surgery for definitive relief of obstructive symptoms. After topographic diagnosis of the obstruction site and grading of the severity of the obstructive sleep apnea, the eligible …

BACKGROUND: Usher syndrome (Usher) is the most common genetic cause of concurrent deafness and blindness. Currently, 3 clinical types and 10 genes are associated with the disease. Approximately 2.5% of Usher is caused by mutations in the USH1C gene. At least 50 mutations in the USH1C gene have been reported to cause USH1C, however the c.216G>A mutation accounts for nearly all Usher 1 cases in Acadian patients of Louisiana, USA, and Canada. Progress over the past two decades in access to genetic testing, early diagnosis, and cochlear implantation has significantly improved clinical management for patients with hearing loss, including …

Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Faculty Papers
Background: Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) following surgical resection confers a survival benefit for adult patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We aim to investigate if adjuvant RT provides a similar survival advantage to patients ages 80+ through a national curated database.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study queried the National Cancer Database (NCDB) for all cases of HNSCC between 2004-2016. Patients treated with surgical resection alone were compared to those treated with surgery plus adjuvant RT. Overall survival (OS) was compared within adult (age <80 >years) and senior adult (age ≥80 years) cohorts using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Hazard ratios …

Otolaryngology (ENT) Resident Research
We cared for a 59-year-old female smoker who presented with a supraglottic lesion mimicking a laryngeal saccular cyst. The lesion was found to be a oncocytic papillary cystadenoma. This is a rare, benign neoplasm that accounts for 2–4.7% of minor salivary gland neoplasms. Oncocytic papillary cystadenoma of the larynx is even more rare, compromising less than 1% of all benign laryngeal neoplasms. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive differential diagnosis for cystic laryngeal lesions.

Coronavirus Disease-19 Infection And Angioedema In African Americans: A Case Series, Jose Manuel Martinez Manzano, Otoniel Ysea-Hill, Brenda Chiang, Simone A Jarrett, Kevin Bryan Lo, Zurab Azmaiparashvili
Department of Medicine Faculty Papers
Rationale: Few case series have described the simultaneous development of angioedema in patients with coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19). Most of these reports were described in at-risk patients for developing bradykinin angioedema. Therefore, we aim to describe 5 African American patients who developed simultaneous COVID-19 and angioedema.
Methods: This was a case series of hospitalized patients with simultaneous angioedema and COVID-19 infection in a single center from May 2020 to February 2022. We used descriptive statistics. The study was approved by the institutional review board.
Results: Their median age was 55 years (range 28-66); all patients were African American, and 3/5 …
