Objective: Trampolines are popular among children, but trampoline injuries constitute a large number of emergency department visits. The purpose of this study was to determine how often neck injuries occur among children with trampoline-related injuries and to identify the mechanism of injury.
Methods: We analyzed the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database to characterize patient demographics, injury types, injury subsite, and emergency department disposition status associated with trampoline related neck injuries between 2012 and 2021 in the United States.

Objective: To describe maxillary frenum Kotlow scores in a pediatric population.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for children ages 0-19 years old seen at a pediatric otolaryngology clinic by one surgeon from March-December 2022. Inclusion criteria required a recorded maxillary frenum Kotlow score.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetes patients have a higher risk (~50%) of sudden cardiac death primarily due to ventricular arrhythmias, with the proinflammatory lipid mediator leukotriene B4 (LTB4) playing a significant role.
- In studies using guinea pig hearts, it was found that elevated LTB4 in diabetic models leads to harmful heart rhythms and decreases critical potassium current, affecting heart function.
- The research indicates that targeting LTB4 receptors could be a promising therapeutic strategy to improve heart health and reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in diabetes patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the risks of lingual tonsillectomy (LT) in a large cohort and compare these risks to those of palatine tonsillectomy (PT).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the United States collaborative network within TriNetX. The LT group was defined using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 42870 and PT group using CPT codes 42820, 42821, 42825, or 42826.
Article Synopsis
- - Obesity is a major and growing global health issue, affecting over 600 million adults and projected to double by 2030, with significant implications for heart health, particularly concerning arrhythmias in those with long QT syndrome.
- - The excess fat in obese individuals triggers chronic inflammation through the release of IL-6, a cytokine that increases the risk of severe heart diseases and arrhythmias by altering heart function.
- - Despite promising results from the IL-6 inhibitor olamkicept in treating other inflammatory conditions, the specific link between IL-6 trans-signaling and heart rhythm disturbances in obesity has yet to be fully investigated, highlighting a crucial area for future research.
