Article Synopsis
- Diced cartilage (DC) is important in rhinoplasty for creating a framework used in nasal dorsal augmentation, and two methods of applying DC were tested in 15 patients.
- Postoperative ultrasounds showed that all patients had detectable DC, with a notable reduction in perifocal edema over the year, while the grafts remained intact and did not migrate.
- High-resolution ultrasound and color Doppler imaging proved effective for visualizing DC and detecting new blood vessel formation in the grafts post-surgery.
This study investigated sound localization abilities in patients with bilateral conductive and/or mixed hearing loss (BCHL) when listening with either one or two middle ear implants (MEIs). Sound localization was measured by asking patients to point as quickly and accurately as possible with a head-mounted LED in the perceived sound direction. Loudspeakers, positioned around the listener within a range of +73°/-73° in the horizontal plane, were not visible to the patients.

- Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is a long-term ear infection caused by bacteria due to issues with the eardrum and often involves antibiotic resistance.
- Research evaluated the natural drug 1,8-Cineol as an off-label treatment for COM, showing it reduced harmful bacteria and led to better health outcomes in some patients.
- This study highlights the anti-inflammatory benefits of 1,8-Cineol, suggesting potential improvements in treatment options for COM with further investigation into how it works.
Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a common and heterogeneous malignancy of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Surgery and radio(chemo)therapy are the standard treatment options and also have great influence on the composition of the tumor microenvironment and immune cell functions. However, the impact of radio(chemo)therapy on the distribution and characteristics of circulating monocyte subsets in HNSCC are not fully understood.
