The study analyzed the effectiveness of a two-week cycle of sulfurous water therapy at Frasassi Thermal Springs ("Terme di Frasassi - S. Vittore", located in the Province of Ancona, Italy) on 8 patients suffering from rhinogenic deafness caused by chronic rhinosinusitis associated with nasal polyps and respiratory allergies. Patients underwent 12 sessions of sulfurous aerosol therapy and 12 bilateral tubal insufflations (1 aerosol and 1 insufflation per day).

- The paper explores the use of AI for automatic selection of important frames during laryngoscopy, enhancing data extraction, storage, and review processes.
- Various deep learning models were trained on over 5,000 laryngoscopy images and tested in real-time settings, particularly focusing on performance using ResNet-50.
- The model showed high precision and recall rates (95% precision and 97% recall), indicating its strong potential for use in clinical scenarios to assist otolaryngologists in improving diagnostic accuracy.
Despite advancements in multidisciplinary care, oncologic outcomes of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) have not substantially improved: still, one-third of patients affected by stage I and II can develop locoregional recurrences. Imaging plays a pivotal role in preoperative staging of OSCC, providing depth of invasion (DOI) measurements. However, locoregional recurrences have a strong association with adverse histopathological factors not included in the staging system, and any imaging features linked to them have been lacking.

Objective: The present study evaluated the safety and efficacy of dupilumab in severe uncontrolled type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of adult patients affected by severe CRSwNP treated with dupilumab. Maxillofacial computed tomography, evaluation of blood eosinophils and serum IgE levels, measurement of nasal polyp score (NPS), smell identification test (SSIT-16), sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) and asthma control test (ACT) were performed.
