Perioperative management of pediatric patients undergoing juvenile angiofibroma resection. A case series and educational review highlighting patient blood management.

Background: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are one of the most enigmatic, bloody tumors encountered by otorhinolarygnologists, head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, and anesthesiologists. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are rare, benign, highly vascular tumors with a propensity towards aggressive local invasion. Surgery, open or endoscopic, to remove the growth is the primary treatment of choice for Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas.

Mosquito Larvicides of Partial and Combinations Extract of Ethnobotanical Plant from North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Diseases caused by microbes vectored by mosquitoes are still a health problem in tropical countries today. DHF and Malaria are the two primary diseases vectored by mosquitoes, the morbidity and mortality rates have increased in low countries until now. However, the best way to control these two diseases is to control vectors, namely mosquitoes.

The purpose of this study was to compare the management of intracranial sinusitis complications in pediatric patients between members of the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) and the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO). A cross-sectional web-based survey was distributed twice to the ASPO and ARS membership over an 8-month period. The overall survey response rate was 12.

Paediatric nasal dermoid: evaluation and management.

Purpose Of Review: The aim of this study was to present the evaluation and current management of congenital paediatric nasal dermoid.

Recent Findings: There has been a trend towards less invasive surgical excision techniques, including purely endoscopic excision, endoscopic-assisted approaches and midline excision with nasal bone osteotomies and bone flap. These approaches allow adequate access for both total resection and nasal contour and skull base reconstruction.

Validation of the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale in Pediatric Patients.

Objective/hypothesis: The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) is a disease specific quality of life instrument developed and validated in adults. The objective of this study is to evaluate the validity of the NOSE scale for pediatric nasal obstruction. We also examined the effect of septoplasty with bilateral inferior turbinate reduction in this population.

Improvement of Pulmonary Function in Cystic Fibrosis Patients following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

Objective/hypothesis: To compare pre-and post-operative pulmonary function relative to disease severity in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Methods: Patients with CF who underwent ESS between January 1996 and July 2018 were identified, with subsequent study exclusions based upon surgical indications or incomplete records.

Postoperative Disposition Following Pediatric Sistrunk Procedures: A National Database Query.

Objective/hypothesis: Variability exists in the postoperative disposition of children following Sistrunk procedures. Management options include discharge home versus overnight observation, with the latter allowing monitoring for immediate postoperative complications, presumably reducing the need for subsequent readmission. This study investigates the association between overnight observation and ambulatory management of children undergoing Sistrunk procedures and relevant postoperative complication and revisit rates to clarify best practice for these patients.

Does Ibuprofen Increase Bleed Risk for Pediatric Tonsillectomy?

Objective: To evaluate risk factors for pediatric posttonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) and the need for transfusion using a national database.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: The study was conducted using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database.

Objective: To evaluate perioperative pain management regimens as they relate to tympanostomy tube outcomes.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Tertiary referral children's hospital.

Pediatric Subperiosteal Abscess Secondary to Acute Sinusitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objectives/hypothesis: The surgical versus medical management of subperiosteal abscess can be controversial. The purpose of this study was to summarize current literature and provide pooled analyses to help direct management decisions.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
