Background: Sinonasal pathology is frequently cited as a cause of eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), despite a lack of evidence. Using a large, nationally representative sample, we investigated whether abnormal tympanometry, an objective marker of ETD, was associated with infectious, allergic, and exposure-related sinonasal risk factors.
Methods: Relevant data were extracted from the 2011-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Objectives: For chronic obstructive sialadenitis, there is a paucity of long-term prospective evidence of disease-specific symptom outcomes after sialendoscopy-assisted salivary duct surgery (SASDS). We prospectively assessed patients with sialolithiasis before and at 3 months and 1 year after SASDS using the Chronic Obstructive Sialadenitis Symptoms (COSS) questionnaire.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of adult patients with sialolithiasis who underwent SASDS and completed the COSS questionnaire over a 1-year follow-up period.
Objective To determine the accuracy of surgeon-performed ultrasound (SP-US) features for predicting intraoperative sialendoscopic findings and to correlate ultrasound features with short-term symptomatic outcomes following sialendoscopy-assisted salivary duct surgery (SASDS). Study Design Case series with chart review. Setting The practices of 2 academic sialendoscopy surgeons.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients with obstructive sialadenitis from duct stenosis completed the 20-item Chronic Obstructive Sialadenitis Symptoms (COSS) Questionnaire (scored 0-100) prior to SASDS and 3 months postoperatively.
Objectives: To prospectively assess symptoms before and after sialendoscopy-assisted salivary duct surgery (SASDS) in patients with symptomatic sialadenitis without sialolithiasis.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients with chronic obstructive sialadenitis without sialolithiasis (COSWS) completed the Chronic Obstructive Sialadenitis Symptoms (COSS) questionnaire prior to SASDS and 3 months postoperatively.
Objectives/hypothesis: To prospectively assess symptoms of obstructive sialadenitis before and after sialendoscopy-assisted salivary duct surgery (SASDS) using the chronic obstructive sialadenitis symptoms (COSS) questionnaire to determine and predict impact of interventions.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Adult patients with chronic obstructive sialadenitis who underwent SASDS were asked to complete the COSS questionnaire and the Short-Form-8 (SF-8) quality-of-life (QOL) survey prior to surgery and 3 months postoperatively.
Objectives/hypothesis: Introduce the Chronic Obstructive Sialadenitis Symptoms (COSS) questionnaire to quantify chronic sialadenitis symptoms and assess the impact of sialendoscopic-assisted salivary duct surgery (SASDS).
Study Design: Retrospective outcome symptoms questionnaire study.
Methods: The COSS questionnaire assesses the severity of sialadenitis symptoms from 0 to 100.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the rate of occult metastases in patients with head and neck mucosal squamous cell carcinoma who have undergone therapeutic neck radiation, and then develop primary site recurrence, without clinical evidence of recurrent neck disease.
Study Design: Case series with chart review.
Setting: Tertiary care center.
