Purpose: This study proposes the Lamella Ostium Extent Mucosa (LOEM) system as a compact and user-friendly classification for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), based on surgical bone extension and mucosal management, aiming to resolve inconsistencies in describing surgical techniques and extension levels, and to enhance comparability of outcomes in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
Methods: LOEM uses a lettering system representing a specific topographical level: L identifies the lamellae, O the ostia, E the opening of the sinus walls, and M the mucosal approach. Eleven CRS surgical cases were independently evaluated by seven rhinologists following a Delphi method in two consecutive rounds.
Purpose: To search for existing evidence of prognostic factors related to the development of late-onset hearing loss (LOHL) in infants with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV).
Methods: A PRISMA systematic review was performed, with the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases searched from inception through to December 2023; after the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria a total of 9 papers were included in this review. PROSPERO registration number CRD42024492244.
Purpose: Upper airway (UA) surgery is commonly employed in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The intricate pathophysiology of OSA, variability in sites and patterns of UA collapse, and the interaction between anatomical and non-anatomical factors in individual patients may contribute to possible surgical failures. This clinical consensus statement aims to identify areas of agreement among a development group comprising international experts in OSA surgery, regarding the appropriate definition, predictive factors in patients, and management of surgical failure in OSA treatment.

- The study looked at how otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) can help people who have nosebleeds that just won't stop. They wanted to see if tying off or burning a certain artery (the sphenopalatine artery) would work well and safely over time.
- Researchers reviewed 16 different studies with 454 patients; about two-thirds had the artery tied off, and the rest had it burned or both.
- The results showed only a small number of patients had nosebleeds return or other complications, making these methods seem safe and helpful for stubborn nosebleeds.
