Laryngeal atresia is a rare congenital condition that presents with hypoxia and failed intubation attempts at birth. When diagnosed prenatally, options exist to obtain airway access during delivery. However, postnatal diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and the prompt initiation of surgical airway management in order to avoid morbidity and mortality.

- * A unique case involving a 19-year-old female with bilateral ulcerative lesions in her mouth, occurring weeks apart, is presented, highlighting the complexity of diagnosis.
- * After ruling out other possible causes like cancer and infections, the patient was treated with antibiotics and steroids, leading to symptom resolution, emphasizing the need to consider this condition in patients with oral ulcers.
Discontinuation and nonpublication of pediatric otolaryngology clinical trials.

December 2021
Objectives: Randomized controlled trial (RCT) discontinuation and nonpublication are potential mechanisms of waste in resources and lead to decreased advancement of medical science and compromised ethical issues in all specialties. However, the prevalence of discontinued or unpublished RCTs regarding common pediatric otolaryngology disorders and interventions remains unclear.
Study Design: Cross-sectional analysis.
Objective: To assess the effect of 3-dimensional (3D)-printed surgical simulators used in an advanced pediatric otolaryngology fellowship preparatory course on trainee education.
Study Design: Quasi-experimental pre/postsurvey.
Setting: Multicenter collaborative course conducted at a contract research organization prior to a national conference.
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is a last-resort treatment to induce substantial and sustained weight loss in cases of severe obesity. This anatomical rearrangement affects the intestinal microbiota, but so far, little information is available on how it interferes with microbial functionality and microbial-host interactions independently of weight loss.
Methods: A rat model was employed where the RYGB-surgery cohort is compared to sham-operated controls which were kept at a matched body weight by food restriction.
