The impact of digital inequities on salivary gland cancer disparities in the United States.

Introduction: Technology and internet access have become increasingly integrated into healthcare as the primary platform for health-related information and provider-patient communication. Disparities in access to digital resources exist in the United States and have been shown to impact health outcomes in various head and neck malignancies. Our objective is to evaluate the associations of digital inequity on health outcomes in patients with salivary gland cancer (SGC).

Facial Onset Sensory and Motor Neuronopathy-Like Syndrome: A Case Report.

Objectives: Facial onset sensory and motor neuronopathy syndrome (FOSMN) is a rare motor neuron disorder characterized by facial sensory and motor aberrations that progress to the upper limbs. We present a case of FOSMN-like syndrome that has characteristics of FOSMN but is confined to the craniofacial region.

Methods: Retrospective chart review and review of the literature.

PGY1 Resident-Led Mock Virtual Interviews to Prepare for the 2022 Otolaryngology Residency Virtual Interviews.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, virtual interviews are planned for the 2021-2022 residency application cycle. The virtual interview will remain novel to applicants for each match cycle until the graduating medical student class has experience from virtual interviews during their medical school admissions. The virtual interview poses unique challenges that are unique from in-person formats.

Initial outcomes at a nascent tertiary pediatric thyroid surgical center.

Objectives: Previous studies on pediatric thyroid surgical complications suggest that high-volume centers achieve improved outcomes. We hypothesize that initial outcomes from a nascent pediatric surgical practice may be comparable to higher volume centers. Furthermore, we determine whether a low-volume center can safely transition to an intermediate or high-volume center.
