Evolving Trends and Future Demands in ENT Procedures: A Nationwide 10-Year Analysis.

: This study aims to investigate the trends in otology, rhinology, and head and neck (H&N) operations over the past decade in England. These trends will allow for predictive modelling to forecast the demand over the coming years to aid workforce and resource planning in ENT. : Hospital Episode Statistics data were extracted between April 2012 and April 2023.

Early impact of domestication on aggressiveness, activity, and stress behaviors in zebrafish (Danio rerio) using mirror test and automated videotracking.

Fish domestication progresses through five levels: from the initial acclimatization to captivity (Level 1), to the life cycle completion in captivity (Level 4), and even to the implementation of selective breeding programs (Level 5). Domestication leads to phenotypic changes over generations, sometimes from the very first generation. Behavioral traits are among the first to change.

Correlation Between Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Postoperative Histology: A 10-Year Single-Centre Experience.

Introduction Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) forms part of the routine workup for suspicious thyroid nodules. Whilst cytological analysis is less precise than histological assessment, it is quick and easy to perform and may avoid the need for invasive and potentially risky surgery. Methods This retrospective study spanned a 10-year period comparing preoperative FNAC with postoperative histology results to establish the accuracy of diagnosis and malignancy rates within our population.

Resection of subsequent pulmonary metastases from treated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Pulmonary metastasectomy involves the surgical removal of pulmonary nodules. It is a recognised therapeutic modality for the treatment of metastatic disease. There is no consensus as to the role of pulmonary metastasectomy in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Dexamethasone reduces pain, vomiting and overall complications following tonsillectomy in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures, but there is debate whether systemic steroids should be used to reduce pain and post-operative complications.

Objective Of Review: To determine whether peri-operative steroids reduce post-tonsillectomy pain and complications in adults.

Type Of Review: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
