Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Robin sequence (RS), which causes upper airway obstruction due to micrognathia and glossoptosis, examining long-term natural decannulation (ND) outcomes in patients who underwent tracheostomy.
- Out of 144 RS patients treated, 36 were analyzed, revealing that 53% achieved ND at a median of 66.1 months, with higher rates noted in non-syndromic patients and earlier years (1995-2006).
- Factors like ethnicity, birthweight, and syndromic status were found to significantly influence ND likelihood, with lower rates in patients from 2007-2020, likely due to new management techniques being used in severe cases.
Background: Health systems face challenges to accelerate access to innovations that add value and avoid those unlikely to do so. This is very timely to the field of age-related sensorineural hearing loss (ARHL), where a significant unmet market need has been identified and sizeable investments made to promote the development of novel hearing therapeutics (NT). This study aims to apply health economic modeling to inform the development of cost-effective NT.

We use idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) as a case example, because it is a lead indication for several emerging hearing therapeutics.
Methods: A decision analytic model was developed to assess the costs and effects of using novel hearing therapeutics for patients with ISSNHL.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive and/or behavioral therapies in improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depression, and anxiety associated with tinnitus.
Data Sources: EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Registry were used to identify English studies from database inception until February 2018.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing cognitive and/or behavioral therapies to one another or to waitlist controls for the treatment of tinnitus were included.
Novel hearing therapeutics are rapidly progressing along the innovation pathway and into the clinical trial domain. Because these trials are new to the hearing community, they come with challenges in terms of trial design, regulation and delivery. In this paper, we address the key scientific and operational issues and outline the opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration these trials offer.

Objective: One of the most common challenges in surgical education for trainees is gaining practical experience through observing procedures in the operating room. Due to the nature of some procedures, a narrow surgical view severely limits the learning experience. Video glasses are new devices that offer the potential to project the primary surgeon's exact view to learners in real-time, allowing for an enhanced operative learning experience.

Paget's disease of the bone is a disorder characterized by abnormal breakdown and formation of bone tissue. The cause is believed to be either viral or genetic in origin. Most of the time, patients are asymptomatic.
