Objective: Stimulated Raman histology (SRH) offers efficient and accurate intraoperative neuropathological tissue analysis without procedural alteration to the diagnostic specimen. However, there are limited data demonstrating one-to-one tissue comparisons between SRH and traditional frozen sectioning. This study explores the non-inferiority of SRH as compared to frozen section on the same piece of tissue in neurosurgical patients.

Structures surrounding laryngopharynx exposed to traditional radiation doses are susceptible to posttreatment toxicity. Among poorly understood sequelae is the rare manifestation of sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) osteoradionecrosis (ORN).

- First bite syndrome is a complication that can occur after surgery in the parapharyngeal space, often linked to issues with the nerve control of the parotid gland.
- A 74-year-old woman with a throat tumor experienced first bite syndrome even before surgery, prompting her to undergo resection of the tumor and the left parotid gland.
- Following the surgery, she reported an immediate resolution of the syndrome, indicating that addressing the issue during the operation can potentially alleviate first bite syndrome symptoms.

Objectives: We compared estimated blood loss (EBL) in patients who underwent surgical excision of carotid body tumors (CBTs) after preoperative superselective angiography with embolization (PSE) with that in patients who underwent excision of CBTs without PSE.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of a consecutive case series in a single surgeon's practice within an academic tertiary care medical center. Twenty-five patients underwent surgical resection of a CBT from 1989 to 2009.

March 2010
Article Synopsis
- The specialty of bronchoesophagology has evolved significantly over the last 60 years, shifting from a focus on bronchology and pulmonology to a greater emphasis on laryngology and aerodigestive tract function.
- A comprehensive review of 483 scientific articles from the American Broncho-Esophagological Association revealed notable trends in the subject matter discussed at annual meetings, indicating changes in clinical interest and practice.
- The study highlighted a decline in technological presentations and pediatric topics, while the attention to various neoplasms and infectious diseases remained less pronounced.
