Drooling in developmentally normal children: a review.

Objective: Drooling or saliva spillage has been explored widely among children with neurodevelopmental conditions. Yet, the approach to drooling in an otherwise developmentally normal child remains unexplored, as it is regarded as self-limiting. Nonetheless, drooling beyond age 4 in the awake stage should raise concern.

Intracapsular versus extracapsular tonsil surgery: Comparison of postoperative haemorrhage outcomes in the Australasian setting.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and timing of postoperative haemorrhage between intracapsular (ICT) and extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) techniques and evaluate factors influencing haemorrhage risk and severity.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing tonsillectomy over 5 years across otolaryngology services in Australia and New Zealand. Primary outcomes were rate and timing of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage.

Outcome of kinesio taping in drooling children: A systematic review.

Introduction: Drooling is a troublesome condition, especially in children with neuromuscular and intellectual disability. Over the past decade, novel interventions have been trialled to alleviate drooling in the affected children. Kinesio tape (KT) application has shown promising results in controlling drooling in children.

Familial congenital laryngotracheal stenosis: A systematic review.

Background: Congenital laryngotracheal stenosis (CLS) is a rare cause of stridor among newborns. Evidence has shown that several family members can be affected by CLS. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of familial congenital laryngotracheal stenosis (FCLS) will enable more effective therapeutic strategies.

The incidence of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis at Starship Children's Hospital before and after a national HPV vaccination programme: a retrospective review.

Aim: To review and compare the incidence of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) at Starship Children's Hospital (SSH) before and after the introduction of a national HPV vaccination programme.

Methods: Patients treated for JRRP at SSH were identified retrospectively using ICD-10 code D14.1 over a 14-year period.
