Effect of ibuprofen on severity of surgically-managed pediatric post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
January 2023
Objectives: The association between ibuprofen use and severity of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) remains unclear. We aimed to compare PTH severity in patients who did or did not receive ibuprofen.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients requiring operative control of PTH at a tertiary children's hospital between 2015 and 2019 was performed.
There is increasing evidence that the spatial organization of cells within the tumor-immune microenvironment (TiME) of solid tumors influences survival and response to therapy in numerous cancer types. Here, we report results and demonstrate the applicability of quantitative single-cell spatial proteomics analyses in the TiME of primary and recurrent human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors. Single-cell compositions of a nine patient, primary and recurrent (n = 18), HNSCC cohort is presented, followed by deeper investigation into the spatial architecture of the TiME and its relationship with clinical variables and progression free survival (PFS).

JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2021
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric thyroid cancer often requires total thyroidectomy due to high rates of multifocal disease, but there is limited understanding of its prevalence and risk factors.
- A study analyzed 212 patients under 18 who underwent thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with multifocal disease.
- Findings indicated that 46% of the patients had multifocal disease, with specific predictors identified such as age (10 years or younger), T3 tumor stage, and N1b nodal stage, which may help improve management strategies.

Objective: To assess the impact of the 2011 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guideline on practice patterns in obtaining preadenotonsillectomy (AT) polysomnography (PSG) for pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary children's hospital.
