Socioeconomic and Ethnic Disparities in Timing and Outcome of Interarytenoid Injection Augmentation.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between social determinants of health and timeliness of management, adherence to follow-up, and outcomes of treatment with interarytenoid injection augmentation (IAIA).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all pediatric patients treated with IAIA at a large pediatric institution's multidisciplinary aerodigestive clinic between August 2022 and February 2024. Retrieved demographic factors, dates of referral, consultation, treatment, and follow-up, as well as objective measures of dysphagia and aspiration via videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) reports, using dysphagia outcome and severity scale (DOSS) scores and the greatest unsafe thickness, or 'aspiration score'.

A Rare Case of Solitary Fibrous Tumor Involving the Nasolacrimal Duct System in a 12-Year-Old Female: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

We report the youngest case of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) with extensive involvement of the nasolacrimal duct system and discuss current literature regarding this tumor type. A 12-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of an enlarging right medial orbit mass. CT orbits revealed a well-circumscribed, enhancing lesion adjacent to the right nasolacrimal system.

No Difference in Perioperative Outcomes Following Colorectal Cancer Resection Between Flagship and Non-Flagship Hospitals in New York State.

Background: Hospitals are rapidly consolidating to create large healthcare systems. Whether outcomes following colorectal cancer resection at flagship hospitals differ from those at non-flagship hospitals is unknown.

Methods: A 6-year retrospective analysis of an all-payor New York State (NYS) hospital database was conducted.

A Proposed Protocol for the Acute Management of Palpebro-Orbital Myiasis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Periocular and orbital myiasis are rare, vision-threatening conditions characterized by the infestation of dipterous fly larvae into periorbital and orbital tissues. While it has been primarily reported in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate is ideal for fly larval breeding, any patient with inadequate wound care regardless of geography may be predisposed. Infestations can progress rapidly over the course of several days with significant risk of life-threatening intracranial extension.
