Relationship of Nocturnal Insomnia Symptoms and Outcomes After Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation.

Objective: In patients undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), we examined the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) to understand how baseline sleep onset insomnia (SOI), sleep maintenance insomnia (SMI), and early morning awakening (EMA) affected postsurgical outcomes.

Study Design: Observational.

Setting: Multicenter registry.

Quantifying Aerosol Generation in Maxillofacial Trauma Repair Techniques.

Study Design: Cadaveric simulation study.

Objective: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which can be transmitted via aerosolized viral particles, has directed focus on protection of healthcare workers during procedures involving the upper aerodigestive tract, including maxillofacial trauma repair. This study evaluates particle generation at different distances from open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of maxillofacial injuries in the intraoperative setting to reduce the risk of contracting airborne diseases such as COVID-19.
