Background: Virtual surgical planning (VSP) is an emerging method in head and neck reconstruction with demonstrated benefits, however, its economic viability is supported with mixed evidence.
Methods: A structured search was performed in five electronic databases. Studies that performed an economic evaluation on VSP in head and neck reconstruction were included.
Objective: This review aims to elucidate the role of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on the outcomes of pediatric patients with sinogenic intracranial infections.
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that described the outcomes in pediatric patients who had intracranial complications of acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) and underwent ESS with or without open neurosurgical approaches (ONA) or external sinus approaches (ESA). Primary outcomes of interest include mortality, revision surgery, length of stay and neurological sequelae.
Background: Malnutrition is a major problem in head and neck cancer (HNC) with up to half of patients requiring gastrostomy tube (G-tube) placement. Predicting this need remains complex given mixed evidence surrounding its usage.
Methods: A comprehensive search was performed to identify studies examining risk factors associated with G-tube placement following radiotherapy (RT) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in HNC patients.
Background: Biologic therapies approved for treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have well-established safety profiles but reports of rheumatic adverse events (AEs) are increasing and not well defined. This review aims to assess the risk and incidence of rheumatic AEs associated with biologic therapy in CRSwNP and summarize current reported management strategies.
Methods: A protocol was registered in PROSPERO [CRD42024525663].
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed pediatric esophageal foreign body (EFB) ingestion trends in the U.S. from 2003 to 2022, using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).
- Over two decades, the total number of identified cases was 52,315, with a notable increase in the overall incidence of EFB ingestion from 7.3 to 14.2 per 10,000 children, especially in magnets, batteries, and toys.
- Coin ingestion has decreased as a proportion of EFB cases, possibly due to changing consumer trends and increased access to electronic devices and digital currencies.
