Introduction: This study aims to improve the diagnostic yield of cervical fine-needle aspiration (FNA) through training on a novel liver model. Ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) is crucial for diagnosing head and neck lumps but requires meticulous execution. Limited resources often hinder systematic teaching, making practical models essential for training.

- * A study analyzed 156 patients, finding that the majority were male (62%), with a median age of 64 years. The most common types of cancer were squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and malignant melanoma.
- * The results showed generally low morbidity post-surgery, but patients undergoing radiation therapy experienced more acute side effects like dermatitis and mucositis. Several factors, including cancer type and skull base involvement, negatively impacted overall and recurrence-free survival rates.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on improving cochlear implant procedures by testing a new robotic tool designed to minimize trauma during the insertion of electrodes, which is crucial for preserving hearing in patients with some remaining inner ear function.
- Using a validated model, the researchers conducted 60 insertions (30 manual and 30 robot-assisted) and found that the robotic method significantly reduced force variation and intracochlear pressure peaks compared to manual techniques.
- The findings suggest that robotic assistance allows for more controlled and consistent insertion speeds, potentially enhancing hearing preservation while indicating that further research is needed to address later stages of the surgery.
Objective: To explore Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer's (ChatGPT's) capability to create multiple-choice questions about otorhinolaryngology (ORL).
Study Design: Experimental question generation and exam simulation.
Setting: Tertiary academic center.
Purpose: There are challenges in understanding the biomechanics of the human middle ear, and established methods for studying this system show significant limitations. In this study, we evaluate a novel dynamic imaging technique based on synchrotron X-ray microtomography designed to assess the biomechanical properties of the human middle ear by comparing it to laser-Doppler vibrometry (LDV).
Methods: We examined three fresh-frozen temporal bones (TB) using dynamic synchrotron-based X-ray microtomography for 256 Hz and 512 Hz, stimulated at 110 dB and 120 dB SPL.
