Acute suppurative thyroiditis in a child secondary to pyriform sinus fistula: From single case to systematic review.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST), a rare yet potentially life-threatening infection, comprises less than 1 % of neck pathologies and requires prompt treatment. Symptoms range from neck pain and fever to dysphagia and possible abscess formation. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the primary treatment; however, surgical drainage may be necessary for abscesses to prevent systemic infection.

Assessment of the Inter-Frequency Amplitude Ratio (1000/500 Hz) in cVEMP and oVEMP for the Diagnosis of Ménière's Disease.

: to retrospectively evaluate the clinical relevance of the 1000/500 Hz inter-frequency amplitude ratio (IFAR) in cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs and oVEMPs) in patients with unilateral definite Ménière's disease (MD) to identify the pathological ear. : cVEMPs and oVEMPs results obtained at 500 Hz and 1000 Hz were retrospectively analyzed in 28 patients with unilateral definite MD. 1000/500 Hz IFAR were calculated and compared for each ear.

Impact of neck dissection in cN0 patients undergoing primary or salvage total laryngectomy.

Introduction: It is debatable whether neck dissection is necessary in patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma who are clinically node-negative (cN0). We assessed the effect of neck dissection on overall survival in patients with cN0 undergoing primary or salvage laryngectomy.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation of cN0 patients who underwent primary or salvage total/pharyngolaryngectomy at a French tertiary facility in 2008-2018, with or without neck dissection, was carried out.

Artificial Intelligence in Head and Neck Cancer Diagnosis: A Comprehensive Review with Emphasis on Radiomics, Histopathological, and Molecular Applications.

The present review discusses the transformative role of AI in the diagnosis and management of head and neck cancers (HNCs). It explores how AI technologies, including ML, DL, and CNNs, are applied in various diagnostic tasks, such as medical imaging, molecular profiling, and predictive modeling. This review highlights AI's ability to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, particularly in analyzing medical images like CT, MRI, and PET scans, where AI sometimes outperforms human radiologists.
