Purpose: Reinke's edema is a benign lesion affecting the subepithelial layer of the vocal cords, often associated with moderate or heavy smoking. Smoking is the most significant risk factor for dysplastic laryngeal lesions, laryngeal carcinomas, and Reinke's edema. Thus, Reinke's edema could potentially be a predisposing factor for laryngeal malignancy in the long term.

Article Synopsis
  • * Results indicated that PRP alone showed better cartilage viability in the first month, while the use of PDS plates led to notable cartilage degeneration and a significant reduction in chondrocyte proliferation by the third month, contradicting initial expectations.
  • * Overall, the findings suggest that while PRP may enhance cartilage healing, PDS plates could trigger adverse reactions like increased fibrosis and structural issues, providing valuable insights for future research and clinical practices.

Article Synopsis
  • Mucosal melanomas, particularly in the oral and sinonasal regions, present diagnostic challenges due to their varied characteristics and differentiation patterns, including neuroendocrine features.
  • A study of 18 cases revealed that 72.2% displayed neuroendocrine differentiation, suggesting it is a common feature in these types of melanoma.
  • The research highlights the importance of recognizing neuroendocrine markers (like synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD56, and INSM-1) in preventing misdiagnoses in malignant melanomas.

Objectives: To identify the etiology of vertigo/dizziness and determine the effectiveness of the video-head impulse test (vHIT) and the suppression head impulse paradigm (SHIMP) tests in distinguishing between peripheral and non-peripheral etiologies in children who presented to the otolaryngology department with complaints of vertigo/dizziness.

Methods: The vHIT and SHIMP tests were applied to the children. The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and saccade parameters were compared.
