Foreign Bodies in Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology: A Review.

Foreign bodies (FBs) in pediatric otorhinolaryngology represent up to 10% of cases in emergency departments (ED) and are primarily present in children under five years old. They are probably the result of children's curiosity and tendency to explore the environment. Aural and nasal FBs are the most common and accessible, and the removal methods differ depending on the exact location and type of FB, which can be organic or inorganic.

Many researchers were not compliant with their published data sharing statement: a mixed-methods study.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to analyze researchers' compliance with their data availability statement (DAS) from manuscripts published in open-access journals with the mandatory DAS.

Study Design And Setting: We analyzed all articles from 333 open-access journals published during January 2019 by BioMed Central. We categorized types of the DAS.

Nasopharyngeal Perforation After Blunt Neck Trauma During Epileptic Seizure.

Pharyngeal perforation after blunt neck trauma is a rarity. We present a case of nasopharyngeal perforation after blunt neck trauma in a 29-year-old female patient. She presented with anterior neck tenderness and dysphagia after falling during an epileptic seizure.

Feather foreign body caused periparotid and peritonsillar abscess in a 9-month-old girl.

Migratory foreign body appeared to be bird feather, caused peritonsillar and periparotid abscess in a nine-month-old infant. Patient presented painful, tender and fluctuating red neck mass on the left neck region II, and refusal of oral intake, with no fever. Azithromycin was introduced four days before presentation for suspected urinary tract infection.

Association between EGFR expression and clinical outcome of laryngeal HPV squamous cell carcinoma.

Expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA can serve as independent prognostic factors in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the larynx. EGFR correlation with the course of disease and its effect on survival makes EGFR expression a negative prognostic factor, whereas HPV DNA is a positive prognostic factor. To assess the association of EGFR expression with clinical outcome of laryngeal HPV SCC.

Authors of trials from high-ranking anesthesiology journals were not willing to share raw data.

Objectives: To analyze data sharing practices among authors of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in seven high-ranking anesthesiology journals from 2014 to 2016.

Study Design And Setting: We analyzed data sharing statements in 619 included RCTs and contacted their corresponding authors, asking them to share de-identified raw data from trial.

Results: Of the 86 (14%) authors who responded to our query for data sharing, only 24 (4%) provided the requested data.

IMPACT Observatory: tracking the evolution of clinical trial data sharing and research integrity.

Introduction: The opening of research data is emerging thanks to the increasing possibilities of digital technology. The opening of clinical trial (CT) data is a part of this process, expected to have positive scientific, ethical, health, and economic impacts thus contributing to research integrity. The January 2016 proposal by the International Council of Medical Journal Editors triggered ample discussion about CT data sharing and reconfirmed the need for an ongoing assessment of its dynamics.
