Persistent Acute Onset Macroglossia Treated with Compression Therapy.

Acute macroglossia, while rare and often limited in duration, can present significant management challenges. The anatomic position of the tongue, which can result in airway compromise in cases of enlargement, contributes significantly to difficulty with management. We review several management options for persistent acute onset lingual macroglossia and present a novel noninvasive management technique in a case which was refractory to several strategies.

Radiodensity of the Ostiomeatal Complex in Recurrent Acute Rhinosinusitis.

Objective Recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS) can be an elusive diagnosis due to the lack of clinical and radiographic findings in between acute episodes. This study aims to identify objective computed tomography (CT) characteristics in RARS. Study Design Case series with chart review.

Lower extremity fatigue increases complexity of postural control during a single-legged stance.

Background: Non-linear approaches to assessment of postural control can provide insight that compliment linear approaches. Control entropy (CE) is a recently developed statistical tool from non-linear dynamical systems used to assess the complexity of non-stationary signals. We have previously used CE of high resolution accelerometry in running to show decreased complexity with exhaustive exercise.

Reliability of mechanomyography and triaxial accelerometry in the assessment of balance.

Reliability of high-resolution accelerometery (HRA) and mechanomyography (MMG) was evaluated for the assessment of single-leg balance. Subjects (5M/5F, 25+/-3 yr; 169.4+/-11.
