Introduction: The most pressing questions patients ask about facial fillers and the sources to which patients are directed remain incompletely understood.

Methods: The search engine optimization tool Ahrefs was utilized to extract Google metadata on searches performed in the USA. The most frequently asked questions were categorized by topic, while websites were categorized by authoring organization.

Comparison of Outcomes with the Use of Different Heat-Activated Crimping Prostheses in Stapedotomy.

Objective: To determine differences in failure rate and hearing outcomes of a completely encircling heat-activated crimping prosthesis (SMart 360°) compared to partially encircling prosthesis (SMart).

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Private neurotology tertiary referral center.

Predicting Adherence to Topical Medications in Chronic Rhinologic Disease: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To determine risk factors of medical adherence and describe strategies to increase adherence in patients with chronic rhinologic disease.

Data Sources: PubMED, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and Cochrane.

Review Methods: Systematic review of 4 databases (PubMED, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Cochrane) from inception of databases to September 1, 2022 to identify studies that evaluated factors related to and affected by medical adherence in patients with chronic rhinologic disease.

Comparing adverse events associated with LigaSure and Harmonic devices in head and neck surgery.

Objective: To characterize adverse events, provide a safety profile, and understand patient outcomes after complications arising from LigaSure and Harmonic use in the head and neck region.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of adverse events from the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) between January 2013 and 2023.

Results: A total of 158 LigaSure and 159 Harmonic events were extracted.

Medico-legal liability of injuries arising from laryngoscopy.

Objective: Dental and mucosal injuries from laryngoscopy in the peri-operative period are common medico-legal complaints. This study investigated lawsuits arising from laryngoscopy.

Methods: Westlaw, a legal database containing trial records from across the USA, was retrospectively reviewed.

Radioactive Iodine in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: A Systematic AGREE II Clinical Practice Guideline Appraisal.

Objective: Identify and appraise clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for radioactive iodine (RAI) indications in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), and the treatment for radioactive iodine refractory (RAI-R) DTC using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II tool.

Data Sources: MEDLINE (Pubmed), Ovid (EMBASE), and Scopus.

Review Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify CPGs addressing RAI in DTC.

Management of the Difficult Airway: An Appraisal of Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Objective: Management of the difficult airway can be a challenging process, which necessitates actionable recommendations from well-established guidelines. Herein, clinical practice guideline (CPG) quality is evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument.

Study Design: A systematic literature search was performed using Scopus, EMBASE, and MEDLINE via PubMed.

Long-term core outcomes of patients with simple gastroschisis.

Purpose: To report the long-term core outcome set of patients with simple gastroschisis.

Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of all patients with simple gastroschisis managed at our hospital between August 2008 and July 2016. We collected all data included in the core outcome set developed for the standardization of gastroschisis outcomes reporting.

Inhaled Nitric Oxide Is Associated with Improved Oxygenation in a Subpopulation of Infants with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and Pulmonary Hypertension.

Objectives: To determine which patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) benefit from inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) treatment by comparing characteristics and outcomes of iNO responders to nonresponders.

Study Design: We performed a retrospective chart review of infants with CDH treated at our center between 2011 and 2016. In a subset of patients, iNO was initiated for hypoxemia or echocardiographic evidence of extrapulmonary right to left shunting.

The Effects of Nitric Oxide in Oxygenator Sweep Gas During Extracorporeal Circulation in a Neonatal Ovine Model.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a life-saving intervention, but bleeding complications are frequent. Given that the combination of platelet loss and dysfunction is a major contributor to this acquired bleeding diathesis, efforts to combat these phenomena are of great clinical importance. In this study, we investigated the effects of nitric oxide (NO) added to the sweep gas of an extracorporeal circuit in a neonatal ovine model.

Growth trajectory and neurodevelopmental outcome in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of impaired growth on short-term neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes in CDH survivors.

Methods: Between 9/2005-12/2014, 84 of 215 (39%) CDH survivors underwent ND assessment at 12months of age using the BSID-III.

Results: Mean cognitive, language, and motor scores were 92.
