Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare how well the Modified Frailty Index and the Modified Surgical Apgar scores predict postoperative outcomes, specifically complications and mortality, in head and neck cancer patients.
- The analysis involved 723 patients who underwent major surgeries from 2012 to 2015, with results showing that both scoring systems were significantly linked to 30-day complications, but the Modified Surgical Apgar score was more effective.
- Ultimately, while both scores are valuable for assessing patient risk, the Modified Surgical Apgar score provided better predictive power, and using them together did not enhance accuracy significantly.
The continued demand for digital health requires that providers adapt thought processes to enable sound clinical decision-making in digital settings. Providers report that lack of training is a barrier to providing digital health care. Physical examination techniques and hands-on interventions must be adjusted in safe, reliable, and feasible ways to provide digital care, and decision-making may be impacted by modifications made to these techniques.

Introduction: Hypoxia due to sinus obstruction is a major pathogenic mechanism leading to sinusitis. The objective of the current study is to define the electrophysiologic characteristics of hypoxia in vitro and in vivo.
Methods: Cystic fibrosis bronchoepithelial cells expressing wild-type cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and human sinonasal epithelial cells were exposed to 1% or atmospheric O for 24 h.
