Click me…! The influence of clickbait on user engagement in social media and the role of digital nudging.

Clickbait to make people click on a linked article is commonly used on social media. We analyze the impact of clickbait on user interaction on Facebook in the form of liking, sharing and commenting. For this, we use a data set of more than 4,400 Facebook posts from 10 different news sources to analyze how clickbait in post headlines and in post text influences user engagement.

Effect of Auditory Task Type on Physiological and Subjective Measures of Listening Effort in Individuals With Normal Hearing.

Purpose Listening effort has traditionally been measured using subjective rating scales and behavioral measures. Recent physiological measures of listening effort have utilized pupil dilation. Using a combination of physiological and subjective measures of listening effort, this study aimed to identify differences in listening effort during 2 auditory tasks: sentence recognition and word recognition.

[Value of sialendoscopy in German ENT-hospitals in 2016].

Objective: In 2009 a nationwide survey revealed that only 24 % of the German ENT-hospitals performed sialendoscopy. In 2016 the survey was repeated to reevaluate the actual ranking of sialendoscopy in Germany.

Material Und Methods: Again, the same questionnaire as in 2009 was sent to all German ENT-hospitals.

The 8th edition AJCC/UICC TNM staging for p16-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma: is there space for improvement?

The 8th edition of the AJCC/UICC TNM-staging system for p16[HPV]-positive OPSCC manages to improve prediction of prognosis and will essentially influence choice of therapy in future. Nonetheless, adjustments of the current version are needed. The surrogate marker p16 alone is inadequate for HPV detection, the role of ECS in HPV-positive OPSCC is not fully understood, and the patient's characteristics as well as molecular signatures and genetics have not been taken into consideration yet.

Rigid Triple Endoscopy Improves Clinical Staging of Primary Head and Neck Cancer.

Background: Correct pre-therapeutic staging of the first primary carcinoma (FPC) and detection of simultaneous second primary carcinomas (SSPCs) decisively influence therapy and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). The aim of this study was to determine the benefit of pre-therapeutic triple endoscopy for detection of SSPC and pre-therapeutic T category.

Methods: A cohort of 234 HNSCC patients with completed triple endoscopy was reviewed, focusing on pre-therapeutic T category and SSPC.

Intraindividual homogeneity of F-FDG PET/CT parameters in HPV-positive OPSCC.

Objectives: F-FDG PET/CT is widely used in clinical oncology. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) represents an emerging disease that differs from HPV-negative OPSCC in clinical behavior and tumour biology. In these tumours, HPV-oncogenes might lead to distinct alterations in metabolic pathways.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) sialography--an adjunct to salivary gland ultrasonography in the evaluation of recurrent salivary gland swelling.

Objective: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) sialography could help improve the visualization of the ductal system of salivary glands. The aim of this retrospective investigation was to monitor the use of CBCT sialography for the diagnosis of pathologies within the intraglandular ductal system when ultrasonography was inconclusive.

Study Design: Fourteen consecutive patients suffering from recurrent swelling of a major salivary gland were evaluated.

Contrast-agent enhancement in ex vivo flat-panel computed tomography of locally advanced laryngeal cancer.

Conclusion: Visualization of cartilage invasion in ex vivo laryngectomy specimens was improved by flat-panel volumetric computed tomography (fpvCT) after diffusion of contrast agents. A prospective study to assess the specificity and sensitivity of this new method is warranted.

Objectives: Cartilage invasion is a criterion for staging laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Short-term outcome and patient satisfaction after sialendoscopy.

Sialendoscopy is an established, minimally invasive technique to diagnose and treat obstructive disorders of major salivary glands. Knowledge about patient satisfaction and quality of life is limited. All patients who underwent sialendoscopy were prospectively followed and evaluated.

Extracardiac juvenile rhabdomyoma of the larynx: a rare pathological finding.

The extracardiac juvenile rhabdomyoma is extremely rare in the field of Otorhinolaryngology. The tumour usually arises from the soft tissue of the face or from mucosal sites, especially the oropharynx and the oral cavity but only sporadic endolaryngeal cases have been described in literature so far with predominance of young males. Here, we describe the very rare case of endolaryngeal extracardiac juvenile rhabdomyoma in a 42-year-old male.

Certifying a university ENT clinic using the ISO 9001:2000 international standard.

Purpose: Against statutory duties to introduce quality management systems, the increased importance of this subject has led to numerous activities in various public health institutions. Following the International Standardization Organization (ISO 9001:2000) prerequisites, Frankfurt Goethe University Hospital ENT clinic staff introduced a quality management system. This paper aims to investigate this process.

Clinical requirements for an ultrasound-based tool navigator for minimally interventional procedures.

Background: The past years showed a considerable progress in the development of imaging and navigation systems to support minimal-invasive surgery. However, these methods do not always meet actual clinical requirements of surgeons. They often cause technical and logistic efforts and considerable costs.

Perfluorohexane vapor has only minor effects on spatial pulmonary blood flow distribution in isolated rabbit lungs.

We tested the hypothesis that administration of perfluorohexane (PFH) vapor does not significantly affect the relative pulmonary blood flow (Qrel) distribution in isolated rabbit lungs. Fourteen isolated rabbit lungs were perfused with a Krebs-Henseleit buffer solution (flow 150 mL/min). Pulmonary afterload was set to 3 mm Hg.
