Substernal goiters often require surgery, yet their location presents challenges. Most can be removed via transcervical approach, but extent and relationship to mediastinal structures can merit consideration of sternotomy and assistance of colleagues. Despite widespread use in sinus surgery and previous literature reports, microdebrider use to facilitate transcervical removal of substernal goiters has not been broadly adopted.

Purpose: Hypoxemia during a failed airway scenario is life threatening. A dual-lumen pharyngeal oxygen delivery device (PODD) was developed to fit inside a traditional oropharyngeal airway for undisrupted supraglottic oxygenation and gas analysis during laryngoscopy and intubation. We hypothesized that the PODD would provide oxygen as effectively as high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) while using lower oxygen flow rates.

Objective: The aim: To study the efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with adenoid vegetations by implementing a differential method for choosing a tip for endo-scopic power-assisted adenoidectomy in children depending on dentition.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We investigated the presence of nasal air emissions in 127 children (2-12 years old) before and after the operation. We excluded 12 patients due to the presence of nasal air emission before the operation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the accuracy and effectiveness of various Rapid Antigen Detection Tests (RADTs) for SARS-CoV-2, comparing them to the standard RT-PCR tests, and examined different testing strategies and settings.
- - After reviewing 8010 records, 18 studies were included in the analysis, showing that while RADTs had high specificity (>98%), sensitivity varied, particularly favoring samples collected by healthcare workers over self-collected ones, and nasal samples performed better than saliva.
- - The researchers concluded that more high-quality studies are needed to validate the findings, as the current literature showed a risk of bias and differences in sensitivity, and recommended evaluating testing strategies in real-world scenarios focusing on transmission and incidence rates.
Torus mandibularis and its implication as a risk factor for the formation of sialolithiasis.

Sialolithiasis is the formation of a stone within the salivary gland, and approximately 80% of them occur within the submandibular gland. Sialolithiasis can lead to swelling and pain of the gland in the immediate phase and if left untreated, can lead to sialadenitis and even atrophy of the gland. Certain factors have already been established in the formation of sialolithiasis such as dehydration, tobacco smoke, autoimmune disorders and certain medications.
