This study presents the clinical and anatomic findings of the use of the long head of the triceps tendon for treatment of massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears. The clinical study included 19 shoulders in 18 patients with a minimum followup of 2 years who were prospectively reviewed. All patients had preoperative and postoperative functional evaluations using the UCLA scoring system. The anatomic study included 20 upper extremities that had been injected with Microfil. All patients in the clinical study were satisfied with their outcome. There was an improvement in the UCLA pain and function scores. The long head of the triceps tendon is a myotendinous vascularized transfer that is a useful reconstructive procedure in patients with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears that continue to be symptomatic despite conventional attempts at repair.

Robotic Slide Tracheoplasty for Pediatric Tracheal Stenosis in Three-Dimensional Printed and Pig Trachea Models.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
March 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California.
Purpose: Pediatric long-segment tracheal stenosis often requires operative repair with a slide tracheoplasty performed through median sternotomy. We hypothesized that this operation can be performed through a transcervical approach with use of a single-port robotic system.
Description: A transcervical single-port robotic slide tracheoplasty was performed in 2 models-a 3-dimensional (3D) printed pediatric tracheal stenosis model and a cadaveric pig trachea model.
The influence of acute alcohol intoxication and hair visibility on delayed face recall.
Memory

Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, UK.
Many witnesses are intoxicated at crime scenes, yet little is known of their ability to accurately describe perpetrators to police. We therefore explored the impact of alcohol on delayed verbal face recall across two experiments. Participants were administered an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage prior to viewing either one or two unfamiliar female faces, which they described from memory the following day while in a sober state.

The human body houses many distinct and interconnecting microbial populations with long-lasting systemic effects, where the oral cavity serves as a pathogens' reservoir. The correlation of different disease states strongly supports the need to understand the interplay between the oral tissue niche and microbiome. Despite efforts, the recapitulation of gingival architecture and physiological characteristics of the periodontal niche has yet to be accomplished by traditional cultural strategies.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea. Electronic address:
Objective: To evaluate the impact of additional vidian neurectomy or posterior nasal neurectomy in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and allergic rhinitis (AR), compared to the outcomes of conventional endoscopic sinus surgery alone.
Methods: Up to May 2024, six databases were systematically searched. We evaluated studies that compared the clinical improvement of chronic sinusitis-related symptoms and endoscopic findings between the neurectomy group (endoscopic sinus surgery plus vidian neurectomy or posterior nasal neurectomy) and the control group (endoscopic sinus surgery only).
Noise Exposure History and Age-Related Changes to Hearing.
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston.
Importance: Noise exposure is a major modifiable risk factor for hearing loss, yet it is not known whether it affects the rate of hearing decline in aging.
Objective: To determine the association of noise exposure history with the rate of pure-tone threshold change per year.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This longitudinal cohort study was conducted in the ongoing community-based Medical University of South Carolina Longitudinal Cohort Study of Age-Related Hearing Loss (1988 to present with the sample based in Charleston, South Carolina, and surrounding area).
