Our present choice of papers will cover various generalist aspects of our speciality. We will report on the importance of biofilms, the role of helicobacter in otitis media, de role of fungi in sinusal disease, or on the increase of MRSA in neck abscesses. Treatments of mycotic otitis and middle ear infection, sudden hearing loss, or acute ethmoiditis in children will be described. The interest of tonsillectomy, dacryocystorhinostomy or preservation radiotherapy will be also discussed.

In this study, the graft success and hearing improvement were compared in patients with subtotal or total tympanic membrane perforations following conchal cartilage-reinforced temporalis fascia graft tympanoplasty (CCRTT) versus traditional tragal island cartilage tympanoplasty (TICT). Fifty Type 1 tympanoplasties performed for subtotal or total tympanic membrane perforation were classified into 2 groups: CCRTT consisted of 23 patients and TICT consisted of 27 patients. The difference between these 2 groups was analyzed by means of graft success, reperforation, and postoperative hearing gain after 12 months.

Background: Isolated sphenoid sinus fungal mucoceles are extremely rare and potentially associated with visual disturbances, cranial nerve (CN) deficits, or pituitary dysfunction. Their initial symptoms are often absent or nonspecific, and routine examination offers little information, resulting in diagnostic and therapeutic delays. A high index of suspicion and a thorough understanding of their clinical presentation, neuroradiological features, microbiological implications, and complication profile are crucial for early diagnosis and prompt management.

Introduction: Advancements in scintigraphic gastrointestinal motility testing that were developed, validated, and replicated in clinical practice at Mayo Clinic have significantly enhanced our understanding and management of gastrointestinal motility disorders. Importantly, normative values in at least 100 healthy controls and estimated inter- and intra-individual coefficient of variation for all parameters have been published for these tests.
Areas Covered: This article reviews methodology, accuracy, reproducibility, and diagnostic cutoffs of scintigraphic techniques for measuring gastric emptying, gastric accommodation, and colonic transit, comparing methods from Mayo Clinic with those used elsewhere when appropriate.

Pedicled, fasciocutaneous and visceral flaps are all widely adopted for reconstruction after ablative surgery for advanced laryngeal, hypopharyngeal and cervical oesophageal cancers. With multiple options available, the choice depends on type and extent of the defect, patient's general conditions and institution expertise or preference. Since its first description in 1959, the use of jejunal free flap (JFF) has been refined thanks to the introduction of microvascular anastomoses, progressively allowing to achieve low mortality and morbidity rates.
