Objective: To evaluate whether pharyngeal packing is a predisposing factor for the development of postoperative aphthous stomatitis in nasal surgery.
Study Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial.
Setting: A tertiary referral center.
Subjects And Methods: After the study was approved by the local ethics committee, 100 adult patients scheduled for routine nasal surgery were enrolled. The development of postoperative aphthous lesions within three days after surgery was evaluated in patients in whom a pharyngeal pack was (Group 1) or was not (Group 2) applied during nasal surgery.
Results: In Group 1, the presence of pharyngeal pack increased the risk for postoperative oral mucosal aphthae development by 4.64 times (P = 0.02, RR = 4.64, 95% CI = 1.22-17.91). No significant associations were found between postoperative oral mucosal aphthae development and sex (P = 1), age (P = 0.69), height (P = 0.73), weight (P = 0.22), or duration of surgery (P = 0.47) in Group 1.
Conclusion: Pharyngeal packing during nasal surgery increases postoperative morbidity by leading to the development of painful oral aphthous lesions.

Spatial protein expression technologies can map cellular content and organization by simultaneously quantifying the expression of >40 proteins at subcellular resolution within intact tissue sections and cell lines. However, necessary image segmentation to single cells is challenging and error prone, easily confounding the interpretation of cellular phenotypes and cell clusters. To address these limitations, we present STARLING, a probabilistic machine learning model designed to quantify cell populations from spatial protein expression data while accounting for segmentation errors.

Throat packing is essential in oral and maxillofacial surgeries to prevent blood and tissue debris aspiration, reducing postoperative complications. Traditional oral route methods are often inadequate, especially in severe trismus cases like Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF), TMJ Ankylosis, and post-traumatic conditions due to limited mouth opening. This study introduces a novel technique using a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) for throat packing.

Pharyngeal packs are employed to mitigate postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and have become prevalent in dental and otolaryngological surgeries. However, their clinical efficacy continues to be a topic of debate. The objective of the present study was to conduct a quantitative assessment of the impact of pharyngeal packing in dental and otolaryngological surgeries through meta-analysis.

Introduction: Hypoglossal nerve palsy (HNP) can be caused by nerve damage from the central nerve to a peripheral nerve, and individuals with multiple factors could be predisposed to HNP. We report a case of isolated unilateral HNP after orthognathic surgery.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old Japanese woman complained of jaw distortion and malocclusion.
