The aerodigestive organs share a kindred embryologic origin that allows for a more complete explanation as to how the foregut can remain a barrier to normalcy in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF).

Additional gastrointestinal (GI) luminal/alimentary organs of the foregut include the duodenum.

The aim of this paper was to review the current evidence regarding the use of IONM in non-thyroid/non-parathyroid surgery in the head and neck and thorax.
