Comparison of treatments for equine laryngeal hemiplegia using computational fluid dynamic analysis in an equine head model.

Front Vet Sci

December 2024

Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada.

Introduction: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is gaining momentum as a useful mechanism for analyzing obstructive disorders and surgeries in humans and warrants further development for application in equine surgery. While advancements in procedures continue, much remains unknown about the specific impact that different surgeries have on obstructive airway disorders. The objective of this study was to apply CFD analysis to an equine head inhalation model replicating recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) and four surgical procedures.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy remains a significant complication following minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and lymphadenectomy precision, the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy has not been improved. Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy predominantly affects the left side and may lead to unilateral or bilateral vocal cord paralysis, resulting in hoarseness, dysphagia, and an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia.

January 2025

ENT Department, Valencia University General Hospital, Valencia, Spain; Medicine School of Valencia, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain.

Objetives: Montgomery medialization thyroplasty involves fitting a silicone prosthesis in the thyroid cartilage according to gender-based placement criteria. This standardized procedure can lead in some cases to suboptimal results. The aim of this study is to identify individual anatomical differences between same-gender patients that could explain the occasional failures.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between social determinants of health and timeliness of management, adherence to follow-up, and outcomes of treatment with interarytenoid injection augmentation (IAIA).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all pediatric patients treated with IAIA at a large pediatric institution's multidisciplinary aerodigestive clinic between August 2022 and February 2024. Retrieved demographic factors, dates of referral, consultation, treatment, and follow-up, as well as objective measures of dysphagia and aspiration via videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) reports, using dysphagia outcome and severity scale (DOSS) scores and the greatest unsafe thickness, or 'aspiration score'.

Objectives/hypothesis: Assess the impact of the infraglottal medialization technique on acoustics and the vertical stiffness gradient of the vocal fold using excised canine larynges.

Methods: Seven ex vivo canine larynges were tested in three states: 1) no implant, 2) medialized using a glottal implant, and 3) medialized fold using an infraglottal implant. Outcome measures were vocal efficiency and stiffness of the fold.
