[Optimized interdisciplinary approach in the treatment of maxillary sinus upper wall fractures in children].
Vestn Otorinolaringol
November 2024
Morozovskaya Children's City Clinical Hospital, Moscow, Russia.
Unlabelled: Rehabilitation of children with fractures of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus remains relevant due to the need for a balanced approach to treatment, which would take into account both the features of traumatic injuries in children and the specifics of their age development. The article describes a technique for combined (endoscopic transnasal and transconjunctival) surgical treatment of children with fractures of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus using a sinus balloon catheter.
Objective: To study the effectiveness and safety of the functional method of treating fractures of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus using endoscopic sinus surgery and a sinus balloon catheter.
Poor Correlation between Diaphragm Ultrasound and Invasive Gold Standard Technique Derived Respiratory Muscle Strength Assessment in Patients after Hospitalisation for COVID-19.

Introduction: Individuals who survive acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) might experience diaphragm muscle weakness. Diaphragm ultrasound may be an easy-to-obtain bedside tool for determining diaphragm function. However, twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure (twPdi) following magnetic stimulation (MS) of the phrenic nerves is the gold standard for non-volitional assessment of diaphragm strength.

Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pathophysiology has been established in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, less is understood regarding the role the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) plays in preventing laryngopharynphageal reflux. Sustained UES basal pressure prevents reflux into the pharynx while allowing relaxation during ingestion. We investigate whether GERD influences UES function via HRM and pH Impedance testing.

Reconstruction of an obliterated Eustachian tube: transnasal lighted guidewire catheter stenting.
BMJ Case Rep
March 2024
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
An obliterated Eustachian tube (ET) is a rare occurrence that can lead to chronic otitis media (OM) and aural fullness even with treatment. Our study presents a review of the literature on methods of stenting the ET. We additionally present a case of a man with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the ET who underwent a radical nasal pharyngectomy with reconstruction and adjuvant radiation, and who had symptoms of intolerable otorrhea after tympanostomy tube placement to treat aural fullness and mucoid OM.
