This retrospective study assesses the prevalence of otolaryngology (OTO) disease in houseless patients on O'ahu based on data from the Houseless Outreach and Medical Education (HOME) clinics, a medical student-run, primary health care service. It is important to note that this data represents only a snapshot in time of the OTO diseases present in this population. Records were examined from September 3, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Patients with at least 1 OTO disease were included in this study. A total of 597 patient records were reviewed; a total of 58 patients were included in this study. The most common OTO diagnoses in this sample were facial trauma (n = 12, 21%), dental caries (n = 7, 12%), cerumen impaction (n = 6, 10%), viral upper respiratory infection (n = 5, 9%), otitis media (n = 4, 7%), and allergic conjunctivitis (n = 3, 5%). Roughly 10% of patients seen in HOME clinics between September 2020 and September 2021 were seen for OTO disease.

Background: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and allergic rhinitis (AR) are prevalent conditions; however, limited research has investigated their association. This study aimed to evaluate whether AR can be considered a risk factor for developing AITD.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed the records of AITD patients who visited Alexandria University Students Hospital between January 2017 and December 2021.

Objective: To propose a European consensus for managing and treating laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) to guide primary care and specialist physicians.
Methods: Twenty-three European experts (otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons) participated in a modified Delphi process to revise 38 statements about the definition, clinical management, and treatment of LPRD. Three voting rounds were conducted on a 5-point scale and a consensus was defined a priori as agreement by 80% of the experts.

Background: Immature granulocytes can be measured easily in a complete blood count by new automated hemolytic analyzers and have recently been studied as bio-markers in many infectious/inflammatory diseases. This study aims to investigate whether immature granulocyte percentage (IG%) would enable greater discrimination than conventionally utilized laboratory values in terms of early clinical prediction in instances with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis.
Methods: A prospective observational cohort study involved 149 individuals with RSV bronchiolitis.
