Comparison of oral versus intravenous steroid in the management of Bell's palsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024; 281:1095-1104. [PMID: 37940744 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-023-08288-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bell's palsy is a condition affecting cranial nerve VII that results in acute peripheral unilateral facial weakness or paralysis of unclear etiology. Corticosteroids are the primary therapy choice, because they improve outcomes. According to a recent study, prednisolone effectively treats Bell's palsy in the short and long term. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of Single-Dose Intravenous Methylprednisolone to Oral Prednisolone in treating Bell's palsy patients. METHODS PRISMA statement guidelines were used to design and conduct this systemic review. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases were used in our search. We conducted the database search in November 2022. RESULTS Thirty-three publications were reviewed as a result of the literature review. Three studies were included in the meta-analysis after applying our criteria. 317 Bell's palsy patients were included in our study. Regarding complete recovery to grade 1 in 1 month, IV methylprednisolone was higher than oral prednisolone; (log OR = 0.52, 95% CI [0.08, 0.97], P = 0.022). However, at 3 months, the two groups had no significant difference. Patients with grade 4 Bell's palsy were more likely to fully recover to grade 1 in 1 month with IV methylprednisolone than with oral prednisolone (log OR = 0.73, 95% CI [0.19, 1.26], P = 0.008), but not for patients with grade 3 or grade 2 Bell's palsy. CONCLUSION This study shows evidence that patients with Bell's palsy can fully recover to grade 1 in 1 month when IV methylprednisolone is used instead of oral prednisolone. At 3 months, however, there was no discernible difference between the two treatments. Within 3 days of the onset of symptoms, IV methylprednisolone treatment can be started, which may help patients recover fully to grade 1 in 1 month. However, administering IV methylprednisolone may not always have long-term advantages compared to oral prednisolone.

Total laryngectomy and readmission: causes, rates and predictors. BMC Res Notes 2023; 16:377. [PMID: 38124147 PMCID: PMC10731825 DOI: 10.1186/s13104-023-06645-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total laryngectomy (TL) is a complex procedure, and patients undergoing TL are at high risk for readmission, which exposes them to hospital-acquired complications. Readmission rate is a metric for quality of care. We aimed to identify the rate, causes, and predictors of hospital readmission within 60 days after discharge following TL. METHODS This is a 12-year retrospective study where we included all patients undergoing TL in a single tertiary care center between 2008 and 2022. Patient charts were reviewed for demographics, comorbidities, and causes for readmission. RESULTS Of 83 patients who underwent TL, 12 (14.50%) were readmitted within 60 days. Common causes were surgical site infection (33.33%) and mucocutaneous fistula (25%). Significant predictors for readmission were tobacco use (P = 0.003), African ethnicity (P = 0.004), being unmarried (P < 0.001), lower preoperative serum albumin (P < 0.001), higher preoperative TSH (P = 0.03), higher preoperative neutrophil count (P = 0.035), higher American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score (P = 0.028), and higher Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) score (P = 0.029). CONCLUSION One in every seven patients were readmitted following TL. Frequent causes include wound infection and fistulas. Predictors include preoperative hypoalbuminemia, hypothyroidism, African ethnicity, being unmarried, tobacco use, and a higher baseline burden of comorbidities. Such factors can be targeted to reduce hospital readmission rates.

Abstract
Background: Botulinum toxin A (BTA) temporarily paralyzes nearby muscles to reduce tension in wound sites, inhibiting scar hyperplasia. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of BTA injection on scar formation and quality in various face, head, and neck sites. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across four electronic databases and registries to identify relevant studies. We assessed the following outcomes: visual analog scale (VAS), Vancouver scar scale (VSS), scar width, patient self-assessment scale, Stony Brook scar evaluation scales, Observer scar assessment scale, Manchester scar scale, and patient scar-assessment scale. Results: This systematic review included 20 studies encompassing 894 patients, of which, 18 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. The VAS and VSS significantly improved with BTA compared to controls which significantly reduced scar width at the first and second measurement points compared to controls. Subgroup analyses revealed that BTA had better upper lip and forehead outcomes. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that scars of the face, head, and neck were improved with BTA treatment compared to controls. This highlights the need for further study, especially concentrating on the upper lip and forehead regions, where improved outcomes were identified on subgroup analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neck carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is a frequent scenario. Transoral robotic mucosectomies (TORM) of pharynx have increased rate of primary identification, but come with cost of treatment delay. METHODS We reviewed patients who underwent CUP protocol from 2014 to 2020. Patients with cervical nodes carcinoma and failure to localize a primary source were classified as CUP. We determined primary identification rate and postoperative complications. RESULTS We included 65 patients underwent TORM. Surgical approach consisted of lingual and/or palatine tonsillectomies. The primary detection rate was 49.2%. Average weight reduction was 2.5 ± 4.3 kg. The average number of days from consultation to definitive treatment was 52.2 ± 18.3. CONCLUSION A systematic approach to patients with CUP showed a promising primary identification rate compared to panendoscopy alone. TORM carries a small risk of complications. The benefits of primary identification must be weighed with the morbidity and delay to definitive treatment.

Abstract
Static facial sling procedures are one of many facial reanimation options to address long-standing and irreversible facial paralysis. The primary goals of static reanimation are to provide symmetry at rest and improve static function at repose. Choosing the best option depends on patient factors, such as age, comorbidities, and injury factors. Different materials are available for static sling surgery; we believe autologous tendon offers the most reliable and long-lasting results. Static suspension procedures provide immediate results, improved resting position, and can augment other techniques. This article discusses available options for static reanimations to address the eye complex, midface, and mouth.

Abstract
The treatment of patients with HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPV-OPC) is rapidly evolving and challenging the standard of care of definitive radiotherapy with concurrent cisplatin. There are numerous promising de-escalation strategies under investigation, including deintensified definitive chemoradiotherapy, transoral surgery followed by de-escalated adjuvant therapy, and induction chemotherapy followed by de-escalated locoregional therapy. Definitive radiotherapy alone or with cetuximab is not recommended for curative-intent treatment of patients with locally advanced HPV-OPC. The results of ongoing phase III studies are awaited to help answer key questions and address ongoing controversies to transform the treatment of patients with HPV-OPC. Strategies for de-escalation under investigation include the incorporation of immunotherapy and the use of novel biomarkers for patient selection for de-escalation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Very few studies have sought prognostic factors after adrenalectomy for metastasis. The aim of this study was to assess prognostic factors for oncological outcomes after adrenalectomy for adrenal metastasis. METHODS All adrenalectomies for metastases performed in seven centers between 2006 and 2016 were included in a retrospective study. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors for CSS and RFS were sought by Cox regression analyses. RESULTS 106 patients were included. The primary tumors were mostly renal (47.7%) and pulmonary (32.3%). RFS and CSS estimated rates at 5 years were 20.7% and 63.7%, respectively. In univariate analysis, tumor size (HR 3.83; p = 0.04) and the metastasis timing (synchronous vs. metachronous; HR 0.47; p = 0.02) were associated with RFS. In multivariate analysis, tumor size (HR 8.28; p = 0.01) and metastasis timing (HR 18.60; p = 0.002) were significant factors for RFS. In univariate analysis, the renal origin of the primary tumor (HR 0.1; p < 0.001) and the disease-free interval (DFI; HR 0.12; p = 0.02) were associated with better CSS, positive surgical margins with poorer CSS (HR 3.4; p = 0.01). In multivariate analysis, the renal origin of the primary tumor vs. pulmonary (HR 0.13; p = 0.03) and vs. other origins (HR 0.10; p = 00.4) and the DFI (HR 0.01; p = 0.009) were prognostic factors for CSS. CONCLUSION In this study, tumor size and synchronous occurrence of the adrenal metastasis were associated with poorer RFS. Renal origin of the primary tumor and longer DFI were associated with better CSS. These prognostic factors might help for treatment decision in the management of adrenal metastasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Surgical adhesives are increasingly used for vocal fold microsurgery to assist wound closure and reduce the risks of scar formation. Currently used vocal fold adhesives such as fibrin glue, however, have thus far not been found to promote wound closure or reduce scarring. The objectives of this study were to investigate the mechanical strength and the cytotoxicity of three commercially available adhesives (Glubran 2, GEM, Viareggio, Italy; BioGlue, CryoLife, Kennesaw, GA; and Tisseel, Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, IL) for vocal fold wound closure. METHODS Shear and tension tests were performed on 150 porcine larynges. The cytotoxicity of the adhesives to immortalized human vocal fold fibroblasts was investigated using neutral red uptake assays. RESULTS The average shear adhesive strength for Tisseel, BioGlue, and Glubran 2 was 13.86 ± 5.03 kilopascal (kPa), 40.92 ± 17.94 kPa, and 68.79 ± 13.29 kPa, respectively. The tensile adhesive strength for Tisseel, BioGlue, and Glubran 2 was 10.70 ± 6.42 kPa, 34.27 ± 12.59 kPa, and 46.67 ± 12.13 kPa, respectively. The vocal fold cell viabilities in extracts of Tisseel, BioGlue, and Glubran 2 were 99.27%, 43.05%, and 1.79%, respectively. CONCLUSION There was a clear tradeoff between adhesive strength and toxicity. The maximum failure strength in shear or tension of the three surgical adhesives ranked from strongest to the weakest was: 1) Glubran 2, 2) BioGlue, and 3) Tisseel. Tisseel was found to be the least toxic of the three adhesives, whereas Glubran 2 was the most toxic. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 129:2139-2146, 2019.

Multimodal virtual histology of rabbit vocal folds by nonlinear microscopy and nano computed tomography. BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2019; 10:1151-1164.

Abstract
Human vocal folds (VFs) possess a unique anatomical structure and mechanical properties for human communication. However, VFs are prone to scarring as a consequence of overuse, injury, disease or surgery. Accumulation of scar tissue on VFs inhibits proper phonation and leads to partial or complete loss of voice, with significant consequences for the patient's quality of life. VF regeneration after scarring provides a significant challenge for tissue engineering therapies given the complexity of tissue microarchitecture. To establish an effective animal model for VF injury and scarring, new histological methods are required to visualize the wound repair process of the tissue in its three-dimensional native environment. In this work, we propose the use of a combination of nonlinear microscopy and nanotomography as contrast methods for virtual histology of rabbit VFs. We apply these methods to rabbit VF tissue to demonstrate their use as alternatives to conventional VF histology that may enable future clinical studies of this injury model.

Abstract
Background Bacteria are suspected players in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), yet their exact role is not understood. We investigated the effect of planktonic and biofilm of staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) on the mucosa of CRS patients with gram-positive and gram-negative infections by measuring the levels of IL-6 and RANTES, a chemokine with activity on eosinophils and T lymphocytes. Methods Ethmoid mucosa of six CRS patients with gram-positive bacteria on culture and five with gram-negative bacteria were compared to ethmoid mucosa of 8 control patients. The tissue explants were stimulated with SA and PA extracts in planktonic and biofilm form for 6 hours, then RANTES levels were measured by ELISA. Results Compared to the control group, CRS patients with gram-negative predominance demonstrated a significantly higher level of RANTES expression in response to all forms of bacterial stimuli (P-value <0.05). Patients with gram-positive predominance showed a higher level of RANTES compere to control group, however, this difference was not significant (P-value >0.05). Conclusions The mucosa of CRS patients with gram-negative infections has a heightened innate immune response compared to controls and patients with gram-positive infections. It is possible that this response leads to the pathological eosinophilic inflammation seen in CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate surgical field visualization is among the most important factors in preventing complications in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of topical cocaine vs adrenaline on surgical field visualization and intraoperative bleeding during FESS. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 37 patients that underwent FESS for chronic rhinosinusitis were randomized to the side of the nose that received adrenaline or cocaine-soaked patties, and the side that was operated first. The surgeon evaluating the bleeding was blinded to the vasoconstrictor allocation. At the commencement of surgery and at regular 15-minute intervals, the operating surgeon evaluated the extent of bleeding in the operative field according to a validated scale. At each assessment, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, and end tidal CO2 were also recorded. At the end of each side, total blood loss was measured. RESULTS There was no difference in the mean surgical field scores between the adrenaline and cocaine sides (2.04 ± 0.75 vs 2.17 ± 0.7, p = 0.24), nor the total blood loss (p = 0.43). On the cocaine side, there was a correlation between surgical field grade and duration of surgery (p < 0.05) as well as blood loss (p < 0.05) and MAP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION There is no difference in the quality of the surgical field achieved through the use of topical cocaine or adrenaline during FESS. Either of these agents can be effectively used for topical decongestion at the onset of surgery.

Abstract
Restoration of p53 tumor suppressor function through inhibition of its interaction and/or enzymatic activity of its E3 ligase, MDM2, is a promising therapeutic approach to treat cancer. However, because the MDM2 targetome extends beyond p53, MDM2 inhibition may also cause unwanted activation of oncogenic pathways. Accordingly, we identified the microtubule-associated HPIP, a positive regulator of oncogenic AKT signaling, as a novel MDM2 substrate. MDM2-dependent HPIP degradation occurs in breast cancer cells on its phosphorylation by the estrogen-activated kinase TBK1. Importantly, decreasing Mdm2 gene dosage in mouse mammary epithelial cells potentiates estrogen-dependent AKT activation owing to HPIP stabilization. In addition, we identified HPIP as a novel p53 transcriptional target, and pharmacological inhibition of MDM2 causes p53-dependent increase in HPIP transcription and also prevents HPIP degradation by turning off TBK1 activity. Our data indicate that p53 reactivation through MDM2 inhibition may result in ectopic AKT oncogenic activity by maintaining HPIP protein levels.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry of model phenolic ligands (pyrocatechol, salicylic acid, and 2,2'-biphenol) that are able to form respectively five-, six-, or seven-membered rings with titanium(IV) alkoxides is investigated. With pyrocatechol, a polynuclear complex containing 10 Ti atoms was characterized with a not very common doubly bridging mu3-(O,O,O',O') coordination mode. With salicylic acid, a monomeric tris(chelate) complex was obtained. With 2,2'-biphenol, a polynuclear complex containing six Ti atoms was obtained showing both mu2-(O,O') and mu2-(O,O,O') coordination modes for the ligands. Intermolecular interactions in the solid state for these three new compounds are also quantitatively discussed using the partial charge model.
