TI Analysis of Pepsin in Tracheoesophageal Puncture Sites SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY APR 28-29, 2010 CL Las Vegas, NV SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE head and neck cancer; laryngectomy; pepsin; reflux; tracheoesophageal puncture ID LARYNGOPHARYNGEAL REFLUX DISEASE; GASTROESOPHAGEAL-REFLUX; ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY; TOTAL LARYNGECTOMY; CARCINOMA; SPEECH; VOICE; RESTORATION; MANAGEMENT; CANCER AB Objectives: Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) and prosthesis insertion is a well-established method of voice rehabilitation after laryngectomy. Maintenance of the prosthesis and tract can be challenging, and reflux to the TEP site has been proposed as a cause. The sites of TEP were evaluated for the presence of pepsin in tissue biopsy specimens and tract secretions to explore this association. Methods: Patients with TEP were interviewed for a history of symptoms related to reflux, medication use history, TEP voice quality, and incidence of TEP complications. Tissue biopsy specimens and tract secretions were obtained from TEP sites and analyzed for the presence of pepsin via sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Western blot analysis. Results: Twelve of 17 patients (47%) had some history of preoperative or postoperative symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease or laryngopharyngeal reflux. Pepsin was present within the TEP site in a total of 10 of 17 patients (58%; 7 of 17 tissue biopsy specimens and 6 of 7 secretion samples). There were no statistically significant associations between the presence of pepsin and sex, reflux history, use of acid suppressive medicine, or time since laryngectomy. Conclusions: Reflux with subsequent pepsin deposition into the TEP tract occurs in a majority of laryngectomy patients. Further studies on the effect of reflux on the health and function of the TEP tract are warranted.

This TFAP2A gene was recently shown to be involved in the causation of BOF syndrome. An overview of the literature on BOF syndrome is Oven based on clinical reports written in the period during which mutation analysis was not yet available for BOF syndrome. We also give descriptions of the mutations in the TFAP2A gene in our 2 new patients with BOF syndrome. Congenital conductive hearing impairments are described, including hearing rehabilitation and the results of ear surgery. C1 [Thomeer, Henricus G. X. M.; Crins, Tom T. H.; Cremers, Cor W. R.

TI Cochlear Implantation in Children With Congenital X-Linked Deafness Due to Novel Mutations in POU3F4 Gene SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cochlear implantation; congenital X-linked deafness; DFN3; POU3F4 ID SENSORINEURAL HEARING-LOSS; MIXED DEAFNESS; MISSENSE MUTATION; TYPE-3 DFN3; INNER-EAR; IDENTIFICATION; PHENOTYPE; DELETION; BRAIN-4; FAMILY AB Objectives: We report novel mutations in the POU3F4 gene resulting in congenital X-linked deafness DFN3, and describe the results of cochlear implantation in 4 boys (3 siblings) followed for an average of 3.5 years. Methods: The diagnosis of DFN3 was made in infant boys on the basis of the radiologic criteria of an underdeveloped modiolus, a wide cochlear fossette, and the presence of all cochlear turns. The POU3F4 gene was sequenced. A standard, transmastoid, facial recess approach was used for cochlear implantation. A lumbar drain was placed before the operation. Results: The identified mutations in the POU3F4 gene were novel (p.R167X in the 3 siblings) or recently reported (p.S310del). A high-flow cerebrospinal fluid leak through the cochleostomy was encountered in each patient and was ultimately controlled. Although the implants functioned properly, the auditory perceptual abilities did not progress past sound detection in the 3 siblings, or past closed-set word identification in the non-sibling, who achieved better speech perception with contralateral amplification. Three boys (2 siblings) show signs of other learning disorders; 1 boy was too young for a complete assessment. Conclusions: Preoperative gene mutation analysis in DFN3 patients who are considering cochlear implantation may help in long-term counseling and in avoidance of postoperative complications. Limited auditory perception and language acquisition may result. Amplification may sometimes be a better alternative than cochlear implantation, despite the severity of the hearing loss.

Methods: We studied a total of 36 rats. Twelve of the rats served as positive and negative control animals. In the remaining 24 rats, the left RLN was transected, a 1-mm piece of nerve was removed, and the stumps were abutted in silicone tubes (STs), inducing partial RLN regeneration. Twelve of the ST-treated rats underwent this procedure alone, and the other 12 rats had a nerve-muscle pedicle (NMP) implanted into the left TA muscle 5 weeks after ST treatment. At 15 weeks, reinnervation was assessed by histologic evaluation of the TA muscle and by electromyography with stimulation of the RLNs and ACNs. Results: The muscle area, the number of nerve terminals, the number Of acetylcholine receptors, and the ratio of nerve terminals to acetylcholine receptors were significantly greater (p <0.05) in the NMP group than in the ST group. Electromyography elicited TA muscle compound action potentials upon stimulation of the RLNs and ACNs. Conclusions: In rats, NMP implantation is efficacious for reducing atrophic changes in the TA muscle in the presence of partial RLN innervation.

Najmabadi, Hossein TI Mutations in TMC1 Are a Common Cause of DFNB7/11 Hearing Loss in the Iranian Population SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE deletion; DFNB7/11; splice site mutation; TMC1 gene ID DOMINANT; DEAFNESS; DFNA36; IMPAIRMENT; LOCUS; MOUSE; GENE; MODEL; DNA AB Objectives: We investigated the cause of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) that segregated in 2 consanguineous Iranian families. Methods: Otologic and audiometric examinations were performed on affected members of each family. Genome-wide parametric multipoint linkage mapping using a recessive model was performed with Affymetrix 50K GeneChips or short tandem repeat polymorphisms. Direct sequencing was used to confirm the causative mutation in each family. Results: In 2 Iranian families, L-1651 and L-8600606, with ARNSHL that mapped to the DFNB7/11 locus, homozygosity for a reported splice site mutation (c.776+1G>A), and a novel deletion (c.1589_1590delCT; p.S530*) were identified in the TMC1 gene, respectively. Conclusions: Consistent with the previously reported phenotype in DFNB7/11 families, the 2 Iranian families had segregated congenital, profound hearing impairment. However, in family L-1651, one affected family member (IV:3) has milder hearing impairment than expected, suggesting a potential genetic modifier effect. These results indicate that DFNB7/11 is a common form of genetic hearing loss in Iran, because this population is the source of 6 of the 29 TMC1 mutations reported worldwide.

Methods: We performed a chart review of 367 episodes presenting from 1997 through 2008. Results: The mean (+/- SD) age was 51.8 +/- 20.1 years; 65.7% of the episodes occurred in female patients; 62.4% of the episodes were in African American patients. The patients were on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) for 49.1% of the episodes, and an inciting factor (diet change, minor trauma, or exposure to fumes) was present for 21.5%. We found that 75.7% of the episodes were type I angioedema, 5.7% were type 2, 1.4% were type 3, and 17.2% involved multiple sites; 58% of the episodes required admission. For 3.3% of the episodes, the patients were intubated, and in 0.3% of the episodes, the patients required a tracheostomy. Logistic regression identified non African American race, allergies, alcohol use, use of ACE inhibitors or ARBs, multiple sites, and age as associated with the need for admission. Bivariate analysis identified age, multiple affected sites, stridor, hoarseness, dysphagia, and drooling as associated with intubation or tracheostomy. Conclusions: The novel findings of this study are lower rates of airway intervention than reported previously and the fact that multiple affected sites were associated with admission and intubation or tracheostomy, particularly when the edema involved the larynx or hypopharynx.

Our objective was to determine the influence of gender on pharyngeal airway length in obese adolescents, and to apply computational simulations to better understand the effect of pharyngeal airway length on the airway's predisposition to collapse in this select group. Methods: Obese subjects without USA were recruited from our Sleep Center. Their pharyngeal airway length was measured on midline sagittal magnetic resonance images as the distance between the hard palate and the base of the epiglottis. Computational fluid dynamics analysis was used to study the effect of pharyngeal airway length on airflow characteristics. The gentler groups were compared for anthropometric measurements and pharyngeal airway length by an unpaired Student's t-test. Results: Our study group included 18 female and 16 male obese adolescents with a mean (+/- SD) age of 14.7 +/- 2.3 years and a mean body mass index of 38.9 +/- 6.9 kg/m(2). The groups did not differ in age, body weight, or normalized pharyngeal airway length (0.44 +/- 0.08 mm/cm in girls versus 0.44 +/- 0.11 mm/cm in boys; p = 0.9). The computational fluid dynamics simulation indicated that the 3-dimensional flow field and airway wall pressures were not significantly affected by pharyngeal airway lengthening of up to 10 mm. Conclusions: Our results indicate that in obese adolescents, there is no influence of gender on pharyngeal airway length, and pharyngeal airway length alone does not significantly affect the airway's predisposition to collapse. These findings suggest that pharyngeal airway length may not explain the increased male gender predisposition for USA in this select group.

Methods: We objectively assessed the presence of reflux disease using 24-hour dual-probe pH monitoring in 60 laryngectomized patients, correlated the incidence of tracheoesophageal fistula complications with the severity of reflux, and assessed the risk of problems by determining the absolute number of reflux events at the level of the speech fistula, the reflux area index score, and the DeMeester score. Results: All patients with fistula enlargement showed highly pathological results in the diagnostic tests for reflux disease. Depending on reflux severity, the relative risk of developing fistula complications was up to 10 times higher for these patients. Conclusions: We found a significant correlation between the occurrence of tracheoesophageal fistula complications and the severity of supraesophageal reflux. Potential chronic irritation of the esophageal and tracheal mucosa can possibly contribute to the development of these problems. If the presence of reflux disease has been confirmed by 24-hour dual-probe pH monitoring, patients with fistula complications should be treated with proton pump inhibitors.

Methods: In our prospective analysis in a tertiary-care academic hospital, 25 laryngectomees were divided into 2 groups: 11 speaking individuals with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis and a control group of 14 nonspeaking laryngectomees. All patients were subjected to manometry during voice and speech emission tests. We determined the pressures achieved in the distal, middle, and proximal parts of the esophagus. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that the amplitude of pressure in the distal esophagus during sound emission was higher in speaking laryngectomees; in the middle esophagus, intraluminal pressure during emission of the sentence was higher in speaking subjects, and in the proximal esophagus there was no difference between the groups. Conclusions: During the manometric evaluation of the distal and middle esophagus in the presence of voice and speech emission, the intraluminal pressure revealed a significant difference for the speaking laryngectomees with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis. The proximal esophagus behaved similarly in the groups of speakers and nonspeakers. Speaking laryngectomees with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis depend on a differentiated performance of the middle and distal parts of the esophagus.

Methods: We performed a prospective, Institutional Review Board approved study of 30 patients undergoing attempted endoscopic repair of Zenker's diverticulum. Three categorical variables (sex, presence of maxillary dentition, and Mallampati score) and 6 continuous variables (age, neck circumference, hyomental distance, neck length, neck extension, and body mass index [BMI]) were collected before operation and then correlated to successful endoscopic exposure of the Zenker's pouch by use of a Fisher's exact test and Student's t-test, respectively. Results: Exposure was unsuccessful in 9 of 30 patients (30%). Factors that correlated significantly with exposure failure included a shorter neck length (7.2 +/- 1.2 cm; p = 0.047), a shorter hyomental distance (5.0 +/- 1.1 cm; p = 0.004), and a higher BMI (27.2 +/- 4.0 kg/m(2); p = 0.05). The presence of maxillary dentition did not reach significance in exposure failure, but did show a trend toward an association. Conclusions: Surgical exposure in endoscopic repair of Zenker's diverticulum tends to be significantly less successful in patients with short necks, decreased hyomental distance, and/or a high BMI. An open approach should be considered in this patient population.

Therefore. AAb has the potential to preserve voice in patients with bilateral abductor laryngeal paralysis. Methods: I performed a retrospective review of AAb in 11 patients with bilateral laryngeal paralysis and 3 patients with other neurologic causes of glottal airway compromise, ie, adductor breathing dystonia, frequent laryngospasm, and progressive laryngeal breathing dysfunction. Results: Seven of the 11 patients with bilateral paralysis had dramatic airway improvement. One patient required a tracheotomy after AAb, and 3 patients with an existing tracheotomy could not be decannulated. Arytenoid abduction relieved airway obstruction in the patient with recurrent laryngospasm and in the child with progressive laryngeal breathing dysfunction, but the patient with adductor breathing dystonia has persistent stridor. The factors associated with a poor airway outcome included prolonged tracheotomy, electromyographic evidence of inspiratory activity of adductor muscles, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sleep apnea, and prior cordotomy or arytenoidectomy. Conclusions: Arytenoid abduction is most effective in patients with bilateral laryngeal paralysis of less than 1 year's duration who do not have unfavorable laryngeal adductor activity.

The concept of "united airway allergy" has become widely accepted in the past decade. We evaluated the relationship between the upper and lower airways during follow-up after endoscopic sinus surgery by monitoring sinonasal and pulmonary functions. Methods: Thirty-nine subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis associated with bronchial asthma were entered in this study. A self smell test using stick-type odorant materials was carried out daily to evaluate postoperative recurrence of sinonasal disease. Each patient was assessed for peak expiratory flow (PEP) 3 times daily. Results: The average (+/- SD) scores of initial symptoms were 8.3 +/- 2.2, which was significantly decreased to 1.5 +/- 1.4 by 3 months after operation. During postoperative follow-up, 25 of 39 patients showed no decrease in PEF, whereas the other 14 patients had at least 1 episode of a significant decline in PEP. In the postoperative course, with respect to the self smell test, 24 patients showed no aggravation of smell, but 15 patients had episode(s) of decreased olfaction. Twelve patients demonstrated worsening on the smell test concomitant with a decreased PEF. A discrepancy between olfactory acuity and pulmonary function was recognized in 5 patients. There were 22 patients with a good prognosis of parameters of both the upper and lower airways. Conclusions: Daily monitoring of both upper and lower respiratory tract functions clearly revealed dual relationships, indicating that worsening of sinusitis accompanies asthma exacerbation. Appropriate measures of the upper and lower airways following endoscopic sinus surgery can be used to predict patient outcome.

Methods: Patients with recurrent or chronic tonsillitis, including tonsillar hyperplasia, were randomized to undergo tonsillectomies using either a traditional cutting technique or the Coblation technique. Patients and staff on the relevant wards were blinded regarding patient allocation. Pain, odynophagia, and activity limitations were recorded on a visual analog scale. Analgesics were self-administered, and daily analgesic consumption by patients was reported. All complications were also registered. Results: Fifty-seven patients (between 6 and 57 years of age) completed the study. No significant difference was found between the two techniques with regard to reported pain, odynophagia, activity limitations, or use of analgesics. A slight tendency toward decreased pain and decreased use of analgesics in the Coblation group reached statistical significance only when the adult patients were analyzed separately. Two cases of hospital readmission occurred because of postoperative bleeding following Coblation tonsillectomies. Conclusions: Overall, the two methods are equivalent in terms of postoperative pain, including the use of analgesics. The risk of postoperative bleeding after the Coblation method requires further evaluation with specifically designed studies.

Results: A total of 28 patients (39 ears) underwent stapedotomy or stapedectomy, and 5 patients (5 ears) had a syndromal diagnosis. Overall, we observed a mean gain in air conduction threshold of 21 dB (from 46 to 25 dB) and a mean postoperative air-bone gap of 14 dB (mean preoperative air bone gap, 36 dB). The postoperative air-bone gap was 10 dB or less in 46% of cases, in agreement with results reported in the literature. Moreover, the audiometric results remained stable. In the group of ears with a syndrome, the mean gain in air conduction threshold was only 12 dB (range, -13.8 to 32.5 dB), which was a worse outcome than that in the nonsyndromic ears. Conclusions: Surgery for isolated congenital stapes footplate ankylosis provides satisfactory audiometric outcomes. The postoperative air-bone gap was 10 dB or less in 18 of the 39 ears (46%) and 20 dB or less in 29 of the 39 ears (74%). Most ears had some sensorineural impairment (10 to 20 dB), which influenced the final hearing level after surgery. Preoperative assessment is mandatory to search for syndromal diagnoses, which might be important for patient counseling and prognosis. C1 [Thomeer, Henricus G. X.

Methods: Twenty-two cases of LP were included. Multisystem manifestations, pharyngolaryngeal behaviors, and histopathologic and genetic characteristics were evaluated. Results: All patients presented with hoarseness as the first sign. The onset was in the newborn period in 14 cases. Video-laryngoscopy revealed irregularities along the edges and the surface of the vocal folds with diffuse yellowish deposits. In 18 cases, the oral and pharyngeal mucosa showed yellow-white infiltrates. In all cases, whitish moniliform papules were observed on the upper eyelids. In 18 cases, pocklike scars were present on the face and limbs. Histologically, there were diffuse depositions of hyaline material in the submucosa and dermis that were positive on periodic acid Schiff staining and negative on Congo red staining. Two patients had homozygous mutations in ECM1 exon 6 and exon 8, and 13 patients had heterozygous mutations in ECM1 exons. Nine patients underwent microlaryngosurgery for excision of deposits in the vocal folds. The voice function was significantly improved after operation. Conclusions: Persistent hoarseness from early infancy with laryngeal involvement is the most common feature of LP. Histopathologic characteristics and skin and mucosa changes aid in the diagnosis. Microlaryngosurgery may improve the voice function. Compound heterozygote mutations may be frequent in LP in nonconsanguineous Chinese families.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from 30 individuals with unilateral deafness and 30 individuals with normal hearing (age, 14 to 75 years) were obtained through structured interviews and tests of audiovisual, auditory-only, and visual-only speech perception. Results: In individuals with permanent unilateral deafness, 93% reported that hearing loss affected communication. Eighty-seven percent reported problems with speech perception in noisy settings. Other consequences were feelings of exclusion, reduced well-being, and extensive use of speech perception strategies. Inducing temporary unilateral deafness (through short-term blocking of one ear) in normal-hearing subjects produced similar effects on speech perception (27% score) as those experienced by unilaterally deaf subjects (25% score). Conclusions: Individuals with unilateral deafness experienced a significant disability in auditory function that affected their communication and social interaction. The major challenges were communicating in situations with background noise, in poor acoustic surroundings, and with limited access to speech-reading or direct listening. Under certain listening conditions, long-standing unilateral deafness seemed to yield no advantage over temporary deafness on one side.

Methods: A retrospective review was carried out of all patients who between June 2005 and April 2009 underwent microlaryngoscopy and excision of vocal fold lesions by the senior author using a microdebrider. The patients' demographics, past medical history, preoperative and postoperative videostroboscopy findings, and surgical pathology findings were reviewed. Results: Eight patients were identified. All were female and had a mean age of 44 years (range, 21 to 54 years). Four patients had a unilateral pseudocyst, 2 patients had bilateral pseudocysts, 1 patient had bilateral Reinke's edema, and I patient had unilateral Reinke's edema. Through an incision made just lateral to the lesion on the superior surface, a small microdebrider blade was inserted and run at 800 to 1,000 revolutions per minute in oscillation mode with low wall suction until the lesion was completely excised, and the overlying, epithelium was left intact. Postoperative videostroboscopic examination of the larynx revealed an absence of lesions and near-complete glottal closure in all patients. Seven of the 8 patients reported an improvement in voice. Conclusions: Microdebrider excision of subepithelial vocal fold lesions is feasible. The patients with Reinke's edema had slightly more residual edema, a decreased epithelial wave, and less improvement in voice as compared to the patients with pseudocysts. Meticulous technique, low oscillation speeds, and low wall suction are necessary to avoid injury to the overlying epithelium. C1 [Cheng, Alex Y.; Soliman, Ahmed M.

A 12-year-old boy was impaled in the orbit with a gate latch. Neurosurgical consultation ascertained that removal via bifrontal craniotomy would necessitate extensive brain retraction and result in permanent anosmia. Attempting nasal endoscopic removal was deemed prudent, given this morbidity and a lack of brain parenchymal violation. The patient recovered without a cerebrospinal fluid leak or other neurologic sequelae. To date, craniotomy is the only reported management of POCFBs in the literature.

Methods: We carried out an Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study in a voice clinic within a tertiary-care pediatric medical center. We studied children seen between 2000 and 2009 with a primary diagnosis of vocal fold nodules as the cause of their voice disturbance. Pediatric vocal fold nodule size was rated with a published validated scale, and voice quality was rated on the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice scale. Results: One hundred forty-five patients met the inclusion criteria. Small nodules were noted in 23% of patients, medium nodules in 39%, and large nodules in 37%. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between vocal fold nodule size and rated perceptual qualities of overall severity of voice disturbance, roughness, strain, pitch, and loudness. With the exception of loudness, as vocal fold nodule size increased, the mean value of perceptual characteristics became larger. The age of the patient was a significant factor associated with the overall severity of the voice disturbance and roughness. Conclusions: The overall severity of a child's voice disturbance and qualities of roughness, strain, pitch, and loudness have a strong correlational relationship with pediatric vocal fold nodule size, which is suggestive of causality.

However, the clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and polysomnographic findings of OSAS in children are likely to be different from those in adults. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics that distinguish the clinical manifestations and polysomnographic findings of OSAS in children from those in adults. Methods: The study population consisted of 34 children (mean age, 7.6 years; range, 4 to 16 years) with OSAS and 33 adults (mean age, 40.1 years; range, 18 to 58 years) with OSAS. We compared various clinical manifestations, such as body mass index, tonsil size, severity of symptoms and signs, and polysomnographic data, between these groups. Results: Obesity was more common among the adults, whereas tonsillar hypertrophy was more common among the children. There were significant differences between the groups in the severity of symptoms and signs, including witnessed apnea, daytime sleepiness, morning headache, memory reduction, and daytime fatigue. In the children with OSAS, slow-wave sleep was relatively well preserved, and respiratory events such as apnea and hypopnea occurred mainly during rapid eye movement sleep. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations and polysomnographic findings in children with OSAS differ from those in adults with OSAS.

Methods: The study analyzed 409 patients with PTAs treated between 1984 and 2008. The patients included 304 male and 105 female patients between 2 and 85 years of age (median age, 30 years). Immediate tonsillectomy was performed in 371 of the PTA patients (90.7%). The incidence of bilateral PTAs and candidate predictive factors for bilateral PTAs were reviewed, including age, duration of PTA symptoms, history of recurrent tonsillitis, history of PTAs, deviation of the uvula, body temperature on admission, white blood cell count on admission, and C-reactive protein level on admission. Results: Bilateral PTAs were found in 24 of 371 patients (6.5%). Younger age, absence of a deviated uvula, and a higher C-reactive protein value were the clinical features associated with bilateral PTAs in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The occurrence of bilateral PTAs was not rare; this fact has to be taken into consideration in discussing therapeutic concepts. The clinical features of bilateral PTAs suggested that bilateral PTAs might be a part of the natural history of PTAs, and that they occur in cases in which there is a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Further study is necessary to confirm the causation of bilateral PTAs. C1 [Watanabe, Tetsuo; Suzuki, Masashi] Oita Univ, Fac Med, Dept Otolaryngol, Yufu City, Oita 8795593, Japan.

TI Atypical and Disparate Presentations of Laryngeal Sarcoidosis SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dysphagia; dysphonia; granuloma; larynx; sarcoidosis; upper airway ID INVOLVEMENT AB Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic granulomatous disease of unknown cause that typically affects patients between 20 and 40 years of age. Laryngeal involvement most frequently involves the supraglottis and presents with dyspnea. We present a retrospective review of 4 patients with previously undiagnosed sarcoidosis who presented with atypical signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis: dysphonia with isolated vocal fold involvement; cough and globus pharyngeus; pediatric sarcoidosis; and severe bilateral vocal fold paresis and dysphagia. Our aim is to highlight disparate presentations of laryngeal sarcoidosis, as well as the treatment options. Laryngeal sarcoidosis may present with atypical signs and symptoms and occasionally presents in pediatric patients. A high degree of suspicion is necessary for a correct diagnosis in these patients. Early diagnosis and proper management of laryngeal sarcoidosis is important, as the symptoms are debilitating and possibly life-threatening. Treatment may consist of local and systemic chemotherapy, and adjunctive procedures. C1 [Pitman, Michael J.] New York Eye & Ear Infirm, Dept Otolaryngol, New York, NY 10003 USA.

Welch, David TI Childhood Hearing and Its Relationship With Tinnitus at Thirty-Two Years of Age SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE childhood; hearing; otitis media; tinnitus ID CHILDREN; DEPRESSION; DISORDERS; SUFFERERS; EAR AB Objectives: Tinnitus is associated with hearing loss in adulthood, often resulting from noise or age, but it is not known whether children's hearing and/or middle ear health predispose them to tinnitus in adulthood. Methods: The participants were members of the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, born in Dunedin, New Zealand, between April 1972 and March 1973. The base sample consisted of 1,037 children. Otitis media was assessed at 5, 7, and 9 years of age; audiometry and tympanometry findings were recorded at 11 years of age, and a detailed description of the tympanic membrane was made at 15 years of age. At 32 years of age, 970 of the 1,015 living study members (96%) answered questions about tinnitus. Results: Children who had otitis media and a raised audiometric threshold went on to experience more tinnitus in adulthood than did those without middle ear disease or those who had otitis media without a raised threshold. In those who had recovered from otitis media, audiometric threshold elevation at lower and higher frequencies was associated with experiencing tinnitus in adulthood. Neither childhood otitis media alone nor elevated thresholds alone predicted adult tinnitus. Conclusions: Childhood otitis media with an associated hearing loss in the low and high frequencies was associated with a greater probability of experiencing tinnitus in adulthood.

Methods: Cell proliferation was evaluated by Mib-1 antibody against Ki-67 antigen in 41 patients with cancer of the parotid or submandibular glands, including 14 acinic cell carcinomas, 12 ductal carcinomas, 7 mucoepidermoid carcinomas, 5 carcinomas ex pleomorphic adenoma, 1 adenoid cystic carcinoma, I undifferentiated carcinoma, and I polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma. Results: Patients with Ki-67 values of more than 15% and those with Ki-67 values of 15% or less differed both in disease-free survival (p < 0.001) and in overall survival (p < 0.001). We evaluated the association between Ki-67 and time to recurrence in correlation to age, sex, ductal histotype, and N stage; the Cox regression model was significant (p = 0.013). In the group of patients with T1 and T2 cancers, those with Ki-67 values of 15% or less had better survival rates than did those with Ki-67 values of more than 15% (p = 0.004). In the group of patients with NO cancers, those with Ki-67 values of 15% or less had a better survival than did those with Ki-67 values of more than 15% (p < 0.001). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study to stratify different risk classes in early T1-T2 or NO malignant tumors of the major salivary glands that identified aggressive lesions with elevated Ki-67 expression at an initial stage.

TI Cooling the "Oven": A Temperature Study of Air and Glottal Tissue During Laser Surgery in an Ex Vivo Calf Larynx Model SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cooling; laser; microlaryngoscopy; thermal damage; vocal cord; vocal fold ID CARBON-DIOXIDE LASER; CHORIOALLANTOIC MEMBRANE; CLINICAL EXPERIENCE; THULIUM LASER; SOFT-TISSUE; YAG LASER; CO2-LASER; PAPILLOMATOSIS; TRACHEA; LESIONS AB Objectives: Endoscopic microlaryngeal laser surgery performed with general anesthesia through a laryngoscope speculum generates heat that accumulates at the distal lumen, creating an "oven" effect and potentially causing bystander thermal damage to nontarget tissue such as the contralateral vocal fold. We report the effects of cooling on air and tissue temperatures that occurred during simulated laryngeal laser surgery with KTP and thulium lasers in an ex vivo calf model. Methods: Ten fresh excised calf larynges were studied at room temperature. Laser energy was applied to one vocal fold for 2 minutes, with or without cooling, while temperatures were monitored with sensors placed within the glottal lumen or inserted superficially into the contralateral vocal fold. A pulsed KTP laser (525 mJ) was used for 5 larynges, and a thulium laser (7 W, continuous) was used for the other 5 larynges. Results: Heating was slightly greater for the KTP laser than for the thulium laser with use of these parameters. The lumen temperatures for both lasers increased an average of 13.2 degrees C without cooling, but only 6.7 degrees C with cooling (p < 0.05). The contralateral vocal fold (subepithelial space) temperature increased an average of 6.8 degrees C without cooling, but only 4.2 degrees C with cooling (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Cooling with room-temperature air during laryngeal laser surgery reduces luminal air and contralateral vocal fold temperatures. This effect is believed to be due to elimination of the plume of steam and smoke that significantly heats surrounding structures.

In a previous canine investigation, we demonstrated that bFGF improves phonation threshold pressure, mucosal wave amplitude, and histologic measures in vocal folds treated after injury. In the present study, we studied the effects of bFGF on gene expression of the extracellular matrix and growth factors in rat vocal fold fibroblasts. Methods: Fibroblasts harvested from the vocal folds of 5 rats were treated with 3 concentrations of bFGF (0, 10, and 100 ng/mL). The fibroblasts were collected at 24 hours and 72 hours after bFGF administration. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was then used to investigate the gene expression of the investigated growth factors and extracellular matrices. Results: The results revealed significantly down-regulated expression of procollagen I and significantly up-regulated expression of hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) 2 and fibronectin in fibroblasts treated with bFGF. The administration of bFGF also resulted in the up-regulation of bFGF and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). No changes in the expression of HAS-1, tropoelastin, or procollagen III were observed between the treatment and control conditions. Conclusions: Treatment with bFGF induces the down-regulation of procollagen I and the up-regulation of HAS-2 in vocal fold fibroblast cell cultures. These gene expression alterations to key mediators of the wound healing process may translate into potential benefits in the remediation of vocal fold injury. The up-regulation of HGF, an antifibrotic effector molecule, may demonstrate additional benefits by optimizing the wound healing environment and by accelerating the wound repair cascade. These findings may provide fuel for additional discoveries into the development of growth factor therapy for the treatment of vocal fold scar.

However, the prefabricated artificial trachea cannot be utilized for pediatric airways, because the tracheal frame needs to expand as the child develops. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells for the regeneration of the tracheal wall. Methods: We cultured iPS cells in a 3-dimensional (3-D) scaffold in chondrocyte differentiation medium (bioengineered scaffold model), and the results were compared with those in a 3-D scaffold without iPS cells (control scaffold model). The 3-D scaffolds were implanted into tracheal defects in 8 nude rats. After 4 weeks, the regenerated tissue was histologically examined. Results: Implanted iPS cells were confirmed to exist in all 5 rats implanted with bioengineered scaffolds. Cartilage-like tissue was observed in the regenerated tracheal wall in 2 of the 5 rats in the bioengineered scaffold model, but in none of the 3 rats in the control scaffold model. Conclusions: Implanted iPS cells were confirmed to exist in the bioengineered scaffold. Cartilage-like tissue was regenerated in the tracheal defect. This study demonstrated the potential of iPS cells in the regeneration of the tracheal wall.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study spanning the years 1980 to 2005. Results: Eighteen patients were identified. The average age at diagnosis was 6 months (range, 1 day to 2.5 years). The presenting symptoms included weak cry, stridor, airway obstruction, and difficulty breathing. Associated cardiac defects consistent with the diagnosis of 22q-syndrome were present in 7 patients. Webs were classified as grade I (5 patients), grade II (2 patients), grade III (10 patients), or grade IV (1 patient) according to the Cohen classification. In 5 patients, only endoscopic lysis was required. The remaining 13 patients underwent open procedures; 9 patients in this group required tracheotomy. An average of 1.3 open airway procedures was necessary to achieve a decannulation rate of 89%. After operation, 34% of patients had residual webbing and 20% had a weak or aphonic voice. Conclusions: Management of laryngeal webs is dependent on the severity of airway obstruction. Grade I and II webs can be treated endoscopically; more severe laryngeal webs usually require tracheotomy and open airway reconstruction.

The aim of this study was to quantify the inflammatory process and the collagen content of the graft, as well as that of the host tissue, after placement of a strip of PAT into the rabbit vocal fold. Methods: Surgeries were performed on 30 rabbits. The grafts were implanted in pockets that were surgically created in the right vocal fold. The left vocal fold (control group) was subjected only to surgical manipulation. The animals were divided into 3 groups for evaluations at 15 days, 3 months, and 6 months, and their larynx tissues were subsequently reviewed by histology. Results: The grafts were characterized by disorganized and thick collagen bundles and were identified in all study groups. The collagen density stayed constant over time. There was an acute inflammatory response induced by the graft at 15 clays that did not exist in the specimens taken at 3 and 6 months. Deposition of collagen fibers in the lamina propria was observed starting at 15 days after the operation and was more intense in the experimental vocal fold than in the control vocal fold. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that PAT has a low tendency for promoting an inflammatory response. However, there was a loss of the original architecture of the graft tissue and a greater deposition of collagen in the implanted vocal folds than in the control group.

Most commonly, it extrudes through the laryngeal introitus, but rarely, it extrudes through the pyriform sinus. A case report in which 2.5 feet (76 cm) of polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex) was removed from an 80-year-old female patient is presented to evaluate factors that led to this surgical complication and strategies that solved the problem. Because of the patient's multiple medical problems, initial removal of the foreign body was attempted in the office with topical anesthesia. When the Gore-Tex was noted to be lodged in the laryngeal parenchyma, it was severed at the edge of the pyriform sinus to stabilize the airway. Subsequently, microlaryngoscopic-controlled completion removal was done in the operating room with general anesthesia. The patient healed uneventfully with no further sequelae. Analysis of this case illustrates a number of factors leading to a rare iatrogenic foreign body complication. Office-based removal of the Gore-Tex implant evolved into a unique scenario in which the rapid use of a fiber-based laser to divide the foreign body facilitated stabilizing the airway to allow for elective completion removal in a controlled fashion.

Adenoidectomy, however, is only effective in half of these children. Although endoscopic sinus surgery is effective for CRS, there is concern for facial growth retardation and major complications. We propose that balloon catheter sinuplasty (BCS) is a minimally invasive, effective procedure in the treatment of pediatric CRS. Methods: We undertook a nonrandomized, controlled, prospective review of children with failed medical management of CRS who underwent BCS or adenoidectomy. Outcomes were assessed at 1 year of follow-up and were based on SN-5 scores and the need for revision surgery. Results: Forty-nine children who satisfied the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Thirty of the children had BCS. The age range was 4 to 11 years (mean, 7.7 years), and the mean computed tomography score (Lund-Mackay system) was 7.5. Twenty-four of the 30 patients (80%) who underwent BCS showed improvement of their symptoms after 12 months of follow-up, compared with 10 of the 19 patients (52.6%) who underwent adenoidectomy (p < 0.05). A multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis with age, sex, asthma, and computed tomography score as covariables showed that BCS was also more effective than adenoidectomy in older children. None of the other variables showed statistical significance. Conclusions: Balloon catheter sinuplasty offers a procedure that is more effective than adenoidectomy and less invasive than endoscopic sinus surgery in the treatment of pediatric CRS.

Disability and Health (ICF) in subjects with Meniere's disorder in relation to their quality of life. Methods: We asked 228 members of the Finnish Meniere Federation to report the effects that Meniere's disorder had on their lives. The replies were classified on the basis of the ICF classification and related to the EuroQol 5D score and disease-specific impact. Logistic regression and decision tree analyses were used to determine the relationships. Results: Seventy percent of the patients listed impairments, 39% activity limitations, 47% participation restrictions. 16% effects On environmental contextual factors, and 28% effects on personal contextual factors. The EuroQol 5D score was explained by reported vertigo, anxiety, fatigue, restriction of life, and communication problems. The disease-specific impact was explained by episodes of vertigo, fatigue, communication problems, inability to work, restriction of life, and uncertainty of life. Both analysis models provided the same outcome variables, although the decision tree separated the results better (80%) into correct classes than did logistic regression analysis (60%). Conclusions: Self-reported participation restriction, activity limitation, and personal contextual factors describe the limitations of general life in subjects with Meniere's disorder. The use of the ICF classification provides an instrument that can be used in enablement of subjects with Meniere's disorder.

This trend is particularly concerning because of the significant rates of morbidity and mortality associated with MRSA infections, and because MRSA strains are often resistant to many classes of antibiotics. Reports of infections of the head and neck, including wound infections, cellulitis, sinusitis, otitis media, and otitis externa, are well documented. However, to our knowledge, there have been no reports of bacterial laryngitis due to MRSA. We report the first published case of bacterial laryngitis caused by MRSA.

Methods: Thirteen individuals undergoing office-based injection laryngoplasty for glottal phonatory insufficiency were prospectively studied with a battery of acoustic, aerodynamic, endoscopic, and anterior neck sEMG assessments before the procedure and approximately 1 week afterward. Results: Anterior neck sEMG values were not significantly reduced (p < 0.05) after the procedure; however, perceptual ratings of strain and false vocal fold compression were both significantly reduced, reflecting a decrease in vocal hyperfunction. Conclusions: The results do not support the use of anterior neck sEMG measures to assess vocal hyperfunction, and place into question the use of some other measures (estimates of anterior-posterior supraglottic compression, quantitative measures of anterior-posterior and false vocal fold supraglottic compression, and acoustic vowel rise times) that have been considered reflective of vocal hyperfunction.

Methods: Weigert's resorcin-fuchsin stain after oxidation with 10% oxone was used to study the arrangement of elastic fibers. The findings were categorized and afterward compared with the severity of Reinke's edema. Results: Analysis of 20 specimens of vocal folds with Reinke's edema showed that the network of thin elastic fibers in Reinke's space lost their undulated appearance and had a tangled aspect. In addition, these fibers were no longer parallel to the epithelial basement membrane, but had a random distribution scattered throughout Reinke's space. The elastic fiber network immediately below the epithelial basement membrane also appeared more fragmented in Reinke's edema because of some alteration in organization combined with the 5-mu m-thick histologic sectioning plane. No significant difference in the degree of elastic system fiber disarrangement was observed between severity grades II and III (p = 0.382). Large areas of disarrangement were predominant (80% of cases). Conclusions: The disarrangement of elastic fibers in Reinke's edema may cause insufficient tissue resistance and resilience, contributing to the hypermobility observed in Reinke's edema.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of acoustic neuroma associated with each configuration Of the pure tone audiogram in patients with asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of 500 patients 15 years of age or older who had asymmetric SNHL and had undergone magnetic resonance imaging. Results: The prevalence of acoustic neuroma in these patients was 2.6% (13 of 500). The prevalence of acoustic neuroma in each audiometric configuration was as follows: 7.1% (3 of 42) for a basin-shaped loss (odds ratio [OR] versus overall prevalence, 2.88; p = 0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79 to 10.54), 4.7% (5 of 107) for a flat loss, 3.4% (2 of 58) for total deafness, 2.9% (1 of 34) for a high-frequency sloping audiogram, and 2.5% (2 of 81) for a high-frequency steep audiogram. The prevalence in patients with nonimproving idiopathic sudden deafness was 8.1% (OR, 3.29; p = 0.06; 95% CI. 1.13 to 9.55). Conclusions: In conclusion, 2.9% to 8.1% of patients with a characteristic configuration of the pure tone audiogram and symptoms of nonimproving or progressive idiopathic sudden deafness may have acoustic neuroma.

Methods: We studied a retrospective case series at an academic tertiary care children's hospital. We included all patients under the age of 18 years with subglottic or tracheal stenosis treated at our institution with balloon dilation between June 2007 and April 2009. The records were analyzed for patient demographics, presenting symptoms, surgical technique, and airway description. The outcome measures were airway diameter, postoperative symptoms, tracheotomy status. and complications. Results: Ten patients (9 with subglottic stenosis and I with tracheal stenosis) underwent 20 balloon dilation procedures without complication. The average age at the time of the procedure was 17 months (range, 3 months to 9 years). The patient presenting symptoms were stridor in 7 cases and tracheotomy in 3 cases. Vascular balloons (diameter range. 6 to 12 mm; length. 20 mm) were inflated to 10 to 12 cm H(2)O pressure for an average of 40 seconds (range, 10 to 120 seconds). Each procedure consisted of 1 to 3 dilation cycles. The immediate postdilation airway area increased by an average factor of 4.9 (range, 1.9 to 9). Six patients had repeat procedures with an average interval between dilations of 67 days (range, 6 to 337 clays). Stridor was eliminated or greatly improved in all patients on the first postoperative day; 7 patients sustained this benefit, with an average follow-up time of 10 months (range. 4 to 23 months). Six of the 10 patients had undergone previous laryngeal reconstruction (age range, 3 months to 4 years). Of these 6. 3 have no tracheotomy, with a mean follow-up of 12.5 months. The 3 children who benefited the least from dilation were noted to have more diffuse and chronic inflammation of the larynx in comparison to the responders. Conclusions: This case series suggests that balloon dilation is a relatively safe and effective procedure. It may be particularly well suited to recent stenosis after laryngotracheal reconstruction.

The pure tone average was 60 dB, with an air-bone gap of 50 dB. The stapedial reflex was positive with the probe on the affected ear. Computed tomography scans revealed a longitudinal fracture of the temporal bone and a dislocated stapedial superstructure in the tympanic cavity, adhering to the tympanic membrane. During surgery, it was found that the stapes was broken at the base of the posterior crus and at the anterior one third of the footplate and that the stapedial superstructure was dislocated outward and downward, with the anterior one third of the footplate adhering to the tympanic membrane. The stapedial tendon was connected to the superstructure. Ossicular chain reconstruction was performed with success. In the present case, two mechanisms may have acted together: 1) an increase in perilymphatic pressure that caused the footplate to fracture, and 2) a distorting force that broke the posterior crus, disconnecting the incudostapedial joint, and finally dislocating the stapedial superstructure together with the anterior part of the footplate.

Our objective was to investigate the usefulness of barium swallow studies for the diagnosis of LPRD. Methods: The subjects were 59 patients at least 60 years of age with LPRD suspected on laryngoscopic findings. We evaluated esophageal clearance using a barium swallow study and the upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopic findings of gastroesophageal reflux disease according to the revised Los Angeles classification, and correlated these findings with the effect of rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor. Results: Among subjects with positive reflux findings in the esophageal phase of the barium swallow, rabeprazole was significantly effective (p = 0.0025). To identify nonerosive reflux disease, we analyzed the 50 cases with a negative Los Angeles classification of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopic findings. Rabeprazole was again significantly effective in patients with positive findings for esophageal reflux (p = 0.0025). Conclusions: Among elderly patients with suspected LPRD, there was a positive correlation between impaired esophageal clearance on the barium swallow study and the effectiveness of rabeprazole. The barium swallow study could be a screening test for LPRD in elderly patients with throat discomfort.

Methods: Sliding epiglottoplasty as described and advocated by Sedlacek, Bouche, Kambic, and Tucker for reconstruction in partial laryngectomies was used to close the defects after laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy in 17 patients with advanced hypopharyngeal cancers as primary therapy (16 patients) and as post-radiochemotherapy therapy (1 patient). Results: All reconstructions were successful. Primary closures were achieved without additional morbidity, there were no pharyngocutaneous fistulas, and all patients resumed deglutition. Ten patients acquired esophageal speech, speech valves were inserted in 5 cases, and 2 patients required the use of an electrolarynx. Conclusions: If the oncoloaical circumstances allow its preservation in laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy, the epiglottis is an ideal structure for closing the defect; it is a local tissue with shape, thickness, rigidity, and borders that match the recipient site. In comparison to distant pedicled or free microvascular flaps, the epiglottoplasty is a shorter procedure, requires a smaller surgical team, results in less trauma, has a lower incidence of complications, and enables faster recovery. It is surprising that this elegant, successful, and generally accepted larynx preservation procedure has not been recognized as useful for larger reconstructions.

Methods: We performed a chart review of patients who presented to our medical center in the past 10 years with a diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis specifically affecting cranial nerve X. Results: A chart review of 53 patients revealed only 4 with findings suggestive of vagal neurosarcoidosis. All were male and had a mean age of 50 years (range, 42 to 57 years) at presentation of symptoms. Two of the 4 patients presented initially with cough, I had recurrent syncope, and another presented with left facial pain. Vagus nerve involvement included vocal fold paresis or paralysis in all 4 patients, 2 of whom reported coughing with exposure to various odors and 2 of whom were found to have a unilateral palatal weakness. All but I had positive findings on magnetic resonance imaging of the head. Conclusions: Neurosarcoidosis involving the vagus nerve is a rare finding, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vocal fold paresis or paralysis.

Methods: One hundred sagittally hemisected cadaveric heads were examined. The degree of pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus was determined. Bulging and dehiscence of the internal carotid artery (ICA), optic nerve, maxillary nerve, and vidian nerve were examined, and the distances between these structures and the anterior or superior wall of the sphenoid sinus were measured. Additionally, the degree of bony thickness over these structures was determined. Results: The prevalences of bulging of the optic nerve, segments 1 and 3 of the ICA, and the maxillary and vidian nerves were 56%, 34%; 65%, 41%, and 52%, respectively. The greater the degree of pneumatization, the more frequently did the structures bulge into the sphenoid sinus. The optic nerve was found to be in close proximity to the anterior and superior walls of the sphenoid sinus. The bone over the surrounding structures was very thin, especially for the complete sellar type. Conclusions: The prevalence of bulging of the optic nerve, the ICA, and the maxillary and vidian nerves increased in proportion to the degree of sphenoid sinus pneumatization.

Methods: The characteristics of this implant allow cochlear implantation using a minimal incision, a subperiosteal pocket, and fixation with two titanium screws, without drilling a custom-fitted seat or creating suture-retaining holes in the skull. The fixation system relies on two tailfins for use of osseo-integratable screws, incorporated into the cochlear implant housing. The first version of this fixation system was modified after a case of device migration: the size of the titanium insert inside the silicone tailfin was increased. Data on 156 patients (8 months to 86 years of age) from a 4-year period in 6 cochlear implantation centers were retrospectively evaluated. Ten patients have undergone bilateral implantation. Results: Of 166 implantations, 4 postoperative infections and 1 device failure after head trauma were reported. No cerebrospinal fluid leaks or epidural hematomas were reported. One device migration was observed in the first series; no device migrations occurred in the second series. Conclusions: The fixation system with screws embedded in the Digisonic SP involves a fast and simple surgical technique that seems to efficiently prevent implant migration.

The percentage of children who had normal PSG parameters after adenotonsillectomy ranged from 69.0% to 86.9% because of fluctuation of the criteria used to define OSAS. Nine children (30%) with severe preoperative OSAS had persistent OSAS (an AHI of at least 5) after surgery. Improvements in QOL were comparable in the cured and not-cured groups (p > 0.05). Risk factors for persistent OSAS were obesity and a high preoperative AHI, on multiple logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: Adenotonsillectomy is associated with improvements in PSG, behavior, and QOL in children with OSAS. However, it may not resolve OSAS in all children. The efficacy and role of additional therapeutic options require more study.

Methods: We performed a retrospective case study of 130 cases of petrous bone cholesteatoma submitted to surgery between 1979 and 2009 to identify the complex cases and their classification, approach used, outcomes, and recurrences. Results: Of 130 cases, 13 were complex. Facial palsy was the presenting feature in 11 cases, 7 of which presented with grade VI palsy. A long duration of facial palsy (more than 3 years) was seen in 5 cases. Clival involvement was seen in 6 cases: 1 case extended to the sphenoid sinus, and 1 to the rhinopharynx. The internal carotid artery was encased in 11 cases in the vertical and the horizontal parts. The jugular bulb was involved in 7 cases. Modified transcochlear approaches or infratemporal fossa approaches were used in all cases. There were no recurrences. Conclusions: Classification is fundamental to choosing the right surgical approach. Transotic and modified transcochlear approaches hold the key to treating complex cases. Infratemporal fossa approach type B has to be used for extension into the clivus, sphenoid sinus, or rhinopharynx. Internal carotid artery, jugular bulb, and siemoid sinus involvement should be identified before operation.

The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of bacteremia in patients undergoing adenoidectomy, to identify the causative organisms, and to compare the incidences of bacteremia between the two techniques suction diathermy and curettage. Methods: A prospective single-blind randomized trial was performed. Sixty-four patients between the ages of 2 and 13 years who were undergoing adenoidectomy were included in the study. Exclusion criteria included antimicrobial therapy in the immediate preoperative period and concurrent respiratory tract infection or pyrexia. Patients were randomized in the anesthetic room to either suction diathermy or curettage. Venous blood samples for culture were obtained 30 seconds after the procedure began (intraoperative sample) and 2 minutes after removal of the adenoid tissue (postoperative sample). Postoperative complications were recorded, and all patients were followed in the outpatient department. Results: Twenty-six patients underwent adenoidectomy by suction diathermy, and 38 underwent adenoidectomy by curettage. In the suction diathermy group, 38.5% of intraoperative and 19.2% of postoperative blood cultures had a positive result for bacteremia. In the curettage group, 31.6% of intraoperative and 23.6% of postoperative blood cultures had a positive result for bacteremia. There was no significant difference between the two groups. The techniques were equivalent in terms of postoperative complications. Gram-positive cocci were the most commonly isolated organisms. Conclusions: A transient bacteremia exists after pediatric adenoidectomy, but does not correlate with symptoms or signs. Neither suction diathermy adenoidectomy nor curettage adenoidectomy offers a particular advantage in terms of decreasing the incidence of bacteremia.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE nasal polyp; secretion; sinusitis without polyposis; viscid secretion ID PATHOGENESIS; FIBROBLASTS; EPITHELIUM; EXPRESSION AB Objectives: We compared histologic findings on light microscopy of viscid secretions found in association with nasal polyps with those found in patients with chronic sinusitis without polyposis (CSWP). The differences might further understanding of nasal polyp pathogenesis. Methods: In a prospective controlled study, viscid secretions found in association with nasal polyps were collected at endoscopic sinus surgery. Retained secretions in patients with CSWP acted as a control group. Both were fixed in 10% formalin, processed, and examined with a light microscope. Results: Viscid secretions were encountered among nasal polyps in 25 of 132 patients (18.9%). Polyps containing multiloculated cysts filled with viscid secretions were found in 2 of them. Histologic examination of viscid secretions showed variable histologic pictures, ranging from a homogeneous material infiltrated with inflammatory cells, newly formed blood vessels, and bundles of collagen fibers to a well-developed connective tissue core covered with a respiratory epithelium in some areas. Histologic examination of retained secretions in patients with CSWP revealed amorphous material infiltrated with inflammatory cells with no further maturation or epithelial coverage. Conclusions: Viscid secretions, originating from ruptured mucosal cysts, might represent the initial step in nasal polyp pathogenesis. The variable histologic pictures detected possibly reflect different stages in nasal polyp formation from these secretions. Factors postulated in nasal polyp etiopathogenesis might trigger maturation and changes in the morphological structure of these secretions.

Methods: We transplanted into Balb/C mice, locally by transnasal injection and systemically via the tail vain, BrdU-labeled bone marrow stem cells, also known as NRGs, which have the ability to differentiate into neural cells. Bone marrow stem cells engrafted into the olfactory epithelium were examined immunohistochemically. Results: Compared with previous studies, in which bone marrow was transplanted rather than bone marrow stem cells, migration of transplanted bone marrow stem cells into the olfactory epithelium was observed earlier, and engraftment rates were significantly higher. However, migrated bone marrow stem cells were positive for GAP43 but not for olfactory marker protein. Conclusions: These results suggest that engrafted cells had differentiated into premature, but not mature, ORNs. Further experiments using autologous bone marrow stem cells in combination with various growth factors and/or neurotrophic factors should aid the development of new therapeutic methods for degenerated ORNs.

Methods: We enrolled in the study 448 children who underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging. We included 292 patients who had no sleep disorders or any associated symptom that could be related to breathing disorders. Using midsagittal and axial images, we evaluated the variations in size of the upper airway tissues. Results: On images from the midsagittal plane, the normative values of the length and the thickness of the soft palate, the length and height of the tongue, the distance between the mental spine and the clivus, the thickness of the adenoid pad and the nasopharyngeal area, the adenoid pad oblique width, the soft palate oblique width, and the tongue oblique width were obtained for several age groups. Using images from the axial plane at the level of maximal tonsillar cross-sectional area, we measured the normative values of the mean tonsillar width and intertonsillar space. Conclusions: Magnetic resonance imaging is an excellent method of assessing upper airway structures. Knowledge of variations in size of the upper airway and surrounding tissues is essential in determining the significance of incidental findings in this area.

TI Myiasis of the External and Middle Ear SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE myiasis; otalgia; otorrhea; tinnitus; tympanoplasty ID AURAL MYIASIS AB Aural myiasis is a rare otolaryngological disease typically seen in poor hygienic conditions and medically disabled patients. We present a case of aural myiasis in a healthy woman who had no apparent risk factors for infestation and required extensive surgical intervention. We also discuss the literature of documented otolaryngological cases of myiasis and effective therapies. In our patient, symptoms of otalgia, otorrhea, and tinnitus resolved after multiple attempts at extraction resulted in successful eradication of larvae. The patient required tympanoplasty to reconstruct the damaged external and middle ear. Physicians should have a clinical suspicion of aural myiasis in patients with a travel history and an atypical presentation of acute otalgia and otorrhea.

Methods: Six subjects with unilateral vocal fold paralysis participated in the study (4 male, 2 female; mean [+/-SD] age, 52.5 +/- 21.3 years). Videokymographic and laryngotopographic methods for image analysis were performed for highspeed recordings of vocal fold vibration for visualizing the glottal vibratory patterns, and for quantifying the frequency of vibration of each vocal fold, respectively. Comparisons of the paralyzed and the normal vocal folds were made before and after arytenoid adduction. Results: Analysis of the laryngotopographs revealed 2 distinct frequencies of vibration for the paralyzed and the contralateral vocal folds for all subjects before surgery. After arytenoid adduction, the vibration frequencies became identical or nearly identical in all subjects. Conclusions: Asymmetric vibration in vocal fold paralysis was exemplified by differences in vibration frequency between the vocal folds. The present data showed that after arytenoid adduction the vibration frequencies and the vibratory patterns of the contralateral vocal folds approached symmetry. This surgical procedure could improve the functional symmetry of the larynx for phonation.

TI Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids in Patients With Acquired and Congenital Unilateral Inner Ear Deafness (Baha CROS): Clinical Evaluation of 56 Cases SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Baha CROS; unilateral deafness ID AMPLIFICATION; SATISFACTION; BENEFIT; SPEECH AB Objectives: We performed an evaluation of the audiological and subjective benefits of the bone-anchored hearing aid (Baha) as a device for transcranial routing of sound (Baha CROS) in 56 patients with unilateral inner car deafness. Methods: We performed a prospective clinical follow-up study in a tertiary referral center. Previously reported results of 29 patients were supplemented with a second series of 30 patients with unilateral inner ear deafness; 3 patients dropped out during the evaluation. Audiometric measurements were taken before and after Balm CROS fitting. Subjective benefits were quantified with 4 different patient questionnaires. Results: The sound localization results in a well-structured test setting were not differentiable from chance. The 5 patients with congenital hearing loss showed better scores in the unaided sound localization measurements. Overall, most patients reported some subjective improvement in their capacity to localize sounds with the Baha CROS in daily life. The main effect of the Baha CROS was to alleviate the head shadow effect during the speech-in-noise test. Conclusions: Poor sound localization in this larger series of patients confirms the findings of previous studies. Improvements in the speech-in-noise scores corroborated the efficacy of the Balm CROS in alleviating the head shadow effect. The 4 different patient questionnaires revealed subjective benefit and satisfaction in various domains. C1 [Hol, Myrthe K. S.; Kunst, Sylvia J. W.; Snik, Ad F.

In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between eosinophil density in nasal polyps and the postoperative recurrence rate of this disease. Methods: Forty-two patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for massive nasal polyposis by one surgeon were included in the study. The eosinophil leukocyte densities in nasal polyps were determined retrospectively on histologic slides by use of computer-assisted image analysis software. The patients were assigned to group 1, in whom nasal polyps contained up to 3 eosinophils per 1,000 mu m(2), and group 2, in whom nasal polyps contained 4 or more eosinophils per 1,000 mu m(2). The postoperative recurrence rates of nasal polyps were compared in the two groups. Results: There were 20 patients in group 1 and 22 patients in group 2. Postoperative polyp recurrence was detected in 5 of 20 patients (25.0%) in group 1 and in 18 of 22 patients (81.8%) in group 2 during the 30-month postoperative follow-up period (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The eosinophil density of nasal polyps can be used to get an estimate of the postoperative recurrence risk. Eosinophil-rich nasal polyps have a higher postoperative recurrence rate.

TI Vocal Function Exercises for Presbylaryngis: A Multidimensional Assessment of Treatment Outcomes SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dysphonia; presbylaryngis; vocal function exercise; voice analysis ID AGE-RELATED-CHANGES; VOICE PRODUCTION; DISORDERS; QUALITY; FOLD AB Objectives: Presbylaryngis, or aging of the larynx, can adversely affect vocal function and quality of life in the elderly. This preliminary investigation examined the effects of vocal function exercises, a physiologic voice therapy approach, as a primary treatment for presbylaryngis. Methods: Nine consecutive elderly patients with presbylaryngis (2 female, 7 male) underwent a 6-week course of voice therapy employing vocal function exercises. Pretherapy-versus-posttherapy comparisons were made of self-ratings of voice handicap and phonatory effort level, as well as auditory-perceptual voice assessments, acoustic analyses, and visual-perceptual evaluations of laryngeal images. Results: After treatment, patients reported significant reductions on Voice Handicap Index scores, phonatory effort levels, and voice disorder severity. Blinded listeners rated the posttreatment voices as significantly less breathy and strained. However, comparison of pretreatment and posttreatment maximum phonation times, acoustic measures, and laryngeal images did not reveal significant changes. Conclusions: These preliminary data suggest that vocal function exercises produce significant functional and perceptual improvements in voice, and deserve further attention as a treatment for elderly patients with presbylaryngis.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who had previously undergone endoscopic frontal sinus surgery and had persistent sinusitis. All patients then underwent balloon dilation of the frontal ostium. Outcome measurements included endoscopic patency of the frontal ostium, Lund-Mackay scores, culture-positive postoperative infections, and subjective persistence of symptoms. Results: Twenty-four frontal ostia and recesses were dilated in 13 patients. The mean follow-up was 13 months (range, 7 to 19 months). During follow-up, 21 of 24 ostia (86%) remained patent and 3 required additional procedures. Postoperative computed tomography scans were performed an average of 12 months after dilation (range, 6 to 18 months) in 9 patients (17 sinuses). The average Lund-Mackay score was 1.35 before dilation and 0.87 at follow-up (p = 0.0076), with 41% of sinuses (7 of 17) displaying radiographic improvement. The average number of postoperative infections was 2.07 (range, 0 to 7). Frontal headaches persisted in 38% of patients (5 of 13) at follow-up. Conclusions: Balloon dilation of the frontal Ostia has a posttreatment patency rate comparable to those of other endoscopic revision techniques. Although it may not fully address the frontal sinus disease of all patients, it is a less invasive technique that may be helpful for some patients. C1 [Wycherly, Benjamin J.; Manes, R.

TI Hemoglobin Monitoring in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE hemoglobin; radiotherapy ID SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA; PROGNOSTIC VALUE; ANEMIA AB Objectives: Anemia is a well-recognized factor for local recurrence and decreased survival in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Additionally, lower hemoglobin (Hb) levels have a negative impact on radiotherapy efficacy and response rates. The objective of this audit was to investigate how frequently Hb levels were observed in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy within a multidisciplinary team setting. Methods: We performed a retrospective first-cycle audit in a university hospital in Glasgow that is a tertiary referral center for head and neck cancer. Included were 78 patients with head and neck cancer who were undergoing radiotherapy. Online laboratory services and clinical case sheets were checked for each patient to monitor the frequency of observation of Hb levels before, during, and after radiotherapy. Results: Of these 78 patients, only 49 had their Hb level checked before radiotherapy treatment, only 9 during radiotherapy, and only 27 after completion of radiotherapy treatment (p < 0.0001). Of the 49 patients with preradiotherapy Hb levels available, 24% were found to be anemic; none of these patients had their Hb monitored during radiotherapy, and only 4 had Hb levels recorded after completion of treatment. Conclusions: This audit has highlighted that despite evidence emphasizing that anemia in cancer is an independent prognostic factor for recurrence, there is no formal protocol for Hb monitoring in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The audit has also demonstrated that Hb monitoring is infrequently performed and that subsequent observation of the Hb level is suboptimal.

Methods: We reviewed all HNC patients with a diagnosis of CBS seen at our tertiary cancer hospital from 1994 to 2009 and performed a retrospective review of all English-language studies documenting CBS cases within the past 15 years. Results: Eight patients with HNC developed CBS at our institution, and another 132 HNC patients were presented in 21 studies. Patients with CBS typically have a history of radiotherapy (89%), nodal metastasis (69%), and neck dissection (63%). This disease usually occurs proximal to the carotid bifurcation and is commonly associated with soft tissue necrosis in the neck (55%) and mucocutaneous fistulas (40%). Half of CBS patients present with sentinel bleeding, but 60% of patients will develop a life-threatening hemorrhage requiring emergent intervention. Over 90% of patients with CBS were treated with endovascular therapy, and surgical ligation was rarely indicated. The morbidity and mortality rates of patients with CBS are significant; only 23% have survived without evidence of disease. Conclusions: Carotid blowout syndrome is uncommon and can be rapidly fatal without prompt diagnosis and intervention. Although endovascular treatment within the carotid system can have a significant risk of mortality and neurologic morbidity, it has become the treatment of choice for CBS.

Specifically, these parameters were compared within two groups: patients who underwent powered intracapsular tonsillectomy (PIT) and those who underwent monopolar electrocautery tonsillectomy (MET). Methods: In a retrospective review of 579 patients at least 12 years of age from January 2000 to July 2006 in a tertiary referral center, outcome measures of reoperation for hemorrhage, readmission or emergency room visit for dehydration, and postoperative tonsillitis were compared for 200 patients 12 to 19 years of age and 379 patients more than 19 years of age. These outcome measures in teens were compared to those in adults who had tonsillectomy by the same technique (101 teens who underwent PIT compared to 117 adults who underwent PIT, and 99 teens who underwent MET compared to 262 adults who underwent MET). Outcome measures were also compared within the PIT and MET groups based on the indication for surgery (chronic tonsillitis, tonsillar hypertrophy, or both). Results: In comparing teens to adults who underwent the same technique (PIT versus PIT, or MET versus MET), no statistically significant differences existed in the incidence of hemorrhage, dehydration, or postoperative tonsillitis. Greater hemorrhage rates for adults who underwent MET compared to teens, however, almost met statistical significance (p = 0.053). Analyzing complication rates by indication within the PIT and MET groups exclusively revealed higher rates of hemorrhage in adults who underwent the MET technique for the indication of chronic tonsillitis. Within the PIT comparison, no significant differences were found on the basis of indication for surgery. Conclusions: Teenage patients who undergo tonsillectomy should be considered unique as far as complication rates are concerned. Comparison of technique-specific complication rates between adults and teens showed no significant differences in either the PIT or MET groups, although adults who underwent MET had greater hemorrhage rates that almost met significance (p = 0.053). Adults who were undergoing tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis were more likely than teens to encounter postoperative hemorrhage if they underwent the MET technique.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart analysis of 23 consecutive patients with congenital cholesteatoma. Results: The proportion of cases with anterior-superior quadrant involvement was significantly lower in the Asian group than in Western patients. The total residual rate was 26%, and there was a positive association between stage and residual rate, ranging from 0% in stage I and II to 44% in stage IV. Canal wall-up tympanomastoidectomy was the most frequent procedure (57%), and 61% had reexploration. Conclusions: Congenital cholesteatoma in Asia is less likely to involve the anterior-superior quadrant than in Western patients. The 4-stage system was useful for predicting residual rates, even in patients in whom anterior-superior quadrant involvement was less common. Postoperative hearing was significantly related to the stages. A routine second-look procedure may be unnecessary in the early stages, whereas reexploration would be better performed in advanced stages. Endoscopy might reduce residual disease and the need for reexploration in the near future.

Methods: Thirty-one albino guinea pigs with a normal Preyer's reflex were used. Burow's solution was applied and allowed to remain on the round window membrane for 30 minutes (30-minute group), 1 hour (1-hour group), or 2 hours (2-hour group). Seven days later, the left temporal bone was removed. Auditory brain stem responses were recorded at 4, 8, and 20 kHz before application of Burow's solution and again immediately before decapitation. The cochlea and utricle were dissected, stained with rhodamine-phalloidin, and examined under a fluorescence microscope. Results: The postoperative auditory brain stem response thresholds at 20 kHz in the I-hour group and those at 8 and 20 kHz in the 2-hour group were increased significantly compared to the baseline thresholds. Surface preparations of the organ of Corti revealed no hair cell loss in the 30-minute group, loss of outer hair cells in the lower half of the basal turn in half of the animals in the 1-hour group, and loss of outer hair cells in the basal turn in almost all animals in the 2-hour group. In the 2-hour group, the microthin sections of the round window membrane showed degeneration of the outer epithelium. Conclusions: The retention of Burow's solution on the round window membrane for 2 hours induces degeneration of the outer epithelium and damage to the cochlear outer hair cells.

Methods: Videokymographic and laryngotopographic analysis was performed for high-speed digital recordings of vocal fold vibration for visualizing the glottal vibratory patterns, and for quantifying the frequency of vibration of each vocal fold, respectively, including comparisons between the paralyzed and normal vocal folds before and after surgery. This included prospective observations of 11 subjects with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (4 male, 7 female; mean +/- SD age, 67.1 +/- 12.0 years) using high-speed digital image analysis before and after collagen injection. Results: Analysis of the laryngotopographs revealed 2 distinct frequencies of vibration for the paralyzed and contralateral vocal folds for 8 of the 11 subjects before surgery. After collagen injection, the vibration frequencies became identical, despite asymmetric vibration amplitudes. Asymmetric vibration amplitudes were also observed in the other 3 subjects before surgery, but the amplitudes became symmetric after collagen injection, despite a persistent phase shift. Conclusions: Asymmetric vibration in vocal fold paralysis was exemplified by differences in vibration frequency and amplitude between the vocal folds. The present study showed that after collagen injection, these aspects of vibratory patterns improved toward symmetry. This surgical procedure could improve the functional symmetry of the larynx for phonation.

TI High-Resolution Manometry of Pharyngeal Swallow Pressure Events Associated With Head Turn and Chin Tuck SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dysphagia; high-resolution manometry; pharyngeal pressure; swallowing maneuver ID SUPRAGLOTTIC SWALLOW; EFFORTFUL SWALLOW; SIMULTANEOUS VIDEORADIOGRAPHY; VIDEOMANOMETRIC ANALYSIS; DYSFUNCTION; VOLUNTEERS; MANEUVERS; ROTATION AB Objectives: We quantified the effect of swallowing maneuvers on pharyngeal pressure events using high-resolution manometry. Methods: Seven subjects swallowed multiple 5-mL water boluses in 3 different postural conditions: neutral, head turn. and chin tuck. Pressure and timing events were recorded with a 36-sensor high-resolution manometry catheter. We analyzed the regions of the velopharynx and the base of the tongue for maximum pressure. rate of pressure increase, pressure gradient, and duration of pressure above baseline. In the region of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), we analyzed the duration of pressure declination, minimum pressure during UES opening, and maximum pressures before and alter LIES opening. Results: The maneuvers did not have a significant effect on maximum pressure, rate of pressure increase, or pressure gradients in the velopharyngeal or tongue base regions. The duration of pressure above baseline was significantly longer in the velopharynx for head turn. The preswallow maximum LIES pressure was significantly greater for neutral swallows than for head turn, and the postswallow maximum pressure was significantly lower for chin tuck. Both mane users appeared to prolong LIES pressure declination duration, but neither prolongation reached significance. Conclusions: High-resolution manometry allows for optimal spatial and temporal resolution during recording of pressure events along the length of the pharynx, and revealed previously undetected task-dependent pressure and timing differences during chin tuck and head turn in healthy adults. These maneuvers appear to influence the UES to a greater degree than the velopharynx or the tongue base. Further studies designed to quantify the effect of other maneuvers and bolus consistencies on the generation of pharyngeal pressure events both in normal and in disordered subjects may lead to hypothesis-driven, optimal, individualized swallowing therapies.

After a procedure with the canal wall-down technique, a cavity remains that is sometimes difficult to clean, collects crust, and becomes repeatedly infected. Such problematic mastoid cavities can he eliminated by filling the created cavity surgically after thorough removal of mucous membranes and cleaning of the bone. Methods: We treated 7 patients with cavities after canal wall-down surgery for the treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media or cholesteatoma by filling the difficult-to-clean cavity in the mastoid cell area with granules of bioactive glass (BAG) S53P4 to avoid further retraction formation, The area with BAG was carefully closed with a musculoperiosteal flap. Results: After the canal wall down tympanomastoidectomy, the mastoid cavities were successfully filled in all 7 patients. No biomaterial-associated infection was seen, and no disadvantages for the patients due to the BAG were observed. The cavity in the mastoid cell area decreased in size in all patients treated. Conclusions: This BAG seems to be a promising material for filling mastoid cavities after canal wall-down tympanomastoidectomy.

Methods: Twenty-one children (4 to 18 years of age) who were seen in the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center for Pediatric Voice Disorders and identified as using supraglottic phonation were included in this study. According to standard protocol. each of these children underwent acoustic, aerodynamic, and perceptual analyses and laryngeal imaging. Their medical records were reviewed for surgical history. Results: Four primary supraglottic compression patterns and 3 distinct sound sources for voice were identified. Signal type classification revealed that 20 of 21 voice signals were either type II or type III. Signal type was moderately associated with compression pattern (p = 0.01). No statistically significant findings were found in testing the Consensus Auditory Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) Overall Severity score against compression patterns and vibration source. The mean Strain scores for participants who used a combined source of vibration were significantly higher than for those who used their ventricular folds. Conclusions: The compensatory compression patterns and alternate sources of vibration used by these children resulted in moderate to severe dysphonias. How children compensate after undergoing airway reconstruction has important implications for behavioral and surgical interventions aimed at improving voice quality. Not all aspects of traditional voice evaluation are suitable for this population.

Our aims were 1) to document overall and site-specific dysphagia, stricture, and pneumonia rates in a Medicare population, 2) to calculate treatment-specific rates and adjusted odds of developing these complications, and 3) to track changes in rates between 1992 and 1999. Methods: Head and neck cancer patients between 1992 and 1999 were identified in combined Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry and Medicare databases. Multivariate analyses determined odds of dysphagia, stricture, and pneumonia based on modality. Results: Of 8,002 patients, 40% of experienced dysphagia, 7% stricture, and 10% pneumonia within 3 years of treatment. In adjusted analyses, patients treated with chemoradiation had more than 2.5-times-greater odds of dysphagia than did those treated with surgery alone. Combined therapy was associated with increased odds of stricture (p < 0.05). The odds of pneumonia were increased in patients treated with radiation with or without chemotherapy. Temporally, the dysphagia rates increased 10% during this period (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Sequelae of head and neck cancer treatment are common and differ by treatment regimen. Those treated with chemoradiation had higher odds of experiencing dysphagia and pneumonia, whereas patients treated with any combined therapy more commonly experienced stricture. These sequelae represent major sources of morbidity and mortality in this population.

The present study sought to establish normative data of swallowing muscular activity as measured by surface electrodes in order to compare the performance of patients with dysphagia to normal swallow performance. Methods: Thirty normal young (18 to 25 years of age) and elderly (60 or more years of age) subjects swallowed 3 bolus volumes (5,10, and 20 mL) in 2 conditions: swallow-to-command and swallow-when-ready. Swallow muscular activity was measured in microvolts with a portable biofeedback unit. Results: There were significant differences between the 2 swallowing conditions in both age groups. Neither age nor bolus volume had a significant effect on the findings. Conclusions: In using surface electromyography biofeedback as an adjunct to swallowing rehabilitation, it may be more beneficial to use swallow-to-command techniques if one is interested in measuring maximum effort, regardless of patient age or volume selected.

Most manifest clinically with tinnitus, unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and dysequilibrium secondary to compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve; major adverse events such as intratumoral hemorrhage causing acute neurologic deterioration are rare. We report the case of a 69-year-old man with a large vestibular schwannoma who required anticoagulation for several medical comorbidities. The patient began having progressively worsening neurologic symptoms, including facial nerve paralysis and dysequilibrium, which confined him to a wheelchair. After presentation, the patient was admitted to the hospital. Several days after alteration of his anticoagulation therapy in preparation for surgery, he developed intracranial hemorrhage. Attempts were made to stabilize the patient, including posterior fossa craniectomy and evacuation of hematoma; however, the intracranial hemorrhage ultimately resulted in a fatal outcome. During this procedure, a biopsy specimen was obtained, showing benign vestibular schwannoma. The literature for intratumoral hemorrhage into vestibular schwannoma and the pathologic findings in our case are reviewed.

Methods: Between December 1991 and August 2008, 229 patients underwent encloscopic sinus surgery or the CaldwellLuc procedure for paranasal sinus fungus ball treatment. From 123 of these patients, a total of 124 specimens were obtained for aerobic and anaerobic culture. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed. Results: Ninety-one cultures (73.4%) were positive for bacteria, and 33 showed no bacterial growth. A total of 134 bacterial organisms were isolated: 65 gram-positive, 55 gram-negative, and 14 anaerobic. The most frequently isolated organisms were coag,ulase-negative.S.tapkvlococcus (14.9%), Staphylococcus (wrens (12.7%), Enterobacter aerogenes (12.7%), viridans-group streptococci (8.9%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.2%). Among the gram-positive cocci, 12.2% were resistant to ciprofloxacin, 27.6% to clindamycin, 30% to oxacillin, 35.8% to erythromycin, 35.9% to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 56.5% to penicillin, 56.8% to gentamicin, and 0% to teicoplanin and vancomycin. Among the gram-negative rods, fewer than 100/c were resistant to imipenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, amikacin, gentamicin, ceftazidime, cefepime, and tobramycin, whereas more than 80% showed resistance to ampici I lin and cefazolin. When we compared the data from the periods 1991 to 2000 and 2(101 to 2008, there were no significant differences in the isolation rates of particular bacterial species and no significant differences in resistance rates except for clindamycin-resistant gram-positive cocci and cefazolin-resistant gram-negative rods. Conclusions: Bacterial coinfections were identified in more than two thirds of patients with fungus balls and purulent secretions. This finding suggests that bacterial infection may influence the development and persistence of clinical symptoms in a substantial portion of fungus ball cases.

The current study is part of research endeavors aimed at applying systems biology approaches to address the complex biological processes involved in the pathogenesis of vocal fold scarring and other lesions affecting the larynx. Methods: We developed a computational agent-based model (ABM) to quantitatively characterize multiple cellular and molecular interactions involved in inflammation and healing in vocal fold mucosa after surgical trauma. The ABM was calibrated with empirical data on inflammatory mediators (eg, tumor necrosis factor) and extracellular matrix components (eg, hyaluronan) from published studies on surgical vocal fold injury in the rat population. Results: The simulation results reproduced and predicted trajectories seen in the empirical data from the animals. Moreover, the ABM studies suggested that hyaluronan fragments might be the clinical surrogate of tissue damage, a key variable that in these simulations both is enhanced by and further induces inflammation. Conclusions: A relatively simple ABM such as the one reported in this study can provide new understanding of laryngeal wound healing and generate working hypotheses for further wet-lab studies.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of electrical stimulation of both sensory and parasympathetic nerves innervating the nasal mucosal arteries on NBF in rats. Methods: In anesthetized rats, nasociliary (sensory) nerves and postganglionic (parasympathetic) nerves derived from the right sphenopalatine ganglion were electrically stimulated. We measured NBF with a laser-Doppler flowmeter. Results: The nerve stimulation increased NBF on both sides and increased the mean arterial blood pressure. The increase in NBF was larger on the ipsilateral side than on the contralateral side. Hexamethonium bromide, a ganglion blocker, abolished the stimulation-induced pressure effect and the increase in NBF on the contralateral side, but did not abolish the increase in NBF on the ipsilateral side. The remaining increase in NBF was abolished by NG-nitro-L-arginine, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. Histochemical analysis with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase showed neuronal nitric oxide synthase containing nerves that innervate nasal mucosal arteries. Conclusions: Nitric oxide released from parasympathetic nitrergic nerves may contribute to an increase in NBF in rats. The afferent impulses induced by sensory nerve stimulation may lead to an increase in mean arterial blood pressure that is partly responsible for the increase in NBF.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of a consecutive case series in a single surgeon's practice within an academic tertiary care medical center. Twenty-five patients underwent surgical resection of a CBT from 1989 to 2009. From 1989 to 1996, 10 consecutive patients had PSE of the CBT, whereas the subsequent 15 patients (1996 to 2009) had no PSE. Demographic data including age, sex, and tumor size were collected. The EBL was obtained from intraoperative records and operative notes dictated at the time of surgery. Tumor size was based on preoperative radiographic measurements by a senior radiologist and the surgeon. Results: In the 10 patients with PSE, the mean age was 41 years (range, 22 to 72 years) and the mean tumor size was 4.8 cm (range, 2.9 to 8.3 cm). The mean EBL was 305 mL (range, 50 to 1,000 mL); 2 patients had an EBL of more than 400 mL. In the 15 patients without PSE, the mean age was 43.7 years (range, 20 to 75 years) and the mean tumor size was 4.4 cm (range, 2.8 to 7.9 cm). The mean EBL was 265.6 mL (range, 40 to 900 nth); 2 patients had an EBL of more than 400 mL. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with regard to age, tumor size, or EBL.

One of the uncommon complications of ingested foreign bodies is penetration and migration of the object, which may lead to serious morbidity and/or death. This study will evaluate the presentation, complications, and management of different sites of penetration. Methods: We present a retrospective study of a series of 11 patients who presented with a penetrating foreign body of the upper aerodigestive tract in the past 10 years. Results: All of the patients had radiologic evidence of a foreign body, but negative findings on rigid endoscopy. A computed tomographic scan was done to confirm the presence of a penetrating foreign body. The foreign body was lodged in the extrapharyngeal tissue in 6 patients, was lodged in the upper thyroid pole in 2 patients, had penetrated a Zenker's diverticulum in 2 patients, and had migrated to the thoracic retroesophageal tissue in 1 patient. All patients underwent extraction of the foreign body by an external approach. Conclusions: Although the occurrence is rare, impacted foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract can perforate and migrate into the soft tissue of the neck. In the presence of negative findings on endoscopy, a computed tomographic scan of the neck is essential for the prompt diagnosis and management of perforating foreign bodies.

If left untreated, laryngeal VMs can lead to life-threatening airway obstruction. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic management of laryngeal VMs with the Nd:YAG laser. Methods: We performed a 12-year retrospective review in a tertiary referral center. Patient records were reviewed for demographics, presenting symptoms, area of involvement, age at first Nd:YAG laser therapy, total number of treatments, time between treatments, and treatment response. Results: Seventeen patients were treated endoscopically with an Nd:YAG laser for laryngeal VMs. The mean age at first treatment was 23.0 years (range, 18 to 45 years). The majority of patients presented with obstructive sleep apnea (58.8%), and 17.5% of patients presented with acute airway obstruction or stridor. The remaining patients presented with minor symptoms, including chronic cough and voice changes. The VMs involved the supraglottis, glottis, or both in 29%, 35%, and 35% of patients, respectively. An average of 4 treatments were required per patient (median, 3.5; range, 1 to 9). The time between treatments increased with each consecutive laser therapy, starting at a mean of 3.8 months between the first and second treatments to 21.7 months between the third and fourth. A marked reduction in VM size and symptom improvement were achieved in each patient after Nd:YAG therapy. Two complications (3%) were encountered among 66 total procedures. Conclusions: Endoscopic management of VMs using an Nd:YAG laser appears to be both effective and relatively safe. Multiple treatments are often required, but increased time can elapse between consecutive therapies. Use of the Nd:YAG laser for laryngeal VMs helps avoid tracheotomy and open surgical resection.

Methods: We analyzed 155 cases of pediatric meningitis without other entities causing hearing loss in children admitted to Saitama Children's Medical Center between 1990 and 2005 for potential risk factors for hearing loss, using multiple logistic regression. Auditory brain stem response tests were performed to evaluate hearing loss. Results: Of 155 children, 35 (23%) developed hearing loss (21 unilaterally and 14 bilaterally). Profound hearing loss (greater than 90 dB normal hearing level) occurred in 15 patients (9.7%; 4 unilaterally and 11 bilaterally). Of 112 patients with positive cerebrospinal fluid cultures, 27 (24%) developed hearing loss and 13 (12%) showed profound loss. Of 22 patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis, 11(50%) developed hearing loss and 7 (32%) showed profound loss. Of 54 patients with Haemophilus influenzae meningitis, 11(20%) developed hearing loss and 4 (7.4%) showed profound loss. High serum C-reactive protein levels and cerebrospinal fluid cultures positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae were identified as significant risk factors for hearing loss. Conclusions: A high serum C-reactive protein level was first identified as a risk factor for hearing impairment after pediatric meningitis.

However, this presents risks of airway compromise and granulation tissue formation, which could necessitate tracheotomy in addition to a secondary procedure for keel removal. We introduce a novel, 1-stage endoscopic laser anterior commissurotomy for preventing anterior glottic web re-formation. Methods: Twenty patients with glottic webs involving the anterior commissure were studied. The lesions were removed by transoral carbon dioxide laser microsurgery. In all patients, the anterior glottic web was vaporized along with the inner perichondrium of the thyroid cartilage over the anterior commissure area, creating a raw vertical break "alley" between the anterior vocal folds that measured between 0.3 and 0.5 cm in width and between 0.8 and 2 cm in length. The preoperative and postoperative vocal folds and voice quality were evaluated by videostrobolaryngoscopy and voice recordings. Results: All 20 patients had anterior glottic webs ranging from 11 % to 64% of the length from the anterior commissure to the vocal process. None of the patients developed restenosis at the anterior commissure of a severity similar to that of the initial lesion during follow-up (mean, 13 months; range, 3 to 44 months). All patients except 1 reported satisfaction with their voice improvement. Outcome analysis revealed that partial re-formation of the web was noted in 4 patients. Conclusions: One-stage, endoscopic laser anterior commissurotomy was effective and relatively safe for removing glottic webs, for preventing anterior glottic web re-formation, and for improving vocal fold performance among our patients.

Methods: One hundred eighty-nine primary or relapsing cholesteatomas were consecutively operated on by a single surgeon. Cholesteatoma recurrence rates were evaluated. Predictive values of the patient, disease, and surgical characteristics on cholesteatoma recurrence were estimated. The effect of these variables on keratin pearl development, recurrent otorrhea or granulation tissue formation, and hearing function was tested. Results: The mean follow-up was 8 years (range, 4 to 15 years). The cholesteatoma relapse rate (+/- SE) estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method was 2.1% +/- 1.1%. No variables were associated with relapsing disease. The log-rank test showed a significantly higher probability of keratin pearls in male patients (16.7% versus 2.1%; p = 0.001), young patients (less than 16 years; 51.4% versus 6.2%; p = 0.0001), patients with unencapsulated cholesteatomas (19.5% versus 5.3%; p = 0.06), patients with petrous or accessory cellularity invasion (17.9% versus 7.1%; p = 0.02), and patients with overlay myringoplasty (25% versus 7.9%; p = 0.03). Recurrent otorrhea and granulation tissue were associated with homograft temporalis fascia myringoplasty (14.3% versus 3.8%; p = 0.04). The overall postoperative air-bone gap was within 20 dB in 30.7%; it was within 20 dB in 43.9% (47/107) for intact or reconstructed ossicular chains and in 13.4% (11/82) for nonreconstructed, eroded ossicular chains (p = 0.0001). The air-bone gap was within 20 dB in 42.6% (461108) when the mucosa of the tympanic cavity was normal and in 14.8% (12/81) when there was granulation tissue within the tympanic cavity (p = 0.0001). Conclusions: Single-stage canal wall down tympanoplasty is an appropriate treatment for acquired tympanomastoid cholesteatoma.

A 12-year-old boy presented with long-term left-sided conductive hearing loss, and was found to have mallear fixation and a dehiscent facial nerve on a computed tomographic (CT) scan of the temporal bone. Release of the malleus was performed at surgery, revealing hypermobility of the remaining ossicular chain. A repeat CT scan of the temporal bone showed successful release of the mallear head. The patient's father later presented with bilateral hearing loss, and a CT scan of the temporal bones showed bilateral osseous fixation of the mallear head to the tegmen and bilateral facial nerve dehiscences. He underwent right middle ear exploration, but release of the malleus was not performed because of the risk to the dehiscent facial nerve. The stapes crurae were found to be fill form at surgery. This is the first reported familial association of mallear fixation. Mallear fixation with facial nerve dehiscence and an abnormal stapes occurring in a parent and his child is interesting embryologically, and suggests that these anomalies may be genetically linked.

Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of contact granuloma or vocal process granuloma between 1995 and 2008. Data included age, gender, intubation history, reflux history, lesion location, previous treatment methods, treatment course, and recurrence. All patients were treated with daily or twice-daily protein pump inhibitors and inhaled triamcinolone acetonide (300 mu g 3 times a day). Results: Sixty-seven granulomas were diagnosed in 54 patients: 13 bilateral and 41 unilateral. Twenty patients, including all 11 women, had a recent history of intubation. Sixty-two granulomas in 50 patients were treated with triamcinolone and a proton pump inhibitor. Of the 57 granulomas that completed treatment, 5 (9%) did not respond (mean follow-up, 50 weeks; range, 30.3 to 78.3 weeks), 13 (22%) partially responded (mean follow-up, 11 weeks; range, 3 to 30 weeks), and 40 (69%) completely responded (mean follow-up, 21 weeks; range, 5.9 to 84.6 weeks). Three cases had recurrence: 2 nonresponders and 1 complete responder. One patient developed oral thrush. Conclusions: In this study, vocal process granulomas occurred more frequently in men, whereas women developed granulomas only after intubation. The anti-inflammatory action of inhaled triamcinolone combined with antireflux proton pump inhibitors successfully treats most vocal process granulomas with low rates of side effects and recurrence.

We describe the results of our modified ECS technique. Methods: This retrospective study involved 27 patients with a deviated nose who underwent our modified ECS method in rhinoplasty between June 2006 and January 2009. Anthropometric changes were assessed from preoperative and postoperative facial photographs. Patient satisfaction was evaluated, and nasal obstruction improvement was assessed on a visual analog scale. Results: Postoperative correction of the external nose deviation angle was statistically significant. Twenty-four patients (89%) were satisfied with the cosmetic outcome, and all 23 patients with moderate to severe preoperative nasal obstruction were satisfied with the postoperative improved nasal breathing. Conclusions: Our modified ECS fixation technique was easy to perform and effective in septorhinoplasty for severe septal deviation.

Total excision of these cysts was the standard treatment in the past. We present a simpler and less invasive approach for NBC treatment, involving marsupialization, and report on its effectiveness and advantages. Methods: The surgical approach was transoral. A circular incision 2 to 3 cm in diameter was made directly through the inferior wall of the cyst. After the NBC was drained, its opening was widened with scissors. A disk of oropharyngeal mucosa and the connecting inferior wall of the cyst were excised together. The cut edges of the inner lining of the cyst and the oropharyngeal mucosa were approximated with sutures. Results: All 4 patients were female. One patient was observed because of poor cardiovascular health. The 3 patients who were managed surgically underwent successful transoral cyst marsupialization. The mean follow-up period was 21 months (range, 8 to 40 months). No obvious postoperative complication or recurrence was noted. Conclusions: Transoral marsupialization is a simple, effective, and less invasive method for treatment of NBCs.

This drug reversibly elevates the auditory threshold by inducing a temporary reduction of the endocochlear potential and thereby suppresses the cochlear amplifier and active cochlear mechanics. Methods: Mice were given a single injection of furosemide 30 minutes before exposure to 113 dB sound pressure level broadband noise. Control animals received saline solution. Furosemide was administered in other mice after the noise exposure. Auditory threshold shifts were assessed by recording auditory nerve brain stem evoked response (ABR) thresholds to broadband clicks. Results: The mean ABR threshold in the group injected with furosemide and exposed to temporary threshold shift (TTS)-producing noise was elevated by 20.4 +/- 12.3 dB, and that in the saline control group was elevated by 35.4 +/- 18.3 dB (p <0.02). The mean threshold elevations in the group injected with furosemide and exposed to permanent threshold shift (PTS)-producing noise and in the PTS saline control group were 15.0 +/- 10.3 dB and 27.0 +/- 12.7 dB, respectively (p <0.01). Similar results were obtained when the PTS was assessed with an 8-kHz tone burst ABR. There was no significant difference in the PTS between mice given a single injection of furosemide and those given saline solution after the noise; this finding shows that furosemide is not acting as an antioxidant. Conclusions: It appears that reversible hearing threshold elevation as a result of furosemide administration before noise exposure can reduce the YTS and PTS. This finding provides insight into the mechanism of noise-induced hearing loss.

TI Inhibitory Effects of Hepatocyte Growth Factor and Interleukin-6 on Transforming Growth Factor-beta 1 Mediated Vocal Fold Fibroblast-Myofibroblast Differentiation SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE alpha-smooth muscle actin; fibroblast; myofibroblast; transforming growth factor-beta 1; vocal fold; wound healing ID SMOOTH MUSCLE ACTIN; EXTRACELLULAR-MATRIX; GENE-EXPRESSION; SCAR; FIBROSIS; REPAIR; MODEL; MICE AB Objectives: The role of myofibroblasts in vocal fold scarring has not been extensively studied, partly because of the lack of a robust in vitro model. The objective of this investigation was to develop and characterize a myofibroblast in vitro model that could be utilized to investigate the molecular mechanism of myofibroblast differentiation and function in injured vocal fold tissue. Methods: Differentiation of human primary vocal fold fibroblasts (hVFFs) to myofibroblasts was stimulated with 5,10, or 20 ng/mL of recombinant transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Cultures were analyzed by immunofluorescence and Western blotting, with an a smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) antibody used as a myofibroblast marker. Normal rabbit vocal folds were treated with 10 ng/mL of TGF-beta 1 for 7 days for in vivo corroboration. The effects of interleukin-6 (IL6) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on myofibroblast differentiation were studied with Western blots. Results: The hVFFs demonstrated positive alpha-SMA labeling in cells stimulated by 10 and 20 ng/mL TGF-beta 1, indicating that hVFFs were capable of differentiation to myofibroblasts. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 induced the largest increase in alpha-SMA at 10 na/mL on day 5 of treatment. Both HGF and IL-6 suppressed the expression of TGF-beta 1-induced alpha-SMA. Conclusions: Our work characterizes a useful in vitro model of TGF-beta 1 mediated vocal fold fibroblast-myofibroblast differentiation. The extent of differentiation appears to be attenuated by HGF, suggesting a potential mechanism to support prior work indicating that HGF plays a protective role in reducing scar formation in vocal fold injuries. Paradoxically, IL-6, which has been shown to play a profibrotic role in dermal studies, also attenuated the TGF-beta 1 response.

The authors analyzed several factors to search for a factor that would be useful as a prognostic indicator for successful decannulation Methods: A total of 41 patients who underwent T-tube insertion from 1995 to 2004 at Yonsei University Health System were included The medical records were reviewed retrospectively, and several factors regarding the type of stenosis were evaluated Results: Age, sex, and multiplicity and severity of stenoses (p = 0 860) were not significantly related to successful decannulation The longitudinal extent of stenosis had a significant influence on success (p = 0 035). and cases with a greater circumferential involvement tended to result in decannulation failure (p = 0 084) Conclusions: The severity of stenosis did not have a statistically significant relationship to the decannulation rate, although it was closely related to the patient's symptoms The longitudinal extent and the circumferential Involvement of stenosis were found to be correlated to the success rate and represented the extent of the damaged mucosal area Therefore, it was assumed that the extent of the damaged mucosal area could be more important than the area of the granulation tissue or the patients' symptoms in predicting the decannulation of T-tubes C1 [Kim, Sang Cheol; Kim, Se-Heon; Kim, Benjamin Youngho] Yonsei Univ, Coll Med, Dept Otorhinolaryngol, Seoul 120752, South Korea.

In almost all cases. the chinchilla cDNA sequences displayed much greater homology to human or other primate genes than with rodent species Genes associated with leukotriene metabolism were present in both normal and infected MEM Conclusions: Based on both phylogenetic comparisons and gene expression similarities with humans, chinchilla MEM appears to be an excellent model for the study of middle ear inflammation and in The higher degree of sequence similarity between chinchillas and humans compared to chinchillas and rodents was unexpected The cDNA libraries from normal and infected chinchilla NI EM will serve as useful molecular tools in the study of otitis media and should yield important information with respect to middle ear pathogenesis C1 [Kerschner, Joseph E.; Burrows, Amy; Cioffi, Joseph; Khampang, Pawjai] Childrens Hosp Wisconsin, Med Coll Wisconsin, Dept Otolaryngol & Commun Sci, Milwaukee, WI 53226 USA.

Conclusions: Volumetric rhytidectomy reliably augments the malar and mental areas, allows for subtle skeletal contouring. and results in successful rejuvenation Rhytidectomy is relatively safe to perform concurrently with silicone augmentation. and does not result in an increased complication rate as compared to rhytidectomy alone C1 [Hopping, Steven B.] George Washington Univ, Ctr Cosmet Surg, Washington, DC 20037 USA.

The overall changes were quantified to outline the direction and interests of the ABEA Results: We reviewed 483 scientific articles from the 1940s into the present decade, with a mean of 69 7 papers (SD, 32 4) representing each decade Bronchology and pulmonology decreased in percentage of papers. from 43% and 17 9% in 1940 to 1 7% and 2 6%. respectively. in the 2000s Laryngology evolved from 12 5% to 58 1% Esophagology peaked in the 1950s at 35 7%, dropped to 4% in the 1980s, and then rose to its present-day level of 15 4% Trends were also discernible in gastric and tracheal areas Pediatric topics rose to 26 7% in the 1980s. then declined to their present level cif 12 8%. Topics related to aerodigestive tract function increased from 3 6% to 34.2%, and presentation of technology declined from 23 2% in the 1940s to nil in the 2000s Trends in neoplasms. infectious diseases. foreign bodies, and trauma were less significant Conclusions: Analysis of the data reveals changing trends in the focus of the ABEA The changing focus of the AREA has paralleled scientific advances in our field, as well as the use of other subspecialties such as interventional pulmonology and gastroenterology C1 NYU, Lenox Hill Hosp, Dept Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, New York, NY 10016 USA.

Methods: Ten patients with a mean age of 64 years (range, 45 to 72 years) Were included in the study. Seven patients underwent supraglottic laryngectomy, and 3 had supracricoid laryngectomy. Six patients underwent additional radiotherapy (RT), and 8 had functional neck dissection (ND). FEESST was informed oil each patient in order to establish a swallowing rehabilitation program. Results: In 2 patients, not submitted to either ND or RT, the LAR was preserved in 6 patients, who underwent both procedures, the LAR was delayed or absent. In 2 patients who underwent ND but not RT, the LAR was preserved in 1 case and delayed in the other. The patients with all absent LAR presented severe aspiration. whereas in those with a preserved LAR, no penetration was found. Moderate aspiration was found in the remaining patients. In the patients with a reduced or absent LAR, tactile and chemical sensory stimulation was added to the rehabilitation program. Conclusions: FEESST represents a useful tool in everyday clinical practice for the planning of swallowing rehabilitation after partial laryngectomy.

Methods: A score sheet with 44 variables was developed to objectively quantify the bilateral endoscopic assessment of the nasopharynx. Patients scheduled to Undergo nasopharyngeal biopsies were recruited. The nasopharynx was assessed endoscopically, photographed, and scored on 44 variables. The scores were compared to the biopsy results, and predictors of malignancy were modeled with regression analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of the novel scoring system were examined. Results: Seventeen patients had carcinoma, and 60 had a benign lesion or no disease. Patients with a nasopharyngeal malignancy scored significantly higher than did patients with a benign lesion or no disease. No patient with a malignant lesion had it score of less than 12. With a receiver operating characteristic curve area of 0.917, the score demonstrated an excellent ability to discriminate between nasopharynges that were likely or unlikely to contain malignant disease. Independent predictors for both malignant disease and a score greater than 12 were modeled. Conclusions: A cutoff score above 12 on the novel objective endoscopic assessment of the nasopharynx measure was highly predictive of possible malignancy. C1 [Vlantis, Alexander C.; Woo, John K.

Methods: Forty-three patients with SSNHL and 43 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. The main outcome measures were serum levels of fatty acids, coenzyme Q10, total cholesterol, and LDLs. Results: On univariate logistic regression analysis. high levels of total cholesterol (p < 0.001), LDLs (p = 0.024), behenic acid (p < 0.001), docosahexaenoic acid (p < 0.001). linolenic acid (p = 0.017) and oleic acid (p < 0.001) and low levels of coenzyme Q10 (p < 0.001) and nervonic acid (p < 0.001) were associated with all elevated risk of SSNHL. Oil Multivariate analysis. Only hypercholesterolemia (p = 0.15) and low levels of coenzyme Q10 (p = 0.02) and nervonic acid (p = 0.005) were significantly associated with SSNHL. Conclusions: This is the first report of low serum levels of nervonic acid as an independent risk factor for SSNHL. Considering that hypercholesterolemia, high serum levels of LDL, and low serum levels of the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 were associated with SSNHL as well. we hypothesize that saturated fatty acids may play a role in determining the dysmetabolic state in a subset of SSNHL patients. Together. these findings suggest that not only total cholesterol and LDL levels. but also fatty acid determination, may help identify SSNHL patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study with chart review. Results: A total of 26 specimens (9 benign, 7 malignant, 10 RRP) representing 21 patients were stained. ProEx C stained positive in the nuclei of laryngeal tissue, consistent with its localization in cervical cytology specimens. Seven of 9 benign and 7 of 10 RRP specimens stained positive. The benign specimens were mostly polyps. The malignant specimens Were either well or moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, and they stained strongly and diffusely. In benign and RRP specimens. the basal layer typically stained positive. Other areas of epithelium stained weakly in benign specimens and variably in RRP specimens. current analysis of hematoxylin and eosin-stained RRP specimens revealed that 30% of specimens had at least moderate dysplasia and 80% exhibited viral changes (koilocytosis). Conclusions: ProEx C is a clean and reliable stain in laryngeal tissue, and stains positive in RRP. This study could not definitively correlate positive ProEx C staining in areas of greater dysplasia, although a trend was observed. Further studies are necessary to determine whether ProEx C can be used in triage of cases of clinically aggressive RRP For closer follow-up or frequent operative intervention.

The initial treatment must include speech therapy and psychotherapy. However, delayed treatment and denial of the problem can cause the disorder to become recalcitrant to behavioral treatment. Modified relaxation (type III) thyroplasty was proposed by Isshiki to shorten the vocal folds and release tension by incising and depressing the anterior segment of the thyroid cartilage. This procedure is called relaxation thyroplasty by a medial approach (anterior commissure retrusion) in the European Laryngological Society classification system. It results in a lowering of the vocal pitch. The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. It should only be considered for cases not improved by speech therapy and psychological counseling. Our series included 7 male patients with a mean age of 21 years Who Underwent modified relaxation thyroplasty after failure of behavioral management. The assessment of outcomes was based on changes in the fundamental frequency of the voice and the Voice Handicap Index. The mean fundamental frequency was lowered from 187 Hz to 104 Hz (p < 0.001), and the mean Voice Handicap Index was improved from 70 to 21. There were no postoperative Complications. The voice results were consistent over a mean follow-up of 17 months. Modified relaxation Isshiki (type III) thyroplasty is a successful treatment option for lowering vocal pitch in cases Of mutational falsetto voice recalcitrant to conservative therapy.

No ideal way, however, has been established to restore vocal function after this form of insult. The aim of this preliminary feasibility study in a canine model was to investigate the effectiveness of a polypropylene-based tissue engineering approach to repair a partial glottal defect. Methods: Eight dogs were used in this study, A laryngeal defect involving resection of the left vocal fold was created through a thyroid cartilage window. A scaffold made of polypropylene and collagen was preclotted and wrapped with autologous fascia lata, inserted through the window, and sutured to the laryngeal defect in 5 dogs. The defect was reconstructed with an adjacent sternohyoid muscle flap in 3 control dogs. The surgical site was evaluated 3 months after operation by fiberscopic examination, computed tomographic imaging, histologic evaluation,a and study of excised larynges. Results: On fiberscopic examination, the experimental group implants were completely covered with regenerated mucosa in all case, and a favorable vocal fold contour was found in 4 of the 5 cases. One case was characterized by a concave vocal fold shape and red granulation. In the control group, the muscle flap was replaced by scarred mucosa with a concave vocal fold contour in 2 cases, and there was soft white granulation at the anterior resected edge in the third case. The histologic data revealed the regeneration of lined epithelium, subepithelial tissue, and muscle structure in both groups. The excised larynx phonatory data revealed reduced vibratory amplitude in the experimental group compared with the control group; however, excised phonation was not achieved in 2 of the 3 cases in the control group. Conclusions: This polypropylene-based tissue engineering technique appears to be a viable tool for glottal reconstruction; however, additional refinement is required to maximize long-term phonatory function.

Methods: Forty-four patients with sTMG and 20 matched controls (multinodular goiter) were recruited into this study. All of the patients underwent subtotal thyroidectomy. Gene mutations were analyzed by direct DNA sequencing of the polymerase chain reaction-amplified part of exons. Results: In the sTMG group, 3 mutations of the GNAS gene were identified in 7 patients (15.9%), and 6 mutations of the TSHR gene were identified in 14 patients (31.8%). The mutation rate of the TSHR gene in patients with sTMG was significantly higher than that in the control group. Furthermore, in the sTMG group, statistical analysis indicated that mutations were significantly correlated with the serum level of thyroid-stimulating hormone for the TSHR gene, but no significant difference was found for the GNAS gene. Also, no significant difference was found in mutation positivity of the 2 genes between patients with nodules who were born before universal salt iodization and patients with nodules who were born afterward (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicate that a mutation of the TSHR gene may be related to sTMG. The serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level plays an important role in the mutagenesis.

Methods: Measurements were recorded on 8 excised canine larynges with simulated UVFP before and after medialization with a TVFMI. Results: The phonation threshold flow (p < 0.001) and phonation threshold power (p = 0.008) decreased significantly after medialization. The phonation threshold pressure also decreased, but this difference was not significant (p = 0.081). Jitter (p = 0.005) and shimmer (p = 0.034) decreased significantly after medialization. The signal-to-noise ratio increased significantly (p = 0.05). Differences in mucosal wave characteristics were discernible but not significant. The phase difference between the normal and paralyzed vocal folds (p = 0.15) and the amplitude of the paralyzed vocal fold (p = 0.78) decreased. The glottal gap decreased significantly (p = 0.004). Conclusions: The TVFMI was effective in achieving vocal fold medialization, improving vocal aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of phonation significantly and mucosal wave characteristics discernibly. This study provides objective, quantitative support for the use of the TVFMI in improving vocal function in patients with UVFP.

TI Histologic Study of Acute Vocal Fold Wound Healing After Corticosteroid Injection in a Rabbit Model SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE collagen; inflammatory reaction; injectable corticosteroid; vocal fold scar ID MICROFLAP; LARYNX AB Objectives: Injectable corticosteroids have been used in phonosurgery to prevent scarring of the vocal fold because of their effects of wound healing, and to ensure better voice quality. We histologically evaluated the effects of dexamethasone sodium phosphate infiltration on acute vocal fold wound healing in rabbits 3 and 7 days after surgically induced injury by quantification of the inflammatory reaction and collagen deposition. Methods: A standardized surgical incision was made in the vocal folds of 12 rabbits, and 0.1 mL dexamethasone sodium phosphate (4 mg/mL) was injected into the left vocal fold. The right vocal fold was not injected and served as the control. The larynges were collected 3 and 7 days after surgery. For histologic analysis, the vocal folds were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for quantification of the inflammatory response and with picrosirius red for qunatification of collagen depostion. Results: There was no quantitative difference in the inflammatory response between vocal folds injected with the corticosteroid and control vocal folds. However, the rate of collage deposition was significantly lower in the corticosteroid-treated group at 3 and 7 days after injury (p = 0.002). Conclusions: The present results suggest that dexamethasone reduces collagen depostion during acute vocal fold wound healing.

TI Voice Production Mechanisms Following Phonosurgical Treatment of Early Glottic Cancer SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 89th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY MAY 28-29, 2009 CL Phoenix, AZ SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE acoustic perturbation; glottic cancer; high-speed videoendoscopy; vocal fold asymmetry; voice production ID HIGH-SPEED VIDEOENDOSCOPY; VOCAL FOLD; VIDEOKYMOGRAPHY; EVOLUTION AB Objectives: Although near-normal conversational voices can be achieved with the phonosurgical management of early glottic cancer, there are still acoustic and aerodynamic deficits in vocal function that Must be better understood to help further optimize phonosurgical interventions. Stroboscopic assessment is inadequate for this purpose. Methods: A newly developed color high-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) system that included time-synchronized recordings of the acoustic signal Was used to perform a detailed examination of voice production mechanisms in 14 Subjects. Digital image processing techniques were used to quantify glottal phonatory function and to delineate relationships between vocal fold vibratory properties and acoustic perturbation measures. Results: The results for multiple measurements of vibratory asymmetry showed that 31% to 62% of subjects displayed higher-than-normal average values, whereas the mean values for glottal Closure duration (open quotient) and periodicity of vibration fell within normal limits. The average HSV-based measures did not correlate significantly with the acoustic perturbation Measures, but moderate correlations were exhibited between the acoustic measures and the SDs of the HSV-based parameters. Conclusions: The use of simultaneous, time-synchronized HSV and acoustic recordings can provide new insights into postoperative voice production mechanisms that cannot be obtained with stroboscopic assessment.

Methods: Ten patients with laryngeal carcinoma underwent SCPL at Johns Hopkins Hospital between August 2003 and May 2005. Clinical and videofluoroscopic swallowing examinations and perceptual, acoustic, aerodynamic, and video-stroboscopic voice evaluations were completed before operation and at 3 weeks (swallowing only) and 2 (voice only), 6, and 12 months after operation. Results: The mean time to gastrostomy tube removal was 82 days. The patients tolerated an increased variety of foods over the first postoperative year. All patients initially used therapeutic strategies to swallow safely, and some still required them at 1 postoperative year. Over the year, the perceptual ratings of voice quality improved significantly. There were no consistent changes in acoustic or aerodynamic measures. The number of patients who used multiple vibratory sources to phonate increased over the year. Conclusions: The patients tolerated regular diets, yet continued to exhibit silent aspiration and a variety of decompensations. Their voices were breathy, rough, and strained. Their voice quality ratings improved over the year. Group changes were not captured, and it appears that the changes in speech and voice 2 months after surgery were subtle.

Methods: Endoscopic ethmoid sinus dissections were performed on cadavers by otolaryngologists. All cadavers were scanned before dissection. On each side of the cadaver, the ethmoid sinuses were examined independently. A complete endoscopic ethmoidectomy was performed with a CT image guidance system. After the endoscopic ethmoidectomy, the cadaver underwent a postdissection CT scan. The postdissection CT images were then evaluated for the level of complete dissection of the anterior and posterior ethmoid Sinuses. Results: There were 18 ethmoid Sinuses in the Study. One specimen underwent a complete total ethmoidectomy with no residual cells. There were 4 complete anterior ethmoidectomies and 5 complete posterior ethmoidectomies. Overall, the average numbers of residual anterior ethmoid and posterior ethmoid air cells were 1.39 and 1.22, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant. The skull base was dissected more completely than the lamina papyracea, with a significant difference (p = 0.03). There was no difference in terms of residual cells between the left and right ethmoid sinuses (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Even with the use of a CT image guidance system, a complete ethmoidectomy was still difficult to achieve. Residual ethmoid sinus cells were more commonly found along the lamina papyracea than along the skull base.

Serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) is clinically used as a popular tumor biomarker. We have demonstrated that SCCA is related to allergic diseases such as asthma. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the relationship between allergic rhinitis and SCCA, which had not yet been investigated. Methods: We compared the serum SCCA levels in patients with allergic rhinitis due to Japanese cedar pollen and Dermatophagoides farinae with those in normal Subjects. Thereafter, the correlations between the clinical severity of allergic rhinitis and the serum levels of SCCA were investigated. Furthermore, the influence of 8 variables (serum levels of SCCA, immunoglobulin E, eosinophil cationic protein, and eosinophils; age; gender; oral administration of antiallergic or antihistaminic agents; and use of nasal drops) in regard to the severity of allergic rhinitis was studied by a multiple regression analysis. Results: The SCCA levels of the D farinae group were statistically higher than those of the control group, and they correlated with the severity of rhinitis. Among the 8 variables, only the SCCA level was found to be a predictive factor of severity on a multiple regression analysis. No relationship between SCCA level and Japanese cedar pollen allergy was demonstrated. Conclusions: These results suggest that the serum SCCA level may be a useful biomarker to evaluate the severity of allergic rhinitis caused by D farinae.

However, no simple "best" technique exists. Methods: The Negrevergne otoplasty technique was developed by Michel Negrevergne and adopted in the Georges Port-mann Institute in France. The technique includes partial-thickness posterior scoring of the auricular cartilage by use of monopolar cutting diathermy. Results: A telephone survey was designed solely for this study, aimed to give general information about the technique's outcomes. The survey, conducted by the first author among his patients who were followed up for more than I year, revealed that most patients (46 of 52) were very to completely satisfied with the appearance and symmetry of their ears. Furthermore, evaluation according to the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale was performed by a blinded nonparticipating observer using the medical photographs of 48 patients who consented to "medical photography" to evaluate the effect of treatment. All patients were rated as "improved" or better oil the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale at 52 weeks. There were no ratings of "no change" or "worse." Conclusions: The Negrevergne otoplasty technique is a relatively simple and rapid procedure that maintains the natural contours of the auricle with little morbidity by addressing the poorly developed or absent antihelical fold, all abnormally large concha, and a prominent lobule.

Methods: In this prospective nonrandomized study from 2004 through 2008, functional surgery using a microdebrider was performed on patients with severe Reinke's edema. Comparisons were conducted for preoperative and postoperative phonatory function using both subjective grade (G), roughness (R), breathiness (B), asthenia (A), and strain (S) scoring and objective Multi-Di rnensional Voice Program parameters. Statistical analysis was done by paired t-test, and a p value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Seventeen patients were enrolled in this study, with a median age of 56 years and a median observation period of 129 days. The male-to-female ratio was 1 to 2.4. No major complications were observed in the perioperative period. Significant improvement was observed in the subjective values of G, R, B,and S. Improvement was also observed in the fundamental frequency, pitch perturbation quotient, and amplitude perturbation quotient calculated by the Multi-Dimensional Voice Program. Conclusions: The microdebrider is a useful tool in functional surgery for severe Reinke's edema and gives good functional outcomes. Surgeons can swiftly complete the key steps of removing pathological submucosal tissue and preserving the normal epithelium with an excellent surgical view.

We review Our experience with office-based TEP and compare outcomes with those of operating room-based TEP. Our hypothesis was that office-based TEP results in improved prosthesis sizing, reducing the number of visits dedicated to prosthesis resizing. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients who underwent secondary TEP at our institution from 2001 to 2008. The primary dependent measure was the change in the length of the voice prosthesis. We also evaluated the number of visits made to the speech-language pathologist for resizing before a stable prosthesis length was achieved, and the number of days between voice prosthesis placement and the date a stable prosthesis length was observed. Results: Thirty-one patients were included in this study. There was a significant difference in prosthesis length change between patients who had office-based TEP and patients who had operating room-based TEP (p < 0.001). In addition, the office-based cohort required fewer visits to the speech-language pathologist for TEP adjustments before a stable TEP length was achieved (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Voice prosthesis sizing was better in patients who had office-based TEP than in patients who had operating room-based TEP. This outcome is likely due to the lesser degree of swelling of the tracheoesophageal party wall ill the office-based procedure.

This report describes an exceptional case of a "nondestructive" translabyrinthine surgical approach to a large congenital petrosal cholesteatoma that threatened the vestibulum, superior semicircular canal, facial nerve, and internal auditory canal. We applied a nonconventional transmastoid subarcuate supralabyrinthine approach in a 20-year-old patient by accessing the lesion through the center of the superior semicircular arch without damaging the integrity of the canal. This led to a complete removal of the petrosal cholesteatoma with preservation of hearing and vestibular function. Follow-up imaging performed 1 and 2 years after operation by means of non-echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging did not show residual cholesteatoma. This report describes the first successful use of a subarcuate supralabyrinthine approach through the arches of the superior semicircular canal in a case of petrosal cholesteatoma.

The case is reviewed with regard to presentation, differential diagnosis, and treatment. We also reviewed the literature to determine the frequency of congenital and childhood presentations of bilateral vocal fold paralysis associated with CMT, most specifically CMT type 1. We found only 14 children reported to have bilateral vocal fold paralysis associated with CMT, and only 1 of these cases was associated with CMT type 1. None of these patients had congenital vocal fold paralysis. Because of the degenerative nature of the disease, our Patient underwent endoscopic cordotomy to avoid tracheotomy. We conclude that CMT should be included in the differential diagnosis in evaluating neonates with bilateral vocal fold paralysis. If CMT is definitively diagnosed, it Could alter the course of treatment.

TI Effects of Gold Laser on the Avian Chorioallantoic Membrane SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 89th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY MAY 28-29, 2009 CL Phoenix, AZ SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE chorioallantoic membrane; Gold laser; larynx; laser; phonosurgery; vocal fold ID PULSED DYE-LASER; SURGERY; MODEL; PAPILLOMATOSIS; ADENOIDECTOMY; DYSPLASIA; EFFICACY AB Objectives: Office-based lasers have revolutionized the treatment of laryngeal disease. The 980-nm Gold laser is a device that may offer some practical advantages over other office lasers. The chick chorioallantoic membrane has been proposed as a model for predicting the effects of photoangiolytic lasers on vocal fold microvasculature. We sought to evaluate the effects of the Gold laser in this model. Methods: Vascular reactions in first-order vessels were determined for the Gold laser with both 0 degrees straight and 30 degrees angled laser fibers. Vessels were treated at 15 W and a 500-ms pulse interval, with a 1-mm working distance. Pulse widths C, of 300 ms and 500 ins were evaluated. All vessels were treated until selective coagulation or vessel rupture. Results: We performed 60 trials on 30 embryos. The mean energy delivered was 33.7 J for the straight fiber and 51.2 J for the angled fiber. The laser achieved selective vessel coagulation without rupture in 100% (30 of 30) of straight fiber trials and in 100% (30 of 30) of angled fiber trials. In 6.7% (2 of 30) of straight fiber and 10% (3 of 30) of angled fiber trials, it caused minor injury to the surrounding albumin as indicated by white coagulum outside the vessel. Conclusions: The Gold laser effectively coagulates small vessels without rupture at a working distance of 1 mm and settings of 15 W, 500-ms pulse interval, and 300- to 500-ms pulse width.

Methods: Four beagles underwent crush injury of the left RLN, and 2 beagles underwent left RLN transection. Serial spontaneous and evoked L-EMG was recorded with the NIM-Response nerve monitoring system under sedation. Transesophageal, percutaneous, and direct open RLN stimulation was performed. Recordings of spontaneous and evoked responses were made with endotracheal tube surface electrodes and bipolar vocal fold needle electrodes. The L-EMG procedures were repeated every 1 to 2 weeks after injury, and intersubject and intertrial differences were evaluated. Results: Low-amplitude motor unit action potentials, polyphasic potentials, fasciculations, and fibrillations were detected in injured animals with bipolar needle recording electrodes with this system of spontaneous L-EMG. The surface recording electrodes did not detect pathologic waveforms. Percutaneous needle stimulation of the RLN is possible at Currents slightly higher than those used for direct stimulation. Consistent, discrete, transesophageal stimulation of the RLN could not be reliably performed. Recording evoked responses with needle electrodes generated sharper waveforms, facilitating calculation of latency and wave duration. Evoked L-EMG utilizing surface recording electrodes limited the intertrial and intersubject variability of evoked amplitude. Conclusions: Typical patterns of nerve injury can be detected with this system of intraoperative L-EMG in a canine model. Quantitative measures of amplitude, latency, and wave duration in healthy and injured canine RLNs may be determined with this system.

TI Long-Term Acoustic Comparison of Thyroplasty Versus Autologous Fat Injection SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 89th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY MAY 28-29, 2009 CL Phoenix, AZ SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE acoustics; medialization; paralysis; vocal fold; voice ID VOCAL CORD AUGMENTATION; AUTOGENOUS FAT; PARALYSIS; MEDIALIZATION; LARYNGOPLASTY; EXPERIENCE AB Objectives: Medialization by thyroplasty or intracordal autologous fat injection provides voice improvement in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Thyroplasty is considered a "permanent" medialization, whereas fat injection is considered "temporary" because of reabsorption. The objective of this study was to compare the evolution of acoustic parameters for these procedures over I year and to evaluate the results of fat injection at 2 years. Methods: From 1994 to 1998, 46 consecutive patients ( 17 women and 29 men) were treated exclusively by intracordal injection of autologous fat, and then from 1999 to 2002, 48 Consecutive patients (19 women and 29 men) were treated with the Montgomery Thyroplasty Implant System or Gore-Tex thyroplasty. Each patient's voice was prospectively recorded before operation and at 1, 3, 12, and 24 months after operation. Six patients (13%) in the injection group underwent a second injection, and I patient (2%) in the thyroplasty group underwent revision surgery. Jitter, shimmer, and noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR) were calculated for a 1,000-ms midvowel segment of the vowel /a/. Results: One month after operation, jitter, shimmer, and NHR were significantly improved in both groups (Wilcoxon's test, p < 0.05 in all cases). Jitter and shimmer did not change significantly between I and 3 months or between I and 12 months (p > 0.05). The NHR had improved at 12 months in both groups (injection, p = 0.0004; thyroplasty, p = 0.0178) and at 24 months in the injection group (p = 0.0076). No significant difference was noted between the two techniques before operation or at 1, 3, or 12 months after operation (Mann-Whitney test, p > 0.05). Jitter and shimmer had not changed significantly after 24 months in either group. At 24 months, there was no difference in acoustic parameters between the two treatment groups. Conclusions: The two techniques provided comparable objective acoustic voice improvement. At 2 years, autologous fat injection provides long-term acoustic voice improvement comparable to that of thyroplasty, but it has a higher rate of revision surgery.

We report on a clinical case series of this rare condition. called superior thyroid cornu syndrome. This is the first report of a case series of this entity as a possible cause of cervical dysphagia that was successfully treated with an endoscopic procedure. Methods: A clinical case series of 12 patients were identified as having superior thyroid cornu syndrome (years 2001 to 2006). Eleven patients were male and I was female; their mean age was 54.6 years. They complained of unresolved throat pain. difficulty swallowing, and/or pain on swallowing. On flexible laryngoscopy, there was an asymmetric indentation of the pharynx due to a prominent Superior thyroid cornu. Laryngeal manipulation produced the pain and exposed the prominent cornu in the airway. Computed tomographic evidence of calcification of the superior thyroid horn without other abnormality was noted. Results: After maximal medical treatment with proton pump inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents, nasal steroids, antihistamines. and/or other allergy treatments, 8 of the patients who had persistent symptoms were treated by transoral pharyngotomy and resection of an approximately 2.0 x 0.5-cm segment of a thyroid cornu. Vast improvement in symptoms occurred in 6 patients, and complete symptom resolution occurred in 3 of those 6. Two of 8 patients reported improvement in swallowing, but persistent pain. The follow-up duration was between 2 and 15 months from the time of surgery. Conclusions: Superior thyroid cornu syndrome may be a rare cause of cervical dysphagia. It may be diagnosed by careful laryngoscopy with laryngeal palpation followed by a Computed tomography scan. Surgical resection of the affected superior thyroid cornu by transoral pharyngotomy appears to be effective in relief of symptoms.

TI Anatomy of the Optic Canal: A Computed Tomography Study of Endoscopic Nerve Decompression SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE anatomy; endoscopy; optic canal; optic nerve; sphenoid sinus ID NEUROPATHY; SINUSES AB Objectives: Endoscopic optic nerve decompression has variable success rates. Our goal was to further delineate the radiographic anatomy of the optic canal to determine whether the variable success can be explained on anatomic principles. Methods: The optic canal dimensions and the degree of optic canal exposure to the sphenoid sinus were measured on sinus computed tomography images of 96 patients. Results: A total of 191 optic canals were analyzed (111 female subjects and 80 male subjects). The average medial canal wall length was 1.48 cm (range, 0.7 to 2.3 cm). The length in male subjects wits 1.61 cm (range, 1.1 to 2.3 cm), as compared to 1.39 cm (range, 0.7 to 2.0 cm) in female subjects (p < 0.001). Onodi cells and pneumatized anterior clinoid processes were present on 14 and 16 images, respectively. The average degree of exposure of the optic canal to the sphenoid sinus in optic canals without Onodi cells or clinoid pneumatization was 99.3 degrees, and in optic canals with both Onodi cells and clinoid pneumatization it was 117.7 degrees. The potential area of canal exposed was 0.66 cm(2), or 28% of the total surface area. Conclusions: A wide variation in medial canal wall length and exposure of the optic canal to the sphenoid sinus exists on computed tomography images. Variation in medial canal wall length and optic canal exposure may limit the Surface area of nerve available for endoscopic optic nerve decompression.

Methods: Dissected labyrinths and their nerve supply prepared by the Sudan black B technique of Rasmussen were examined and photographed with a Canon A 100 camera interfaced with a Zeiss operating microscope. Results: In lizards and alligators, the utricular sense organ is represented by 2 small maculae, each with a separate nerve branching off the ampullary nerves to the anterior and lateral canal cristae. These 2 maculae fuse into a bilobed macula with ascent in frogs and pigeons, eventually becoming a single large macula with its nerve supply from the superior vestibular division in guinea pigs, cats, lions, monkeys,and humans. Along with these changes, there is a fusion of the lateral and anterior canal ampullary nerves and of the bifurcating branches of the vertical canal ampullary nerves. The saccular macula is single, but receives a dual innervation from the superior division (anterior ramus) and the inferior division (posterior ramus) of the eighth nerve in alligators, pigeons, guinea pigs, cats, lions, monkeys, and humans. The main innervation is usually from the inferior division; however, saccular innervation is from the inferior division in lizards and from the superior division in frogs. The auditory sense organ is represented by a curved tube with a low-frequency receptor (lagena) at its distal end in lizards, alligators, and pigeons. In mammals, in which there is a coiled cochlea with a variable number of turns, low frequencies are recorded at the apical turn. This configuration may represent fusion of the lagena into the apical end of the auditory sense organ. Conclusions: Fusion of sense organs and of their nerve supply appears to be an evolutionary principle in the vertebrate labyrinth.

Methods: Air-conducted VEMPs were recorded in 28 patients affected by intractable Meniere's disease and treated with placement of an EMS. Results: One month and 12 months after the surgery, VEMPs were not detectable in the operated ear in 100% and 86% of the patients, respectively. Forty-eight months after the surgery, they were elicited in 79% of the patients. Conclusions: We conclude that VEMPs are a clinically useful tool in the postoperative follow-up of patients with an EMS.

Methods: There were 2 groups of patients with mixed otosclerosis. The experimental group was made up of patients with an active focus of the disease; they received NaF for 6 months and then underwent stapedectomy. The control group was made up of patients with an inactive focus of the disease: they underwent stapedectomy without administration of NaF. Results: The difference between the study groups in the degree of difficulty in extracting the footplate was not found to be statistically significant. Both groups had hearing gains in bone and air conduction. The level of posttreatment hearing gain in the group exposed to NaF was greater than that in the nonexposed group. Conclusions: Sodium fluoride administered to patients with mixed otosclerosis and an active focus of disease does not increase the difficulty of working with the footplate during stapedectomy, and it increases the hearing gain after the procedure.

TI Human Nasal Polyp Microenvironments Maintained in a Viable and Functional State as Xenografts in NOD-scid IL2r gamma(null) Mice SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE mucin; nasal polyp; splenomegaly; xenograft ID HUMAN-LUNG-TUMOR; CELL-DEVELOPMENT; LONG-TERM; ENGRAFTMENT; TISSUE; MOUSE; CHAIN; DNA AB Objectives: The objective was to develop a model with which to study the cellular and molecular events associated with nasal polyp progression. To accomplish this, we undertook to develop a system in which nondisrupted human nasal polyp tissue could be successfully implanted into severely immunocompromised mice, in which the histopathology of the original nasal polyp tissue, including inflammatory lymphocytes, epithelial and goblet cell hyperplasia and subepithelial fibrosis, could be preserved for prolonged periods. Methods: Small, non-disrupted pieces of human nasal polyp tissues were subcutaneously implanted into NOD-scid IL2r gamma(null) mice. Xeno-rafts at 8 to 12 weeks after implantation were examined histologically and immunohistochemically to identify human inflammatory leukocytes and to determine whether the characteristic histopathologic characteristics of the nasal polyps were maintained for a prolonged period. The xenografts, spleen, lung, liver, and kidneys were examined histologically and immunohistochemically and were evaluated for changes in volume. The sera of these mice were assayed for human cytokines and immunoglobulin. Results: Xenografts of human nasal polyp tissues were established after their subcutaneous implantation into NOD-scid IL2r gamma(null) mice. The xenografts were maintained in a viable and functional state for up to 3 months, and retained a histopathologic appearance similar to that of the original tissue, with a noticeable increase in goblet cell hyperplasia and marked mucus accumulation in the submucosal glands compared to the original nasal polyp tissue. Inflammatory lymphocytes present in the polyp microenvironment were predominantly human CD8+ T cells with an effector memory phenotype. Human CD4+ T cells, CD138+ plasma cells, and CD68+ macrophages were also observed in the xenografts. Human immunoglobulin and interferon-gamma were detected in the sera of xenograft-bearing mice. The polyp-associated lymphocytes proliferated and were found to migrate from the xenografts to the spleens of the recipient mice, resulting in a significant splenomegaly. A progressive increase in the volume of the xenografts was observed with little or no evidence of mouse cell infiltration into the human leukocyte antigen-positive human tissue. An average twofold increase in polyp volume was found at 3 months after engraftment. Conclusions: The use of innate and adaptive immunodeficient NOD-scid mice homozygous for targeted mutations in the interleukin-2 receptor gamma-chain locus NOD-scid IL2r gamma(null) for establishing xenografts of nondisrupted pieces of human nasal polyp tissues represents a significant improvement over the previously reported xenograft model that used partially immunoincompetent CB17-scid mice as tissue recipients. The absence of the interleukin-2 receptor gamma-chain results in complete elimination of natural killer cell development, as well as severe impairments in T and B cell development. These mice, lacking both innate and adaptive immune responses, significantly improve upon the long-term engraftment of human nasal Polyp tissues and provide a model with which to Study how nasal polyp-associated lymphocytes and their secreted biologically active products contribute to the histopathology and progression of this chronic inflammatory disease.

This study evaluated the incidence of hypergranulation and related tracheal stenosis in long-term cannulated patients. The relation between hypergranulation, specific tracheostomy techniques, and the duration of cannulation was investigated. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted to analyze tracheostomal and tracheal hypergranulation in long-term cannulated patients. We compared complication rates in 344 postacute patients. Tracheas and tracheostomas were inspected visually and endoscopically at admission and at regular tube changes every 2 weeks until decannulation or discharge. Results: Hypergranulation appeared 3 times as often in the tracheostoma (n = 338) as in the trachea (n = 109). There was no influence of the tracheostomy procedure on the frequency (p = 0.931), location (tracheostoma, p = 0.947; trachea, p 0.918), or severity (stenoses grade 1, p = 0.910; grade 11, p = 0.649; grade 111, p = 0.304) of the hypergranulation. The main factors to account for hypergranulation were the duration of cannulation (p < 0.001) and age (p = 0.033). Conclusions: There was no influence of tracheostomy techniques on hypergranulation. Its development depends on the duration of cannulation. It is recommended to keep the duration of cannulation as short as possible with respect to the underlying neurologic impairment.

Methods: The medical records of 30 patients who were treated for chronic sinusitis with the BCS technique between April 2007 and February 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperative and postoperative assessments were performed by endoscopic endonasal examination and Lund-Mackay radiologic staging of paranasal sinus computed tomography scans. The symptom scoring was performed with the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 (SNOT-20). The postoperative follow-Lip period was at least 12 months. Results: We performed BCS in 151 sinuses, excluding 2 maxillary and 2 frontal sinuses. No major complication attributable to BCS was observed. After operation, suctioning and crust removal was not needed in the area operated oil in BCS patients. Revision surgery was needed in 2 patients after 6 months. From before to after operation, the SNOT-20 values and Lund-Mackay scores decreased significantly. Conclusions: We conclude that BCS helps to dilate the sinus ostia properly and effectively in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis. It can also be performed in the ethmoidal air cell area.

We administered local neurotoxins to selected laryngeal muscles after RLN injury to determine whether aberrant reinnervation could be selectively inhibited. Methods: Unilateral RLN transection was performed in 24 male rats. Three weeks later, the denervated laryngeal adductor complex was injected with phenol, high- or low-dose vincristine sulfate (VNC), or saline solution. One month later, rat larynges were evaluated via videolaryngoscopy and laryngeal electromyography (LEMG). Larynges from euthanized animals were analyzed via immunofluorescent staining for the presence of reinnervation. Results: One animal that received phenol and 3 animals that received high-dose VNC died of toxicity-related complications. In the surviving neurotoxin-treated animals, videolaryngoscopy showed increased lateralization of the immobile vocal fold. Only I phenol-injected rat had adductor complex motor recruitment (score of 3+) with LEMG. The other neurotoxin-treated animals demonstrated an absence of adductor complex reinnervation, with only insertional activity and fibrillations (no motor units/recruitment). Spontaneous ipsilateral abductor reinnervatioll was not affected by the adductor injections. Conclusions: Low-dose VNC injections appear to be relatively safe and effective in selectively inhibiting spontaneous aberrant reinnervation after RLN injury in an animal model.

We tested this effect in patients who underwent botulinum toxin injections for adductor spasmodic dysphonia. Methods: Patients were studied over 3 to 5 injection cycles. Cycle 1 was the baseline control; cycle 2 was randomized between a 1-hour reading aloud task ("exercise") and a 24-hour period of complete voice rest. For cycle 3, the patient completed the task not performed in cycle 2. Patients who were willing to continue for cycles 4 and 5 repeated the experiment at one half the injection dosage. Efficacy was determined with a battery of voice recordings and clinical outcomes instruments administered via telephone at 2- to 4-week intervals. The primary outcome measure was the result of the Voice-Related Quality of Life (VRQOL) instrument. Results: Nine patients (8 women, I man) with a mean age of 60.8 years (range, 42 to 76 years) completed at least 3 injection cycles. The VRQOL results were significantly higher for cycles that followed the exercise task. The patients reported subjectively that these were some of the best injection cycles they had ever experienced. Some achieved equivalent results with the half-dose injection plus exercise. The VRQOL results after voice rest cycles were not significantly different from the patients' baseline cycles. Conclusions: These results support the conclusion that a period of intense vocalization immediately following laryngeal botulinum toxin injections improves the efficacy of the injection. Possible mechanisms are proposed. C1 [Paniello, Randal C.; Edgar, Julia D.] Washington Univ, Sch Med, Dept Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, St Louis, MO 63110 USA.

This technique, however, does not overcome the problem of limited space within the nasal cavity for the tumor to be retracted. Therefore, the tumor has to be divided to allow for its removal. We are proposing a different 2-surgeon technique as an alternative operative technique for the resection of JNA. Methods: A new technique of endoscopic resection of JNA involves a transseptal posterior perforation. This perforation allows retraction of the tumor into the opposite nasal cavity by the second surgeon. The retraction of the tumor creates space for its resection. Results: Nineteen patients (all male) underwent this 2-surgeon technique for resection of JNA. The follow-up period ranged up to 9 years, and no recurrence was recorded. Conclusions: Longer-term follow-up is needed to assess recurrence rate and morbidity with this technique. However, in our small series, the 2-surgeon technique via posterior septal perforation was associated with low morbidity and recurrence rates.

A change of pH in the external auditory canal (EAC) is very important for the pathogenesis of otitis externa. Therefore, not only an antibiotic otic solution, but also acidification, is known to be a good treatment for AOE. However, pH has only been investigated in chronic otitis externa, and not in AOE. Methods: This was a prospective randomized control study. Forty adult patients (56 ears) with AOE and 40 normal control Subjects (80 ears) participated in this Study. The severity of disease was graded as mild, moderate, or severe. The pH of each EAC was then measured. The patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: one for vinegar irrigation and the other for topical antibiotics. The pH of the diseased ears was measured at I and 2 weeks after the treatment. Results: The mean (+/- SD) pH for the normal control subjects was 5.4 +/- 0.48, and the EAC lost its acidity proportionately to the degree of disease (p<0.05). For both the vinegar irrigation and topical antibiotic groups, the acidity was restored dramatically (p<0.05) at 1 and 2 weeks for the moderate and severe grades of otitis, but not for the mild grade. There was no difference in recovery between the 2 groups. Conclusions: The EAC lost its acidity proportionately to the degree of disease in AOE. Vinegar irrigation and topical antibiotics were equally effective for restoration of pH.

The distribution of hyaluronic acid (HA) and expression of CD44 (a cell surface receptor for HA) were examined in human vocal fold mucosae (VFMe) that had remained unphonated since birth. Methods: Five specimens of VFMe (3 adults, 2 children) that had remained unphonated since birth were investigated with Alcian blue staining, hyaluronidase digestion, and immunohistochemistry for CD44. Results: The VFMe containing MFe were hypoplastic and rudimentary. The VFMe did not have a vocal ligament, Reinke's space, or a layered structure, and the lamina propria appeared as a uniform structure. In the children, HA was distributed in the VFMe containing MFe. In the adults, HA had decreased in the VFMe containing MFe. In both groups, the VFSCs in the MFe and the fibroblasts in the lamina propria expressed little CD44. Conclusions: This study supports the hypothesis that the tensions caused by vocal fold vibration stimulate the VFSCs in the MFe to accelerate production of extracellular matrices and form the layered structure. Phonation after birth is one of the important factors in the growth and development of the human VFMe.

Methods: We searched the database at our pediatric tertiary care center to identify patients who met the inclusion criteria, examining demographic variables, audiometric data, and presumptive causes. Results: We identified 198 patients. At presentation, they showed slight left-sided and male predominances. Of 142 patients who had sufficient audiometric follow-up for us to evaluate progression, 21% showed ipsilateral progression and 10.6% developed new-onset hearing loss in the contralateral car. Isolated high-frequency loss was identified in 11 patients (5.6%), 8 of whom had sufficient follow-up for us to identify progression. Two showed progression; 4 others with progression in the ipsilateral ear developed new-onset high-frequency loss in the contralateral ear. Temporal bone anomalies were identified in 26 children (13%). and these children were more likely to have profound hearing loss than were those without temporal bone anomalies (46% versus 23%). Conclusions: The findings suggest that unilateral sensorineural hearing loss may not always be a unilateral process, but that it may be the initial manifestation of bilateral auditory dysfunction.

TI Midline Cervical Cleft: A Rare Congenital Anomaly SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cervical cleft; congenital cervical anomaly; congenital midline cleft; midline cervical cleft ID NECK AB Objectives: A midline cervical cleft (MCC) is a rare congenital anomaly due to failure of fusion of the first and second branchial arches during embryogenesis. It may present as a midline defect of the anterior neck skin with a skin projection or Sinus, or as a subcutaneous fibrous cord. This report evaluates the clinical features and surgical management of an MCC. Methods: We analyzed a series of 4 patients with an MCC successfully treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. Results: Three male patients and 1 female patient between 4 and 11 months of age were found to have an MCC. Each patient presented with an erythematous, fibrous band of tissue extending between the chin and the suprasternal notch. Treatment comprised surgical excision of the lesion and Z-plasty repair. We present the embryology, common clinical presentation, investigations, differential diagnosis, and histology, along with a literature review, of this uncommon malformation of the anterior neck. Conclusions: An MCC is a differential diagnosis to consider when assessing a child with a midline cervical lesion. Early Surgical excision with Z-plasty repair of the soft tissue defect is the treatment of choice to prevent long-term complications.

Laryngeal EMG was performed together with recording of chest wall movement in a 55-day-old girl who was undergoing tracheostomy for idiopathic congenital BVFP. Normal phasic activity was observed, ie, the thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle was active during expiration and the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle during inspiration, suggesting a good prognosis for recovery. The child was decannulated at 11 months. Laryngeal EMG to-ether with recording of chest wall movement and intercostal EMG in a 5-year-old girl who was tracheostomy-dependent following tracheoesophageal fistula repair due to BVFP showed phasic activity during expiration for both the TA and PCA muscles, indicating aberrant regeneration of the PCA motor nerve. The timing of laryngeal muscle activity with respiration in the assessment of pediatric congenital BVFP is essential to demonstrate the presence of normal or abnormal medullary respiratory neuronal input to laryngeal motoneurons. In cases in which BVFP is due to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, respiration-related laryngeal EMG will identify aberrant regeneration. Laryngeal EMG should be combined with intercostal muscle EMG in the evaluation of children with significant vocal fold dysfunction of either central or peripheral origin.

In our previous studies using rats, it was demonstrated that tracheal fibroblasts accelerated proliferation and differentiation of the tracheal epithelium in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of fibroblasts on epithelial regeneration in larger tracheal defects in rabbits. Methods: We developed a bioengineered scaffold, the luminal surface of which was coated with fibroblasts. This scaffold was implanted into tracheal defects in 12 rabbits (bioengineered group), and scaffolds without fibroblasts were implanted in 12 rabbits (control group). The regenerated epithelium was histologically examined by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical studies. Results: In the bioengineered group, a stratified squamous epithelium was observed on the surface 7 days after transplantation. However, in the control group, the scaffolds were exposed. Fourteen days after implantation, a columnar ciliated epithelium was observed in the bioengineered group. The average thickness of the regenerated epithelium in the bioengineered group was significantly greater than that in the control group. Conclusions: This study indicated that fibroblasts had a stimulatory effect that hastened regeneration of the epithelium in large tracheal defects.

Our group previously reported the efficacy of treating injured vocal folds by implantation of bone marrow-derived stromal cells containing mesenchymal stern cells. Appropriate scaffolding is necessary for the stem cell implant to achieve optimal results. Terudermis is an atelocollagen sponge derived from calf dermis. It has large pores that permit cellular entry and is degraded in vivo. These characteristics suggest that this material may be a good candidate for use as scaffolding for implantation of cells. The present in vitro Study investigated the feasibility of using Terudermis as such a scaffold. Methods: Bone marrow-derived stromal cells were obtained from GFP (green fluorescent protein) mouse femurs. The cells were seeded into Terudermis and incubated for 5 days. Their survival, proliferation, and expression of extracellular matrix were examined. Results: Bone marrow-derived stromal cells adhered to Terudermis and underwent significant proliferation. Immunohistochemical examination demonstrated that adherent cells were positive for expression of vimentin, desmin, fibronectin, and fsp1 and negative for beta III tubulin. These findings indicate that these cells were mesodermal cells and attached to the atelocollagen fibers biologically. Conclusions: The data suggest that Terudermis may have potential as stein cell implantation scaffolding for the treatment of scarred vocal folds.

Our aim was to identify predictors of pneumonia in patients with aspiration following radiotherapy for HNC. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 52 patients referred for modified videofluoroscopic barium swallow (MVBS) testing at our institution from 2003 to 2007 in order to identify clinical variables associated with the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia. Results: Independent risk factors for the development of pneumonia were tracheobronchial aspiration on MVBS testing (odds ratio [OR], 5.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 20.5; p = 0.025), malnutrition (OR, 4.4; 95% CI, 1.3 to 14.7; p = 0.018). and smoking history (OR, 1.04 per pack-year; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.07 p = 0.011). Through logistic regression analysis. we developed a bivariate predictive model with a sensitivity of 58%, a specificity of 90%, a positive predictive value of 79%, and a negative predictive value of 77% for the development of aspiration pneumonia in our patient population. Conclusions: Depth of aspiration on MVBS testing, malnutrition, and smoking history were strongly associated with the development of aspiration pneumonia in our patient population. The use of clinical variables to determine the risk of aspiration pneumonia is feasible and may help identify high-risk patients. C1 [Purkey, Michael T.; Levine, Marc S.; Prendes, Brandon; Norman, M.

We designed diagnostic algorithms to account for differences in the spectral properties among anatomic sites (gingiva, buccal mucosa, etc). Methods: In vivo reflectance and fluorescence spectra were collected from 71 patients with oral lesions. The tissue was then biopsied and the specimen evaluated by histopathology. Quantitative parameters related to tissue morphology and biochemistry were extracted from the spectra. Diagnostic algorithms specific for combinations of sites with similar spectral properties were developed. Results: Discrimination of benign from dysplastic/malignant lesions was most successful when algorithms were designed for individual sites (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve [ROC-AUC], 0.75 for the lateral surface of the tongue) and was least accurate when all sites were combined (ROC-AUC, 0.60). The combination of sites with similar spectral properties (floor of mouth and lateral surface of the ton-Lie) yielded an ROC-AUC of 0.71. Conclusions: Accurate spectroscopic detection of oral disease must account for spectral variations among anatomic sites. Anatomy-based algorithms for single sites or combinations of sites demonstrated good diagnostic performance in distinguishing benign lesions from dysplastic/malignant lesions and consistently performed better than algorithms developed for all sites combined.

Because psychiatric problems may lead to exaggerated patient-perceived symptoms and RSI values, the aim of this Study was to determine whether the positive predictive value of the RSI for pH probe-documented LPR is influenced by anxiety and depression. Methods: We reviewed the charts of all patients who underwent pH probe testing for LPR between January 2006 and July 2008 at our institution. The RSI, Reflux Finding Score (RFS), medical history, and pH probe findings were recorded. Patients with anxiety or depression were included in the psychiatric disorder (+PSY) group, and those without anxiety or depression comprised the non-psychiatric disorder (-PSY) group. Predictive values of the RSI for pH probe-documented LPR were determined for each group. Results: We included 51 patients: 30 patients (59%) in the -PSY group and 21 patients (41%) in the +PSY group. The mean RSI of the +PSY group was higher than that of the -PSY group (p < 0.05). but the +PSY patients actually had a lower incidence of abnormal probe studies (p < 0.02). The positive predictive value of an elevated RSI for an abnormal pH probe study was poor in the +PSY patients (p = 0.495), but strong in the -PSY group (p = 0.004). Conclusions: The presence of anxiety and depression impairs the predictive value of the RSI for LPR. This finding potentially explains some of the controversy over the diagnostic utility of the RSI.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE bone-anchored hearing aid; cochlear implant; indication criterion; profound mixed hearing loss ID SUPPURATIVE OTITIS-MEDIA; EXPERIENCE AB Objectives: We evaluated 5 patients who were changed over from a Baha Cordelle to a cochlear implant (CI). Moreover, the level of phoneme score was determined at which a Baha Cordelle user was better helped with a CI. Methods: We offer descriptive case reports and a retrospective evaluation of speech recognition in Baha Cordelle users and CI users. Results: In the CI users with noncompromised cochleas, the 10th percentile of the aided phoneme score in quiet at 65 dB sound pressure level (PS65) was 42%. We consider this PS65 as the cutoff level for switching from a Baha Cordelle to a CI. When patients with mixed hearing loss were using the Baha Cordelle, the PS65 of 42% was obtained at a mean sensorineural hearing loss component of about 70 dB hearing level (HL). This 70-dB HL component was used to consider Baha Cordelle users for cochlear implantation. The results of the 5 patients support these transition criteria. Conclusions: A CI is a valuable option in patients with mixed hearing loss when the sensorineural hearing loss component exceeds 70 dB HL or when the PS65 with a Baha Cordelle is less than about 40%. In such patients, the implantation procedure should be individualized on the basis of the clinical findings in the middle ear and mastoid cavity. C1 [Verhaegen, Veronique J. O.; Mulder, Jef J.

Methods: Intraoperative tonsil bleeding was measured prospectively for all children younger than 19 years of age who underwent primary tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis or adenotonsillar hypertrophy at a tertiary care academic children's hospital. We performed IT in 57 patients (33 male, 24 female; mean age, 64.3 months) and ET in 51 patients (20 male, 31 female; mean age, 92.4 months). Results: Microdebrider IT resulted in more intraoperative bleeding than ET (27.9 versus 8.7 mL, p = 0.003; and 1.2 versus 0.2 mL/ka, p < 0.001). The median and maximum blood losses, respectively, were 0.6 and 9.5 mL/kg for IT and 0 and 2.0 mL/kg for ET. Blood loss for ET was not related to whether a resident versus an attending physician was the operating surgeon (p = 0.11). A linear regression model did not demonstrate greater bleeding with recurrent tonsillitis (IT, p 0.39; ET, p = 0.89) or with increased patient age (IT, p = 0.08; ET, p = 0.62). Conclusions: Microdebrider IT produces more intraoperative bleeding than ET. The difference in blood loss is statistically but not clinically significant. Microdebrider IT causes bleeding within acceptable limits, and thus patients and physicians should not be discouraged from choosing this procedure solely on the basis of the amount of intraoperative blood loss.

TI Hypertrophic Anterior Cervical Osteophytes Causing Dysphagia and Airway Obstruction SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE airway obstruction; anterior cervical osteophyte; dysphagia ID IDIOPATHIC SKELETAL HYPEROSTOSIS; FORESTIERS-DISEASE; DISH; MANIFESTATIONS; DYSPNEA AB Hyperostosis of anterior cervical vertebral osteophytes can produce otolaryngological symptoms ranging from mild dysphagia, dysphonia, and foreign body sensation to severe food impaction and stridulous dyspnea. Airway compromise necessitating a tracheostomy is very rare. We discuss the case of an elderly man who presented with progressive dysphagia and a large hypopharyngeal mass as his initial manifestations of hypertrophic anterior cervical osteophytes. After a biopsy of the mass, the patient went into airway distress due to bilateral vocal fold fixation by the enlarging mass and consequently required a surgical airway. A combined team approach to the removal of the osteophytes successfully resolved his symptoms. The clinical, diagnostic, radiologic, and therapeutic principles involved in this case are presented and discussed. The recognition of hypertrophic osteophytes as a potential cause of common otolaryngological symptoms in the elderly population is paramount, as these symptoms can rapidly progress and lead to life-threatening airway obstruction. Medical and surgical interventions can be employed for the treatment of hypertrophic anterior cervical osteophytes, and they often result in favorable outcomes.

Methods: A drug-eluting catheter was placed into 12 cadaveric anterior and posterior ethmoid sinuses by use of a trocar-based insertion device. The device's position was analyzed with computed tomographic scans, and postprocedural dissection was performed. Results: The drug-eluting catheter system was successfully inserted in all ethmoid sinuses without injury to the medial orbital wall, skull base, or sphenoid face. The final position of the distal tip of the catheter averaged 8.1 mm (root mean square [RMS], 3.3 mm) from the skull base, 5.6 mm (RMS, 3.5 mm) from the sphenoid face, and 5.0 mm (RMS, 3.5 mm) from the lamina papyracea; the proximal tip was at the face of the ethmoid bulla and 17.1 mm (RMS, 3.5 mm) below the skull base. Conclusions: A trocar-based instrument can relatively safely and reproducibly introduce a drug-eluting catheter into the ethmoid sinuses without injuring the skull base, lamina papyracea, or sphenoid face. This device may allow safe topical drug delivery into the ethmoid sinuses and serve as a vehicle to treat chronic ethmoid sinusitis with direct and sustained topical therapy.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search (MEDLINE from 195 1; BIOSIS from 1969; EMBASE from 1980) was performed formed for the presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and outcomes of patients with M chelonae infections. Results: We report 4 cases of M chelonae infection, including a nasal abscess following septorhinoplasty with a cartilaginous graft, a case of chronic unilateral nasal obstruction, and the first reported cases of skull base osteomyelitis and maxillary osteitis secondary to M chelonae. All 4 cases involved immunocompetent individuals. Conclusions: Mycobacterium chelonae should be considered in cases of abscesses that persist despite broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics, and in cases of maxillary sinusitis with bony involvement that do not respond to traditional treatment methods.

Methods: Primary fibroblast lines were established from 5 human nasal polyp tissues. We activated the NPDFs with TGF-beta 1 and exposed them to the PPAR gamma agonists ciglitazone and 15-deoxy-Delta-prostaglandin J2. The expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and collagen was measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions, immunocytochemical staining, and collagen assays. Results: The treatment with TGF-beta 1 increased the expression of alpha-SMA and collagen, and expression was markedly attenuated by the PPAR gamma agonists. Conclusions: PPAR gamma agonists inhibit the differentiation of TGF-beta 1-activated NPDFs and their production of collagen.

Methods: Ten fresh cadaveric temporal bones (5 heads) were analyzed by both computed tomographic imaging and dissection procedures, with the help of an image guidance system (DigiPointeur). Eight landmarks, which were selected for their wide citation in the otoneurosurgical literature, were studied. Results: Of the 8 landmarks studied, we obtained results similar to previously published data for 2 (the distance between the temporal squama and the internal auditory meatus [IAM] fundus, and the distance between the top of the anterior semicircular canal [ASCC] arch and the IAM fundus), but divergent measurements for the other 6 (the distance between the temporal squama and the arcuate eminence; the distance between the top of the ASCC arch and the cochlear promontory; the IAM roof thickness; the angle formed by the ASCC arch plane orientation and the IAM axis; the angle formed by the head of the malleus, the geniculate ganglion, and the IAM fundus; and the correspondence between the arcuate eminence and the top of the ASCC arch). Conclusions: The use of an image guidance system allowed us to make sharp and precise measurements of the main anatomic landmarks used during a middle fossa approach. We found 6 measurements to be different from those reported in previously published data out of the 8 landmarks studied.

Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were involved in this study. For gene expression analyses, 15 animals were divided into 3 age groups of young (2 month), adult (9 month), and elderly (18 month) rats. Real-time polymerase chain reaction testing was used to quantify the messenger RNA expression of procollagen types I and III, matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, and HA synthases 1, 2, and 3. The remaining 15 animals were divided into 3 similar age groups and underwent histologic analyses designed to investigate age-associated changes in the deposition of collagen and HA. Results: The results revealed down-regulated expression of procollagen types I and III, matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, and HA synthases 1, 2, and 3 in adult and elderly vocal folds, compared to young vocal folds. Histologically, staining of collagen was dense in the vocal folds of adult and elderly rats, and HA was less dense in the vocal folds of adult and elderly rats than in young rats. Conclusions: A slowdown in the expression of procollagens and matrix metalloproteinases was associated with dense collagen in aged vocal folds, as observed in elderly humans. A similar decrease in the expression of genes that code for HA synthase was consistent with a low density of extracellular matrix HA in the vocal folds of elderly rats.

Methods: We performed in situ hybridization for HPV and retrospective clinical outcome analysis. Results: Of the 48 patients with tonsillar carcinoma, in situ hybridization identified 35% as HPV-positive tumors. Age-matched controls had no evidence of HPV. There was no significant difference between HPV-positive and HPV-negative patients regarding age (p = 0.34), tobacco consumption (p = 0.59), alcohol consumption (p = 0.91), or treatment method (p = 0.39). Forty-four patients were eligible for outcome analysis. The overall rate of recurrence in this population was 25%, and the disease-specific survival rate was 84%. There was no significant difference between the two groups either in the incidence of recurrence (p = 0.14) or in the disease-specific survival rate (p = 0.19). HPV-associated tumors developed from the tonsillar crypts significantly more frequently than did HPV-negative tumors (p = 0.01). Conclusions: As previously described, HPV is significantly associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil; however, HPV status in our series did not correlate with clinical outcome. Morphologically, we found that HPV-positive tumors had their origin in the tonsillar crypts, whereas HPV-negative tumors arose from the surface epithelium.

TI Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis in Premature Infants After Ligation of Patent Ductus Arteriosus: Vascular Clip Versus Suture Ligature SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE iatrogenic disease; ligation; patent ductus arteriosus; premature infant ID LOW-BIRTH-WEIGHT; COMPLICATIONS; CLOSURE AB Objectives: We investigated risk factors associated with unilateral iatrogenic vocal fold paralysis (IVFP) in the context of ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and compared the rates of paralysis between vascular clip and suture ligation procedures. Methods: We performed a prospective examination of infants with isolated PDA treated surgically during 1995 to 2005. Statistical significance was determined with a 2-tailed t-test. Results: Of 68 PDA ligations, 13 cases of left-sided IVFP were diagnosed, for an overall incidence of 19%. All cases of IVFP occurred in 55 infants who weighed less than 1 kg at birth. Suture ligature was used in 60% of all PDA ligation patients, and vascular clips in 40%. The incidence of IVFP in patients with vascular clips (19%) was similar to the incidence in those with suture ligature (20%). Hoarseness or stridor was present in 69% of patients with IVFP, compared to 17% of normal controls (p < 0.001). The rate of aspiration was not increased in the IVFP group; however, 15% of the patients with IVFP had episodes of decreased oxygen saturation, versus 7% of infants with normal vocal fold mobility. Conclusions: A hoarse infant with a birth weight of less than 1 kg who has undergone PDA ligation should be examined for unilateral IVFP. Vascular clips and suture ligature are associated with similar rates of IVFP. C1 [Spanos, William C.; Brookes, James T.; Smith, Mark C.; Smith, Richard J.

Therefore, sublesional injections of the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab (Avastin) were given to assess the effect on disease recurrence and phonatory function. Methods: A retrospective investigation was done in a pilot group of 10 adult patients with bilateral glottal papillomatosis who had prior angiolytic laser treatment with established patterns of recurrence. The patients underwent 5 bevacizumab injections (5 to 10 mg) into the diseased vocal folds along with 5327-nm pulsed KTP laser photoangiolysis treatments 4 to 6 weeks apart. Their disease resolution was compared to findings from prior laser treatment alone, and objective measures of vocal function (acoustic, aerodynamic, Voice-Related Quality of Life survey) were obtained. Results: All 10 patients had a greater than 90% reduction in recurrence. Four of the 10 had resolution. Four of the 10 have limited recurrent or persistent disease, receive injections of bevacizumab at 8- to 12-week intervals, and have not required laser treatment. Two of the 10 have ongoing periodic office-based KTP laser treatment along with bevacizumab injections. No patient has required microlaryngeal surgery with general anesthesia, and all 10 have had substantial improvement in vocal function. Conclusions: This pilot investigation provides preliminary evidence that bevacizumab injections enhance photoangiolytic laser treatment of glottal papillomatosis while enhancing phonatory function. Coupling an anti angiogenesis agent with pulsed KTP laser photoangiolysis is conceptually promising, since the mechanisms of action are complementary.

These disorders are thought to be fibroplastic anomalies in the cover portion of the vocal fold that cause deterioration of the vibratory properties of the vocal fold mucosa. Histologic studies have revealed disorganization of extracellular matrix that needs to be addressed in the treatment of scarred vocal folds. Replacement of scar tissues with an appropriate implant may lead to regeneration of the vocal fold mucosa and its tissue properties. This retrospective case Study examined the feasibility of using all atelocollagen sheet as a regenerative implant. Methods: Six patients with a post-cordectomy scar or sulcus vocalis underwent implantation of an atelocollagen sheet into the lamina propria of the vocal folds. The procedure consisted of elevation of a microflap, dissection and removal of scar tissue, implantation of the material, and wound closure. Vocal function was evaluated before and after surgery by stroboscopic examination and by aerodynamic and acoustic analyses. Results: The postoperative changes of aerodynamic and acoustic parameters varied among patients; however, gradual improvement was seen in most cases over a year. Stroboscopic findings also revealed gradual improvement of vibratory properties in most cases. Conclusions: Implantation of an atelocollagen sheet may have restorative effects oil vocal fold scarring and sulcus vocalis in terms of tissue properties and function of the mucosa.

TI Piezoelectric Surgical Device in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: An Initial Clinical Experience SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE chronic sinusitis; endoscopic sinus surgery; piezoelectric surgery; sinus endoscopy; ultrasonic bone aspirator ID BONE SURGERY; AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE; CRANIOFACIAL SURGERY; MEMBRANE ELEVATION; OSTEOTOMY; PIEZOSURGERY AB Revision endoscopic sinus surgery presents special challenges, such as the need to remove thick osteoneogenic bone close to the orbit or skull base. Currently available drills and microdebriders have shortcomings for this task, including risk to the underlying periorbita or dura. Recently, piezoelectric ultrasound technology has been used to remove bone while preserving adjacent soft tissue structures. This technology has been effective in several areas of the body, and it logically follows that it may have beneficial rhinologic applications. The purpose of this medical communication is to report an initial clinical experience with piezoelectric technology in revision sinus surgery. The piezoelectric Surgical device was used during revision endoscopic sinus surgery in 14 patients in the author's practice from June 2006 to January 2009. All patients had an underlying bone component to their sinus condition, such as osteoneogenesis adjacent to the orbit or skull base. The piezoelectric Surgical device performed successfully in removing osteoneogenic bone, and no complications were noted from its use. Piezoelectric surgical technology generates low-frequency ultrasound that dissects bone and appears to offer an option to mechanical drill instrumentation when used during endoscopic sinus surgery to address thick osteoneogenic bone. The clinical experience reported herein shows initial feasibility of the technology in selected cases of sinus surgery. On the basis of the favorable observations from this clinical experience, further exploration and discussion would appear to be valuable.

With the use of monitored anesthesia care (MAC), however, deep sedation is maintained during surgery, followed by conscious sedation in which the patient can respond to test questions that investigate correct device position and function. The main aim of this study was to determine whether intraoperative audiometric assessment was feasible with MAC with target-controlled infusion in vibroplasty. An additional aim was to determine whether MAC was sufficiently comfortable for patients during the procedure. Methods: The study group comprised 8 patients who underwent vibroplasty under sedation. Before suturing, audiometric assessment was done by stimulating the external auditory processor with pure tones at 0.5. 1, 2, and 4 kHz. Blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation level, heart rate, and end tidal carbon dioxide level were monitored during the procedure and at awakening. Results: Audiometric assessment was successfully completed in all 8 patients. The selected parameters indicated that no patient experienced pain or discomfort during surgery; the absence of discomfort was confirmed I to 2 hours after the operation by simple questioning. Conclusions: We found MAC to be an efficient and relatively safe technique for verifying the correct coupling of the floating mass transducer with the middle car during vibroplasty. The patients were able to respond appropriately to questions and commands; moreover, none reported having experienced pain or discomfort during the operation.

Methods: Cases of pituitary surgery from the Department of Neurosurgery database included an inception cohort of all patients who had endoscopic procedures and consecutive patients who had open procedures between January 1998 and February 2008. The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 was mailed. Results: Since January 1998, 71 endoscopic and 122 open pituitary surgeries had been performed. The mean follow-up was longer for open procedures (49.3 months) than for endoscopic procedures (18.8 months). Recurrence was more common after open surgery (28.4%) than after endoscopic surgery (18.2%; p = 0.219). The most common diagnosis was macroadenoma (77.1 % of endoscopic procedures and 93.4% of open procedures). The mean hospital stay was shorter for endoscopic procedures (4.1 days) than for open procedures (6.0 days; p < 0.001). Of patients who presented with visual deterioration, 53.8% with endoscopic surgery and 46.7% with open surgery had improvement. Among patients with normal preoperative hormonal function, 27.5% of patients in the endoscopy group and 29.4% of patients in the open group required medication for more than 2 months after surgery. Complications occurred in 33.3% of endoscopic procedures and 43.4% of open procedures. Cerebrospinal fluid leaks were more common in the endoscopy group (p = 0.035), and diabetes insipidus lasting more than 30 days was more common in the open group (p = 0.017). The mean Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 score was lower for patients in the endoscopy group (20.4) than for those in the open group (23.2; p = 0.41). Patients in the endoscopy group had a significantly lower rhinology-specific mean score (6.5) than did patients in the open group (9.2; p = 0.03). Conclusions: The endoscopic approach to pituitary surgery offers tumor outcomes comparable to those of open surgery, with no greater incidence of complications and an improved rhinology-specific quality of life.

We describe 2 such cases that we treated, and I other case described in the literature. A review of these 3 cases indicates a characteristic clinical and radiologic presentation and a consistent site of cerebrospinal fluid leak. All cases presented with cerebrospinal fluid leak 12 to 22 weeks after septoplasty and had slit-shaped dehiscences at the horizontal lamella of the cribriform plate. Endoscopic repair was successful in all. Delayed cerebrospinal fluid leaks may occur as a consequence of septal surgery. It is probable that uncontrolled twisting and rocking manipulations of the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone are transmitted to, and injure, the cribriform plate.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study comparing bilateral endoscopic ligation of the sphenopalatine artery alone (ELSPA) and bilateral endoscopic ligation of the sphenopalatine artery with concomitant bilateral external ligation of the anterior ethmoidal artery (ELSPEA) in the management of persistent epistaxis. Clinical and hematologic information, preoperative and surgical care, and short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed. The main outcome measure was recurrence of epistaxis in the short- and long-term follow-tip periods. Results: Forty-five patients were enrolled in the study. There were 20 patients in group A (ELSPA) and 25 in group B (ELSPEA). Three patients in group A and no patients in group B had long-term (more than 2 weeks after surgery) rebleeding. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: We conclude that ELSPA and ELSPEA are effective, well-tolerated, reliable procedures if performed by an experienced surgeon. Their failure can be explained by anatomic lateral nasal wall variations and perioperative technical difficulties. They can be appropriate methods to treat severe recurrent epistaxis refractory to repeated nasal packing.

TI Thyroid Lymphosonography: A Novel Method for Evaluating Lymphatic Drainage SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 7th International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer CY JUL 19-23, 2008 CL San Francisco, CA SP Amer Head & Neck Soc DE lymphosonography; sentinel node biopsy; thyroid ID SENTINEL NODE BIOPSY; PROGNOSTIC-FACTORS; DIFFERENTIATED CARCINOMA; NECK DISSECTION; MELANOMA; HEAD; FEASIBILITY; METASTASIS; NEOPLASMS; MODEL AB Objectives: We evaluated lymphosonography, or contrast-enhanced, ultrasonography (US)-guided sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection, as a technique for demonstrating the lymphatic drainage of the thyroid gland. Methods: In this prospective animal study, four 50-kg Yorkshire swine underwent transcutaneous injection of a US contrast agent and methylene blue dye into the thyroid gland. Contrast-enhanced US was used to identify draining lymphatic channels and SLNs. Sentinel node biopsy was conducted. Subsequently, bilateral neck and upper mediastinal dissection was carried out. Results: In 3 of 4 cases, a blue dye-positive and US contrast-positive SLN was identified, We identified SLNs in level IV in 2 cases. One case revealed 2 adjacent nodes in the superior mediastinum. In I case, a lymphatic channel was identified traveling into the mediastinum, but exposure of the SLN could not be obtained. No residual blue dye-positive or US contrast-positive nodes were identified on subsequent dissection. Conclusions: Lymphosonography of the thyroid gland in a porcine model correlates well with blue dye-guided sentinel node biopsy and is technically feasible, although in some cases access to the SLN may be difficult. This technique could potentially enable a detailed analysis of thyroidal lymphatic drainage if applied to humans.

TI Additional Disease Burden From Hay Fever and Sinusitis Accompanying Asthma SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE asthma; disease burden; hay fever; sinusitis ID ALLERGIC RHINITIS; UNIFIED AIRWAY; UNITED-STATES; RHINOSINUSITIS; IMPACT AB Objectives: We sought to determine the additional disease burden imparted by sinusitis and hay fever (allergic rhinitis) to patients with asthma. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of asthma, hay fever, or sinusitis were extracted from the National Health Interview Survey for the 1997 to 2006 adult sample. Disease groups consisting of patients with asthma alone, asthma + hay fever, asthma + sinusitis, and asthma + hay fever + sinusitis were assembled. Disease groups were then compared according to total health-care visits per year, emergency room visits per year, health-care spending per year, and number of workdays lost per year to determine the disease burden. Results: We identified 11,813 patients (mean age, 45.5 years) who reported active asthma with or without hay fever or sinusitis comorbidity. Of these, 5,931 patients (50%) were identified with asthma alone, 1,134 (10%) with combined asthma + hay fever, 2,461 (21%) with asthma + sinusitis, and 2,287 (19%) with combined asthma + hay fever + sinusitis. Patients with asthma + sinusitis and those with asthma + sinusitis + hay fever had more total health-care visits and emergency room visits than did those with asthma alone (p < 0.001). All three groups with comorbidities had higher healthcare expenditures than did the group with asthma alone (p <= 0.002). Patients with asthma + sinusitis and those with asthma + hay fever + sinusitis missed more workdays than did patients in the group with asthma alone (10.0 and 13.1 versus 7.2, respectively; p < 0.001). Comorbid hay fever alone did not increase workdays lost (6.6 days; p = 0.983). Conclusions: The additional disease burden of sinusitis oil asthma is greater than that of hay fever. These data highlight the importance of identifying, comorbid diagnoses with asthma. C1 [Bhattacharyya, Neil; Kepnes, Lynn J.] Brigham & Womens Hosp, Div Otolaryngol, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

Methods: Thirty-two cases of MG were analyzed. The laryngeal behaviors and characteristics of laryngeal electromyography were evaluated, and voice assessment and repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) tests were conducted. Results: The initial symptoms of patients were ptosis and/or diplopia in 28, dysphagia and slurred speech in 3, and limb weakness in 1. Only 8 patients had slight hoarseness and vocal fatigue, and 4 patients had positive laryngeal signs. When compared with normal subjects, the patients with MG had worse results on the acoustic analysis of shimmer, their normalized noise energy was greater, and the harmonics-to-noise ratio and maximum phonation time were significantly lower. The RNS findings were positive in 28 patients and negative in 4 patients. The average (+/-SD) amplitude decrement was 31.9% +/- 19.1%. The mean number of involved laryngeal Muscles was 2.22 +/- 1.35. Cricothyroid muscles were involved in 26 cases, thyroarytenoid muscles were involved in 14 cases, posterior cricoarytenoid muscles were involved in 6 cases, and lateral cricoarytenoid muscles were involved in 2 cases. Conclusions: Although few patients presented with laryngeal symptoms as their initial symptoms, most patients with MG exhibited asymmetry and abnormal findings on laryngeal electromyography. The RNS test for laryngeal muscles is a more sensitive indicator for the diagnosis of MG, especially in the cricothyroid muscle.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the oncological follow-up of 58 patients treated for cervical CUP. Methods: From 1986 to 2006, 58 patients with cervical CUP were treated at the authors' institution. Treatment consisted of neck dissection alone in 8, irradiation or chemoradiation in 5, combined surgery and radiotherapy in 28, and surgery and radiochemotherapy in 17. Results: The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates for all patients were 52.9% and 40.9%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year disease-specific Survival rates were 50.9% and 39.7%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year neck control rates were 73.7% and 67.3%, respectively. Neck dissection followed by radiochemotherapy was associated with the best 3-year and 5-year locoregional control rates. Extracapsular extension was a predictor of survival, but not of neck control. Distant metastases developed in about one third of all patients and were the most frequent cause of tumor-related death in cases of advanced neck disease. Conclusions: Despite the fact that regional control can be achieved in many cases, survival rates may be limited by distant metastasis, especially in patients with advanced neck disease.

TI Locus for Familial Migrainous Vertigo Disease Maps to Chromosome 5q35 SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE familial disease; gene; linkage study; migraine; vertigo ID SUSCEPTIBILITY LOCUS; MENIERES-SYNDROME; LINKAGE; AURA; GENOME; GENES AB Objectives: Migrainous vertigo (episodic vertigo associated with migraine) is sometimes inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. However, neither disease genes nor loci that might be responsible have been reported. We sought to map the genetic locus for familial migrainous vertigo in a 4-generation family and to define the progression of disease in this family. Methods: We studied 23 members in a family in whom migrainous vertigo was inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Clinical information obtained included case histories and results of otolaryngological, neurologic, audiometric, and imaging evaluations. Genome-wide linkage analysis was performed with Affymetrix Genechip Human Mapping 10K microarrays. Genotyping of family members' DNA with microsatellite markers was used to further assess candidate loci identified from the whole-genome scan. Results: Of 23 family members, 10 suffered from migrainous vertigo beginning after 35 years of age. Migraine head aches usually preceded the onset of vertigo by 15 to 20 years. Longitudinal audiometric Studies over 12 years showed stable, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss consistent with presbycusis. Low-frequency or fluctuating hearing loss was not observed. The results of vestibular testing and imaging Studies were unremarkable. Genetic analysis defined a 12.0 MB interval on chromosome 5q35 between loci rs244895 and D5S2073 that contained the disease gene (logarithm of odds score, 4.21). Conclusions: We report the first locus for familial migrainous vertigo, which mapped to 5q35.

We have discovered that pepsin is taken up by laryngeal epithelial cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. This finding reveals a novel mechanism by which pepsin could cause cell damage, potentially even in nonacidic refluxate. The objective of this study was to determine whether pepsin, at pH 7.4 and thus in nonacidic refluxate, causes cell damage. Methods: Cultured hypopharyngeal epithelial (FaDu) cells were exposed to human pepsin (0.1 mg/mL) at pH 7.4 for either 1 hour or 12 hours at 37 degrees C and analyzed by electron microscopy, cytotoxicity assay, and SuperArray. Results: We report mitochondrial and Golgi complex damage in cells exposed to pepsin at neutral pH, observed by electron microscopy. We also report cell toxicity of pepsin at pH 7.4, measured by a cytotoxicity assay. Furthermore, using SuperArray, we found that pepsin at pH 7.4 significantly alters the expression levels of multiple genes implicated in stress and toxicity. Conclusions: These findings are perhaps the first to explain why many patients have symptoms and injury associated with nonacidic reflux, and could have important implications for the development of new therapies for reflux, such as pepsin receptor antagonists and/or irreversible inhibitors of peptic activity.

Methods: We examined a retrospective case series of 39 adult patients who underwent CaHA paste injection for vocal fold rehabilitation over a 5-year period. The outcomes included the change in the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) score; procedure-related complications; and the need for follow-up voice procedures. Results: The VHI scores demonstrated overall improvement, with a decrease from the preoperative mean of 61.2 +/- 24.0 to a postoperative mean of 35.9 +/- 26.3 (p = 0.0001) after a mean follow-up time of 17.8 +/- 13.6 months. The procedure was more likely to succeed in patients with paralysis and/or paresis than in patients with glottic soft tissue defects. After injection, the VHI scores worsened in 3 of 7 patients (43%) in the soft tissue defect group, compared to only 2 of 28 (7%) in the paralysis and/or paresis group (p = 0.04). Four of 7 patients with soft tissue defects (57%) required secondary vocal procedures to improve the voice, compared to only 2 of 32 (6%) in the paralysis and/or paresis group (p = 0.006). Conclusions: Injection of CaHA paste results in significantly improved vocal scores in the majority of patients. Use of the paste was less satisfactory in patients with soft tissue defects because of poor retention of the paste in the scarred vocal fold remnant. C1 [Gillespie, M.

Methods: Ninety subjects with complete occlusion of the ear canal were enrolled in a randomized, subject- and observer-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three different treatments: Otocerum, Taponoto, or sterile saline solution (control group). The test medication was instilled into an occluded ear for 1,5 minutes. After this treatment, the subject's ear was irrigated with 50 mL of water. The main outcome was the proportion of tympanic membranes completely visualized after treatment. Results: One subject among the 90 enrolled did not accept a second ear irrigation and was excluded from the study. Neither Otocerum nor Taponoto was superior to saline solution. Cerumen occlusion resolved in 21 of 32 subjects treated with Otocerum (65.6%), 16 of 29 treated with Taponoto (55.2%), and 12 of 28 treated with saline solution (42.9%). Conclusions: The use of Taponoto or Otocerum did not significantly improve the proportion of tympanic membranes that were completely visualized compared with saline solution when they were instilled 15 minutes before ear irrigation.

There was 1 clear-cut case of acute myopericarditis and 5 more patients with pathological findings suggesting cardiac complication. Methods: During a 6-month period (November 2006 to April 2007), we prospectively studied 100 consecutive patients admitted to our department with acute tonsillitis for the purpose of detecting acute myopericarditis. We obtained for each patient a serial electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, and took blood samples. All blood samples were analyzed for the presence of the marker troponin 1 and for cardiac enzymes. Results: One patient (male) had a definitive diagnosis of myopericarditis, and another 5 patients (3 of whom were female) had abnormal cardiac findings suggestive of myopericarditis. Conclusions: Otolaryngologists should be aware of the possibility of cardiac involvement in acute tonsillitis and perform an adequate workup whenever such a possibility is suspected.

Methods: For the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments, we divided ten 18-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats into two groups that received serial injections of sham (saline solution) or bFGF (2 ng/mu L) and euthanized them 2 weeks after the initial injection to investigate acute changes in ECM gene expression. We treated a separate group of 5 animals unilaterally and sacrificed them 4 weeks after the initial injection to investigate histologic changes in the deposition of collagen and HA. Results: Real-time PCR revealed significantly up-regulated HA synthase (HAS)-2, HAS-3, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and procollagen type I gene expression in the bFGF treatment group as compared to the sham treatment group. Histologic staining revealed significantly increased deposition of HA in the bFGF-treated vocal fold as compared to the sham-treated vocal fold. No differences in ECM collagen levels were observed between treatment sides. Conclusions: Basic fibroblast growth factor induced the up-regulation of HAS-2, HAS-3, MMP-2, and procollagen type 1. Histologically, aged vocal folds treated with bFGF revealed increased deposition of HA as compared to sham-treated vocal folds.

In the past decade, reports have indicated a rise in the incidence of AM in the pediatric Population. A parallel rise in the use of computed tomography (CT) imaging has Occurred. The rise in the use of CT scanning in the pediatric population, entraining with it a rise in pediatric brain irradiation, has led us to question the necessity of using CT for pediatric patients with AM. Methods: We reviewed the medical files of pediatric patients who had AM in the years 2005 through 2007. Results: Fifty patients were identified. The gender distribution was equal, and the ages ranged from 4 months to 12 years. Of the 46 patients who were admitted to Our institution "de novo," only 2 underwent CT scanning on admission, and 4 other patients had CT performed during hospitalization. The majority of patients (92%) with AM did not have a CT scan performed and were treated conservatively with no complications. Conclusions: In most pediatric patients, CT does not seem to be indispensable in the diagnosis of AM. Conservative therapy and close follow-up seem to suffice for most.

Methods: This study includes 113 patients who had tympanoplasty type I tympanic membrane reconstruction between 1997 and 2007, 47 with tragal cartilage and 66 with temporalis fascia. Fourteen patients in the cartilage group and 9 patients in the temporalis fascia group also had mastoidectomy. The average follow-up was 3.2 years. The hearing threshold was calculated as the mean value of the thresholds for 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 Hz. A paired-samples t-test was used for comparison of the preoperative and postoperative air and bone conduction hearing, thresholds and air-bone gaps. Results: Significant recovery was found in the postoperative air conduction threshold and air-bone gap in both the temporalis fascia and cartilage groups as compared to those before surgery (p < 0.001). However, the average air and bone conduction thresholds and air-bone gap were found to be statistically different after surgery in the cartilage group as compared to those in the temporalis fascia group. There was no significant difference in hearing parameters before and after, surgery in patients with or without mastoidectomy in either the cartilage group or the temporalis fascia group. Conclusions: The hearing gain in patients with cartilage shield grafting was better than that in those who had temporalis fascia tympanoplasty, although experimental analysis shows loss of acoustic energy for thick and large shield cartilage grafts.

Methods: Sixteen dogs were classified as having complete injuries (transection) or incomplete injuries (ligation, half-section, and crush). The characteristics of nerve injuries were evaluated by endoscopic examination, laryngeal electromyography (LEMG), and histopathologic examination at 0 to 12 months after the injury. Results: After the RLN injury, the average muscle fiber diameter and the average muscle bundle diameter of the affected muscles were decreased, and the average number of muscular cell nuclei per square inch increased. Fibrillation potentials were found I to 3 months after injury, and reinnervation potentials appeared 3 to 6 months after incomplete injury. For nerve transection and ligation, there was no reaction with LEMG instantly after injury involving vocal fold fixation. Vocal fold motion did not improve in members of the complete injury group, whereas all of the vocal folds in the members of the nerve ligation subgroup had limited activity in the later period. Various forms of vocal fold mobility were observed after injury in the half-section subgroup. Animals in the crush subgroup had normal EMG signals combined with abnormal LEMG signals with lower amplitudes after injury. Vocal fold fixation was not observed in this subgroup. Conclusions: We found the causes of nerve injury, in order of decreasing severity, to be transection, ligation, half-section, and crush.

The main outcome measures were the Pediatric Voice Handicap Index (pVHI) total score and the Overall Severity score on the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Methods: The percent Overall Severity CAPE-V score (score divided by 100) and the percent pVHI score (score divided by 92) were calculated. A Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare CAPE-V scores with the pVHI total scores. The relationship between the pVHI scores and the CAPE-V scores was investigated with a Spearman correlation. Subgroup analysis was performed to determine the relationship of surgery type to CAPE-V and pVHI scores. Results: Fifty subjects with a history of airway surgery who were evaluated between 2005 and 2008 were identified, Forty-two of the 50 Subjects had complete data for review. Their median age was 7.1 years (range, 3.3 to 17.9 years). Their pVHI total scores had a median of 30 (range, I to 80). Their Overall Severity CAPE-V scores had a median of 50.5 (range, 0 to 98). Their median CAPE-V percent was higher than their median pVHI percent (50.5% versus 32.6%; p = 0.0003). A weak correlation was found between the Overall Severity CAPE-V score and the pVHI total score (rho = 0.41; p = 0.0003). There was a trend toward higher Overall Severity CAPE-V scores in patients who underwent cricotracheal resection. The total number of airway surgeries was significantly correlated with the Overall Severity CAPE-V score (rho = 0.6; p < 0.0001) but not with the pVHI score. Conclusions: Children who undergo airway reconstruction often have a resulting voice disturbance that can affect their lives in multiple dimensions. The results of this study revealed a weak-to-fair correlation between the parent-reported pVHI total score and expert ratings of voice quality using the CAPE-V. In this patient population, both of these tools provided important information regarding the relationship of the severity of voice disturbance to its handicapping effects.

Methods: A retrospective review of the authors' patients at 2 institutions with unilateral true vocal fold motion impairment was carried out over a 10-year period. Of these, 10 patients were identified who presented with stridor and dyspnea as a result of synkinesis. Six cases were a result of thyroidectomy, 1 case resulted from recurrent laryngeal nerve section for spasmodic dysphonia, 1 case occurred after anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion, and in 2 cases no cause was identified. Results: Three patients underwent tracheotomy. Two patients underwent partial arytenoidectomy. Seven patients underwent botulinum toxin injection; 2 were treated with breathing therapy, and in 1 case breathing therapy was recommended. Seven patients underwent treatment with more than 1 method. Conclusions: Unilateral vocal fold paralysis may present with airway obstruction as a result of synkinesis. Treatment should be incremental and starts with breathing therapy and botulinum toxin injection. Partial arytenoidectomy or tracheotomy may be necessary for refractory cases.

TI Microdebrider-Assisted Supraglottoplasty for Laryngomalacia SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 112th Annual Meeting of the American-Academy-of-Otolaryngology-Head-and-Neck-Surgery CY SEP 21-24, 2008 CL Chicago, IL SP Amer Acad Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg DE airway surgery; epiglottoplasty; laryngomalacia; stridor; supraglottoplasty ID RECURRENT RESPIRATORY PAPILLOMATOSIS; CHILDREN; LASER AB Objectives: We describe our series in the surgical treatment of laryngomalacia using a microdebrider. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent microdebrider-assisted supraglottoplasty for laryngomalacia between October 2004 and February 2008. Patients with neurologic conditions and secondary airway lesions were excluded. The main outcome measures included complications, pain, resolution of stridor, presence of aspiration, and need for revision surgery. Results: Twenty-eight patients underwent microdebrider-assisted supraglottoplasty. The mean age at diagnosis was 109 days, and the mean age at the time of the procedure was 182 days. Nineteen patients (68%) had gastroesophageal reflux at diagnosis. The average operative time was 35.7 minutes (range, 11 to 65 minutes). No intraoperative complications or device problems occurred. Two patients remained intubated after the procedure. One patient required a tracheotomy, and 1 patient underwent revision supralottoplasty. Three patients had aspiration that resolved. There was negligible pain from the procedure, as all patients immediately resumed a diet. All patients had immediate or eventual resolution of stridor. Conclusions: This is the largest series of patients who underwent microdebrider-assisted supralottoplasty for laryngomalacia. This procedure is relatively safe, with minimal pain, and effective in patients with laryngomalacia. Microdebrider-assisted supraglottoplasty is the method of choice for supraglottoplasty in our institution.

TI Typing Vocal Fold Vibratory Patterns in Excised Larynx Experiments Via Digital Kymography SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE digital kymography; mucosal wave; signal typing ID NONLINEAR DYNAMIC-ANALYSIS; HIGH-SPEED VIDEOENDOSCOPY; STRANGE ATTRACTORS; AUTOMATIC METHOD; VIDEOKYMOGRAPHY; VIBRATIONS; MODEL; VOICES; CLASSIFICATION; PERTURBATION AB Objectives: Signal typing is central to the understanding of vocal fold vibratory patterns. Digital kymography (DKG) allows the direct observation of vocal fold vibratory patterns, and therefore, using DKG for vibratory signal typing may provide a useful complement to traditional signal typing techniques. Methods: Video data collected from 20 larynges excised from mongrel dogs were observed with DKG in order to find examples of type 1 (nearly periodic), type 2 (subharmonic), and type 3 (aperiodic) vibratory patterns. The time series, frequency spectra, and correlation dimensions were calculated for each signal type. Results: The type 1 pattern showed a periodic time series of glottal edges and a discrete frequency spectrum. The type 2 vibratory pattern displayed a time series of alternating high- and low-amplitude waves and a frequency spectrum that included a subharmonic (F0/2) frequency component. Regular and symmetric vibratory patterns were observed in the type 1 and type 2 patterns. The type 3 vibratory pattern was characterized by an aperiodic time series of glottal edges, a broadband frequency spectrum, and irregular and asymmetric vibratory patterns. The correlation dimension estimates increased from type 1 to type 2 to type 3. Conclusions: Imaging with DKG demonstrated an ability to assign a signal type to various laryngeal vibrations. Signal typing techniques utilizing direct observation of the vocal folds could be useful in determining valid methods for the analysis of vocal fold vibrations.

In this in vitro study, we aimed to clarify this aspect in order to better understand the effects of HGF on the vocal folds. Methods: Fibroblasts were obtained from the lamina propria of the vocal folds of 5 Sprague-Dawley rats and were cultured with HGF at concentrations of 100, 10, 1, and 0 ng/mL. The cells were collected on days 1, 3, and 7, and the expression of endogenous HGF, its receptor c-Met, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), procollagen types I and III, and hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS)-1 and HAS-2 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) was examined by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: The expression of endogenous HGF and HAS-1 mRNAs increased significantly when exogenous HGF was administered at a concentration of 1 ng/mL. On day 1, the expression of TGF-beta 1 and HAS-2 mRNAs increased si.-nificantly in response to 1 ng/mL HGF. Conclusions: Exogenous HGF triggered the up-regulation of endogenous HGF, TGF-beta 1, HAS-1, and HAS-2 mRNAs in vocal fold fibroblasts.

Methods: All adult patient visits from 2000 to 2004 were reviewed for ICD-9 diagnostic codes representing otolaryngological diseases. Chart review was performed for patients referred to a volunteer otolaryngologist to confirm diagnoses and referrals. Results: During the study period, the clinic served 11,690 unique patients in 59,060 patient visits. Otolaryngological diagnoses accounted for 8,959 of these total visits (15.2%), 94% of which were managed by primary care providers. The most common diagnoses were "upper respiratory infections," "symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions of the head and neck, cough, dysphagia," "other diseases of upper respiratory tract," and "disorders of the ear/mastoid process." An on-site volunteer otolaryngologist provided consultation on 6% of all patients with otolaryngological diagnoses, averaging 108 consultations per year; 39 patients were subsequently referred to community specialists for surgery and audiology services. Conclusions: There is a small but significant need for otolaryngologists in providing health care for homeless individuals in an urban setting. The authors encourage otolaryngologists and homeless health-care clinics to establish a relationship for volunteer services.

To date, there has been only one other description of this technique as a localization method to direct cancer resection in the neck. We offer further support for the broader application of this technique by reporting its use in the successful identification and resection of recurrent papillary thyroid cancer after a paratracheal node dissection failed to localize the cancer. Methods: We report a case and discuss the relevant literature regarding ultrasound-guided localization and resection of recurrent well-differentiated thyroid cancel. Results: We were able to achieve successful identification and resection of recurrent papillary thyroid cancer using this technique. Conclusions: This technique may be useful in the treatment of selected cases of recurrent thyroid cancer to increase the efficacy and safety of surgical resection.

TI Dysplasia in Adults With Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis: Incidence and Risk Factors SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Annual Meeting of the Middle Section of the Triological-Society CY JAN 18-20, 2008 CL Chicago, IL SP Triol Soc DE cidofovir; dysplasia; laryngeal papilloma; voice ID LARYNGEAL PAPILLOMA; INTRALESIONAL CIDOFOVIR; CANCER AB Objectives: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) causes significant morbidity in laryngology. The incidence of dysplasia in adult patients with RRP has not been well described. In this study, the risk factors and incidence of RRP-associated dysplasia are investigated. Methods: Pathology specimens from patients with RRP overa 6-year period are reviewed, along with the patients' clinical and demographic information. Results: Fifty-two male and 21 female patients (mean, 50 years) with RRP were identified. Some degree of dysplasia was identified in 22 of 170 specimens (13%). Sixteen of the 73 patients (21.9%) were found to have dysplasia at some point during their clinical course. Although the patients with RRP-associated dysplasia were older (56.3 versus 48.3 years of a-e), this difference did not reach statistical significance (p < 0.09, unpaired mest). There was a male preponderance in both dysplastic (10 of 16; 62.5%) and non-dysplastic (42 of 57; 73%) cases. The mean number of operations for RRP was 2.4 for patients without dysplasia and 3.2 for those with dysplasia; there was no significant difference between the groups. Seven of the 16 patients with dysplasia (44%) and 22 of the 57 patients without dysplasia (39%) had a history of tobacco use (p < 0.77, Fisher's exact test). Conclusions: Dysplasia was discovered in more than 20% of adult patients with RRP studied over a 6-year period. Age, gender, tobacco history, and operative frequency were not identifiable risk factors for the presence of dysplasia.

In most cases, the removed bone is discarded. We describe our experience using septal bone for deviated nose correction, and analyze the postoperative results. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 23 patients who underwent correction of deviated nose using nasal septal bone to straighten deviated septal cartilage from January 2004 to August 2008. The subjective satisfaction of patients was evaluated 6 to 12 months after rhinoplasty with a questionnaire. Aesthetic outcomes were evaluated by 2 independent rhinoplastic surgeons who compared preoperative and postoperative photographs. To evaluate outcomes objectively, we made anthropometric measurements of the deviated nose before and after surgery using facial photographs. Results: All patients indicated cosmetic satisfaction and improvement in nasal obstruction. The outcome analysis by 2 independent rhinoplastic surgeons indicated that 13 patients had excellent, 5 patients had good, and 5 had fair outcomes. Anthropometric measurements of the deviated nose showed that both the curved deviated angles and the linear deviated angle had improved (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Use of nasal septal bone to straighten deviated septal cartilage appears to be feasible in corrective rhinoplasty, and may be particularly beneficial in cartilage-depleted patients. Key Words: bony septum, deviated nose, perpendicular plate, rhinoplasty, septal bone graft, vomer.

TI Utility of Bronchoscopy for Recurrent Croup SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 23rd Annual Meeting of the American-Society-of-Pediatric-Otolaryngology CY MAY 02-04, 2008 CL Orlando, FL SP Amer Soc Pediat Otolaryngol DE croup; laryngotracheal reconstruction; laryngotracheobronchitis; laryngotracheoplasty; subglottic stenosis ID DIAGNOSIS; EPIGLOTTITIS; AIRWAY AB Objectives: We performed a retrospective review to determine the utility of bronchoscopy in patients with recurrent croup (RC). Methods: Bronchoscopy was performed on 30 patients with a diagnosis of RC (age, 14 months to 13.9 years) over a 2-year period. Results: One third of the patients (33.3%) were found to have airway disorders, including subglottic stenosis (7), subglottic edema (2), and a subglottic cyst (1). Patients with RC who were less than 3 years of age were more likely to have an airway abnormality found on endoscopy (9 of 14 or 64.2%) than were those older than 3 years (1 of 16 or 6.2%; chi(2), p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in abnormal findings 1) in patients with RC who had a history of prematurity or prior intubations (chi(2), p = 0.17 and p = 0.052, respectively); 2) between infectious and spasmodic croup (chi(2), p = 0.794); or 3) by number of croup episodes (chi(2), p = 0.300). Two patients required Surgical intervention (laryngotracheal reconstruction and marsupialization of a subglottic cyst). Conclusions: Of 30 patients who underwent bronchoscopy for RC, 33% had airway disorders - mostly children less than 3 years old. We suggest a higher index of suspicion for finding airway disorders in children less than 3 years old with RC and having a lower threshold for performing diagnostic bronchoscopy in this population.

Methods: We per-formed a retrospective review of 24 consecutive patients with the diagnosis of a paranasal sinus fungus ball (mycetoma) from 2001 to 2008. Results: We found that 18 of the 24 primarily involved sinuses had bony thickening, and 13 of the 24 had notable dilatation of the ostium. Eleven of the 24 patients were found to have some degree of immunocompromise (from organ transplantation, diabetes, etc). The patient's immune status correlated with the type of fungus involved. (Mucor-like fungi were more common in immunocompetent patients, and aspergillus-like fungi were more common in immunocompromised patients.) Also, there was a predilection for immunocompetent patients to have dilatated ostia, whereas immunocompromised patients were more likely to have a nondilatated ostium (p = 0.0 19). Conclusions: Our series of paranasal sinus fungus balls defines a group of patients heretofore poorly described in the literature erature. Our data reveal an increased incidence in immunocompromised patients. We also found consistent radiographic patterns, correlations between immune status and the fungal pathogen, correlations between ostial enlargement and immune, status, and the presence of cranial nerve pareses. These represent new findings that merit further study.

In this study, it was hypothesized that the functional outcome after RLN injury may depend on the type of nerve injury. Methods: Fifteen patients with acute postoperative unilateral RLN paralysis were prospectively studied. Electrophysiological examination (laryngeal electromyography) was used to differentiate between the two types of nerve injury. Vocal fold motions were monitored by repeated laryngoscopy during the study period (up to 6 months). Three of the patients with axonal injury were treated with the regeneration-promoting agent nimodipine. Results: The patients with conduction block all recovered normal vocal fold motion, whereas patients with axonal injury within the nerve had a significantly worse Outcome. The 3 patients who were treated with nimodipine all recovered normal or near-normal vocal fold mobility despite the more severe axonal injury. Conclusions: In contrast to previous reports, our results show that laryngeal electromyography is a reliable tool for diagnosing nosing the type of injury within the injured RLN, making it possible to predict the functional outcome in these patients. On the basis of the results, a future randomized study on nimodipine treatment for RLN axonal injury is suggested.

Methods: Between 1976 and 2005, a total of 229 endoscopic Zenker's diverticulotomies in 189 patients were performed in our institution. Since 1995, micro-endoscopic diverticulotomy with the CO(2) laser and Acuspot (MEDCO(2)A) has been performed in 61 cases. Between 1984 and 1995, micro-endoscopic diverticulotomy with the CO(2) laser (MEDCO(2)) was performed in 113 cases. Before 1984, endoscopic diverticulotomy with electrocautery (EDE) was performed in 55 cases. All patients had radiologically proven Zenker's diverticula. We recorded preoperative and postoperative complaints of dysphagia, the frequency of recurrence in long-term follow-up, postoperative tube feeding, non-oral intake, days of admission, and complications. Results: After operation, dysphagia was absent in 84.6% of MEDCO(2)A cases, 78.4% of MEDCO(2) cases, and 72.0% of EDE cases. Repeat surgery was required in 13.0% of MEDCO(2)A cases, 19.6% of MEDCO(2) cases, and 24.3% of EDE cases. Five patients developed mediastinitis (2 MEDCO(2) cases and 3 EDE cases); none died as a consequence. In I patient, sqbamous cell carcinoma was found in the diverticulum. Conclusions: The technological improvement of the CO(2) laser with Acuspot has further increased the efficacy of its use over that of methods previously used in our institution. The results and complications rate are comparable to those reported for endoscopic stapler diverticulotomy in the literature.

Methods: We performed a comparative microanatomic study of adenoid mucosa using scanning electron microscopy in patients with diagnoses of RAOM and OSA (27 female and 41 male; age range, 3 months to 15 years). Results: The adenoids removed from patients with RAOM had dense, mature biofilms covering nearly their entire mucosal surfaces. More specifically, the adenoids removed from patients with RAOM had an average of 93.53% of their mucosal surface covered, versus an average of 1.01% coverage on the adenoids removed from patients with OSA. These differences were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The adenoids removed from patients with RAOM had almost their entire mucosal surface covered with biofilms, versus scant coverage for patients with OSA. Recurrent acute otitis media is notoriously resistant to antibiotic treatment, and aspirates of middle ear fluid repeatedly yield negative cultures. It is these properties that have led biofilms to become increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of RAOM. Thus, the resistance of biofilms to antimicrobials, together with their planktonic shedding of organisms, may be an important mechanism in the development of RAOM.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 224 older adults (at least 60 years of age) who underwent implantation of 248 implants with the simplified Nijmegen Surgical technique between January 1995 and May 2007. Results: During a mean follow-up of 39 months (range, 0 to 144 months), 16 of the 248 implants were lost (6.5%). The causes were failed osseointegration in 9 cases, trauma in 6 cases, and implant loss in irradiated bone in I case. There were no losses due to infection. Implant loss was not significantly cot-related with age. In 40 implants (16.9%), severe skin reactions of Holgers grade 2 or more were observed. Skin revision Surgery was performed around 6 implants (2.4%). None of the patients had an 8.5-mm abutment to overcome severe skill reactions. Conclusions: The outcome of BAHA surgery in older adults was favorable. The rate of implant loss was comparable with that in the overall population of BAHA recipients. There were low risks of severe skin reactions or developing thick skin around the implant. C1 [de Wolf, Maarten J. F.; Hol, Myrthe K. S.; Mylanus, Emmanuel A. M.; Cremers, Cor W. R.

Laryngeal involvement in Crohn's disease is very rare, and only 9 cases have been reported. All 9 patients complained of difficulty in breathing due to edema and ulceration from the larynx to the hypopharynx. The present patient was a 31-year-old woman who had experienced the intestinal symptoms of Crohn's disease starting 20 months earlier and complained of hoarseness, sore throat, and odynophagia. The hoarseness worsened gradually because of limited ulceration of the vocal fold without edema. We describe the first case in which limited ulceration occurred on the vocal fold without airway involvement.

To elucidate the functions of the PGE2 receptors (EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4) in allergic inflammation, we examined the in vivo effects of EP agonists on mucus hypersecretion and eosinophil infiltration in rat nasal epithelium. Methods: We induced hypertrophic and metaplastic changes in goblet cells in nasal epithelium of ovalbumin-sensitized rats by intranasal challenge with ovalbumin. The effects of subcutaneous injections of EP agonists on mucus production and eosinophil infiltration were examined. Results: The EP4 agonist (1 to 100 mu g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited ovalbumin-induced mucus production. The EP2 and EP3 agonists (100 mu g/kg) also significantly inhibited mucus production. The EP3 agonist inhibited antigen-induced eosinophil infiltration, whereas the EP1 agonist showed no effect. This suppression of mucus production by the EP4 agonist was only effective when the EP4 agonist was given in the effector phase; administration in the induction phase resulted in no effect. Conclusions: These results indicate that PGE2 acts as an anti-inflammatory mediator via the EP receptors of airways in allergic inflammation. Selective EP agonists may provide a new therapeutic strategy for airway mucus hypersecretion.

Guidelines for endoscopic laser management of early glottic and supraglottic cancer, including contraindications for this treatment modality, are presented. On the basis of all Currently available data, the panel, which critically considered the question of oncological safety, is of the opinion that endoscopic laser resections are oncologically safe when applied judiciously and by a skilled oncological surgeon. Relative contraindications for endoscopic laser resection of laryngeal cancer include instances in which the whole tumor cannot be visualized; large tumors that require removing too much of the functional laryngeal unit, severely decreasing airway protection and leading to aspiration; and cartilage invasion. Specific contraindications for supraglottic cancer include bilateral arytenoid involvement and direct extension into the neck.

Specifically, the vocal outcomes were compared between 15 patients whose thyroplasties were performed with silicone and 15 patients whose thyroplasties were performed with Gore-Tex. Methods: The examined clinical characteristics did not differ significantly between the groups. The vocal outcomes were evaluated by aerodynamic and acoustic measurements. Results: Aerodynamic examination indicated significant postoperative improvements in the maximum phonation time and mean flow rate in both groups. Shimmer was significantly improved only in the Gore-Tex group. A direct comparison between groups showed no significant difference in the degree of improvement of the vocal parameters, except for a significant improvement in the noise-to-harmonics ratio in the Gore-Tex group. The duration of surgery was significantly less in the Gore-Tex group than in the silicone group. Conclusions: Gore-Tex thyroplasty is considered to be comparable to silicone thyroplasty in terms of postoperative vocal outcomes. Gore-Tex thyroplasty enables a less invasive procedure with a shorter surgical duration and easier adjustment of medialization due to its flexibility.

Methods: A case series including 86 patients with a diagnosis of definite MD according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) diagnostic criteria was evaluated by the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Instrument and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory Short Form (DHI-S). Results: The scores on all scales of the SF-36 were significantly lower for bilateral MD than for unilateral cases, except for body pain. Both groups had scores worse than those of their sex- and age-matched normative population on all SF-36 scales (p = 0.017 to p = 0.0001), except for body pain in men. The DHI-S scores were also better for unilateral than for bilateral cases (p = 0.04), suggesting that the dizziness is perceived to be more disabling in bilateral MD. Migraine was significantly associated with bilateral MD (odds ratio, 3.58 [95% confidence interval, 1.25 to 10.31]; p = 0.021). Headache and score on the AAO-HNS functional scale, which evaluates the effect of vertigo attacks on daily activities, were two independent factors that explained a great part of the variability on all SF-36 scales, except for "role emotional" in bilateral MD. Conclusions: Patients with bilateral MD perceived their dizziness to be more disabling and had a worse HRQL than did patients with unilateral MD. Migraine was more frequently found in patients with bilateral involvement. Headache and score on the AAO-HNS functional scale were factors associated with the HRQL in bilateral MD.

Methods: The adjunctive measures included induction chemotherapy, ipsilateral neck dissection, and postoperative radiotherapy, used in 96.1%, 96.1 %, and 38.5% of patients, respectively. All patients but 2 were followed for at least 5 years or until death (maximum, 158 months). Results: The significant postoperative complications included pharyngocutaneous fistula in 3 patients (11.5%) and hemorrhage requiring reoperation, partial flap necrosis, and pneumonia from aspiration in 1 patient (3.8%) each. In univariate analysis, no significant statistical relationship was noted between the significant postoperative complications noted and the variables under analysis. Overall, successful oral alimentation was achieved in 100% of patients by the first postoperative month without gastrostomy, tracheotomy, or completion total laryngectomy. There were no intraoperative or perioperative deaths. The main causes of death were metachronous second primary tumor, intercurrent disease, and distant metastasis, resulting in 84.6%, 64%, and 46.9% 1-, 3-, and 5-year Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival estimates, respectively. Two patients (7.6%) had local recurrence, resulting in 100%, 86.7%, and 86.7% 1-, 3-, and 5-year Kaplan-Meier actuarial local control estimates, respectively. As a function of T stage, the 3- and 5-year actuarial local control estimates were 100%, 87.5%, and 90.9% in patients with tumors classified as T1, T2, and T3-T4a, respectively. Conclusions: Such results suggest that extended lateral pharyngotomy should be integrated among the various conservative treatment options available to patients with selected carcinomas of the lateral tongue base.

Methods: We compared four protocols of celloidin removal, including those using clove oil, acetone, ether-alcohol, and methanol saturated with sodium hydroxide. By optimally fixing our tissue (perfused mice), and keeping constant the fixative type (formalin plus acetic acid), fixation time (25 hours), and decalcification time (ethylene(ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for 7 days), we determined whether the technique of celloidin removal influenced the immunostaining results. Six antibodies were used with each removal method: prostaglandin D synthase, sodium, potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na(+),K(+)-ATPase), aquaporin I, connective tissue growth factor, tubulin, and 200 kd neurofilament. Results: Clove oil, acetone, and ether-alcohol resulted in incomplete removal of the celloidin, thereby negatively affecting the results of immunostaining. The methanol-sodium hydroxide method was effective in completely removing the celloidin; it produced the cleanest and most reproducible immunostaining for all six antibodies. Conclusions: Freshly prepared methanol saturated with sodium hydroxide and diluted 1:2 with methanol was the best solvent for removing celloidin from Muse temporal bone sections, resulting in consistent and reproducible immunostaining with the six antibodies tested.

Hyperfractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) may increase locoregional control of tumors of the head and neck, but the addition of concomitant CT involves an unacceptable level of toxicity. Adding induction CT may control distant metastasis. Here we compare the results of our protocol with induction CT followed by HFRT alone with the results obtained with concomitant treatments. Methods: Between October 1994 and May 2002, 46 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were treated with HFRT. The patients with N+ or T4 lesions also received cisplatin-based induction CT (55%). Results: The patients received a mean of 3 CT cycles (range, 2 to 5). At 5 years, the rate of progression-free survival was 66% (range, 51.3% to 82.1%), and the global survival rate was 75.7% (range, 61.9% to 89.5%). Conclusions: The use of HFRT in association with induction CT in patients with the greatest risk of metastasis may be as effective as concomitant CT-RT for treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. Efforts should now concentrate on minimizing the acute and chronic toxicities.

Methods: Eighty-six adult participants tracked their voice recovery using short vocal tasks and perceptual ratings after an initial vocal loading exercise and for the following 2 days. Results: Short-term recovery was apparent, with 90% recovery within 4 to 6 hours and full recovery at 12 to 18 hours. Recovery was shown to be similar to a dermal wound healing trajectory. Conclusions: The new recovery trajectory highlighted by the vocal loading exercise in the current Study is called a vocal recovery trajectory. By comparing vocal fatigue to dermal wound healing, this trajectory is parallel to a chronic wound healing trajectory (as opposed to an acute wound healing trajectory). This parallel suggests that vocal fatigue from the daily use of the voice could be treated as a chronic Wound, with the healing and repair mechanisms in a state of constant repair. In addition, there is likely a vocal fatigue threshold at which point the level of tissue damage would shift the chronic healing trajectory to an acute healing trajectory.

In tissues subject to variation of thickness plates whose interplate space is usually at between samples, fixed gaps could result in different compressions, compromising the comparison among them. We performed,in experimental study to determine whether different compressions call lead to different results in measurements of dynamic viscosity (DV) of vocal fold samples. Methods: We Measured the DV of vocal fold samples of 10 larynges of cadavers under 3 different compression levels, corresponding to 0.2, 0.5, and 10 N on an 8-mm-diameter parallel-plate rheometer. Results: The DV directly varied with compression. We observed statistically significant differences between the results of 0.2 and 10 N (p = 0.0396) and 0.5 and 10 N (p = 0.0442). Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the level of compression influences the DV measure and Suggests that a defined compression level should be used in rheometric studies of biological tissues.

For in-depth, immunology-based transplantation research, however, a thoroughly studied animal model must exist. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable surgical technique in mice to serve as a model for further Study of laryngeal transplantation. Methods: Heterotopic laryngeal transplantation was attempted in 15 immunocompetent mice by use of modifications of previously described techniques established in rats. Results: Various microvascular techniques were used that led to 8 Successful transplants (of 15) with patent vascularity at the time of sacrifice. The first 7 attempts at transplantation were unsuccessful because of technical difficulties related to vessel size, soft tissue traumatic injury, and venous congestion. Subsequently, 8 transplantation procedures were successfully performed after modifications of the Surgical technique. Conclusions: This Pilot Study describes the reproducible surgical techniques performed in using mice for studying laryngeal transplantation. Mice are cost-effective and immunologically well studied, and are thus ideal for further laryngeal transplantation research.

TI Initial Anatomic Geographic Presentation of Glottal Dysplasia SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dysplasia; hoarseness; keratosis; premalignant mucosa; vocal cord; vocal fold ID KERATOSIS; LARYNX; PAPILLOMATOSIS; HYPERPLASIA; CARCINOMA; LASER AB Glottal dysplasia is likely the most common laryngeal disease with a discernible lesion; however, investigations describing its initial anatomic geographic presentation are rare. To examine this, we identified 52 patients who did not have significant prior treatment or glottal cancer. Thirty-one patients had bilateral disease, so there were 83 vocal folds with precancerous dysplasia. The phonatory mucosa was the dominant disease site ill all; the epicenter was on the superior surface in 65 of the 83 folds and on the medial surface in 18 of the 83 folds. The arytenoid mucosa was involved in 8 of the 83 folds. Nineteen of the 52 patients had direct anterior-commissure involvement, and none had interarytenoid mucosal disease. The investigation established the commonly held principle that glottal dysplasia occurs primarily on phonatory mucosa. Given the frequent occurrence and recurrence of glottal dysplasia, treatment goals should focus on disease control to prevent malignant degeneration while preserving the subepithelial superficial lamina propria, necessary for phonatory mucosal pliability, vocal fold vibration, and optimal vocal function.

TI Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency Among Patients Attending a General Otolaryngology Clinic in South Auckland SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE 25-hydroxyvitamin D; otorhinolaryngology; South Auckland; vitamin D ID OLDER AB Objectives: We performed a prospective observational study to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients attending a general otolaryngology clinic in South Auckland, New Zealand. Methods: From July 21, 2008, to August 7, 2008, all new patients presenting to otolaryngology clinics at which one of the authors (D.R.) was present had their vitamin D status assessed by measurement of their plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level. Results: Of 48 patients, 2% had 25(OH)D levels of 17.5 nmol/L or less (a level associated with osteomalacia), 58% had 25(OH)D levels of 50 nmol/L or less (a level associated with vitamin D deficiency), and 100% had 25(OH)D levels of 80 nmol/L or less. Conclusions: Most of the patients attending a general otolaryngology clinic in South Auckland are vitamin D-deficient. It is unclear whether low vitamin D levels are associated more directly with otolaryngological disorders or skin type, bet, cause the small size of this study and the broad range of conditions seen precluded a meaningful statistical analysis. Further research into the relationship of vitamin D to specific otolaryngological presentations is required.

Methods: We performed a retrospective survey from a medical record analysis of 26 patients with different origins of benign, grade II (Myer-Cotton) subglottic or tracheal stenosis. All patients underwent dilatation tracheoscopy for a total of 64 times (average, 2.46 operations per patient). Five patients had to undergo subsequent operations. Patient data (sex, age at intervention, underlying and other systemic diseases) and operation data (course, intraoperative and postoperative adverse events) were recorded. Analysis of the measured preoperative and postoperative peak flow values was performed. Results: The average predilatation and postdilatation peak flow values were 225 L/min and 331 L/min, respectively. Eighty percent of the patients (21 of 26) were successfully treated with 1 or more dilatation tracheoscopy interventions without supplementary treatment for the stenosis. There is only 1 tracheal cannula-dependent patient in the examined Population, making the overall success rate of our treatment 96%. No major intraoperative or postoperative complications were recorded. Conclusions: Dilatation tracheoscopy is a simple, relatively safe, and effective method in the treatment of benign subglottic or tracheal stenosis of various origins. The intervention is minimally invasive and is easily repeatable in case of restenosis. C1 [Halmos, Gyorgy B.; van der Laan, Bernard F. A.

Methods: Testing was done in bilateral and both unilateral listening conditions. The assessments took place before the second implantation and at several time intervals after fitting. As different auditory tests were used, the children were categorized by their age at the second implantation: younger or older than 6 years. Results: The pure tone averages for the bilateral condition were significantly better than those for either unilateral condition after 12 months of bilateral implant use and remained so from that test interval onward. The speech recognition outcomes in quiet and noise also improved significantly for almost all children after 36 months, although a linear regression analysis showed a beneficial effect of younger age at first implantation on the speech-in-noise results. Conclusions: Bilateral cochlear implantation offered advantages to all children in comparison with the first implant even the children who received the second implant after the age of 6 years. Compared to the younger children, the older children needed a longer adjustment period to gain bilateral benefit. However, they obtained similar results after 2 years of bilateral implant use.

Methods: Forty-one consecutive patients affected by acquired atresia of the EAC were assessed by OtOSCOPY, pure tone audiometry, computed tomography, and traditional and echo-planar diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The anatomic and functional hearing results were evaluated. Results: At surgery for acquired atresia of the EAC, an EAC cholesteatoma was found in 3 of the 41 patients. Twenty-three of the 41 patients were followed for at least 5 years. Recurrence was seen in 9 of the 25 ears (36%) over the entire period of observation. Twenty-one, 23, and 22 of the patients had a normal or nearly normal contour and size of the ear canal at 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively. The results were similar for the air-bone gap. Conclusions: The main complication following Surgery was recurrence. There was recurrence at 6 months in 4 patients (16%). Recurrence was seen in 12% of the cases at the 5-year follow-up. similar findings were clear on evaluation of the hearing results. This result demonstrates that the surgical procedure, even when performed correctly, did not afford a stable, long-lasting outcome in a cohort of patients.

Methods: A questionnaire on listening habits and enjoyment of music before the onset of deafness and after implantation was sent to 85 adult CI recipients who had been using the devices for at least 6 months. Results: Of the 53 responders, 39 (73.6%) listened to music after implantation. Listening to music was not significantly related to age at implantation, gender, duration of deafness, duration of Cl use, type of Cl device, speech coding strategy, or open-set speech perception abilities. The 14 nonlisteners were postlingually deafened. The ratings of enjoyment were the same for 22.6% of patients, improved for 26.4%, and worse for 50.9%. Only 2 of 13 patients who played a musical instrument and 14 of 24 patients who sang before the onset of deafness resumed their musical activities. Conclusions: Despite the decline in listening habits and in the enjoyment of music after cochlear implantation, most patients do listen to music. The changes in listening habits and enjoyment were not related to the selected background variables.

Methods: We undertook a retrospective case-control study in which patients were enrolled into a database if audiometry demonstrated asymmetry of 20 dB at one frequency, asymmetry of 10 dB at two frequencies, or a difference of 20% on word recognition scores. If AICA vascular contact was demonstrated on subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of the cerebellopontine angle, patients were included in the study. Patients with vestibular schwannoma or Meniere's disease were excluded. The AICA contact was graded by a blinded neuroradiologist according to criteria proposed by McDermott et al. The cross-sectional area of the cochlear nerve was measured. Results: Symptomatic ears could be correlated to a decreased cochlear nerve diameter, but not to the degree of AICA penetration into the internal auditory canal. Conclusions: AICA vascular compression of the cochleovestibular nerve does not appear to correlate to hearing loss or to cochlear nerve diameter. The finding of decreased cochlear nerve diameter in symptomatic ears implies an alternative mechanism for asymmetric hearing loss. C1 [Clift, Julie M.; Wong, Robert D.; Stavinoha, Rose C.; Boyev, K.

Methods: The study included 20 patients with LPR and sore throat and 5 control subjects. The patients were subjected to upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy and flexible pharyngolaryngoscopy. Oropharyngeal biopsy specimens were taken from the patients and controls for ultrastructural Study by transmission electron microscopy. Results: The entire group of patients with LPR showed dilatation of intercellular spaces essentially at the squamous basal and suprabasal levels in their oropharyngeal biopsy specimens, whereas none of the control subjects showed such a morphological marker. Conclusions: Dilatation of intercellular spaces as a morphological marker can be traced in patients with LPR and sore throat at the level of the oropharynx. This contributes to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of LPR. If this finding is confirmed in a large series, it will represent a cost-effective, relatively noninvasive method for diagnosis of LPR.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients at our institution who had squamous cell carcinoma of the palatine tonsils, base of ton-Lie, soft palate, or pharynx from 1995 through 2006. The patients underwent primary surgical therapy. The main outcome measures were the HPV status of tumors and nodes and the survival rates (categorized by HPV status). Results: Of 102 treated patients, 48 (47.1%) had HPV-positive carcinomas. Primary tumor size was not significantly different between HPV-positive and HPV-negative tumors (median, 2.5 versus 2.0 cm; p = 0.43). Patients with HPV had a higher prevalence of neck nodal metastases (35% versus 11%; p = 0.003) and high-grade lesions (83% versus 64%; p 0.03). Conclusions: Primary tumor burden was not associated with HPV status. Patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas had a higher prevalence of neck nodal metastases and high-grade lesions.

Methods: Twenty-three patients with OVPTC over a 10-year period were studied. Demographic, clinical, and histopathologic features and Outcome data were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Seventeen women and 6 men, ages ranging from 20 to 76 years (95% confidence interval, 43.0 to 54.48), were studied. Cervical lymph node involvement was found in 43.4% of the patients. Most of the recurrences were associated with thyroid masses greater than 2 cm in diameter. Evaluation of the overall survival data by the Kaplan-Meier method revealed that most recurrences took place earlier than 30 months, and the majority of patients (74%) were well, with no evidence of disease, up to 78 months after the last treatment. All of the OVPTC cases presented as nonencapsulated tumors, and 78.2% demonstrated extrathyroid stromal invasion. Conclusions: OVPTC is a unique variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma that has distinctive clinicopathologic features. Since OVPTC is often associated with local invasion and may involve cervical lymph nodes, it may require more extensive surgery than classic papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Methods: Audiometric data were collected from the family members of a Dutch kindred with the novel ACTG1 mutation. Cross-sectional and/or longitudinal analyses were performed on pure tone and speech audiometry data of the mutation carriers. Age-related typical audiograms were constructed. Vestibular examination was performed in all mutation carriers. Results: Overall, high-frequency hearing impairment, most prominent at ages over 30 years, was observed with a progression rate of 1.1 to 2.1 dB/y, increasing with frequency. It ultimately resulted in residual hearing. Speech recognition scores remained good at given pure tone average (1, 2, and 4 kHz) levels. but were slightly poorer than those at similar levels in a group of patients with presbycusis. Vestibular examination did not reveal any consistent, statistically significant abnormalities. Conclusions: The audiometric phenotype of the Dutch DFNA20/26 family with a novel mutation in ACTG1 was largely consistent with previous reports oil DFNA20/26. Considerable variations were found in audio.-rain configurations within the family. This is the first known DFNA20/26 family that has experienced tinnitus.

This bone resorption is known to be more aggressive when cholesteatomas become infected. The most common organism isolated front both diseases is the gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major virulence factor found in the gram-negative bacterial cell wall, is well known to incite inflammatory bone resorption. The mechanisms underlying this process, however, are poorly understood. In this study, we developed a Mouse model of calvarial osteolysis in which resorption was reliably imaged by plain radiography and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Methods: A inurine calvarial model was developed to study bone resorption induced by P aeruginosa LPS. Calvariae from wild-type and knockout mice used in this model were imaged by plain radiography and micro-CT. Results: A high degree of correlation between plain radiography and micro-CT was identified (R(2) = 0.8554). Furthermore, maximal LPS-induced bone resorption required functioning toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88). Conclusions: We have developed a successful model of inflammatory osteolysis in which plain radiography call reliably delineate induced bone resorption. In vivo, we have shown that P aeruginosa LPS signals via TLR2, as well as TLR4 through MyD88.

TI Use of Neuromuscular Electrostimulation in the Treatment of Dysphagia in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE deglutition disorder; electrical stimulation; multiple sclerosis ID ELECTRICAL-STIMULATION; MOTOR CORTEX; PENETRATION; ASPIRATION; SCALE AB Objectives: We explored the possible effects of neuromuscular electrostimulation on the swallowing function of patients with multiple sclerosis and swallowing problems. Methods: Twenty-five patients (average age, 53.1 years; SD, 9.8 years) with multiple sclerosis and swallowing problems were treated for 3 weeks with 2 sessions per week of neuromuscular electrostimulation. The average time since the onset of multiple sclerosis was 16.5 years (SD, 10.2 years). Seventeen patients were examined with transnasal flexible endoscopy 1 week before treatment and 1 week after treatment. Results: After treatment, a significant decrease in pooling of saliva in the pyriform sinuses was seen in 6 patients (p 0.03), and significantly less aspiration during swallowing of thin liquids (p < 0.01) was seen in 9 patients. Overall, the 25 patients reported that their swallowing had improved (p < 0.01), and in 20% of the patients, it had become less strenuous. No adverse effects of the treatment were reported. Conclusions: Our study showed that the treatment of swallowing problems with neuromuscular electrostimulation in patients with multiple sclerosis in this sample was successful in the reduction of pooling of saliva and in the reduction of aspiration.

TI Postviral Vagal Neuropathy SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dysphonia; hoarseness; larynx; neuropathy; postviral vagal neuropathy; reflux; throat clearing; vagal neuropathy ID CHRONIC COUGH; ZOSTER; PARALYSIS AB Objectives: Postviral vagal neuropathy (PVVN) is a clinical diagnosis characterized by laryngeal complaints initiated by an upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Little is known about the natural history of this disease, and only small case series have been reported. We describe the clinical presentation, symptoms, patient demographics, and natural history of PVVN. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of all patients with a diagnosis of PVVN from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2006, was prospectively administered, detailing disease onset, type and duration of symptoms, demographics, and previous treatment. The Reflux Symptom Index, Voice Handicap Index, and laryngoscopic findings were collected for each patient. Results: Forty-four patients with PVVN were identified. The mean age (+/- SD) was 48 +/- 13 years, and 73% of the patients were female. The most common initial URI symptoms were cough (89%), nasal congestion (75%), and rhinorrhea (64%). Fifty-nine percent of the patients took antibiotics, and the mean time between symptom onset and presentation to the laryngologist was 83 127 weeks. The most common persistent symptoms were cough (52%), throat clearing (48%), dysphonia (41.5%), and vocal fatigue (43%). Fifty-seven percent of the patients consulted 3 or more physicians for their symptoms. The mean Voice Handicap Index was 13.4 +/- 10.3, and the mean Reflux Symptom Index was 17.7 +/- 11. Forty-nine percent of the patients had evidence of vocal fold paresis on strobovideolaryngoscopy. Conclusions: PVVN is a clinical entity characterized by a complex of laryngeal symptoms that begin after a URI. The symptoms include chronic Cough, excessive throat clearing, dysphonia, and vocal fatigue. Affected individuals are typically in their fifth decade of life and appear more likely to be women. Most patients have seen Multiple physicians, and the time to laryngologist referral is often delayed.

Methods: We reviewed 100 age- and sex-matched neck computed tomography scans that were performed at Seoul National University Hospital from 2001 to 2005. Under a standardized computed tomography window setting, the height of the cricoid cartilage marrow and the thickness of the marrow space and the ossified inner and outer cortices were measured by one observer. Results: The mean height of the cricoid cartilage marrow was 13.6 mm (range, 5.5 to 20.5 mm) in women and 17.5 mm (range, 13.0 to 24.5 mm) in men. The mean thickness of the cricoid cartilage marrow was 3.17 mm (range, 1.22 to 4.75 mm) in women and 5.13 mm (range, 3.42 to 7.60 mm) in men. We also observed that women in general have a higher density of the cricoid marrow than men; 4 women and 1 man had a markedly denser marrow space. There were individual variations in size and density of the cricoid marrow. Conclusions: Human adult cricoid cartilages have Sufficient marrow space for cricoid implantation. Preoperative evaluation of the size and density of the cricoid marrow is recommended for individual application of the cricoid implant.

Methods: We performed a 5-year retrospective review of a prospective database from 2 tertiary care pediatric institutions. The studied patients were 50 consecutive infants with severe LM who underwent supraglottoplasty (median age, 4.5 months) and functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) with or without laryngopharyngeal stimulation testing. The intervention was cold-knife microlaryngeal supraglottoplasty and reflux management. The main outcome measure was aspiration resolution. Results: Preoperative FEES identified laryngeal penetration in 44 infants (88%) with severe LM. Laryngeal penetration with aspiration beyond the vocal folds was noted in 36 infants (72%). Postoperative FEES (median follow-up, 3.8 months) indicated resolution of laryngeal penetration and aspiration in 36 (81.8%) and 3 1 (86.1%) of these patients, respectively. The 14 patients without preoperative aspiration showed no evidence of aspiration after supraglottoplasty. In patients with aspiration, the mean preoperative laryngopharyngeal stimulation test threshold was 8.45 mm Hg. This improved on average by 4.0 mm Hg after supraglottoplasty (paired t-test, p < 0.0001). Multiple medical comorbidities were present in the 5 patients who had persistent aspiration after supraglottoplasty, including congenital heart disease (all 5 patients), congenital syndromes (4 patients), neurologic disorders (2 patients), and a need for tracheostomy (2 patients). Conclusions: Laryngeal penetration and aspiration improve after cold-knife supraglottoplasty. Supraglottoplasty does not cause aspiration in patients who do not have preoperative aspiration. Supraglottoplasty may not improve aspiration in patients with multiple medical comorbidities.

Methods: We studied all PWS patients who underwent adenotonsillectorny to treat OSA from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2005. The main outcome measures were 1) preoperative and postoperative full overnight polysomnography and 2) postoperative complications. Results: Three PWS patients were identified, including female twins and 1 boy. All patients had preoperative evidence of OSA without central apnea. Resolution of OSA after adenotonsillectorny was variable. The patient with the highest body mass index and tonsil size had the least residual OSA after adenotonsillectomy. No perioperative complications or adverse events were observed. Conclusions: Adenotonsillectomy did not consistently improve OSA in this population of patients with PWS. No perioperative complications were noted. Postoperative polysomnography should be considered for evaluation of possible residual OSA, as additional interventions may be warranted.

Marsupialization is a more conservative technique and can prevent these complications. Methods: In this prospective clinical series, 25 patients underwent the marsupialization procedure. Under a direct larynomicroscope, the cystic wall margin was retracted medially with microforceps. An incision was made with microscissors encircling the equator of the cyst. The cyst contents drained from the cystic cavity when the capsule was sectioned. For 7 patients with concomitant marked vocal fold atrophy, strap muscle transposition laryngoplasty was simultaneously performed. Results: All patients had complete preoperative and postoperative voice parameter analyses. A subjective improvement in voice quality was reported by 23 of the 25 patients (92%). A small recurrent vocal fold cyst was detected in I patient. Small vocal fold deficits and sulcus vocalis were detected in 2 and 4 patients, respectively. Only I patient described a worse voice after operation. No other complications were noted. Conclusions: Marsupialization of vocal fold retention cysts is a simple, relatively safe, and effective surgical treatment. Voice improvement, a low incidence of recurrence, and minimal vocal fold deficits demonstrate the validity of this technique. Marked preoperative vocal fold atrophy or postoperative glottal gap can be managed with medialization laryngoplasty. C1 Chang Gung Mem Hosp, Dept Otolaryngol, Kaohsiung Med Ctr, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

TI Superficial Parotidectomy Via Facelift Incision SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE facelift; incision; parotidectomy ID RHYTIDECTOMY; SURGERY AB The stigma of a Visually prominent facial scar following parotid surgery can be distressing to a young patient. The surgical technique of parotidectomy via a facelift incision is described and evaluated. Thirty patients with a benign lesion of the parotid gland underwent a partial superficial parotidectomy via a modified facelift incision. After operation, all patients had excellent cosmesis and complete function of the facial nerve. The facelift incision provides adequate exposure of the parotid gland for (partial) superficial parotidectomy. It can be offered as an alternative to a select group of patients who present with a small, mobile tumor in the tail of the parotid gland and an explicit request for an invisible postoperative scar.

Methods: Sixty ears of 30 normal volunteers were prospectively investigated. The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials were recorded under 3 different conditions: in the feedback-negative (FB-) condition, ie, in a sitting position without feedback; in the feedback-positive (FB+) condition, ie, in a sitting position with self-monitored BP feedback (using a BP cuff); and in a supine condition, ie, in a supine position without feedback. The interaural amplitude difference (IAD) ratios and interaural latency differences were analyzed. Results: The mean IAD ratio was smaller in the FB+ condition than in the FB- and supine conditions, but the difference was without statistical significance. The upper limits of the normal range of the IAD ratios were 39.5%, 18.3%, and 25.9% for the FB-, FB+, and supine conditions, respectively. The interaural latency difference of p 13 was significantly smaller in the supine condition than in the FB- and FB+ conditions. Conclusions: Although the reduction of the mean IAD ratio did not reach statistical significance by feedback monitoring in our study, feedback using a BP manometer may have some clinical significance, in that a more stable IAD ratio may be obtained with a narrower normal range and a smaller variation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results obtained in transmeatal underlay myringoplasty using bovine and equine pericardium. The results were compared with those obtained by using autologous temporalis fascia. Methods: The study group consisted of 52 patients with tympanic perforation. Twenty-nine patients were randomly selected for treatment with bovine pericardium and 23 for equine pericardium. A group Of 14 patients was treated with autologous temporalis fascia. Results: Closure of the perforation was achieved in 19 of 29 patients (66%) treated with bovine pericardium, in 19 of 23 (83%) treated with equine pericardium, and in 13 of 14 (93%) treated with autologous fascia. The best functional results in patients who gained closure of the perforation were obtained by means of equine pericardium. Conclusions: The overall long-term tympanic Closure rate demonstrates that equine pericardium has a greater take rate than bovine pericardium. The results obtained are inferior to those obtained with autologous fascia, but this technique is less aggressive. The higher success rate with equine pericardium may be due to the fact that it is thinner and easier to handle and model than bovine pericardium.

Methods: Sixty female 6-month-old chinchillas, free of ME disease, were utilized. Experimental animals were inoculated with influenza A followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae 7 days later. Control animals were inoculated with Sorensen's phosphate buffer. Daily otoscopy and tympanometry was performed, and the animals were painlessly sacrificed on days 1, 2, 5, 8, and 14. All mucosae were harvested and prepared for scanning electron microscopy. Results: The ME inflammation, initially detected on day 2 after bacterial inoculation, peaked on day 8. Eight percent of the dually inoculated chinchillas displayed type B tympanograms, and 40% displayed type C. Otoscopic evaluation of tympanic membrane inflammation was rated from 0 to 4 (0 = normal and 4 = severe drainage and/or inflammation) according to an otoscopic grading system. Ten percent of the experimental chinchillas had a grade 2 score, 20% had grade 3, and 6.7% had grade 4. The controls demonstrated no abnormal tympanometric or otoscopic findings. Scanning electron microscopic imaging showed dense biofilms on 83% of the nasopharynges and 67% of the MEs on day 8 in the experimental animals. All animals with ME biofilms had biofilms in the nasopharynx. The controls did not demonstrate biofilm formation. Conclusions: The study parallels the natural pathogenesis of AOM in humans. The demonstration of mucosal biofilms in both the nasopharynx (58%) and the ME (47%) of animals with ME inflammation and/or infection lends further support to the importance of mucosal biofilms in the pathogenesis of AOM.

Methods: Lamina propria samples were solubilized with proteinase K or with cyanogen bromide. Cell density was assessed in proteinase K digests by measuring DNA and normalizing it to tissue total protein. Collagen types I and III were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based detection of collagen type-specific peptides generated by cyanogen bromide digestion. In addition, LP total collagen was determined by measuring sample hydroxyproline levels. Variations in collagen fiber thickness and orientation with LP region were evaluated by examining picrosirius red-stained LP sections with circularly polarized light. Results: The mean (+/- SEM) cell density in the LP and associated epithelium was approximately 0.57 +/- 0.09 million cells per milligram of tissue total protein. Collagen type III composed an average of 34% to 40% of LP total collagen. Quantitative histology indicated that the superficial LP contained an average of 70% thin, 26% intermediate, and 4% thick collagen fibers. This is in contrast to the intermediate and deep LPs, each of which contained less than 25% thin and more than 50% thick collagen fibers. The angular deviations in collagen fiber orientation were relatively large and were similar in magnitude across all LP layers. Conclusions: The total cell density of the LP and associated epithelium was intermediate between that of hyaline cartilage and dermis. The ratio of collagen type III to total collagen in the LP was similar to that of highly elastic lung parenchyma and roughly twice that of the comparatively less-elastic dermis. The average thickness of collagen fibers increased markedly with increasing LP depth, and the relatively large angular deviations in fiber orientation appeared to correspond in part to the crimped nature of LP collagen fibers.

Methods: The AP and SP were recorded transtympanically in 67 patients with definite Meniere's disease. The SP/AP ratio and the AP con-rar difference were assessed in terms of 1) their interrelationship, 2) their relationship to hearing level, and 3) the rate of occurrence of abnormal values according to the stages of Meniere's disease. Results: No correlation was found between the SP/AP ratio and the AP con-rar difference. Neither the SP/AP ratio in general nor the AP con-rar difference was correlated with the hearing level. However, enhanced values of the SP/AP ratio (0.35 or higher) were moderately correlated with the hearing level (r = 0.51), and their occurrence rate was 55.2%. All increased AP con-rar difference (0.13 ms or longer) was not correlated with the hearing level, and its occurrence rate was 50.2%; it appeared most frequently at stage 3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: An enhanced SP/AP ratio might not always indicate the presence of endolymphatic hydrops associated with all increase in endolymphatic pressure. An increased AP con-rar difference might reflect the presence of a biased basilar membrane resulting from an increased endolymphatic pressure, and hence it is diagnostically essential to simultaneously evaluate the SP/AP ratio and the AP con-rar difference.

Methods: A 4-generation pedigree was constructed of the Dutch family with the novel L223P POU4F3 mutation. Pure tone audiometric data were collected and analyzed cross-sectionally in mutation carriers. Age-related typical audiograms were derived. Vestibular examination was performed in most of the mutation carriers. The results were compared to those obtained from previously identified 884del8 and L289F POU4F3 mutation carriers. Results: A novel Mutation (L223P) in POU4F3 segregated with hearing impairment in the present family. Audiometric analysis generally showed an early-adult to midlife onset of hearing impairment. High-frequency hearing impairment was observed most frequently. Age-related typical audiograms showed a down-sloping configuration at ages of more than 30 years, with the fastest rate of progression at the high frequencies. Vestibular function tests revealed hypofunction of the vestibular labyrinth in 2 mutation carriers (not statistically significant). Conclusions: The clinical features in the present family with a POU4F3 mutation were fairly similar to those in the 2 previously described DFNA15 families, but the level of hearing impairment was milder, and there was no substantial vestibular dysfunction.

The initial experience in adults has been promising. The technique allows for restoring ventilation to the sinuses with minimal risk and trauma to the tissues. I present our initial experience of its use for treatment of CRS in children. Methods: I performed a prospective study of 30 children in whom medical therapy failed and who were scheduled for surgery. They were offered treatment with balloon sinuplasty of selected sinuses. The data collected included age, computed tomography score, and comorbid conditions. The primary outcome was the intraoperative success of dilation of the sinuses and the rate of adverse events clue to the procedure. Results: The procedure was Successful in 51 of 56 sinuses (91%) in 30 children. Five sinuses, of which 4 were hypoplastic maxillary sinuses and I wits a frontal sinus, were not amenable to dilation. No complications or side effects were noted. Conclusions: The initial experience with balloon sinuplasty in children seems to be very encouraging. Because there is no bone or tissue removal, the procedure seems to be Suitable for use in children. A hypoplastic Sinus may not be amenable to balloon sinuplasty.

Methods: The Dx-pH probe is a novel pH device capable of measuring liquid and aerosolized acid levels. Twenty asymptomatic patients (Reflux Symptom Index less than 10 and Reflux Finding Score less than 6) underwent simultaneous investigation with this probe placed in the oropharynx and a dual antimony probe placed in the hypopharynx and esophagus. The reflux parameters measured from the oropharyngeal probe included the percentage of time and the number of events in which the pH was less than 5.5, 5.0,4.5, and 4.0. Results: The upper limits of normal (95th percentile) for the number of events below pH of 5.5, 5.0,4.5, and 4.0 per 24-hour period were 16.6, 10.7, 7.4, and 0.2, respectively. The upper limits of normal (95th percentile) for an acid exposure time below pH of 5.5, 5.0. 4.5, and 4.0 per 24-hour period were 820 seconds, 385 seconds, 75 seconds, and 3 seconds, respectively. Conclusions: Normative pharyngeal pH values are presented. Further studies are required to determine clinical relevance.

This study evaluates the efficacy of a reduced RADPLAT protocol in patients who are candidates for total laryngectomy. Methods: Forty-three patients with advanced laryngeal cancer were treated with 2 courses of intra-arterial cisplatin infusion (100 mg per body) during 40-Gy irradiation. The patients who showed a greatly diminished tumor received sequenc, tial irradiation. The patients with obvious residual disease received chemotherapy during the sequential irradiation. Poor responders, with less than 50% turnor reduction, underwent total laryngectomy. Results: Forty-two patients completed the protocol. All surviving patients were followed for at least 3 years. Thirty-four patients were alive (80% of the supraglottic cases and 87.5% of the glottic cases). Local control was achieved in 27 patients (67.5% of the I I glottic cases and 64.0% of the supraglottic cases). The glottic cohort showed better progression-free survival rates than did the supraglottic cohort (68.8% and 45.0%, respectively; p = 0.019). There were 2 cases of grade 3 neutropenia and 3 cases of grade 3 mucositis. No patients required tube feeding. One patient required tracheostomy 3 months after the completion of the treatment protocol. Conclusions: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with I reduced dose of intra-arterial cisplatin is feasible for patients with advanced glottic cancer.

Methods: Forty-one male patients who complained of snoring and/or daytime somnolence participated. The diagnostic protocol included history-taking, physical examination, polysomnography, and transcervical US examination of the tongue. The US results were compared with all of the other parameters. Results: The US imaging was reliable for demonstrating anatomic structures of the tongue base, discriminating between Muscle, mucosa, and blood vessels. The lingual arteries were clearly Visualized entering the tongue base at its lower lateral borders, There was a significant relationship between the severity of sleep-related breathing disorders (measured by polysomnograpily) and the width of the lower tongue base (measured as the distance between the lingual arteries). The distance between the lingual arteries also correlated with physical examination findings and patient complaints of daytime somnolence and the sensation of choking during the night. Conclusions: Tongue base width, measured by US, may influence the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. This is the first demonstration of the possible role of US examination, ail inexpensive, noninvasive, and non-irradiating office procedure, in the diagnostic workup for sleep-related breathing disorders.

Methods: A consecutive series of adult patients who met clinical and radiographic criteria for CRS was assessed with the Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory, nasal endoscopy, and computed tomography. Three clinical groups were examined: 1) CRS Without NP,21) CRS with primary NP (no prior Surgery), and 3) CRS with recurrent NP (prior Surgery). The groups were compared with respect to symptom presentation, medical resource utilization, and medication costs. Results: Two hundred eighty-six CRS cases without NP, 13 1 CRS cases with primary NP, and 45 CRS cases with recurrent NP were Studied; their mean Lund scores were 8.8, 13.2, and 16.3, respectively (p < 0.00 1). Statistically significant differences in severity for nasal (p = 0.002), facial (1) = 0.025), oropharyngeal (p = 0.0 17), and systemic symptoms (p = 0.042) between groups were noted, whereas total symptoms did not differ between groups (1) = 0.339). Medication use and physician visits were similar between groups (p = 0.335 and p = 0.95 1, respectively). The aggregate yearly medication costs were significantly greater for the recurrent polyp group ($866) than for either the non-polyp group ($570 p 0.0 13) or the primary polyp group ($565, p = 0.020). Conclusions: Patients with non-polyp CRS and those with primary polyp CRS present with different symptom phenotypes, but exhibit similar total symptom burdens and medical resource consumption. The presence of polyps does not necessarily confer a dramatic additional disease burden in CRS. C1 [Bhattacharyya, Neil] Brigham & Womens Hosp, Div Otolaryngol, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

Because penetration and aspiration events were identified in healthy adults, the question arose, could the presence of the manometric catheter confound normal FEES findings? Thus, a follow-up study was designed to address the effects of catheter condition on healthy older adults as assessed during FEES. Methods: Twenty older adults (mean, 78.9 years of age) participated. The participants each contributed 28 swallows, affording a study total of 560 swallows for analyses. Results: The older adults demonstrated penetration on 82 (15%) and aspiration on 18 (3%) of 545 swallows. The numbers of participants who had penetration and aspiration during the study protocol were 75% and 30%, respectively. The older adults demonstrated both penetration and aspiration events irrespective of the presence of a catheter; whether they were drinking milk, water, or barium: whether the bolus was 5 or 10 mL; and whether they took the bolus via syringe or self-administered the bolus With a Cup. However, significantly more aspiration was found on thin liquids than on puree or solids. Conclusions: Endoscopic data on normal swallowing physiology were generated. These may serve its an accurate benchmark for clinicians and researchers in the interpretation of dysphagia.

Methods: Twenty-six patients were selected for removal of cholesteatoma of the anterior epitympanum by postauricular approach atticotomy, a closed transcanal procedure that is used to expose and remove cholesteatoma. After removal of cholesteatoma, reconstruction Of the scutum is performed with cymbal cartilage. Results: Postauricular approach atticotomy can be performed as part of a canal Wall Lip procedure in selected cases in which cholesteatoma invades the anterior epitympanum. Especially if the ossicular chain is intact and if there is an anteriorly curved medial outer canal wall, this technique is useful in avoiding an open technique. A second-look procedure is recommended because of a relatively high percentage of recurrent and residual disease. Conclusions: Postauricular approach atticotomy with reconstruction of the Scutum is a Useful technique to remove cholesteatoma from the anterior epitympanum. C1 [Pennings, Ronald J.

Prothrombotic gene mutations have been related to vascular disorders and sudden hearing loss. We assessed the prothrombotic risk in 10 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss who had previously experienced cardiovascular events to support its vascular pathogenesis. Methods: Ten patients underwent hematologic tests (MTHER C677T/A1298C, prothrombin G20210A, platelet were compared with those of 100 previously investigated patients With Sudden hearing loss alone and those of 200 healthy controls. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes, and the gene mutations were investigated by polymerase chain reaction and a LightCycler DNA analyzer. Results: Two patient had 2 mutant alleles, 6 had 3, and 2 had 4. The mean homocysteine, cholesterol, and fibrinogen levels were above the Upper limit of normal; the mean folate levels were slightly above the lower limit of normal. Multiple mutations were more frequent in the patient group than in the previously analyzed patients and healthy controls. Conclusions: The association between inherited and acquired prothrombotic factors ill Patients With sudden sensorineural hearing loss and thrombotic diseases in other sitcs that a multifactorial mechanism may underlic microvascular cochlear impairment. Hematologic investigation, including MTHFR, prothrornbin, platelet,and V Leiden genotyping, may help to detect patients at potential risk of recurrent hearing loss and Multiple microvascular diseases. and could be usefully performed in otherwise idiopathic Sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

In this Study, we identify the characteristics of patients with ISSA to achieve timelier intervention for this easily neglected disease. Methods: In a retrospective study of patients with ISSA in our institution (1995 to 2006), 12 were identified. Results: Sixty-seven percent of our patients were more than 50 years of age, and a female preponderance was noted. Headache and postnasal drip were the two most common symptoms, and the samples from 78% of our patients with postnasal drip were blood-tinged. Computed tomographic scanning provided a sensitivity of 64%, whereas endoscopic examination failed to identify abnomalities in any patients. Conclusions: Four characteristics were identified in the diagnosis of ISSA: female; usually above 50 years of age, with Postnasal drip (especially blood-tinged); and headache (particularly periorbital or C1 [Lee, Ta-Jen; Huang, Shiang-Fu; Chang, Po-Hung] Chang Gung Univ, Chang Gung Mem Hosp, Dept Otolaryngol, Tao Yuan 333, Taiwan.

Methods: Normal human vocal fold fibroblasts were subjected to sequential lentiviral transduction with genes for human telomerase (hTERT) and SV40 large T antigen in order to produce an "immortalized" cell line of normal phenotype. After confirmation of vocal fold fibroblast transfection, these cells, referred to as HVOX, were treated with various concentrations of exogenous TGF-beta 1 and assayed for collagen secretion, migration, and proliferation. In addition, components of the TGF-beta signaling pathway were examined in this cell line. Results: TGF-beta stimulated collagen secretion and migration without altering proliferation of HVOX. HVOX constitutive ly expressed type I and II TGF-beta receptors, as well as messenger RNA for the Smad signaling proteins and for all TGF-beta isoforms. Exogenous TGF-beta 1 induced temporally dependent alterations in Smad2 and Smad3 gene expression. TGF-beta increased Smad7 expression at both 4 and 24 hours. Prolonged exposure to TGF-P decreased TGF-beta 1 gene expression. Conclusions: Insight into the underlying pathophysiology of vocal fold fibrosis is likely to yield improved therapeutic strategies to mitigate vocal fold scarring. Our data suggest that TGF-beta signaling may be both paracrine and autocrine in this vocal fold fibroblast cell line, and we therefore propose that TGF-beta may be a reasonable target for therapies to prevent and/or treat vocal fold fibrosis, given its putative role in both acute and chronic vocal fold injury, as well as its effects on vocal fold fibroblasts.

Methods: We randomly administered intraoperative peritonsillar infiltration with 0.2 mL/kg ropivacaine 0.75% (group R) or 0.2 mL/kg saline 0.9% (group F) to sixty 3- to 7-year-old children (ASA I or 2) who were undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Postoperative pain was assessed 6 and 24 hours after surgery by a 6-face Faces Pain Scale that allowed quantification of pain on a 100-mm horizontal line (0 = no pain). The number of rectal doses of acetaminophen-codeine required during the first postoperative day was recorded. Results: The pain scores did not differ between the groups, either 6 or 24 hours after surgery (group F, 43 26, versus group R, 29 23, and group F, 24 23, versus group R, 30 28, respectively). Acetaminophen-codeine doses were similarly required in the two groups. Conclusions: Peritonsillar infiltration with 0.75% ropivacaine does not provide any major postoperative analgesic effect in 3- to 7-year-old children after adenotonsillectomy. A possible clinically minor analgesia 6 hours after surge is suggested.

Turbulent flow directly above the folds may lead to ail irregular or "rouah" voice. Thus, it is important to determine the mechanism of turbulence reduction. From fluid mechanics, it is known that a smoothly converging duct will reduce turbulence. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the majority of the turbulence reduction is due to the smooth converging shape of the subglottis. Methods: In 3 excised canine larynges, hot-wire anemometry was used to measure the turbulence intensity (TI) below the cricoid cartilage and 2 to 3 mm above the superior edge of the vocal folds. Laminar flow was seen when the TI was approximately less than 2%. For our measurements, flow into the subglottis had an average TI of more than 20% (high turbulence) in the shear layer and a TI of more than 15% in the center of the jet. The larynges were tested under steady conditions (folds not phonating) with the vocal processes approximated. Results: For the center of the jet, there is moderate turbulence below the cricoid cartilage and laminar flow 2 to 3 min above the folds. For the shear layer, there is very high turbulence below the cricoid cartilage and low turbulence 2 to 3 mm above the folds. Conclusions: The smooth converging shape of the subglottis can produce a significant reduction in turbulence. These C C findings may have important voice implications for operations that may change the subglottal shape (such as vocal fold medialization or airway reconstruction).

A unique practicum was designed to help otolaryngology resin dents develop endoscopy skills. The learning modalities included lectures, an animal laboratory, high-fidelity manikins, virtual bronchoscopy simulation, and standardized patients. This study compares the relative subjective value of these learning modalities for skill development and realism. Methods: Participants used a Likert scale (1 = disagree to 5 = agree) and open responses to anonymously rate the efficacy of 5 learning modalities for teaching airway management, endoscopy skills, and clinical leadership and for providing a realistic experience. Results: The results in 2007 were uniformly positive, with mean scores for every category and modality greater than 4 for developing cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills; managing normal and abnormal conditions; preventing and managing, complications; improving endoscopy skills; understanding team process; and experiencing overall and manual "feel" realism. In 2008, the participants were encouraged to more critically evaluate the course. The ratings demonstrated statistically significant differences between the mean scores for 4 of the 9 evaluation categories in 2007 and all 9 categories in 2008. Conclusions: Specific learning modalities (eg, lecture, animal laboratory, high-fidelity manikin, virtual bronchoscopy, standardized patient) were perceived to have different values for teaching airway management, developing encloscopy skills, teaching clinical leadership, and providing a realistic experience. We propose that these learning modalities can be used in a complementary manner. C1 [Deutsch, Ellen S.] Alfred I duPont Hosp Children, Div Pediat Otolaryngol, Dept Surg, Wilmington, DE 19899 USA.

Methods: Intact neonatal larynges were obtained from fresh cadaveric specimens. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides were used to visualize the laryngeal structures, and photomicrographs of the vocal folds were taken at 100x magnification. The cell density of the lamina propria was calculated by counting the cells within each of five 100-mu m(2) regions within the study area, and the totals were then averaged for each area. Results: A total of 62 sections from 14 larynges with gestational ages of 19 to 36 weeks were examined. Histologic analysis revealed a uniform appearance of the vocal fold without apparent layers. The cell density of the lamina propria was 30 or more cells per 100 mu m(2) for 51.2% of larynges with less than 27 weeks of gestation. However, only 14.3% of the larynges with 27 or more weeks of gestation had an average cell density of 30 or more cells per region (p < 0.005). Conclusions: As described by previous studies, the lamina propria of the neonatal vocal folds is a hypercellular monolayer. The process of vocal fold maturation appears to occur earlier than previously thought, with decreasing cell density in the lamina propria by 27 weeks' gestation.

Methods: A retrospective review of 67 cases included "all comers," in that if the patient could undergo any type of tracheostomy, SL-PDT was offered, and it was performed in all but 1 patient. Patient demographics, intubation time, time from consultation to procedure, and perioperative complications were reviewed. Results: Sixty-six patients underwent SL-PDT; 54 procedures were performed bedside in the intensive care unit, and 12 in the operating room. Use of the operating room was due to lack of intensivist availability or possible need for an emergent surgical airway. Early in the series, 1 patient required open tracheostomy because of unfavorable anatomy. Two major complications occurred: 1 perioperative airway obstruction and 1 severe bradycardic event. The 2 patients were resuscitated without significant sequelae. Three minor complications occurred: 2 cases of endotracheal bleeding and 1 transient bradycardic event. Conclusions: Bedside SL-PDT is relatively safe and effective, and offers advantages over traditional PDT and open tracheostomy. This novel technique may encourage a concerted multidisciplinary effort, including otolaryngologists, to continue to improve bedside airway management in critically ill patients.

A lack of understanding for the range of normal swallowing may lead to inaccurate diagnoses and overly aggressive management of patients with dysphalgia. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of age (ie, young versus older), gender, bolus Volume (ie, 5 versus 10 mL), and bolus condition (ie, water versus milk) on Penetration-Aspiration Scale scores, bolus dwell little, pharyngeal closure duration, and residue in healthy adults. Methods: Twenty-three young adults (mean, 30.0 years of age) and 21 older adults (mean, 75.0 years of age) participated .Measurements were acquired during manoendoscopic swallowing assessments. The participants contributed 8 swallows, affording a Study total of 352 swallows for analysis. Results: The older adults demonstrated penetration on 19 swallows and aspiration on 11 swallows out of 168 swallows. There was a significant difference in the proportion of Penetration-Aspiration Scale scores across age and gender groups. Longer bolus dwell times were seen in older adults and with milk boluses, whereas residue severity was less in young adults and with water boluses. Conclusions: Endoscopic data on normal swallowing physiology were generated. These data may serve as an accurate benchmark for clinicians and researchers in the interpretation of dysphagia.

TI Balloon Dilation of the Frontal Recess in Patients With Chronic Frontal Sinusitis and Advanced Sinus Disease: An Initial Report SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE balloon dilation technology; minimally invasive technique ID FOLLOW-UP; SAFETY; FEASIBILITY; OSTIA AB Objectives: Balloon dilation of the sinus ostia and transition spaces is a relatively new tool in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis. Although Studies of its safety and application have been reported, its efficacy in specific indications has yet to be clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of balloon dilation of the frontal recess for the treatment of chronic frontal sinusitis in patients with advanced sinus disease. Methods: This was a prospective study of 20 patients who presented with chronic frontal sinusitis that had failed medical therapy and required operative intervention. Balloon dilation of the frontal recess was performed to improve drainage and ventilation of the frontal sinus. Preoperative and postoperative Computed tomography scans were compared for change in the radiologic stage of disease based both on the Lund-Mackay staging system and on the Lund grade (extent of mucosal thickening). Results: Twenty patients met the inclusion criteria during the study period and were followed for several months after operation. All patients underwent a frontal sinus procedure with balloon dilation either alone or in concert with other minimally invasive techniques. A total of 29 sinuses were available for analysis. No significant complications resulted from the procedure. Pretreatment and posttreatment Lund-Mackay scores showed significant improvement in patients with certain subsets of chronic rhinosinusitis. Conclusions: Balloon dilation of the frontal recess is a relatively safe intervention that can be used in the treatment of chronic frontal sinusitis, even in patients with advanced disease.

Methods: The files of 2,345 patients with BPPV were analyzed. Results: Single-canal BPPV occurred in 2,3 10 cases (98.5%) - unilaterally in 2,058 (89.1%) and bilaterally in 252 (10.9%). Multiple-canal BPPV occurred in 35 cases (1.5%). Of these 35 cases, there was simultaneous involvement of the posterior and lateral canals on the same side (23) or on opposite sides (9) in 32 cases (91.4%). Simultaneous involvement of the anterior canal on one side and the posterior canal on the opposite side occurred in 2 cases (5.7%), and that of the anterior canal on one side and the lateral canal on the opposite side occurred in 1 case (2.9%). All cases represented canalithiasis. Conclusions: Multiple-canal BPPV was rare, and usually involved canals on the same side; simultaneous involvement of the posterior and lateral canals was Much more common than involvement of the anterior and posterior canals or the anterior and lateral canals. Trauma increased the risk for multiple-canal BPPV, but not the risk for bilateral single-canal BPPV. Cupulolithiasis was not a factor in multiple-canal BPPV.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of pediatric patients treated for AM in a tertiary care hospital from March 2006 to March 2007. Results: Eleven children, 6 months to 10 years of age (mean age, 3.8 years), were treated for AM confirmed by computed tomography, which identified asymptomatic intracranial complications in 8 of the 11 patients: these were sigmoid sinus thrombosis (4 patients), epidural abscess (4), perisigmoid abscess or bony erosion (2), and tegmen mastoideum dehiscence (1). All patients required operative intervention with tympanomastoidectomy, although only 2 patients required neurosurgical intervention, consisting of evacuation of epidural abscess and sigmoid sinus thrombosis, respectively. Cultures yielded routine organisms and 1 multidrug-resistant strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae. One patient developed reaccumulation of the subperiosteal abscess that required revision mastoidectomy, and another patient developed postoperative sigmoid sinus thrombosis. Conclusions: Although uncommon, intracranial complications of AM may present without clinical signs or symptoms. Computed tomography of the temporal bone with contrast is essential for identifying asymptomatic complications. Mastoidectomy remains the mainstay of surgical treatment. Neurosurgical intervention and anticoagulation may be avoided with protracted postoperative intravenous antibiotics.

TI Indirect Estimation of Laryngeal Resistance Via Airflow Redirection SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE aerodynamic power; airflow redirection; laryngeal resistance; subglottal pressure ID ESTIMATING SUBGLOTTAL PRESSURE; PHONATION THRESHOLD PRESSURE; AERODYNAMICS; INTERRUPTION; EFFICIENCY; NODULES AB Objectives: Our aim was to estimate aerodynamic parameters of laryngeal resistance (RL) and aerodynamic power indirectly from a subglottal pressure (Ps) data trace obtained with the airflow redirection system. Methods: During airflow interruption, the airflow redirection tank fills capacitively with pressure until it reaches the Subject's Ps. Therefore, a time constant, T, can be extracted from the data trace and used to calculate RL. The validity of applying this method to the estimation of RL was demonstrated with a computer model. Estimations were made for values of 10, 20, 30 40, and 50 cm H(2)O per liter per second (L/s). Twenty subjects performed 10 trials on the experimental system designed to measure Ps. The values of RL and aerodynamic power were then calculated. Results: The computer model simulation yielded a maximum measurement error of 3.00% and a mean error of 1.78%. In human subject testing, the mean +/- SD laryngeal resistance was 22.61 +/- 8.65 cm H(2)O per L/s, the mean Ps was 6.91 +/- 1.94 cm H(2)O, and the mean aerodynamic power was 0.247 +/- 0.170 kPa x (L/s). Conclusions: The proposed method of data analysis enables a clinician to estimate RL and aerodynamic power from a single experimental trial designed to measure Ps. This technique provides the clinician with an aerodynamic function report that can be used to analyze patient health and treatment efficacy.

Methods: Seven FVB strain mice were used in this study. A laryngoscope and 3 micro-instruments were designed and fabricated to facilitate endoscopic vocal fold visualization and the creation of vocal fold surgical injuries. The larynges were harvested 1 and 7 days after surgery, and the vocal fold injury sites were evaluated by routine hematoxylin and eosin staining. Additional immunohistochemical analysis of collagen type I and elastin distribution in the lamina propria was performed for an uninjured control larynx. Results: Endoscopic visualization and vocal fold stripping resulting in thyroarytenoid muscle exposure were successful in all animals. Histologic and immunohistochemical analyses revealed it simple lamina propria structure with relatively even collagen type I and elastin distribution in the control vocal fold, obliteration of vocal fold mucosa 1 day after surgery, and complete reepithelialization by 7 clays. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the feasibility of creating reproducible vocal fold injuries via an endoscopic approach in mice. The observation that the mouse lamina propria may have a relatively simple histologic structure indicates that additional characterization should be performed and caution used in translating findings between this and other model systems.

The primary defense mechanism for protection of the lower airway is the glottic closure reflex (GCR), elicited by stimulation of the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. This reflex, once considered highly stable, is now considered vulnerable to a growing number of clinical factors. This study was designed to explore the biomechanical effects of hypoxia and hypercarbia, common occurrences among critically ill patients, on the GCR. Methods: Five adult male Yorkshire pigs were used in the study. Both internal superior laryngeal nerves were simultaneously stimulated with bipolar platinum-iridium electrodes. The glottic closing force (GCF) was then measured by placing a pressure transducer between the adducting vocal folds under 3 different protocols: protocol 1 (control), protocol 2 (hypoxia: partial pressure of arterial oxygen 1 Pao2] levels of 90, 70, and 50 mm Hg), and protocol 3 (hypercarbia: partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide [Paco2] levels of 60 and 70 mm Hg). Six readings were recorded under each experimental paradigm, and Student's t-test was applied to calculate the statistical significance against the control. Results: Hypoxia reduced the GCF to 75%, 40%, and 29% of control for P 102 levels of 90, 70, and 50 mm Hg, respectively, and hypercarbia reduced the GCF to 40% and 27% of control for Paco2 levels of 60 and 70 rum Fig, respectively. Conclusions: This is the first study that highlights the biomechanical impact of hypoxia and hypercarbia on the GCR, providing a unified explanation for the increased incidence of life-threatening aspiration in critically ill patients with such alterations.

TI Effect of Dehydration on Phonation Threshold Flow in Excised Canine Larynges SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE excised larynx; dehydration; phonation; phonation threshold flow ID HYDRATION; PRESSURE AB Objectives: The minimum airflow necessary to initiate stable vocal fold vibration - phonation threshold flow (PTF) - may increase as exposure to dry air increases. A critical period of dehydration may exist after which phonation can no longer be initiated. Methods: We collected PTF data for 11 excised canine larynges mounted on a bench apparatus. Trials consisted of cycles of 10 seconds of phonation followed by 3 seconds of rest. During the experimental trials, subglottal flow of comparatively dry air was increased until phonation was initiated, and phonation was sustained for the remainder of the 10-second period. The subglottal flow was then decreased until phonation ceased. No saline solution was applied during the dehydration trials. During the control trials, subglottal airflow was humidified and saline solution was applied frequently to the vocal folds. Results: The PTF increased as exposure to dry air increased during the experimental trials (p = 0.010); this relationship was not statistically significant in control trials. A point existed after which phonation could not be initiated. Conclusions: Knowledge of the effect of exposure to dry air on PTF could be useful in the clinical assessment and prevention of dehydration. Further exploration of this relationship in vivo could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of current hydration therapies and provide theoretical support for the development of new ones.

When we excluded meals and sleep, the mean duration of acid exposure was 271 seconds (SD, 356) or 0.31% of the total time for the OP probe and 27 1 seconds (SD, 359) or 0.31% of the total time for the UES probe. The correlation coefficient (R) between the two probes for measurement of the duration of acid exposure was 0.50 (p < 0.05). When we excluded meals and the supine position, the R was notably higher, at 0.95 (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The OP probe reliably documented LPR events when meals and sleep were eliminated and was better tolerated than the standard dual probe.

Methods: Data collection was made regarding any closed claims that involved vocal fold paralysis. The results were then analyzed and categorized. The PubMed literature regarding this complication was reviewed, and recommendations on prevention were compiled. Finally, suggestions regarding management based on the current literature and the senior author's 17-year experience in his laryngeal practice are offered. Results: From 1986 to 2007, 112 closed claims involving vocal fold paralysis were reported by the 16 largest malpractice insurers. More than US $10 million ($18 million adjusted for inflation [AJI]) has been paid thus far. The average indemnity was $285,000 ($513,000 AJI). The surgical physician defendants were from multiple specialties, including general surgery (31%), cardiothoracic surgery (12%), neurosurgery (12%), otolaryngology (10%). and orthopedic surgery (5%). The most common procedures were thyroid and parathyroid surgery (32%). cervical disc procedures (16%), thoracic procedures (12%), endarterectomy (9%), and open neck biopsy (6%). The most common claims cited were improper performance (61%), failure to recognize a complication (36%), and consent issues (19%). Conclusions: Vocal fold paralysis is a complication of many different Surgical procedures across multiple specialty lines. Closed-claims analysis can offer a unique glimpse on what went wrong and why patients sue. Modification of techniques and incorporation of new technology may significantly reduce this complication. Preoperative written information on potential complications, and early referral to and management by laryngeal specialists, we believe, may significantly reduce malpractice litigation.

We also studied the predictive value of smoking for the recovery of the olfactory function in these patients. Methods: We studied 116 patients with nasal polyposis who underwent ESS. Olfactory testing was performed with the Sniffin' Sticks test before operation and 1, 3, and 6 months after operation. Results: All patients achieved a statistically significant stepwise increment of all of the indices of olfactory function over time. The composite threshold-discrimination-identification score was lower in smokers than in nonsmokers in all test-in-sessions, but none of these differences reached statistical significance. After adjustment for preoperative olfactory measures and all other potential confounders, the effect of smoking oil the 6-month postoperative measurement was not significant. However, we did find a statistically significant adverse effect of the quantity of smoking on the olfactory threshold scores. Conclusions: Both smokers and nonsmokers achieve a highly significant improvement on their olfactory function from ESS. Although smoking is not a major predictive factor for the short-term outcome of the olfactory function after ESS, a greater quantity of smoking may have an effect on the 6-month postoperative odor thresholds.

The incidence of oral squamous Cell carcinoma in younger patients has increased. We report a case of a young woman, 25 weeks pregnant, who presented with stage IV carcinoma of the oral tongue. Methods: The following is a case presentation and literature review. Results: The patient presented with T4 N3 MO oral tongue cancer. A team consisting of a head and neck surgeon, a radiation oncologist, it medical oncologist, and a maternal-fetal medicine specialist was assembled. The patient initially refused surgery. Chemotherapy was initiated until 32 weeks' gestation. After an infant boy was delivered via cesarean section, the patient began concurrent irradiation and chemotherapy, which induced complete regression of the primary tongue neoplasm with a partial response of the neck nodes. The patient underwent bilateral neck dissection followed by hemiglossectomy for recurrence. Conclusions: Management of advanced oral carcinoma in pregnancy presents a unique set of challenges. Few studies have described chemotherapy and radiotherapy during pregnancy, and long-term results are needed. Care must be taken M to balance appropriate and adequate treatment of disease and to ensure the safety of the patient and the fetus, C1 [Cheung, Esther J.; Fedok, Fred; Goldenberg, David] Penn State Hershey Med Ctr, Div Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Dept Surg, Hershey, PA 17033 USA.

An otherwise healthy 21-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of progressive shortness of breath and stridor. The initial examination revealed a 3-cm, grade III subglottic stenosis. Nodular fibrosis of the strap muscles, laryngotracheal cartilages, and trachea was evident. Biopsies revealed dense peritracheal desmoplastic reaction with focal erosion of cartilage. However, features diagnostic for relapsing polychondritis, desmoid tumor, or orbital pseudotumor were absent. The disease progressed to involve severe stenosis and thickening of the trachea and main stem bronchi. Surgical and medical management of this unusual fibrosclerotic lesion did not meliorate the disease process, but a recent encouraging response to tamoxifen citrate has been observed with improvements in vocal fold motion and activity levels. Prognosis and management experience for this unknown pathologic entity are absent in the literature. In this case, diffuse disease progression Occurred despite surgical and medical management, but has been halted by tamoxifen therapy. The prospect of a durable response and disease remission is unknown.

Methods: Deglutition during sleep was examined in 10 patients with a mean (+/-SD) age of 48 +/- 11 years who had severe OSAHS (apnea-hypopnea index, 66.6 17.6) via time-matched recordings of polysomnography and surface electromyoaraphy of the thyrohyoid and suprahyoid muscles. Results: During sleep, deglutition was episodic, and was absent for long periods. Deglutition did not occur during apnea or hypopnea periods. The mean number of swallows per hour during the total sleep time was 5.4 +/- 3.1. The mean period of the longest absence of deglutition was 43.5 +/- 14.7 minutes. Most deglutition occurred in association with respiratory electroencephalographic arousal after apnea or hypopnea. Approximately 70% of swallows were followed by inspiration. Deglutition was related to the sleep stage. The mean number of swallows per hour was 6.2 +/- 6.1 during stage 1 sleep, 6.0 +/- 3.4 during stage 2 sleep, 3.0 +/- 5.2 during stage 3 sleep, and 0 during stage 4 sleep. The deeper the sleep stage, the lower the mean deglutition frequency. The mean number of swallows per hour was 4.5 +/- 3.0 during rapid eye movement sleep. Conclusions: Deglutition was infrequent and displayed a unique pattern in patients with OSAHS during sleep.

TI Secondary Airway Lesions in Infants With Laryngomalacia SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE gastroesophageal reflux disease; laryngomalacia; stridor; subglottic stenosis; tracheomalacia ID STRIDOR; ETIOLOGY; OBSTRUCTION; ENDOSCOPY; CHILDREN; REFLUX AB Objectives: We sought to determine the incidence of secondary airway lesions in infants with laryngomalacia and to compare the incidences of these concomitant airway lesions in infants with severe, moderate, and mild laryngomalacia; to determine whether infants with mild or moderate laryngomalacia have a higher incidence of surgical intervention when a secondary airway lesion is present; and to determine whether the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is affected by the presence of a secondary airway lesion. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of a database consisting of 201 infants with a diagnosis of laryngomalacia treated at a pediatric tertiary referral center between June 1998 and June 2003. Data pertaining to demographic information, severity of laryngomalacia, presence of secondary airway lesions, and diagnosis of GERD were collected and analyzed. Results: Of the 201 infants, 104 (51.7%) were found to have a secondary airway lesion. Subglottic stenosis was found in 38.8%, and tracheomalacia in 37.8%. Of the infants with severe laryngomalacia, 30 (79%) had a diagnosis of a secondary lesion, compared with 5 1 (61.5%) of those with moderate and 23 (28.8%) of those with mild disease. Among infants with mild or moderate disease, those with secondary airway lesions were more likely to require surgical intervention than were infants without secondary airway lesions (27% versus 5.6%; p = 0.0002). There was no difference in the rates of secondary airway lesions in infants managed with supraglottoplasty versus tracheotomy. The incidence of GERD in this patient Population was 65.6%. Infants with a secondary airway lesion were more likely to have GERD than were those without a secondary airway lesion (84.6% versus 45.4%; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The incidence of secondary airway lesions in Our Population of infants with laryngomalacia was higher than those previously reported. The severity of disease correlated with the diagnosis of a secondary airway lesion. Secondary airway lesions lead to an increased incidence Of Surgical intervention and GERD in infants with laryngomalacia. C1 [Dickson, J.

It has also been shown that the vortices generate a negative pressure between the folds, producing a suction force that causes sudden, rapid closing of the folds. This rapid closing will produce increased loudness and increased higher harmonics. We used a unilateral scarred excised canine larynx model to determine whether the intraglottal vortices and resulting acoustics were changed, compared to those of normal larynges. Methods: Acoustic, flow field. and high-speed imaging measurements from 5 normal and 5 unilaterally scarred canine larynges are presented in this report. Scarring was produced by complete resection of the vocal fold mucosa and superficial layer of the lamina propria on the right vocal fold only. Two months later, these dogs were painlessly sacrificed, and testing was done on the excised larynges during phonation. High-speed video imaging was then used to measure vocal fold displacement during different phases. Particle image velocimetry and acoustic measurements were used to describe possible acoustic effects of the vortices. Results: A higher phonation threshold was required to excite the motion of the vocal fold in scarred larynges. As the Subglottal pressure increased, the strength of the vortices and the higher harmonics both consistently increased. However, it was seen that increasing the maximum displacement of the scarred fold did not consistently increase the higher harmonics. The improvements that result from increasing subglottal pressure may be due to a combination of increasing the strength of the intraglottal vortices and increasing the maximum displacement of the vocal folds however, the data in this study suggest that the vortices play a much more important role. Conclusions: The current Study indicates that higher subglottal pressures may excite higher harmonics and improve loudness for patients with unilateral vocal fold scarring. This finding implies that therapies that raise the subglottal pressure may be helpful in improving voice quality.

Methods: Ten New Zealand White breeder rabbits weighing 3 to 5 kg were used in this study. The cricothyroid muscles were isolated bilaterally, and separate pairs of anode-cathode hooked-wire electrodes were inserted into each Muscle. A Grass S-88 stimulator and 2 constant-current PSIU6 isolation units were used to deliver bipolar square wave pulses to each cricothyroid muscle, with airflow delivered to the glottis through a Cuffed endotracheal tube. Results: Phonation was evoked with a 50-Hz, 4-mA stimulus train of 1-ms pulses delivered to each cricothyroid muscle. The pulse trains were oil for 2 seconds and were repeated every 5 seconds over a period Of 180 Minutes. Airflow was delivered at 143 cm(3)/s, producing phonation measuring 71 to 85 dB Sound pressure level. Conclusions: Evoked phonation is feasible in rabbits by use of bipolar stimulation of the cricothyroid muscles with airflow delivered to the glottis. The in vivo rabbit preparation described may provide a useful small animal option for studies of evoked phonation. From the level and consistency of the adduction observed, we hypothesize that current spreading to the underlying adductor muscles and nerves resulted in neural pathway involvement beyond discrete activation of the cricothyroid muscle, providing sufficient approximation of the vocal folds for phonation.

TI Serial Electromyography of the Thyroarytenoid Muscles Using the NIM-Response System in a Canine Model of Vocal Fold Paralysis SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE laryngeal electromyography; recurrent laryngeal nerve; vocal fold paralysis ID LARYNGEAL ELECTROMYOGRAPHY; CORD PARALYSIS; CHILDREN; MANAGEMENT; IMMOBILITY AB Objectives: We sought to determine whether serial intraoperative laryngeal electromyography (L-EMG) or evoked L-EMG predicts vocal fold (VF) recovery following iatrogenic injury. Methods: Six beagles were sedated, and bipolar needle electrodes were inserted into each thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle. Endotracheal tube surface electrodes were also placed. As the sedation lightened, L-EMG activity was recorded from all electrodes with an intraoperative nerve monitoring system. The neck was opened, and direct recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) stimulation was performed. Subsequently, 4 animals underwent crush injury of the left RLN, and 2 animals underwent nerve transection. The L-EMG procedures were repeated every I to 2 weeks until left VF motion was observed in the dogs that suffered RLN crush injury. At each time point, the neck was opened and both RLNs were stimulated. Results: Fibrillation potentials were detected in all animals after RLN injury. A change to electrical silence was seen in the animals in the crush injury group that were evaluated during the week preceding VF recovery. Fibrillation potentials and VF immobility persisted in the transection group throughout the complete time course of these experiments. The first appearance of an evoked response coincided with or occurred after the return of left VF motion in the crush injury group. The threshold, latency, and amplitude differed from those of the controls and approached normal values over time. No response was detected in the transected nerves. Conclusions: The disappearance of fibrillations on intraoperative L-EMG was noted in the animals tested the week before the return of VF motion, and the return of motor unit action potentials was seen along with return of VF function. Evoked L-EMG was not helpful in predicting the return of VF mobility, but it may help quantify degrees of RLN injury and predict the speed of recovery.

To elucidate the functions of Th2 cytokines in allergic rhinitis, we examined the in vivo effects of the Th2 cytokine inhibitor suplatast tosilate on mucus hypersecretion and eosinophil infiltration in rat nasal epithelium. Methods: We induced hypertrophic and metaplastic changes in goblet cells in the nasal epithelium of ovalbumin-sensitized rats by intranasal challenge with ovalbumin. The effects of orally administered suplatast tosilate on mucus production and eosinophil infiltration were examined. Results: Suplatast tosilate (30 and 100 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited ovalbumin-induced mucus production and eosinophil infiltration. These suppressions of mucus production and eosinophil infiltration were only effective when suplatast tosilate was given in the effector phase; administration in the induction phase resulted in no effect. Conclusions: These results indicate that Th2 cytokines are important mediators of mucus hypersecretion and eosinophil infiltration in allergic rhinitis. Suplatast tosilate may be useful for the treatment of allergic rhinitis by attenuating the inflammation of the effector phase.

Nimodipine can promote regeneration, but it is not yet clear whether preoperative treatment is necessary. It is also not clear whether surgical repair following RLN injury may be performed ill a second procedure, with preserved regeneration. This study investigated the time window for secondary surgical repair of the transected RLN and the need for preoperative administration of nimodipille. Methods: In adult rats, the left RLN was transected and repaired at time intervals LIP to 3 weeks after transection, ill combination with nimodipine treatment starting either before or after the operation. Regeneration and neuromuscular recovery were assessed by electrophysiology, retrograde tracing, and immunohistochemistry. Results: Similar (whether 0, 2, or 7 days) regenerative results were obtained when the RLN was repaired up to 1 week after injury, given nimodipine administration, whereas fewer motor neurons managed to regenerate after nerve repair at 3 weeks after the initial transection. No beneficial effect was detected from preoperative nimodipine administration. Conclusions: Provided that nimodipine is administered, surgical reconstruction of the RLN can be performed within I week after the initial nerve trauma, with preserved neuromuscular function. Nimodipine may be administered at the time of RLN transection injury. C1 [Hydrnan, Jonas; Mattsson, Per] Karolinska Inst, Neurosurg Sect, Dept Clin Neurosci, Stockholm, Sweden.

This study provides a contemporary review of our institution's clinical experience in performing endolymphatic mastoid shunt surgery (EMSS) in patients with medically refractory endolymphatic hydrops, or Meniere's disease. Methods: Between 1984 and 2002, 1,612 patients were referred to our institution with a diagnosis of Meniere's disease. Of these referrals, 1, 172 patients met the criteria for Meniere's disease. Although 553 patients responded to medical management, 486 patients underwent EMSS and 133 patients had refractory disease that required chemical or surgical obliterative interventions. The retrospective study utilizes data collected on 226 patients who were followed for a minimum of 5 years. Results: Overall, 78% patients responded favorably to EMSS, according to the functional level scale and class categories delineated by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery 1995 guidelines for control of vertigo. According to the Arenberg anatomic classification for endolymphatic sac location, EMSS achieved adequate control of vertigo in 86% of type I cases, 90% of type II cases, and 82% of type III cases. Conclusions: Endolymphatic mastoid shunt surgery is a relatively safe, effective procedure for the long-term control of vertigo in patients with medically refractory Meniere's disease.

Its measurement, though useful as a potential diagnostic tool for noncontact assessment of vocal fold stiffness, often requires manual and painstaking determination of an unstable F0 of voice. Here, we provide a computer-aided technique that enables one to carry out the determination easily and accurately. Methods: Human subjects vocalized in accordance with a series of reference sounds from a speaker controlled by a computer. Transglottal pressures were altered by means of a valve embedded in a mouthpiece. Time-varying vocal F0 was extracted, without manual procedures, from a specific range of the voice spectrum determined on the basis of the controlled reference sounds. Results: The validity of the proposed technique was assessed for II healthy subjects. Fluctuating voice F0 was tracked automatically during experiments, providing the relationship between transglottal pressure change and F0 on the computer. Conclusions: The proposed technique overcomes the difficulty in automatic determination of the voice F0, which tends to be transient both in normal voice and in some types of pathological voice.

Vascular anomalies often manifest as subglottic lesions in infants, but venous malformations in adults are rare in the pharyngolaryngeal region. The treatments include open and endoscopic surgery; intraoperative bleeding is often troublesome. Angiolytic lasers such as the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser enable photocoagulation for such hemorrhagic lesions without bleeding; we report findings from a series of adult patients. Methods: Seven adults were treated with a KTP laser set at a low power of 1.5 W in continuous mode. Photocoagulation was easily performed for shallow lesions; however, laser irradiation of bulky venous malformations resulted only in surface photocoagulation. In such cases, the crust remaining after photocoagulation was removed, and laser energy was repeatedly delivered until no remnant lesion was seen. An office procedure using flexible endoscopy was performed under topical anesthesia for I patient with a limited lesion. Results: The lesions were well controlled in all cases without major complications. A patient with a large obstructing lesion had a relapse. Because the recurrent lesion is small and the patient does not desire additional treatment at this time, she is being observed carefully. Conclusions: Photocoagulation using the KTP laser is a feasible and relatively safe treatment for pharyngolaryngeal venous malformations in adults.

A recent report has shown an incongruence between an endoscopic diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus and biopsy-proven Barrett's esophagus in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). The goal of this study was to determine whether performing TNE with narrowband imaging (NBI) improves on the diagnostic yield in the otolaryngologist's hands. Narrowband imaging involves the use of filtered light to enhance the mucosal microvasculature pattern and has been shown to be highly sensitive to detecting Barrett's esophagus under conventional esophagoscopy. Methods: A retrospective chart review of I I I patients with LPR who underwent TNE by the same otolaryngologist was carried out. Pentax EE-1580K (white light only) and Olympus GIF-N180 (with NBI) endoscopes were used in 58 and 53 patients, respectively. Microcup biopsy of the squamocolumnar junction was obtained when Barrett's esophagus was suspected. Results: Biopsy-proven Barrett's esophagus was found in 13.5% of the patients. According to white light only and NBI, 7 of 58 (12. 1 %) and 8 of 53 (15. 1 %), respectively, had biopsy-proven Barrett's esophagus. Three patients had dysplasia on biopsy (2.7%), and all of these cases were detected under NBI (5.7%). Conclusions: Narrowband imaging may be a useful adjunct in increasing the diagnostic sensitivity of TNE in the hands of the otolaryngologist.

TI Immunologic Response of the Laryngeal Mucosa to Extraesophageal Reflux SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE CD1d; extraesophageal reflux; iGb3; NKT cell ID LARYNGOPHARYNGEAL REFLUX; NKT CELLS; ARCHITECTURE; EPITHELIUM; EXPRESSION; DISEASE AB Objectives: Extraesophageal reflux is common. The treatment costs are high, and there are associations with other diseases, including laryngeal cancer. Our studies of the mucosal immune response to this common inflammatory disease suggest an important role for the nonclassic antigen-presenting molecule CD1d in the response to inflammation. This study was performed to further explore the relationship between the CD1d-NKT cell-iGb3 axis and reflux. Methods: We carried out a prospective study of laryngeal biopsies from 12 patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux and I I controls. Quantitative multiple-color immunofluorescence using antibodies for lymphocytes (CD3, CD161) and classic and nonclassic major histocompatibility complex (I, II, beta 2m, CD1d) was per-formed, and univariate and multivariate analysis and co-localization measurements were applied. Results: Epithelial major histocompatibility complex class I and II expression was unchanged by reflux, but expression of CD1d increased (p < 0.05; luminal layers) and confidence intervals diminished in the reflux group. Co-localization of NKT cells with CD1d increased in patients (p < 0.01); iGb3 exhibited strong expression throughout all layers of the laryngeal epithelium. Conclusions: These data indicate a role for the CD1d-NKT cell-iGb3 axis in response to extraesophageal reflux in humans. This represents a useful target for novel diagnostics and treatments for this common condition.

Methods: This retrospective case series included all infants born with TEFs who presented to our pediatric otolaryngology unit and intensive care unit because of dyspnea or aphonia in the years 2005 and 2006, and who were found to have vocal fold paralysis. Results: Five boys and I girl were studied. One infant had stridor before TEF repair, and 5 after it. All children underwent flexible laryngotracheobronchoscopy and were treated in the pediatric intensive care unit before diagnosis of the vocal fold paralysis (5 bilaterally and I unilaterally) was made. The ages at diagnosis of paralysis ranged between 14 days and 14 months. Five infants required tracheostomy. Conclusions: Vocal fold paresis in infants is difficult to diagnose. The risk for recurrent laryngeal nerve injury associated with TEF and TEF repair should be emphasized in these children. We recommend that all newborns with TEF should be examined by an otolaryngologist before operation to confirm the mobility of the vocal folds and to rule out other associated airway malformations, and examined after operation if respiratory difficulties develop.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE bacterial biofilm; chronic rhinosinusitis; functional endoscopic sinus surgery; respiratory epithelium ID PSEUDOMONAS-AERUGINOSA; INFECTIONS; SINUSITIS; MUCOSA; CELLS AB Objectives: We assess the association between the presence of biofilms and cilial damage in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), describe the microorganisms associated with samples that exhibited cilial loss and biofilms, and demonstrate the absence of ciliary injury and biofilms in similarly prepared "normal" controls. Methods: We examined samples of ethmoid mucosa obtained from 24 patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery for CRS. Samples from a control group (20 healthy subjects) were also examined. The specimens were divided into 2 fragments; the first was processed for bacterial cultures, and the second was subjected to scanning electron microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: All CRS samples had positive bacterial cultures. The scanning electron microscopy analysis showed bacterial biofilms in 10 of the 24 specimens. A marked destruction of the epithelium was observed in samples positive for biofilms (p < 0.001), and the presence of Haemophilus influenzae was associated with ciliary abnormalities (partial damage in 55.6% and absence of cilia in 50%; p = 0.041). Conclusions: The high percentage of biofilms in our specimens confirms the association between biofilms and CRS. Our data support the hypothesis that biofilm formation represents the latter phase of an inflammatory process that leads to complete epithelial destruction.

However, surgeons should perform careful diagnosis of any contralateral maxillary sinus lesions to avoid missing a second primary maxillary sinus carcinoma. We therefore investigated the computed tomography (CT) findings of the contralateral maxillary sinus in patients with nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinus carcinoma. Methods: Between August 1994 and September 2006, 66 patients (41 male, 25 female; age range, 22 to 85 years; mean age, 56.9 years) with nasal and/or paranasal sinus carcinoma were treated. Preoperative and follow-up CT scans of their contralateral maxillary sinuses were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Of the 66 patients, 26 (39.4%) had rhinosinusitis, 6 (9.1 %) had retention cysts, and 33 (50.0%) showed normal findings on CT. One patient (1.5%) had bilateral enhanced mass-like lesions. Both masses were diagnosed histologically as poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The rhinosinusitis findings included mucoperiosteal thickening, sclerotic bone thickening, hyperdense secretion, and an air-fluid level, in order of decreasing frequency. Twenty-three of the 32 patients with benign lesions were included in the follow-up CT analysis, ranging from 24 to 108 months (mean, 45 months). On the final CT scan, rhinosinusitis was aggravated in 5 of 19 cases and improved in 14 cases, and the size of the retention cyst decreased in 4 cases. During the follow-up period, no definite abnormality suggesting tumor development in the contralateral maxillary sinus was detected. Conclusions: Even though most contralateral maxillary sinus lesions are benign and the incidence of bilateral maxillary sinus carcinoma is very low, second primary maxillary sinus carcinoma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of contralateral maxillary sinus lesions in patients with nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinus carcinoma.

Methods: A prospective study was performed on 70 healthy volunteers without health care-associated risks or sinonasal disease. Middle meatal specimens were carefully taken by an endoscopically guided swab technique. The specimens were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the broth disc method. Results: Bacterial growths were recovered in 66 of the 70 specimens (94.3%). Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were the most common isolates (61.6%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (11.6%) and Corynebacterium sp (9.3%). All growths were quantified as very rare (73.3%), rare (13.9%), or few (12.8%). Obligate anaerobic bacteria were not identified. The samples positive for CNS showed multiple resistances to antibiotics, including erythromycin stearate (30.2%), clindamycin hydrochloride (28.3%), oxacillin sodium (a clinical substitute for methicillin sodium; 18.9%), and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (9.4%). Conclusions: A small amount of CNS with or without multiple antibiotic resistances and/or S aureus cultured from the middle meatus can be considered contaminants in middle meatal culture during an episode of rhinosinusitis.

The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the 10-item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10). Methods: The investigation consisted of 4 phases: 1) line-item generation, 2) line-item reduction and reliability, 3) normative data generation, and 4) validity analysis. All data were collected prospectively. Internal consistency was assessed with the Cronbach alpha. Test-retest reliability was evaluated with the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Normative data were obtained by administering the instrument to a community cohort of healthy volunteers. Validity was assessed by administering the instrument before and after dysphagia treatment and by evaluating survey differences between normal persons and those with known diagnoses. Results: A total of 629 surveys were administered to 482 patients. The internal consistency (Cronbach alpha) of the final instrument was 0.960. The test-retest intra-item correlation coefficients ranged from 0.72 to 0.91. The mean (+/- SD) EAT-10 score of the normal cohort was 0.40 +/- 1.01. The mean EAT-10 score was 23.58 +/- 13.18 for patients with esophageal dysphagia, 23.10 +/- 12.22 for those with oropharyngeal dysphagia, 9.19 +/- 12.60 for those with voice disorders, 22.42 +/- 14.06 for those with head and neck cancer, and 11.71 +/- 9.61 for those with reflux. The patients with oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia and a history of head and neck cancer had a significantly higher EAT-10 score than did those with reflux or voice disorders (p < 0.00 1). The mean EAT-10 score of the patients with dysphagia improved from 19.87 +/- 10.5 to 5.2 +/- 7.4 after treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The EAT-10 has displayed excellent internal consistency, test-retest reproducibility, and criterion-based validity. The normative data suggest that an EAT-10 score of 3 or higher is abnormal. The instrument may be utilized to document the initial dysphagia severity and monitor the treatment response in persons with a wide array of swallowing disorders.

TI Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 9 Are Concentrated in the Luminal Aspect of the Cricoid Cartilage, Diminish With Loss of Perichondrium, and Are Reinstated by Transforming Growth Factor Beta 3 SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cricoid development; metalloproteinase; subglottic stenosis; transforming growth factor AB Objectives: We determined the location of matrix metalloprotemases (MMP) 2 and 9, and whether the luminal perichondrium or transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 3 influences the presence of MMP-2 and/or -9 within the chondrocytes of the cricoid cartilage. Methods: Subglottises from 15 neonatal mice were divided into group A (N = 5; luminal epithelium intact, grown in basic medium), group B (N = 5; epithelium-free, with sections of luminal perichondrium removed, grown in basic medium), and group C (N = 5; epithelium-free, with sections of luminal perichondrium removed, grown in basic medium with supplemental TGF-beta 3). Immunohistochemical analysis was done to identify MMP-2 and -9 distributions. Results: Group A demonstrated concentrations of MMP-2 and -9 in the luminal perichondrial and adjacent chondrocytes with a gradual decrease in signal intensity toward the outer perichondrium. Group B showed findings similar to those in group A, but in the region of removed perichondrium, the adjacent chondrocytes lost MMP-2 and -9 signal. The group C rings demonstrated reestablishment of MMP-2 and -9 signal in regions of luminal perichondrial loss. Conclusions: Localization of MMP-2 and -9 is predominantly in the luminal perichondrium and gradually decreases toward the outer perichondrium. The luminal perichondrium maintains expression of MMP-2 and -9 within the adjacent chondrocytes. Exogenous TGF-beta 3 reestablishes production of at least MMP-9, and probably MMP-2, in cricoid cartilages missing luminal perichondrium.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to define the endoscopic locations of the ethmoid arteries. Methods: Twenty-four cadaver heads were used to identify the endoscopic location of the ethmoid arteries via an external incision. An image guidance system was used to record the locations of these arteries. The anterior ethmoid artery was referenced to the axilla of the middle turbinate, and the posterior ethmoid artery to the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. The closest lamella to these arteries was identified. Results: Forty-eight nasal cavities were dissected. The mean distance from the axilla to the anterior ethmoid artery was 17.5 mm. The anterior ethmoid artery was located immediately anterior to (31%), at (36%), or immediately posterior to (33%) the superior attachment of the basal lamella. The mean distance from the posterior ethmoid artery to the anterior ethmoid artery was 14.9 mm. The mean distance from the posterior ethmoid artery to the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus was 8.1 mm. The posterior ethmoid artery was either anterior to (98%) or at (2%) the anterior face of the sphenoid sinus. Conclusions: Specific endoscopic anatomic relationships and measurements have been presented for the anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries.

Methods: This was a cohort study, sponsored by Neuromonics, involving the first 470 patients to undertake the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment in 1 Neuromonics tinnitus clinics. All patients were provided with a dynamic acoustic neural stimulus, customized to each patient's audiometric profile, for daily use as part of a structured rehabilitation program. Tinnitus disturbance was assessed before, during, and after treatment with the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire. Results: The outcomes displayed a relation with patients' suitability according to predefined criteria: among the most suitable patients (tier 1 cohort), 92% exceeded the threshold for success (defined as a reduction in tinnitus-related disturbance of at least 40%), and the mean improvement in tinnitus disturbance was 72%; the discontinuance rate was 4%. For other suitability categories, the success rates and mean improvements were somewhat lower, and the discontinuance rates higher (tier 2: 60%, 49%, and 16%, respectively; tier 3: 39%, 32%, and 17%, respectively). Conclusions: The results showed that the treatment is effective for suitable patients in the private practice setting, and they provide health-care professionals with guidance as to what patients might expect from treatment, depending on their degree of suitability.

Methods: We compared the results of the traditional pure tone audiometry glycerol test with those of the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) glycerol test and the VEPP glycerol test in 22 patients affected by unilateral endolymphatic hydrops. Results: Some patients had positive depletive tests with both VEMPs and VEPPs, and other patients had positive tests with either VEMPs or VEPPs. Conclusions: Our outcomes confirmed that vestibular evoked potentials represent a useful additional diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of endolymphatic hydrops. The role of VEPPs in this particular issue was not inferior to that of VEMPs. The outcomes also suggested that not only the saccule, but also the utriculus, may be involved in the genesis of VEPPs.

Methods: An analysis was done of 93 of the 101 children 16 years of age or younger who underwent the simplified Nijmegen surgical technique between January 1994 and July 2007. Results: Twenty-one of 129 fixtures (16.3%) were lost or removed. In 12 cases, osseointegration failed. The majority of the fixture losses (86%) occurred within 1 year after surgery. No differences were found between 3 age groups or between fixture lengths (seven 3-mm implants versus fourteen 4-mm implants). The BAHA fixtures were less stable in children than in adults. In 8 cases, Holgers grade 4 skin reactions were noted at an average (+/- SD) of 5.5 +/- 4.7 months after surgery, ie, significantly sooner than the milder reactions (p = 0.001). In 28 cases (22%), skin reactions of Holgers grades 2 to 4 were observed. Revision surgery to reduce subcutaneous scar tissue was necessary in 22 implants (17%). Conclusions: Fixture loss was more frequent in children than in adults. The age of the child and the length of the fixture did not appear to influence fixture stability. Children should undergo frequent checkups at the outpatient clinic. C1 [de Wolf, Maarten J. F.; Hol, Myrthe K. S.; Huygen, Patrick L. M.; Mylanus, Emmanuel A. M.; Cremers, Cor W. R.

The present procedures addressing the hypopharynx are invasive and have substantial morbidity and limited efficacy. Methods: Ten patients (mean age, 44 years) with moderate to severe OSA, ie, an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) between 15 and 50, with CPAP intolerance were included in a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel tongue advancement procedure. The procedure consists of the implantation of a tissue anchor in the tongue base and an adjustment spool at the mandible. Titration of this tissue anchor results in advancement of the tongue and a patent upper airway. Results: The mean AHI decreased from 22.8 at baseline to 11.8 at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.007). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale score decreased from 11.4 at baseline to 7.7 at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.094), and the snoring score decreased from 7.5 at baseline to 3.9 at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.005). Four technical adverse events were noted, and I clinical adverse event occurred. Conclusions: Adjustable tongue advancement is a feasible and relatively safe way to reduce the AHI and snoring in selected patients with moderate to severe OSA and CPAP intolerance. Technical improvements and refinements to the procedure are ongoing.

TI Cystic Lymphatic Malformation of the Middle Ear SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE lymphangioma; lymphatic malformation; middle ear ID NECK AB Objectives: We review the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of cystic lymphangioma of the middle ear, and discuss the developmental etiology and management of such a lesion. Methods: We present an unusual location for the development of a cystic lymphangioma with emphasis on etiology, clinical implications, and current treatment. Results: A 10-year-old girl presented with a mass involving the medial surface of the right tympanic membrane. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a hyperintense lesion in the anterior-superior middle ear cavity without out evidence of vascular abnormalities. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the only report of lymphangioma involving the middle ear represented in the English-language literature. Such a lesion has been demonstrated to arise from abnormalities in growth factors that contribute to the tightly regulated process of lymphangiogenesis. Lymphatic malformations can be diagnosed presumptively by virtue of magnetic resonance imaging in combination with a detailed physical examination. The treatment of choice for lymphangiomas located in the middle ear is surgical excision. Definitive diagnosis of the lesion is then made by identifying specific histopathologic characteristics. Although rare and histologically benign, middle ear lymphangiomas may produce significant patient discomfort and ultimately a conductive hearing loss. Therefore, these lesions warrant early recognition and treatment. C1 [Tanna, Neil; Schessel, David A.] George Washington Univ, Div Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Washington, DC 20037 USA.

Methods: The Drosophila counterparts of 3 human deafness genes (DIAPH1/DFNA1, ESPN/DFNB36, and TMHS/DFNB67) were identified by sequence similarity. An electrophysiological assay was used to record sound-evoked potentials in response to an acoustic stimulus, the Drosophila courtship song. Results: Flies with mutations affecting the diaphanous, forked, and CG12026/TMHS genes displayed significant reductions in the amplitude of sound-evoked potentials compared to wild-type flies (p < 0.05 to p < 0.005). The mean responses were reduced from approximately 500 to 600 mu V in wild-type flies to approximately 100 to 300 RV in most mutant flies. Conclusions: The identification of significant auditory dysfunction in Drosophila orthologs of human deafness genes will facilitate exploration of the molecular biochemistry of auditory mechanosensation. This may eventually allow for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to human hereditary hearing loss.

Methods: Consecutive patients presenting for vocal analysis at the Beaumont Hospital Voice Clinic were enrolled in this prospective, blinded study. Control patients were enlisted from routine otolaryngology clinics. All patients were assessed by standard history, clinical examination, and flexible laryngoscopy or videostroboscopy. The subjects were blindly assessed by remote voice analysis. Sustained phonation was recorded over a standard telephone network. Each recording was subjected to automated, remote analysis of extracted features, including measures of pitch perturbation, amplitude perturbation, and harmonics-to-noise ratio. The presence or absence of a vocal fold paralysis as determined by the automated classifier was recorded and correlated with clinical findings. Results: Seventy-eight consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. The automated speech analysis system demonstrated 92% sensitivity and 75% specificity for detecting vocal fold paralysis. Conclusions: This pilot study, assessing an automated system that analyzes audiological data remotely over the standard telephone network, suggests that with further "training" it may become a reliable, simple, and convenient means for screening patients for voice disorders.

The gold standard for diagnosis is bronchoscopy, but there is no consensus regarding indications for the procedure. The aim of this study was to formulate a predictive model for assessing the probability of FBA in suspected cases as an aid in the decision to perform diagnostic bronchoscopy. Methods: The files of 150 patients who underwent bronchoscopy for suspected FBA at our center between 1996 and 2004 were reviewed for medical history, physical examination, and radiologic studies. The findings were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: Using the file data, we formulated a predictive model wherein each parameter received a numeric coefficient representing its significance in evaluating suspected FBA. The most significant parameters were age 10 to 24 months, foreign body in the child's mouth and severe respiratory complaints during the choking episode, hypoxemia, dyspnea or stridor following the acute event, unilateral signs on lung auscultation, abnormal tracheal radiogram, unilateral infiltrate or atelectasis, and local hyperinflation or obstructive emphysema on chest radiogram. Conclusions: In our predictive model, every case of suspected FBA can be assigned a score based on the specific parameters present, which is then entered into a probability formula to determine the likelihood of a positive diagnosis. This model may serve as a useful tool for deciding on the use of bronchoscopy in all children with suspected FBA.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and the initial and follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans of 37 patients with RT and 10 controls without RT. The CT scans were scored on the Lund-Mackay (LM) staging system. Results: Fifteen of the 37 patients had MT before RT, and the mean LM score was 0.68. The MT incidence significantly increased, to 72.9% (p = 0.009), and the LM score significantly increased, to 2.84 (p < 0.001), by 3 months after RT, after which the LM score decreased gradually to 1.73 at 36 months after RT. Four of the 10 controls had MT before treatment, and their mean LM score was 0.7. Their MT incidence and LM score had not changed significantly at 3 months after treatment. The pretreatment LM scores of the patient group and the control group were not significantly different, but their posttreatment LM scores were significantly different at the 3-month follow-up (p = 0.033). Conclusions: Use of RT in patients with nasal cavit and/or paranasal sinus carcinoma may cause a significant increase in the incidence of MT and in the LM scores in all sites of the paranasal sinuses by 3 months after RT, after which the LM score decreases gradually.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was per-formed. Adult patients with OSAHS were divided into 2 groups: those administered autoadjusted continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) before, on, and after the first postoperative night (CPAP group) and those not administered CPAP before or after the surgery (non-CPAP group). Tonsillectomy with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) under general anesthesia was performed on all of the patients. On the first postoperative night, continuous overnight monitoring of Pes and oxygen saturation level was carried out simultaneously with oxygen supplementation in both groups in the patient's room in the general ward. Results: The CPAP group showed a significantly improved mean inspiratory maximal end-apneic Pes swing on the first postoperative night as compared with the non-CPAP group, although there was no significant difference in oxygen desaturation index on the first postoperative night between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Continuous Pes monitoring and CPAP administration were beneficial in the detection and minimization of respiratory disturbances in patients with OSAHS who underwent tonsillectomy with UPPP under general anesthesia.

Methods: We interpreted CT, MRI, and (18)FDG-PET images separately, after combining the data of CT with those of (18)FDG-PET and the data of MRI with those of (18)FDG-PET. Each set of results was then compared with the histopathologic results of ipsilateral or bilateral eND in a prospective, blinded study. Results: The histopathologic examination of 594 lymph nodes revealed 4 metastases less than 4 mm in diameter and 3 micrometastases (less than 2 mm) in 6 of 17 patients. On CT, MRI, and (18)FDG-PET, respectively, 5, 5, and 0 cases were true-malignant (true positives) and 4, 10, and 1 cases were false-malignant (false positives). The accuracy was not enhanced by fusing CT with (18)FDG-PET or MRI with 18FDG-PET. Conclusions: The delectability threshold of occult metastases appears to be below the spatial and contrast resolution of CT, MRI, and 18FDG-PET. The decision for eND in patients with cT1-T2 cN0 cM0 oSCC cannot be based upon cross-sectional imaging at the resolutions currently available.

Methods: Children who received cochlear implants at less than 36 months of age were identified via chart review. Their postimplant auditory skills outcomes were measured with the Auditory Skills Checklist. Results: Of 35 children who received cochlear implants before the age of 36 months, 14 children (40%) had additional disabilities or some form of developmental delay. The 12-month postimplant data indicated progress in all groups of children. Children with additional disabilities had the same rate of auditory skills progress as children with no additional disabilities (beta = 9.3 versus 9.3; p = 0.5). However, the children with additional disabilities tended to start at a lower baseline skills set (approximately 6 points lower) on the Auditory Skills Checklist. For children with average developmental quotients (at least 80), the rate of progress was twice that of children with a developmental quotient of less than 80, irrespective of a developmental disability (beta = 9.9 versus 4.8; p = 0.03). Children with a developmental quotient of less than 80 were less likely to gain skills in discrimination and identification after the first postimplant year. Conclusions: Children with additional disabilities make progress in auditory skills, but may not develop higher auditory skills of identification and comprehension within the first 6 months after implantation. Categorizing children according to a cognitive developmental quotient may provide more predictive ability than does categorizing them by disability type.

Methods: In the TPFF group (6 ears), the pedicled TPFF that includes the superficial temporal artery and vein was raised ipsilaterally and rotated into the eradicated mastoid cavity. The tympanic membrane and external auditory canal (EAC) were reconstructed by gluing one side of the TPFF to the mucosal layer of the tympanic membrane and the reverse side of the posterior EAC skin. In the DTF group (21 ears), reconstruction was performed similarly with free DTF. The postoperative period for epithelialization of the tympanic membrane and EAC skin, postoperative complications, and reaeration in the middle ear revealed by computed tomography were reviewed in both groups. Results: In the TPFF group, the mean ( +/- SD) period to epithelialization was 25.5 +/- 2.8 days versus 38.4 +/- 12.0 days in the DTF group; the two groups differed statistically (Welch's t-test, p = 0.0002). No postoperative complications occurred in the TPFF group, whereas 2 patients in the DTF group underwent graft necrosis with infection. Three of the 6 patients in the TPFF group showed reaeration not only in the tympanic cavity, but also in the mastoid cavity. However, no statistical differences between the two groups were observed in terms of postoperative complications or reaeration of the mastoid cavity. Conclusions: Our preliminary findings suggest that the pedicled TPFF has positive effects on quick epithelialization. Further prospective studies are needed to reveal the superiority of the pedicled TPFF over free DTF with regard to postoperative infection and recovery of mastoid aeration.

TI Recovery of Potential Pathogens in the Nasopharynx of Healthy and Otitis Media-Prone Children and Their Smoking and Nonsmoking Parents SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Haemophilus influenzae; Moraxella catarrhalis; otitis media; smoking; Streptococcus pneumoniae ID INTERFERING BACTERIA; ADHERENCE; SMOKERS AB Objectives: Exposure to smoking is associated with colonization with pathogenic bacteria. This study investigated the frequency of isolation of potential pathogens in the nasopharynx of healthy and otitis media-prone (OMP) children and their smoking or nonsmoking parents. Methods: Posterior nasopharynx cultures were taken from 40 healthy and 40 OMP children and one of their parents. Twenty parents in each group were smokers. Potential pathogenic organisms were identified. Results: In the healthy children whose parents smoked, 15 potential pathogens were isolated from the parents and 13 were recovered from their children. Among the healthy children whose parents were nonsmokers, 3 potential pathogens were isolated from 2 parents (p < 0.005, compared to the parents and children in the smoking group) and 7 were recovered from their children. In the OMP children whose parents smoked, 16 potential pathogens were isolated from the parents and 19 were found in their children. Among the OMP children with nonsmoking parents, 3 potential pathogens were isolated from the parents (p < 0.001, compared to the parents and children in the OMP smoking group and the healthy children in the nonsmoking parents group) and 17 were recovered from their children. Conclusions: Parents who smoke are more often colonized with pathogens than those who do not smoke. The nasopharynx of healthy children of smokers harbors a high number of pathogens that are similar to the flora found in their parents and OMP children. Pathogenic organisms were found more often in OMP children of both smoking and nonsmoking parents, as compared to healthy children whose parents were nonsmokers. Concordance with pathogens in the parent was high among the OMP children of smoking parents, but this was not observed in the OMP children of nonsmokers.

Operative examination demonstrated a hypopharyngeal diverticulum with spinal hardware visible in a defect in the mucosa. She underwent an open cervical approach to removal of the hardware. Endoscopic staple diverticulotomy as described by Scher and Richtsmeier was performed 8 weeks later in the ambulatory surgical setting. After a period of enteral feeding via a nasogastric tube in the initial postoperative period, she was able to resume oral nutrition in the interim between the surgical procedures. After the second procedure, she was able to resume a normal diet immediately and she experienced minimal symptoms. It is established that traction diverticulum is appropriately treated by removing the inciting anatomic factor(s). We propose that staged surgical management begin with the removal of the nidus followed by marsupialization of the diverticulum pouch. Standard staple diverticulotomy is a viable option for the second stage. This technique allows the patient to minimize the length of, or avoid, the second hospitalization for diverticulum management.

Methods: Light and transmission electron microscopic observations were made. Results: Granular endoplasmic reticula and Golgi apparatuses were sparse in the cytoplasm of serous and mucous cells in cases with a short duration after radiotherapy. The secretory granules in serous cells had decreased in number. The secretory granules were less electron-dense compared to those in non-irradiated specimens, but were electron-lucent. The mucigen droplets in mucous cells were not as numerous as those in non-irradiated specimens. The discharge of secretory granules and mucigen droplets had decreased. In cases with a long duration after radiotherapy, there were some granular endoplasmic reticula and Golgi apparatuses in the cytoplasm. However, the transmission electron microscopy findings of secretory granules and mucigen droplets were the same as those in the irradiated glands with a short duration after radiotherapy. Conclusions: Morphological changes in the irradiated laryngeal glands influenced not only the amount but also the quality of secretions. The above changes lessened the lubrication of the vocal folds, thus causing a voice disorder to some extent. Local immunity and mucociliary transport were also affected. The effects of irradiation on the laryngeal glands partially altered the laryngeal functions.

Methods: We previously obtained blood samples from young children who were undergoing ambulatory surgery and reported that they had lower blood levels than adults of eicosapentaenoic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid), vitamin A, and selenium. Plasma frozen continuously at -80 degrees C was available from 16 subjects who were undergoing placement of tympanostomy tubes. Results: The mean (+/- SD) age of the patients was 3.7 +/- 1.6 years (median, 2.9 years; range, 1.9 to 7.4 years). Sixty-two percent were male; half were white, and half were Hispanic. Sixty-two percent were private patients; the parents reported that half were taking vitamin supplements. None had a history of rickets. None had 25(OH)D levels less than 10 ng/mL; 50% had 25(OH)D levels less than 20 ng/mL (deficient in adults); another 31% had levels from 21 to 29 ng/mL (insufficient in adults). Conclusions: Vitamin D is essential for the production of endogenous antimicrobial peptides, and has been linked to seasonal, epidemic influenza A. However, the level of 25(OH)D needed to prevent infection with various human pathogens has not been defined. In view of increasing bacterial resistance and emerging new pathogens, further research on the relationship of infection to 25(OH)D and other nutritional factors is warranted.

Methods: Eleven patients with advanced oral cancers (of the tongue in 8 cases and of the floor of the mouth in 3 cases) were retrospectively analyzed. One-third glossectomy and hemiglossectomy were performed in 4 patients each; the other 3 patients underwent tumor resection on the floor of the mouth. After neck dissection and tumor resection via the pull-through approach, the floor of the mouth was repaired simply by sewing the digastric muscle to the mandibular base. The surfaces of the transected musculature of the tongue and the floor of the mouth were left uncovered and exposed to the oral cavity. Results: The postoperative wound healing was fairly good in all of the patients. Neck infection or the formation of a fistula on the floor of the mouth was not seen. The patients started transoral ingestion by the 10th postoperative day. Temporary difficulty in swallowing occurred in all patients, but was totally alleviated within I month. Their clarity of speech recovered to a tolerable level. Conclusions: We believe that the digastric muscle sew-up procedure is a simple, safe, and timesaving method for the repair of small to medium-sized defects of the floor of the mouth created by ablative surgery in patients with advanced oral cancers.

Methods: In 5 pigs, the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (iSLN) and the trigeminal, pharyngeal plexus, glossopharyngeal, radial, and intercostal nerves were surgically isolated and electrically stimulated. During stimulation of each nerve, the GCR was detected by laryngeal electromyography and the GCF was measured with a pressure transducer. Results: The only nerve that elicited the GCR in the 5 pigs was the iSLN. The average GCF was 288.9 turn Hg. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the only afferent nerve that elicits the GCR in pigs is the iSLN, and that it should remain the focus of research for the rehabilitation of patients with absent or defective reflex vocal fold adduction.

TI Retrograde Labeling of the Rat Facial Nerve With Carbocyanine Dyes to Enhance Intraoperative Identification SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE DiI; DiO; Fast DiO; fluorescence; stereomicroscopy ID FLUORESCENCE-GUIDED RESECTION; FAST-BLUE; GLIOBLASTOMA-MULTIFORME; FLUOROGOLD; TRACERS; DII; SURGERY AB Objectives: Removal of head and neck neoplasms, especially those of the parotid gland and those of the internal auditory canal and cerebellopontine angle, often requires microdissection of the facial nerve. Displacement or splaying of the nerve can make it difficult to identify facial nerve fibers and/or distinguish them from surrounding tissues. Here we tested a method of labeling the facial nerve with fluorescent lipophilic dyes as a method of providing intraoperative visual confirmation of nerve fibers. Methods: The facial nerves of adult rats were retrogradely labeled with 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI), 3,3'-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate (DiO), or 3,3'-dilinoleyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate (Fast DiO) either by direct application to the nerve sheath or by microinjection into the facial muscles. The nerves were examined 30 days after dye application by means of a dissecting stereomicroscope equipped with epifluorescence filters. Results: Of the dyes tested, Fast DiO proved to be the most effective, providing labeling of the nerve sufficient to be seen with combined fluorescent and bright field stereomicroscopy. Nerve conduction studies indicated that fluorescent labeling did not adversely affect nerve function. Conclusions: These results raise the possibility of using fluorescent lipophilic dyes to label nerves as a method of enhancing identification and distinguishing nerve fibers during surgery.

Methods: We performed a retrospective case review of patients with sinocutaneous fistula. Clinical records, imaging, and operative reports were carefully examined. A complete literature review for relevant studies was performed to examine similar cases and possible pathophysiology. Results: Three patients with sinocutaneous fistula secondary to frontal sinusitis were identified. All patients underwent successful endoscopic sinus surgery with computer-assisted stereotactic localization and closure of the fistula. Conclusions: Development of sinocutaneous fistula secondary to frontal sinusitis is rare, but still occurs in the modem antibiotic era. Definitive management of this disease process requires 1) a frontal sinusotomy ensuring patency of the outflow tract and 2) fistula excision and multilayer closure.

Methods: In a prospective observational study, 47 adult Cl candidates were asked about vertigo problems on a questionnaire. A subdivision into 3 groups was done: group A (probable otogenic vertigo), group B (possible otogenic vertigo), and group C (not otogenic vertigo). Horizontal semicircular canal function was measured. Patients with vertigo complaints were compared to patients without vertigo with regard to the presence of abnormal vestibular function findings. Results: Twenty-five patients (53%) reported preoperative vertigo problems. In 21 (84%), the patient's history suggested a probable (group A) or possible (group 13) otogenic origin. Patients with vertigo more often had abnormal findings on vestibular function testing than did patients without vertigo. This difference, however, was not statistically significant. Conclusions: A considerable number of Cl candidates have preoperative vertigo symptoms. These cannot be explained by horizontal semicircular canal function alone. In order to understand why Cl patients develop postoperative vertigo, analysis of prospective preoperative vestibular function test findings and vertigo symptoms is necessary.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the sense of taste before and after middle ear surgery with a test suitable for clinical routine. Moreover, subjective complaints were assessed over a relatively long period of time. Methods: Forty-seven patients (26 female, 21 male; mean age, 42 years) were investigated before and 4 days after surgery on both sides of the anterior part of the tongue. Self-assessment of taste function was performed by visual analog scales. Results: The mean (+/- SD) taste scores significantly decreased on the side ipsilateral to the operated ear in patients with major manipulation of the CTN (12.0 +/- 4.5 before surgery and 6.9 +/- 4.5 after surgery; p < 0.001), whereas no significant changes were measured in patients with minor manipulation of the CTN (12.5 +/- 3.1 before surgery and 11.2 +/- 3.9 after surgery; p = 0.14). Self-assessed ratings of taste function significantly decreased after surgery in all patients (p < 0.001). Reassessment of subjective taste function after 2 years indicated no persisting complaints. Conclusions: Depending on the amount of manipulation of the CTN, taste function is decreased after surgery. However, long-lasting changes of gustatory function seem to be rare.

With the increased use of intubation, the incidence of laryngeal injury causing stenosis has also increased. The principal constriction point in the infant's larynx is the midcricoid area. We sought to provide detailed morphometric data on the anatomy of the cricoid cartilage and its relationship with growth and body characteristics of fetuses at 5 to 9 months of gestational age. Methods: Nineteen larynges obtained from 17 stillborn infants and 2 newborn infants ranging in gestational age from 5 to 9 months were studied. Measurements of the cricoid cartilage were made with a millimeter-graded caliper. Results: Weight was the variable most correlated with cricoid measurements. The cricoid lumen configuration showed an almost elliptic shape and did not change with gestational age. The mean inner subglottic cricoid area was 19.27 +/- 9.62 mm(2) and was related to weight and body surface area. Cricoid growth was more pronounced at the outer portion of the cartilage. Conclusions: The cricoid lumen configuration was elliptic, and its mean area was smaller than that of available endotracheal tubes. This lumen area was most influenced by weight and height.

Survivin, which is identified in most cancers and has recently been identified as an inhibitor of apoptosis, is a potential therapeutic target for cancer management. We investigated cell growth, apoptosis, and expression of survivin in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines after treatment with the bioactive compound silibinin. Methods: Cultured human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma SNU-46 cells were treated with different concentrations of silibinin, and the degree of cell growth and apoptosis was analyzed. Additionally, survivin protein and messenger RNA were analyzed by Western immunoblotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: Silibinin inhibited the growth of SNU-46 cells in a both dose- and time-dependent manner (p < 0.01). Upon fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis, silibinin (200 mu mol/L) treatment increased the proportion of apoptotic cells from 7% to 40%. At high concentrations (more than 150 mu mol/L), silibinin greatly reduced messenger RNA and protein expression of survivin. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that silibinin induced apoptosis of laryngeal squamous carcinoma cells by a mechanism involving decreased survivin expression, which suggests the possibility that silibinin may be an effective treatment of laryngeal cancers.

The current study used a combination of topical and injected mitomycin C to slow the healing process of surgical wounds in rats. Methods: An experimental model of surgical wounding at the dorsum of rats was used. A total of 43 animals were subdivided into 3 groups: control, topical mitomycin C, and a combination of topical treatment and intradermal injections of the drug at 30 and 60 days after the initial topical treatment. After 3 months, the animals were painlessly sacrificed and the surgical scars were removed for microscopic analysis. Results: The group that received only topical mitomycin C presented milder inflammatory signs and consequently had a less intense healing process than the control group. The group treated with a combination of both topical and injected mitomycin C presented results comparable to those of the control group. Conclusions: The toxic characteristics of mitomycin C were most likely responsible for the greater tissue damage that occurred when it was used in the injected form, causing increased scar tissue formation. Mitomycin C slows the healing process of surgical wounds when used topically, but causes enhanced scar tissue formation when injected.

Long-term intubation, on the other hand, may cause pressure necrosis that can extend into submucosa, perichondrium, and eventually cartilage. The sites of involvement include the medial surface of the arytenoid cartilages, vocal processes, cricoarytenoid joints, posterior glottis, and subglottis. We review the pathogenesis, endoscopic recognition, classification, and progression of intubation injuries and examine the many variables that influence them. Diagrammatic flow charts trace the acute injuries through to their chronic sequelae, including subglottic stenosis, which is commoner in infants and children, and posterior glottic stenosis, which is commoner in adults. Systematic endoscopic assessment, under general anesthesia, using rigid telescopes to evaluate laryngeal damage during intubation is recommended and critically discussed. Endoscopy permits an informed judgment with regard to continuation of intubation. Depending on the severity and depth of ulceration, intubation can be continued (sometimes with a tube of smaller diameter) or tracheotomy performed, with an awareness of the attendant risks and benefits. Unnecessary tracheotomies may be avoided. Further, it may be possible to minimize untoward outcomes of prolonged intubation by using management techniques directed at known risk factors.

We provide evidence that this novel technique is relatively safe and effective in PTA drainage. Methods: We queried otolaryngology training programs in regard to techniques of PTA drainage after receiving Institutional Review Board approval. Respondents were asked to rate their own level of success in draining PTAs, as well as the perceived satisfaction and comfort of the patient. These were rated on a scale of 1 (never successful or comfortable) to 5 (always successful or comfortable). Results: We collected 138 responses. The respondents included residents (67%), faculty (30%), and medical students (3%). The overwhelming majority of respondents placed the patient in a seated position (97%); only 4 respondents used the Trendelenberg position. On average, physicians who drained PTAs in the Trendelenberg versus the seated position had a higher success rating (5 versus 4.37) and a higher patient comfort rating (4.75 versus 3.31). Conclusions: We propose a novel PTA drainage technique in which the patient is in the Trendelenburg position. We provide evidence that our technique is rarely used in otolaryngology, and provides success rates and patient comfort levels that are greater than those of the current standard of the seated position.

Methods: The subjects comprised 40 consecutive patients (17 men, 23 women) with VS who underwent vestibular function tests before surgery and had surgically and histopathologically confirmed unilateral VS. The vestibular function tests included SVH, caloric, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) tests. Results: Of the 40 patients, 31 (77.5%) showed deviation of the SVH toward the affected side down. Especially in 8 patients (20.0%), abnormal deviation (more than 2.2 degrees) toward the affected side down was seen. None of the patients showed abnormal deviation toward the unaffected side down. On the caloric test, the proportion of absent caloric responses and the percent canal paresis in patients with an abnormal SVH was significantly higher than those in patients with a normal SVH. The proportion of abnormal VEMP responses was higher and the percent VEMP asymmetry was smaller in patients with an abnormal SVH than in patients with a normal SVH; however, the differences were not significant. Conclusions: Abnormal results on the caloric test and/or VEMP test were more frequently seen in VS patients with abnormal deviation of the SVH.

Users of cochlear implants (CIs) have reported a reduction in tinnitus following implantation for bilateral severe-to-profound deafness. This study assessed the effect of electrical stimulation via a CI on tinnitus in subjects with unilateral deafness and ipsilateral tinnitus who underwent implantation in an attempt to treat tinnitus with the CI. Methods: Twenty-one subjects who complained of severe intractable tinnitus that was unresponsive to treatment received a CI. Tinnitus loudness was measured with a Visual Analog Scale; loudness percepts were recorded with the device activated and deactivated. Tinnitus distress was measured with the Tinnitus Questionnaire before and after implantation. Results: Electrical stimulation via a CI resulted in a significant reduction in tinnitus loudness (mean +/- SD; 1 year after implantation, 2.4 +/- 1.8; 2 years after implantation, 2.5 +/- 1.9; before implantation, 8.5 +/- 1.3). With the device deactivated, tinnitus loudness was still reduced to between 6.1 and 7.0 over 24 months. The Tinnitus Questionnaire revealed a significant positive effect of CI stimulation. Conclusions: Unilateral tinnitus resulting from single-sided deafness can be treated with electrical stimulation via a CI. The outcomes of this pilot study demonstrate a new method for treatment of tinnitus in select subjects, perhaps an important new indication for cochlear implantation.

We present the case of a 26-year-old man with an aggressive ethmoid hypervascular mass invading the anterior skull base and orbit. Because of massive intraoperative bleeding and difficult dissection of the lesion from the periorbita, the planned cranioendoscopic approach had to be converted into a standard craniofacial resection by a combined Lynch and coronal incision. The definitive diagnosis was consistent with lobular capillary hemangioma associated with intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. Two years after surgery, the patient is free of disease. Lobular capillary hemangioma is a hypervascular lesion that may involve the sinonasal tract. The case presented herein is exceptional, both in the presentation and in the difficulties encountered in diagnosis and treatment, because of the concurrence of lobular capillary hemangioma and intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia.

Our objective was to determine whether dexmedetomidine hydrochloride could safely and effectively be used as the sole intravenous anesthetic agent in conjunction with local anesthesia for laryngeal framework procedures. Methods: We undertook a prospective review of 14 patients who underwent laryngeal framework surgery with dexmedetomidine anesthesia in 2004 and 2005. All dexmedetomidine doses, sedation levels, and vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation level, were recorded every 15 minutes by the anesthesiologist throughout the duration of the procedures. Operative conditions were noted by the surgeon, focusing special attention on airway protection, patient arousability, and patient comfort. Results: Dexmedetomidine sedation produced hemodynamic and respiratory values that were maintained near preoperative values, and overall pharyngeal-laryngeal integrity provided superior operating conditions for the patient and the operating surgeon. Conclusions: We believe that dexmedetomidine provides excellent sedative and operative conditions for awake laryngeal framework procedures. Coupled with local anesthesia, dexmedetomidine produced virtually no undesirable hemodynamic or respiratory effects, while allowing for adequate sedation the majority of the time. The operative conditions were markedly improved over those of previous standard monitored anesthesia regimens.

We present results from partial lesion reconstruction on the intratemporal segment of the facial nerve. Methods: A retrospective study on 42 patients who presented partial lesions on the intratemporal segment of the facial nerve was performed between 1988 and 2005. The patients were divided into 3 groups based on the procedure used: interposition of the partial graft on the injured area of the nerve (group 1; 12 patients); keeping the preserved part and performing tubulization (group 2; 8 patients); and dividing the parts of the injured nerve (proximal and distal) and placing a total graft of the sural nerve (group 3; 22 patients). Results: Fracture of the temporal bone was the most frequent cause of the lesion in all groups, followed by iatrogenic causes (p < 0.005). Those who obtained results lower than or equal to III on the House-Brackmann scale were 1 (8.3%) of the patients in group 1, none (0.0%) of the patients in group 2, and 15 (68.2%) of the patients in group 3 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The best surgical technique for therapy of a partial lesion of the facial nerve is still questionable. Among these 42 patients, the best results were those from the total graft of the facial nerve.

It has been demonstrated that administration of the medication 15 to 45 minutes before a meal optimizes acid suppression. The rate of compliance with optimal PPI dosage patterns in an otolaryngology practice is not known. We sought to determine the rate of PPI compliance in patients seen in an otolaryngology practice. Methods: We conducted an interview at a tertiary voice and swallowing center of 200 consecutive patients who were taking PPIs. Results: Overall, 54% of patients took their PPI in an optimal manner. The rate of compliance was significantly higher for patients who had their PPI prescribed by an otolaryngologist (62%) than for patients whose PPI was prescribed by a non-otolaryngologist (40%). Conclusions: Nearly half of all patients seen at a voice and swallowing center were not compliant with optimal PPI usage. This percentage is similar to that found for other long-term medications. Patient education can lead to higher rates of compliance, improved acid control, and possibly improved treatment outcomes.

Methods: We have developed a tissue scaffold made from a Marlex mesh tube covered by collagen sponge. Based on successful animal experimental studies, in situ tissue engineering with a scaffold implant was applied to repair the larynx and trachea in 4 patients. Results: In 1 patient with subglottic stenosis, the thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, and cervical trachea with scarring and a granulation were resected and reconstructed by use of the scaffold. In 3 patients with thyroid cancer, the trachea and cri coid cartilage with tumor invasion were resected and the scaffold was implanted into the defect. Postoperative endoscopy during the observation period of 8 to 34 months showed a well-epithelialized airway lumen without any obstruction. Conclusions: Our current technique of in situ tissue engineering using a scaffold shows great potential for use in the regeneration of airway defects.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE antibiotics; anticoagulation; syndrome; thrombosis ID THROMBOPHLEBITIS; THROMBOSIS AB Objectives: We wanted to describe what Lemierre's syndrome is and what risk factors may be involved, and to understand the roles, if any, of antibiotics and anticoagulants in the treatment of this syndrome. Methods: We performed a review of the pertinent literature regarding Lemierre's syndrome, as well as a review of otology, obstetrics and gynecology, and internal medicine literature looking at both anticoagulation and long-term antibiotic treatment for septic thrombosis. Results: The vast majority of patients with Lemierre's syndrome are successfully treated nonsurgically with antibiotics and, often, anticoagulation as well. Surgical intervention is reserved for those cases with persistent showering of septic emboli or continued propagation of the thrombosis. Although anticoagulation is commonly used in other specialties for similar septic thromboses, its role in Lemierre's syndrome is unclear at the present. Conclusions: Because Lemierre's syndrome is so rare, it is difficult to ascertain absolutely the need for either anticoagulation or long-term antibiotic therapy. At this time, the risks and benefits of providing either therapy must be weighed against the potential complications of incompletely treating septic thrombosis.

This is the first case report of vocal fold paresis diagnosed by high-speed imaging. An 18-year-old girl presented with intermittent voice loss that had been present for 4 years. The patient had been seen by other otolaryngologists and had been given proton pump inhibitors without any improvement in her voice. Her voice was diplophonic. The patient was examined by rigid stroboscopy and was found to have a predominantly open phase pattern but a normal vibratory pattern. High-speed photography showed a distinct vibratory frequency for each vocal fold, suggestive of a paresis pattern. Laryngeal electromyography confirmed the diagnosis of vocal fold paresis. A computed tomographic scan of the larynx and chest showed a thymoma. After thymectomy, the patient recovered full voice function. High-speed imaging is useful for the clinical evaluation of pathologic vocal fold vibration and can detect subtle features of paralysis that may not be detected on fiberoptic endoscopy and rigid stroboscopy. The additional information from high-speed imaging helped to make the diagnosis of vocal fold paresis in this patient.

We also investigated the effect of low pH with or without pepsin on mucin messenger RNA levels in vitro. Methods: Laryngeal biopsy specimens were obtained from 3 patients with clinically diagnosed laryngopharyngeal reflux and from 2 control subjects who had no signs or symptoms of reflux. Signs and symptoms were assessed by the Reflux Finding Score and the Reflux Symptom Index, respectively. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to establish the mucin gene profile. Human hypopharyngeal epithelial cells were exposed to pH 7, 5, 4, and 2 with and without pepsin (0.1 mg/mL) for 20 minutes at 37 degrees C, and expression of selected mucins was analyzed via real-time RT-PCR. Results: Mucin 1-5, 7, 9, 13, 15, 16, and 18-20 transcripts were detected in normal laryngeal epithelium, whereas mucin 6, 8, and 17 transcripts were not. Mucins 2, 3, and 5 were expressed at reduced levels in patients with reflux-attributed laryngeal injury or disease. These mucin genes were up-regulated after exposure to low pH in vitro (p < 0.005). Pepsin inhibited this up-regulation (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Reflux laryngitis is associated with down-regulation of mucin gene expression.

Methods: Bilateral vocal fold wounds were created in 40 rats. The rats were randomly assigned to I of 2 groups (sham treatment or HGF treatment) and received treatment of the injured area at the time of wounding and on alternate post-treatment days. The injured vocal fold specimens were harvested on post-treatment days 1, 3, 7, and 14. We used real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to quantify messenger RNA expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1, procollagen types I and III, hyaluronan synthase (HAS)-1, HAS-2, and HAS-3. Results: A multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant interaction between treatment group and post-treatment day for TGF-beta 1, procollagen type I, procollagen type III, and HAS-2. Post hoc testing revealed significantly lower expression of procollagen type III and significantly higher expression of HAS-2 on post-treatment day 14 in the HGF treatment group than in the sham treatment group. Conclusions: Results provide evidence of HGF treatment effects on procollagen type III and HAS-2 gene expression pathways.

Methods: Five beagles underwent stroboscopy before ablation of the left vocal fold with a carbon dioxide laser. Four weeks later, stroboscopy was repeated before and after submucosal injection of hylan B gel into the left vocal fold of 4 animals and of saline solution in 1 animal. Stroboscopy was repeated 12 weeks later, and histologic analysis was performed. Results: Four weeks after laser ablation, all animals had soft tissue defects and absence of mucosal waves. Hylan B injection restored mucosal waves, and saline injection did not. Twelve weeks after injection, hylan B-injected larynges had tissue regeneration and mucosal waves, and the saline-injected larynx had neither. Histology showed regenerated lamina propria with residual foci of hylan B in the hylan B-injected larynges and dense submucosal scar in the saline-injected animal. Conclusions: Submucosal hylan B gel injection in laser-ablated canine vocal folds restored tissue volume and mucosal waves and facilitated functional tissue regeneration over 12 weeks. Hylan B gel may have utility as a soft tissue scaffold for rehabilitation of phonatory function in vocal folds with lamina propria defects.

TI Imaging case study of the month traumatic pneumolabyrinth SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE computed tomography; pneumolabyrinth; temporal bone trauma ID TEMPORAL BONE-FRACTURE; SIGN AB Pneumolabyrinth is a condition in which air is present in the vestibule and/or in the cochlea. Air inside the inner ear structures is uncommon, and is not detected even in otic capsule-violating fractures or in transverse fractures of the temporal bone. It is rarely described in the literature. We present a longitudinal computed tomography (CT) study of a significant pneumolabyrinth due to temporal bone trauma in a 31-year-old man. Routine CT of the cranium performed 3 hours after the accident showed air inside the vestibule (pneumolabyrinth). Two days later, a new CT study was performed. The air in the vestibule was partially resorbed. There was opacity over the oval window niche and the promontory. Thirteen months after the initial head trauma, another CT examination showed a fracture line running from the vestibule to the posterior wall of the petrous bone. The patient had profound sensorineural hearing loss after the trauma, and the pneumolabyrinth cleared over a few months. Surgical treatment was not indicated.

Methods: Respiratory patterns during serial speech tasks (counting, days of the week) with an electrolarynx were prospectively studied by inductance plethysmography in 6 individuals across their first I to 2 years after total laryngectomy, as well as in an additional 8 individuals who had had a laryngectomy at least I year earlier. Results: In contrast to normal speech that is only produced during exhalation, all individuals were found to engage in inhalation during speech production, and those studied longitudinally displayed increased occurrences of inhalation during speech production with time after laryngectomy. These trends appear to be stronger for individuals who used an electrolarynx as their primary means of oral communication rather than tracheoesophageal speech, possibly because of continued dependence on respiratory support for the production of tracheoesophageal speech. Conclusions: Our results indicate that there are post-laryngectomy changes in the speech breathing behaviors of electrolarynx users. This has implications for designing improved electrolarynx communication systems, which could use signals derived from respiratory function as one of many potential physiologically based sources for more natural control of electrolarynx speech.

We sought to describe the clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes of nonsmoking patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Methods: Of 1,443 patients treated for laryngeal carcinoma between 1960 and 2006, 55 (3.8%) were nonsmokers: 40 (73%) had never smoked and 15 (27%) had stopped smoking 12 years or more before diagnosis. Patient characteristics and outcomes were reviewed. Results: The study group consisted of 87% men; the mean age at diagnosis was 67 years. All lesions but one were located in the glottis. The 5-year survival rate for the whole group was 85%. Most tumors were detected early. Of 38 patients (69%) with stage T1 disease, there was no significant difference in prognostic features between those who had never smoked and those who had smoked in the past. Conclusions: Fewer than 5% of patients with laryngeal carcinoma were nonsmokers. Like smokers, this subgroup was characterized by a male predominance and an approximate age at diagnosis in the seventh decade. Unlike smokers, nonsmokers show a greater predilection for glottic rather than supraglottic disease. There was no difference in prognosis between smokers and nonsmokers, regardless of whether they had smoked in the past.

Methods: The severity of the stapedial otosclerotic lesion and the degree of narrowing of the oval window niche by exostoses were recorded for each ear of 269 patients who elected to undergo operation on the second ear. The severities and similarities of the otosclerotic lesion affecting the oval window niche were compared between the ears. Results: The majority of oval window niches were normal in width in both ears. A niche narrowed to less than 0.8 mm in diameter was rare and tended to affect both ears (5.6% first ears and 5.95% second ears; chi(2) = 134.6 on 4 df, p < .0001). The degree of footplate otosclerosis was classified and amalgamated into 3 broad categories: minor (47.2%), moderate (21.6%), and severe (31.2%). A high degree of bilateral symmetry of the stapedial footplate lesion was found (chi(2) = 162.2 on 4 df, significant at .0001 level). Conclusions: The findings at the oval window of the first ear in regard to the severity of otosclerotic involvement of the stapes footplate and narrowing of the niche by exostoses do allow a fair prediction of the pathological findings in the second ear, if that ear is suitable for stapes surgery and the patient elects to have an operation. The surgeon is forewarned of possible difficulties and technical challenges if an operation has been performed on the first ear.

Methods: In the period 1995 to 2004, 17 patients with severe aspiration caused by insufficient laryngeal elevation and absent or negligible pharyngeal constrictor muscle activity during deglutition resulting in aspiration pneumonia were surgically treated with a laryngeal suspension procedure and UES myotomy. Preoperative and postoperative video-fluoroscopy was performed to assess swallowing and aspiration. Results: In 9 of the 17 patients, long-term (more than 1 year) full oral intake without aspiration was achieved. Three other patients demonstrated improvement of deglutition with partial restoration of oral intake with adjusted food consistency, but remained partly dependent on gastrostomy feeding for adequate nutrition. Two patients no longer had cases of aspiration pneumonia, but were unable to achieve even modified oral intake. Three patients finally underwent total laryngectomy - 2 of them after initial successful full oral intake without aspiration but with recurrent aspiration as a result of progression of neuromuscular disease. None of the patients succumbed to aspiration pneumonia. Conclusions: In most of our patients, life-threatening aspiration was successfully treated by UES myotomy and laryngeal suspension with restoration of oral intake.

Methods: The charts of 6 consecutive patients submitted to reconstruction of intraoral defects using the pedicled temporoparietal galeal flap were reviewed. All of the defects were located in the posterior oral cavity and oropharynx. After resection of the oral cancer, the temporoparietal galeal flap, based on the superficial temporal vessels, was raised and transposed to the mouth through a tunnel under the zygomatic arch. The oral defect was repaired, and no skin graft was applied over the flap. Results: There were no flap losses, and the reconstructive goal was achieved in all cases. The patients' deglutition and phonation abilities were restored, and the donor site scars were well hidden by hair growth. Conclusions: The pedicled temporoparietal galeal flap is another option for selected cases of reconstruction of intraoral defects - mainly those located in the posterior oral cavity and oropharynx, in which thin and pliable tissues are usually required.

TI Endoscopic removal of a giant fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 87th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE benign tumor; endoscopic management; esophageal mass; esophagus; giant fibrovascular polyp; polyp ID HYPOPHARYNX AB Objectives: Giant fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus are rare benign tumors originating from the proximal esophagus. These pedunculated lesions can grow to "giant" proportions. Asphyxiation from aspiration of the regurgitated polyp is a well-described cause of death. Traditional excision has involved a transcervical vertical esophagotomy. This report describes the successful endoscopic removal of a giant fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus. Results: A 63-year-old man with dwarfism and obstructive sleep apnea was referred for evaluation of an esophageal mass that was intermittently regurgitated into the hypopharynx. Office esophagoscopy demonstrated a 10-cm giant fibrovascular polyp originating just below the cricoid cartilage. During endoscopic removal, the base of the lesion was exposed with a Weerda bivalved laryngoscope. Bipolar cautery combined with a snare was used to transect the base with excellent hemostasis. No esophageal leak was noted on an esophagogram on postoperative day 3. The patient then resumed a liquid diet and was discharged home, resuming a regular diet within a week. Conclusions: Giant fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus are life-threatening because of potential airway obstruction. This report describes the successful endoscopic removal of a giant fibrovascular polyp, avoiding the potential morbidity associated with a transcervical vertical esophagotomy.

Traditionally, clinicopathologic evidence has been the gold standard used to distinguish distant metastasis from second primary tumors. We report a case in which loss of heterozygosity testing was used to clarify the clonal relationship between the 2 sites of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A patient with squamous cell carcinoma in the larynx and mandible underwent loss of heterozygosity testing. Results: The loss of heterozygosity testing confirmed that the mandibular cancer was a metastatic presentation of the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusions: We conclude that loss of heterozygosity testing can be useful in differentiating distant metastasis from second primary cancers in patients with 2 sites of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, consequently providing important prognostic and staging information.

Patients with persistent RLN paresis may be asymptomatic because of compensation from the opposite side. If such patients undergo an opposite-side anterior approach for revision surgery, they are at risk for a second RLN injury, creating the potential for bilateral vocal fold paresis and possible need for tracheotomy. A program of routine screening for laryngeal paresis was implemented for these patients. This retrospective study reviews the results of this screening process. Methods: Patients referred for preoperative laryngeal nerve screening were identified. Their charts were reviewed for the results of the videolaryngoscopic examination, and for any recommendations made based on the findings. Relevant history and other physical findings were recorded. Results: Fifty screening laryngeal examinations were performed in 47 patients, of whom 31 (66%) had previously undergone a single anterior cervical approach procedure, and 16 (34%) had undergone more than one. Thirteen of the examinations (26%) revealed abnormal laryngeal findings, including paresis or paralysis in 11 cases (22%), of which 5 were asymptomatic. The findings resulted in a recommendation of a cervical approach from the already-involved side. None of the revision procedures resulted in bilateral vocal fold paralysis. The risk of laryngeal nerve injury appears to increase as higher cervical levels are approached. Conclusions: Minimally symptomatic injuries of the laryngeal nerves from prior neck surgery create a potential serious risk of bilateral vocal fold paralysis with subsequent procedures. Preoperative laryngeal screening is a simple and effective method for reducing this risk.

Methods: Thirty rabbits were involved in this study. Five animals were assigned to each time period. Noninjured vocal fold specimens were collected as a control. Gene expression was analyzed at 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours after injury by use of real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Compared to 2 hours after injury, MMP-1 expression was increased at 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Compared to 4 hours, MMP-1 expression was increased at 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Compared to the control specimens, MMP-9 expression was increased at 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Compared to 2 hours, MMP-9 expression was increased at 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Compared to 2 and 4 hours, collagen type I expression was increased at 72 hours. Collagen type III expression was increased at 72 hours compared to 2, 4, and 8 hours. Compared to 2 hours, fibronectin expression was increased at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Conclusions: Results revealed time-dependent changes in expression of MMP-1, MMP-9, collagen types I and III, and fibronectin from rabbit vocal folds after injury. Future experiments are planned to investigate the effects of phonation on expression of these genes after injury.

Methods: Ten 200- to 250-g Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a controlled crush injury to the left RLN performed with 60 seconds of use of a calibrated aneurysm clamp with a closing force of 0.61 N. Serial ToL bipolar EMG was performed on adductor muscles and the posterior criocoarytenoid muscle during spontaneous vocal fold motion under anesthesia. Each animal underwent ToL EMG immediately after surgery and 1, 3, and 6 weeks after surgery. Results: The EMG signals showed normal motor unit potentials and recruitment patterns 3 weeks after crush injury. Endoscopic evaluation of vocal fold mobility yielded consistently normal findings 6 weeks after crush injury. Conclusions: We have developed a standardized method of crush injury to the rat RLN model and a minimally invasive transoral bipolar spontaneous EMG technique to serially evaluate and follow nerve injury and recovery in rats. This model is intended to simulate intraoperative RLN injury, to elucidate the electrophysioiogical events that occur during nerve recovery, and to form the basis for studying agents to enhance such recovery.

Methods: Marlex mesh tube reinforced with polypropylene threads and covered by collagen sponge was used as a tissue scaffold for airway regeneration in 9 beagle dogs. The anterior half of the cricoid cartilage was resected in 5 dogs, whereas the cricoid cartilage and cervical trachea were simultaneously resected in 4 dogs. The tissue scaffold was implanted into the resultant defect. Results: Endoscopic examination showed no airway obstruction for a postoperative period of 3 to 40 months in all dogs. Granulation tissue was observed in 2 dogs, and slight mesh exposure in 1 dog, although all were asymptomatic. Light microscopy and electron microscopy showed the endolaryngeal and endotracheal lumen to be covered by ciliated epithelium. According to strain-force measurement, the framework was firmly supported by regenerated tissue, as well as the normal cricoid and trachea. Conclusions: Our current tissue scaffold provides a rigid framework for the airway, and the collagen coating invites tissue regrowth around the tube. This study presents the possibility of successful reconstruction of the cricoid and trachea with epithelial regeneration by means of in situ tissue engineering.

Tracheostomy remains the consistently reproducible and accepted method to salvage the airway obstruction in BLP. The bypass, however, acknowledges the current lack of knowledge and consensus on the pathogenesis. Methods: I performed a retrospective chart review of BLP cases treated with BTA in a tertiary care pediatric center. The injections were performed under direct vision through an open transcervical approach. The main outcome measures used were improvement of airway symptoms and endoscopic findings, tracheostomy requirement, and incidence of recovery of function. Results: In total, 24 patients with BLP were identified. Over a 2-year period, 7 patients were treated with BTA. Six patients had congenital idiopathic BLP. One of these had trisomy 7. One patient acquired the paralysis after cardiac surgery. No patients required a tracheostomy, except for the infant with trisomy 7. Six patients recovered function completely, and the seventh recovered it partially (range, 4 weeks to 12 months). Conclusions: Injection of BTA into external laryngeal muscles may be an alternative to tracheostomy in BLP. It is proposed that the toxin relaxes the glottic aperture by paralyzing the cricothyroid and strap muscles and that it may aid in appropriate reinnervation of the larynx via mechanisms beyond the neuromuscular junction.

Of interest was whether the smaller and more closely spaced channels could provide sufficient channel redundancy, controlled current distribution, and discrete activation of the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle. Methods: A study was conducted in dogs under differing states of PCA muscle innervation representing complete denervation to complete synkinetic reinnervation. In 3 animals, stimulated glottal opening was assessed in the innervated state and after chemical denervation by pancuronium bromide. In 3 additional dogs, the left side of the larynx was surgically denervated and compared to the innervated, right side to study an anatomic model of clinical paralysis. Results: The thresholds were lower and the maximum level of abduction was greater for the innervated state. The stimulated glottal opening equaled that of a spontaneously breathing animal. Abductory responses were obtained across all channels in the array, demonstrating its anatomic and physiological compatibility for this application. In the denervated state, responses were only 20% of that of the innervated state with a pulse duration of 0.5 ms. The response could be enhanced to 40% and 60% by increasing the pulse duration to 1 and 2 ms. Conclusions: A deep brain stimulation electrode could effectively reanimate the PCA muscle to a normal level in a case of synkinetic reinnervation and to as much as 60% of the normal level in a case of complete denervation.

However, which cytokines play an essential role in the MCM of OM is not clear at the moment. Methods: In this study, we hypothesized that interieukin-10 (IL-10) played an indispensable role in the MCM of bacterial OM, and we used IL-10 knockout mice to test this hypothesis. Results: In wild-type mice, both Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae triggered the development of MCM in the middle ear mucosa. In IL-10 knockout mice, the number of goblet cells and mucin-producing cells in the middle ear was significantly reduced after bacterial middle ear infection compared with that in wild-type mice. Conclusions: We conclude that IL-10 plays an essential role in the MCM of bacterial OM. Interleukin-10 is a potential target for the treatment of MCM in OM.

The putative mechanism of action is selective photoangiolysis of the sublesional microcirculation. On the basis of this experience, early glottic cancers were treated by selectively targeting the intralesional and sublesional microvasculature. This approach was derived from Folk-man's concepts of neoplastic growth resulting from tumor angiogenesis. Staged microlaryngeal treatment was adopted, because it facilitated optimal functional results, and was considered safe, because early glottic cancer rarely metastasizes. Furthermore, intercurrent disease during conventional incremental radiotherapy is typical in treating early glottic cancer. A pilot group of 22 patients with early glottic cancer (13 T1, 9 T2) were treated with a fiber-based angiolytic laser. Eleven of the 22 had unilateral disease and were entirely treated by laser photoangiolysis as a sole modality. Eleven of the 22 had bilateral disease; 5 of the 11 were treated entirely (bilaterally) by laser photoangiolysis, and 6 of the 11 only underwent laser treatment of the less involved vocal fold, with conventional resection being done on the dominant side of the cancer. The initial 8 of the 22 were treated with the PDL, and the latter 14 of the 22 were treated with the pulsed KTP laser. No patient has cancer presently, and none have undergone posttreatment radiotherapy or open surgery. The mean follow-up is 27 months, 13 of the 22 patients have at least 2 years of follow-up, and the first patient was treated just over 5 years ago. Objective measures of vocal function revealed that photoangiolytic treatment of early glottic cancer resulted in significant postoperative improvements despite the fact that half of the patients had bilateral disease. Angiolytic lasers effectively involuted early glottic cancer, with microsurgically directed nonionizing radiation of the dense neoplastic blood supply resulting in complete tumor regression. This approach is conceptually attractive, because it is repeatable, it preserves all conventional cancer treatment options, and it results in excellent vocal function by improving phonatory mucosal wave vibration. Observations from this investigation suggest that this new and novel cancer treatment strategy is effective; however, larger patient cohorts, longer follow-up, and multi-institutional confirmation will be necessary to establish incontrovertible oncological efficacy.

Although results of case series suggest that cidofovir may decrease the frequency and rapidity of papilloma regrowth, no blinded placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated efficacy. Methods: Adults and children (n = 19) with aggressive RRP received either active drug (cidofovir) or placebo. When surgical intervention was needed, drug or placebo was injected into affected areas after surgical removal of disease. The following measures were made at baseline and at 2-month intervals for the course of 12 months: Derkay papilloma severity grading scale, Voice Handicap Index, Health-Related Quality of Life, and total number of procedures performed over 12 months. Results: At 2- and 12-month follow-ups, there was a significant (p <.05) improvement in the Derkay Severity Score within the cidofovir and placebo groups, but no difference between groups, and no difference between groups in the number of procedures performed. Significant improvement was found in Voice Handicap Index scores in the cidofovir group at the 12-month follow-up. No differences were seen in Health-Related Quality of Life. Conclusions: A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial is necessary in the study of RRP, because the natural history of the disease can include remissions and reactivations. We found a significant improvement in the Derkay Severity Score 12 months after the baseline assessment in patients treated with cidofovir. This effect, however, was also seen in the placebo group. Accordingly, we were unable to provide proof of efficacy of cidofovir in the treatment of RRP. C1 [McMurray, J.

Methods: Three healthy subjects' larynges were examined with an endoscopic high-speed imaging system at 4 different levels of vocal load. Vocal fold dynamics were segmented and processed by PVGs. The PVG images were quantitatively described by a parameter set enabling an individual characterization of vocal fold dynamics. To reveal differences between the subjects, we performed a linear discrimination analysis. Within each subject, the identification of vocal loading effects was performed by statistical analysis (1-way analysis of variance), and 2-tailed paired t-tests were used as a consistency check between left and right vocal fold sides. Results: For each subject, the PVG analysis enabled a precise quantification of the entire range of vocal fold dynamics. Independently of the high-speed videos (vocal loads), each subject could be identified by his or her PVG parameters on linear discrimination analysis. In all subjects, the effect of vocal loading was reflected by alterations of PVG parameters representing the posterior opening and closing dynamics. Evaluation within subjects revealed slight asymmetric vibratory behavior between the left and right vocal folds, confirming earlier assumptions. Conclusions: Within the investigated subjects, vocal loading does affect the vibratory characteristics of the vocal folds. Left-right vocal fold vibratory asymmetries do occur in healthy voices and can be identified by PVGs. High-speed digital imaging in combination with PVG analysis seems to be a promising tool for investigation of vocal fold fatigue and disorders resulting even from small dynamic changes.

Methods: Pure tone threshold data of 23 Wolfram syndrome patients were used for cross-sectional analysis in subgroups (age less than 16 years or between 19 and 25 years, gender, and origin). Results: All subgroups, with I exception, showed a fairly similar type of hearing impairment with, on average, thresholds of about 25 dB (range, 0 to 65 dB) at 0.25 to 1 kHz, gently sloping downward to about 60 dB (range, 25 to 95 dB) at 8 kHz. The subgroup of Dutch women, which was excluded from the calculations of the average hearing thresholds, showed a higher degree of hearing impairment. Only the latter subgroup showed progression; however, contrary to the previous longitudinal analysis, progression was not significant in the present cross-sectional analysis, presumably because of the high degree of cross-subject variability. Conclusions: This unique collection of audiometric data from genotyped Wolfram syndrome patients shows no substantial progression in sensorineural hearing impairment with advancing age, no relation to the types of WFS1 mutations identified, and, with exclusion of the subgroup of Dutch female patients, no significant sex-related differences.

TI Effect of changing airway pressure on the ability of the human nose to warm and humidify air SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE continuous positive airway pressure; temperature; water content ID OBSTRUCTIVE-SLEEP-APNEA; MOUTH LEAK; NASAL; THERAPY; RESISTANCE; TRIAL; CPAP AB Objectives: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment causes nasal symptoms that are believed to result from the drying effects of the air on the nasal mucosa, and these symptoms affect compliance with therapy. We hypothesized that the increased air pressure on the nasal mucosa caused by positive pressure from CPAP would decrease the ability of the nose to warm and humidify inspired air, explaining these symptoms. Methods: We performed a 4-way crossover trial using CPAP pressures of -5,0, +5, and +10 cm H2O in 10 subjects. The ability to warm and humidify inspired air was determined by measurement of the temperature of a fixed volume of cold, dry air entering and exiting the nostril and calculation of the amount of water supplied to the airstream by the nose. Results: The water content of air was unaffected at the pressures studied. Conclusions: The pressure of delivered CPAP does not affect the ability of the nose to warm and humidify inspired air.

We present a case of severe dysphagia secondary to idiopathic tongue base hypertrophy that was treated with coblation lingual tonsillectomy and tongue base reduction. Methods: We report a case and discuss the relevant literature regarding tongue base hypertrophy and surgical interventions to treat the enlarged base of the tongue. Results: Symptoms of dysphagia and globus sensation and signs of decreased epiglottic inversion and laryngeal penetration improved markedly after surgical reduction of hypertrophied lingual tonsillar tissue using coblation. Preoperative and postoperative clinical imaging and radiographs are presented to show the reduction of tongue base size, correlated with the patient's improved clinical function. Conclusions: Coblation-assisted lingual tonsillectomy and tongue base reduction can successfully treat dysphagia secondary to tongue base hypertrophy.

This approach may disrupt normal tissue, induce scarring, and allow extrusion of implanted materials. Previously reported external approaches to Reinke's space required either a laryngofissure or a "minithyrotomy" for access. These surgical approaches were performed without direct imaging of Reinke's space. Instruments placed below the vocal fold epithelium via this external approach were visualized through the translucent vocal fold epithelium. We designed this study to identify the feasibility of limited-access surgery of the lamina propria using microendoscopes placed into Reinke's space through an external approach. Methods: A cadaveric human larynx was dissected, and microendoscopes were directly advanced into Reinke's space through a subepithelial puncture of the cricothyroid membrane, as well as lateral fenestration through the thyroid cartilage. Results: Photodocumentation of the undersurface of vocal fold epithelium, the opposing surface of the vocal ligament, and the intervening Reinke's space was successfully accomplished. Conclusions: Advances in both microendoscopes and accompanying instrumentation permit access to the superficial layer of the lamina propria without disrupting the overlying epithelium. This approach to microendoscopy of Reinke's space may allow for more effective surgical treatment of cysts; chronic edema, vascular abnormalities, atrophy, scarring, and sulcus vocalis.

Methods: I retrospectively reviewed the clinical symptom scores according to the Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory (RSI), the radiographic findings, and the histopathologic findings in the paranasal sinus mucosa for a consecutive series of adult patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for CRS. Linear regression analysis was conducted for the relationship between tissue pathology inflammatory severity score graded on a 5-point Likert scale and the RSI symptom domains. A similar analysis was conducted for the relationship between the pathology inflammatory score and the total Lund score. Results: The study cohort consisted of 115 adult patients (mean age, 40.2 years). The mean Lund score for the cohort was 8.8 (95% confidence interval, 7.9 to 9.7), and the mean pathology severity score was 2.1 (median, 2.0). The mean total symptom score for the overall cohort was 41.3; the mean total symptom scores for pathology severity grades 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 25.0, 43.8, 41.8, 42.4, and 32.8, respectively. No significant association could be identified between pathology severity and any of the 5 RSI symptom domains (nasal, facial, oropharyngeal, systemic, and total symptoms; all p >.436, linear regression). A statistically significant relationship between total Lund score and pathology severity was identified (p <.001). Conclusions: Poor correlation exists between the histopathologic severity of sinonasal inflammation and self-reported symptom scores in CRS. Histopathologic inflammatory grade alone fails to stratify CRS cases according to disease symptom severity. Histopathologic inflammation and computed tomographic findings con-elate strongly.

In this study, objective evaluation of vocal function in women with hypothyroidism was performed in order to characterize potential dysphonia; their subsequent response to thyroid hormone replacement was prospectively studied. It was hypothesized that thyroid hormone replacement therapy in this cohort would have an objectively measurable impact on vocal function. Methods: Prospective evaluation of objective voice parameters and concurrent determination of serum thyroid status was executed both before and after thyroid hormone replacement in a cohort of patients who had had total thyroidectomy. Objective voice parameters before and after treatment were compared. Results: Twenty-four female subjects were recruited over an 18-month period. After surgery, all subjects were hypothyroid (mean thyroid-stimulating hormone level, 81.38 mIU/L; range, 25.26 to 100.00 mIU/L) before replacement. After hormone therapy, their mean thyroid-stimulating hormone level dropped to 1.20 mIU/L (range, 0.28 to 3.83 mIU/L). The mean fundamental frequency significantly increased from a pretreatment average of 223.48 +/- 36.10 Hz to 237.64 +/- 38.81 Hz. Other measured voice parameters (jitter, shimmer, amplitude perturbation quotient, pitch perturbation quotient, noise-to-harmonics ratio, and maximum phonation time) were not affected. Conclusions: Thyroid hormone replacement therapy following total thyroidectomy has a measurable impact on mean fundamental frequency in female patients. The mechanism of this effect is not known.

We sought to analyze and determine risk factors for success or failure of endoscopic diverticulum treatment. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 72 consecutive patients who underwent attempted endoscopic management of a Zenker's diverticulum between January 2000 and April 2006. The procedures were performed by either of 2 otolaryngologists. There were 50 men and 22 women ranging in age from 44 to 93 years. A total of 85 procedures were performed. The medical records were reviewed for preoperative diverticulum size (small, 1 to 2 cm; moderate, 2.1 to 3.0 cm; and large, more than 3.0 cm), intraoperative diverticulum characteristics, patient anatomic limitations that prevented adequate endoscopic visualization, surgical complications, and management of recurrences. Results: Of our 72 patients, 61 (85%) were able to undergo endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy with diverticulum elimination. Of the 61 endoscopic procedures, 47 (77%) resulted in complete symptom resolution. The most common risk factors for recurrence were diverticulum size (more than 3 cm) and amount of redundant mucosa. Of the 14 patients with a recurrence, 10 (71%) underwent a repeat procedure. Six of the 14 (43%) had a successful excision via a cervical approach, and 4 of the 14 (29%) underwent a repeat endoscopic myotomy. There was I major complication (esophageal tear), and there were 3 minor complications (mucosal abrasions). Conclusions: Most patients with a Zenker's diverticulum are good candidates for endoscopic management. In our series, 84% of those who underwent endoscopic treatment ultimately achieved relief of symptoms. The patient morbidity is minimal. A large diverticulum with redundant mucosa is a risk factor for recurrence after endoscopic treatment.

TI Optical coherence tomography-enhanced microlaryngoscopy: Preliminary report of a noncontact optical coherence tomography system integrated with a surgical microscope SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 127th Annual Meeting of the American-Laryngological-Association CY MAY 19-20, 2006 CL Chicago, IL SP Amer Laryngol Assoc DE laryngeal imaging; laryngoscopy; larynx; optical coherence tomography; vocal cord; vocal fold ID IN-VIVO; VOCAL FOLD; BLOOD-FLOW; HUMAN SKIN; MUCOSA; AIRWAY; VELOCITY; CANCER AB Objectives: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new imaging modality that uses near-infrared light to produce cross-sectional images of tissue with a resolution approaching that of light microscopy. We have previously reported use of OCT imaging of the vocal folds (VFs) during direct laryngoscopy with a probe held in contact or near-contact with the VFs. This aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a novel OCT system integrated with a surgical microscope to allow hands-free OCT imaging of the VFs, which could be performed simultaneously with microscopic visualization. Methods: We performed a prospective evaluation of a new method of acquiring OCT images of the VFs. Results: An OCT system was successfully integrated with a surgical microscope to permit noncontact OCT imaging of the VFs of 10 patients. With this novel device we were able to identify VF epithelium and lamina propria; however, the resolution was reduced compared to that achieved with the standard contact or near-contact OCT. Conclusions: Optical coherence tomography is able to produce high-resolution images of vocal fold mucosa to a maximum depth of 1.6 mm. It may be used in the diagnosis of VF lesions, particularly early squamous cell carcinoma, in which OCT can show disruption of the basement membrane. Mounting the OCT device directly onto the operating microscope allows hands-free noncontact OCT imaging and simultaneous conventional microscopic visualization of the VFs. However, the lateral resolution of the OCT microscope system is 50 pm, in contrast to the conventional handheld probe system (10 mu m). Although such images at this resolution are still useful clinically, improved resolution would enhance the system's performance, potentially enabling real-time OCT-guided microsurgery of the larynx.

The sensitivities of the PTF and the phonation threshold pressure (PTP) were quantitatively compared to the percent of vocal fold elongation from physiologic length. Methods: Ten excised canine larynges were mounted on a bench apparatus capable of controlling vocal fold elongation. Subglottal airflow was gradually increased until the onset of phonation. Elongation of the vocal folds was varied from +0% (physiologic length) to +15%, and the PTF and PTP were measured. Results: The mean PTFs at physiologic vocal fold length ranged from 101 to 217 mL/s. No statistically significant relationship was found to exist between the size of the larynx and the measured PTF values (p =.404). The average percent change of PTF compared to the magnitude of elongation was found to be statistically significant (p <.001). The data indicated that the PTF was proportional to the percent of vocal fold elongation. Conclusions: The PTF was positively correlated with vocal fold elongation and the PTP for small magnitudes of elongation. The results suggest that the PTF may be indicative of the biomechanical properties of the vocal folds, thus providing a possibly valuable tool in the clinical evaluation of laryngeal function.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE bimodal fitting; child; cochlear implant; hearing aid ID BIMODAL STIMULATION; BENEFITS; SPEECH AB Objectives: To predict bimodal benefit before cochlear implantation, we compared the performances of participants with bimodal fitting and with a cochlear implant alone on speech perception tests. Methods: Twenty-two children with a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other (bimodal fitting) were included. Several aided and unaided average hearing thresholds and the aided word recognition score of the hearing aid ear were related to the bimodal benefit on a phoneme recognition test in quiet and in noise. Results with bimodal fitting were compared to results with the cochlear implant alone on a phoneme recognition test in quiet and in noise. Results: No relationship was found between any of the hearing thresholds or the aided phoneme recognition score of the hearing aid ear and the bimodal benefit on the phoneme recognition tests. At the group level, the bimodal scores on the phoneme recognition tests in quiet and in noise were significantly better than the scores with the cochlear implant alone. Conclusions: Preoperatively available audiometric parameters are not reliable predictors of bimodal benefit in candidates for cochlear implantation. Children with unilateral implants benefit from bimodal fitting on speech tests. This improvement in performance warrants the recommendation of bimodal fitting even when bimodal benefit cannot be predicted. C1 [Beijen, Jan-Willem; Mylanus, Emmanuel A. M.; Snik, Ad F.

TI Qualification of a quantitative laryngeal imaging system using videostroboscopy and videokymography SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE endoscope; glottal width; laser; videokymography; videostroboscopy; vocal fold AB Objectives: We sought to determine whether full-cycle glottal width measurements could be obtained with a quantitative laryngeal imaging system using videostroboscopy, and whether glottal width and vocal fold length measurements were repeatable and reliable. Methods: Synthetic vocal folds were phonated on a laboratory bench, and dynamic images were obtained in repeated trials by use of videostroboscopy and videokymography (VKG) with an imaging system equipped with a 2-point laser projection device for measuring absolute dimensions. Video images were also obtained with an industrial videoscope system with a built-in laser measurement capability. Maximum glottal width and vocal fold length were compared among these 3 methods. Results: The average variation in maximum glottal width measurements between stroboscopic data and VKG data was 3.10%. The average variations in width measurements between the clinical system and the industrial system were 1.93% (stroboscopy) and 3.49% (VKG). The variations in vocal fold length were similarly small. The standard deviations across trials were 0.29 mm for width and 0.48 mm for length (stroboscopy), 0.18 mm for width (VKG), and 0.25 mm for width and 0.84 mm for length (industrial). Conclusions: For stable, periodic vibration, the full extent of the glottal width can be reliably measured with the quantitative videostroboscopy system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of HSDI compared to that of stroboscopy across 3 disorder groups classified as epithelial, subepithelial, and neurologic disorders. Methods: Judgments of vibratory features of vocal fold edge, glottal closure, phase closure, vertical level, vibratory amplitude, mucosal wave, phase symmetry, tissue pliability, and glottal cycle periodicity from 252 participants were performed by 3 experienced raters. Results: The results revealed that 63% of the data set was noninterpretable for assessment of vibratory function on stroboscopic analysis because of the severity of the voice disorder (100% of participants with severe voice disorders and 64% of participants with moderate voice disorders), whereas HSDI resulted in analysis of 100% of the data. The neuromuscular group (74%) was the most difficult to analyze with stroboscopy, followed by the epithelial (58%) and subepithelial groups (53%), secondary to the severity of hoarseness. Conclusions: Because it is desirable in clinical examination to observe vocal fold vibrations, which cannot be done in cases of severe dysphonia, HSDI may aid in clinical decision-making when patients exhibit values exceeding 0.87% jitter, 4.4% shimmer, and a signal-to-noise ratio of less than 15.4 dB on acoustic analysis. These measures could serve as minimal indications for use of HSDI. The data suggest that HSDI can be viewed as augmentative to stroboscopy, particularly in cases of moderate to severe aperiodicity, in which HSDI may aid clinical decision-making.

Method: Fifty consecutive children 2 to 12 years of age with nasal obstruction were examined from May to October 2005. Adenoid size and status of the eustachian tube orifice were assessed with nasal flexible fiberoptic endoscopy. Tympanometry was used to evaluate the middle ear. Results: In children with occlusion of the eustachian tube orifice by adenoid tissue, 87% had abnormal pressure in the middle ear according to tympanograms. When orifices were not occluded, 86% of the tympanograms were normal (p < .001). Conclusions: Obstruction of the eustachian tube orifice by adenoid tissue was associated with tympanograms suggestive of abnormal pressure in the middle ear. Future studies with a larger sample size are necessary to clarify this association.

It is hypothesized that laryngeal collagen injection could improve phonation following arytenoid adduction in selected patients. Our objective was to evaluate how collagen injection could result in measurable improvements in vocal function and voice quality. Methods: Forty patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis who had undergone arytenoid adduction underwent transoral injection of non-cross-linked bovine dermal collagen by means of indirect laryngoscopy and a curved injection device. A control group of 40 patients underwent arytenoid adduction but not collagen injection. The patients' voice quality was assessed perceptually with the GRBAS scale, and vocal function was assessed by acoustic and aerodynamic measures (maximum phonation time and transglottal DC flow). The relative glottal area was also assessed by videostroboscopy. Results: Significant improvements in vocal function and voice quality were observed with collagen injection for those patients who did not achieve satisfactory glottal competence with arytenoid adduction alone. Glottal area measurements revealed that glottic insufficiency was significantly reduced after arytenoid adduction as well as after collagen injection. Conclusions: The findings suggest that collagen injection could be an effective supplementary treatment for improving voice following arytenoid adduction. It has the advantage of being a minimally invasive outpatient office procedure. The long-term efficacy of the procedure should be explored.

In 1999, Gray et al described the "minithyrotomy" approach to this region. Technical aspects of this important new technique, clinical indications, and early results are reviewed. Methods: We performed a retrospective review and compiled the data of the office records, clinical notes, and videostroboscopic examinations of all of the four authors' patients who underwent this procedure. Results: Twenty-one patients underwent 22 minithyrotomy procedures for vocal fold scarring (6), lateralizing scar following polytetrafluoroethylene removal or trauma (5), scar with radiation fibrosis (2), sulcus vocalis (2), or presbylarynx or bowing (6) - bilaterally in 14 operations and unilaterally in 8. There were 13 male patients and 8 female patients, with a mean age of 58.3 years (range, 22 to 87 years). The mean follow-up was 9.1 months (range, 1 to 46 months). After submucosal vocal fold exploration, autologous fat was implanted in 20 of the 21 patients. Postoperative videostroboscopy demonstrated improved mucosal pliability in 19 cases and improved glottal closure in 20 cases. Most patients noted voice improvement. Complications were minimal. Conclusions: Gray's minithyrotomy is a highly effective approach for treating vocal fold scar processes, bowing, sulcus vocalis, and, potentially, other conditions.

TI Sensorineural hearing impairment in children with Chiari I malformation SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Chiari I malformation; hearing loss; pediatrics; sensorineural hearing impairment ID SURGICAL DECOMPRESSION; MANIFESTATIONS AB Objectives: We describe the prevalance of Chiari I malformation in children presenting to a pediatric tertiary care hearing loss clinic, characterize the phenotype of hearing loss in children with Chiari I malformation, and discuss the potential pathophysiology of sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI) related to Chiari I malformation. Methods: This study was a retrospective case series of patients seen in a pediatric tertiary care hearing loss clinic affiliated with an academic medical center. We considered 491 patients with SNHI who had radiographic imaging as part of the evaluation for the cause of their hearing impairment. Hearing impairment was determined by behavioral audiogram and/or auditory brain stem response testing. Radiographic imaging was performed with computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Six children with SNHI also had a diagnosis of Chiari I malformation, Four of these 6 children had unilateral hearing impairment. One child had asymmetric bilateral impairment, I child had symmetric bilateral impairment. The severity of hearing impairment varied from mild to profound. All children were referred to the neurosurgery department. None underwent surgical decompression. Conclusions. Chiari I malformation may be associated with SNHI. Central nervous system imaging for the evaluation of children with SNHI may be indicated, particularly in individuals with negative results on temporal bone computed tomography and genetic testing.

TI Assessment of trends in antimicrobial resistance in chronic rhinosinusitis SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE antibiotic therapy; antimicrobial resistance; chronic rhinosinusitis ID ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY; MICROBIOLOGY; DIAGNOSIS; MANAGEMENT AB Objectives: We performed a cross-sectional review of a prospective database to determine the contemporary incidence and temporal patterns of antimicrobial resistance in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Methods: A microbiological database was retrospectively reviewed to extract all endoscopically obtained paranasal sinus cultures from 2001 through 2005 in adult patients with CRS. The culture data were tabulated according to bacterial species and representative antibiotic resistances for methicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, gentamicin, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, and levofloxacin. The data were analyzed to determine whether increasing rates of antibiotic resistance developed over the study years. Further analysis was conducted for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) species to determine prevalence trends and antibiotic resistance trends for MRSA versus other species. Results: We analyzed 701 bacterial isolates among 392 culture samples. Staphylococcus aureus was the most commonly isolated organism (19.0%). Antibiotic resistance significantly increased for erythromycin over the study (maximum resistance rate, 69.7% in 2005; p = .009), remained unchanged for methicillin, clindamycin, levofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole (p = .366 to p = .397), and trended downward for gentamicin (p =. 180) and tetracycline (p =. 120). Nineteen percent of S aureus species were found to be MRSA, but MRSA-specific antibiotic resistance rates did not change over the course of the study (all p >= .222). In aggregate, MRSA species exhibited statistically significant higher rates of resistance to each antibiotic tested than did non-MRSA bacteria. Conclusions: Antibiotic resistance seems to be emerging for erythromycin at a rate higher than for other antibiotics. Although not increasing in prevalence, MRSA maintains a significant presence in CRS with associated increased levels of antibiotic resistance.

However, the artificial graft requires about 2 months for epithelial regeneration. The purpose of the present study was to accelerate the regeneration process of the trachea through the effective use of a bioengineered scaffold. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) with multilineage differentiation capability were used. In our study, we implanted a bioengineered scaffold that included autologous ASCs into tracheal defects in rats. Methods: Collagen gel, including ASCs labeled with monomeric yellow fluorescent protein, was layered onto the surface of the collagen sponge to form a bioengineered scaffold. This scaffold was implanted into the tracheal defects in rats. A control scaffold without ASCs was also implanted. Results: On day 14 after implantation, a pseudostratified columnar epithelium with well-differentiated ciliated and goblet cells and neovascularization was observed in rats that received the implant with the bioengineered scaffold that included ASCs. Conclusions: These results suggested that implanted ASCs accelerated neovascularization and epithelialization on the regenerated trachea. Thus, our newly developed bioengineered scaffold contributes,to tracheal regeneration.

Methods: Children were classified as having recurrent croup if they had had 2 or more episodes of barky cough, inspiratory stridor, and hoarseness. All study participants underwent direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy and were started on an antireflux regimen. A telephone questionnaire assessed the child's symptoms and treatment response. Results: Forty-seven children with recurrent croup were seen in our otolaryngology outpatient clinic. Demographics included a male-to-female ratio of 1.6 to 1 and an age range of 1 month to 11 years (median, 20 months). Thirty patients (63.8%) had a medical history of asthma, and 10 (21.3%) came with a prior diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux-related laryngopharyngeal changes were seen during direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy in 87.2%. Of those with survey follow-up, 87.5% had improvement of respiratory symptoms after a 6- to 9-month course of antireflux medications. This finding was further reflected in a decreased number and duration of episodes (p < .0001). Conclusions: The underlying narrowing process of recurrent croup can be attributed to gastroesophageal reflux and should be considered in any child with persistent barky cough, inspiratory stridor, and hoarseness. To confirm the diagnosis, diagnostic methods should be correlated with symptom progression after treatment initiation.

Methods: Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to 3 study groups and 1 control group. Infliximab was injected intravenously. Histopathologic changes were determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Fluorescence microscopy was performed to examine the leakage of the exudates. Vascular permeability was measured by the Evans blue dye technique. Results: In comparison with the control group, we found significant differences in the extent of middle ear mucosa without active inflammation and the presence of reparable lesions in all study groups treated with infliximab. A significant reduction of extravasated Evans blue dye in all study group animals was found as compared with the control group animals. Conclusions: This study suggests that the monoclonal tumor necrosis factor alpha antibody, infliximab, can reduce inflammatory activity in experimental otitis media in rats.

Methods: I reviewed the literature on laryngeal physiology, clinical evaluation of laryngeal function, and the clinical presentation and treatment of neurologic disorders that frequently affect the larynx. Results: Laryngeal function is complex, as this organ is important in breathing, speech, and swallowing. Coordination of these roles is very susceptible to disruption by neurologic disorders. Diagnosis of neurologic disease is primarily based on history and physical examination; however, the diagnosis of laryngeal dysfunction is frequently overlooked, because the larynx is not easily accessible to examination by non-otolaryngologists. Evaluation of laryngeal function includes listening to the voice, systematic observation of the larynx during speech and nonspeech tasks, and, sometimes, ancillary tests. Neurologic disorders that affect laryngeal function include Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and dystonia. The otolaryngologist can sometimes provide treatment to specifically improve symptoms of laryngeal involvement. Conclusions: Otolaryngology consultation is important in the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic disorders that affect laryngeal function. The otolaryngologist should be able to perform a systematic evaluation of laryngeal and pharyngeal function, and should be aware of the clinical presentation of neurologic disorders that affect the larynx.

TI Optical coherence tomography of the newborn airway SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 87th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE imaging; newborn airway; optical coherence tomography; subglottic stenosis ID SUBGLOTTIC STENOSIS; BLOOD-FLOW; HUMAN SKIN; VELOCITY; INFANTS AB Objectives: Acquired subglottic stenosis in a newborn is often associated with prolonged endotracheal intubation. This condition is generally diagnosed during operative endoscopy after airway injury has occurred. Unfortunately, endoscopy is unable to characterize the submucosal changes observed in such airway injuries. Other modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound, do not possess the necessary level of resolution to differentiate scar, neocartilage, and edema. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that produces high-resolution, cross-sectional images of living tissue (8 to 20 pm). We examined the ability of this noninvasive technique to characterize the newborn airway in a prospective clinical trial. Methods: Twelve newborn patients who required ventilatory support underwent OCT airway imaging. Comparative analysis of intubated and non-intubated states was performed. Results: Imaging of the supraglottis, glottis, subglottis, and trachea was performed in 12 patients, revealing unique tissue characteristics as related to turbidity, signal backscattering, and architecture. Multiple structures were identified, including the vocal folds, cricoid cartilage, tracheal rings, ducts, glands, and vessels. Conclusions: Optical coherence tomography clearly identifies in vivo tissue layers and regional architecture while offering detailed information concerning tissue micro structures. The diagnostic potential of this technology makes OCT a promising modality in the study and surveillance of the neonatal airway.

TI Results of sonotubometry in testing eustachian tube ventilatory function in children with cleft palate SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cleft palate; eustachian tube; sonotubometry ID OTITIS-MEDIA; MIDDLE-EAR; HEALTHY-CHILDREN; AUDITORY TUBE; EFFUSION; PATHOGENESIS; ADULTS; PALATOPLASTY; RELIABILITY; NOISE AB Objectives: In previous studies, an updated sonotubometry setup was tested in healthy adults and children to test its validity and reproducibility in the assessment of the ventilatory function of the eustachian tube (ET). The results were promising, but further investigations were needed to confirm the discriminative potential of this sonotubometry setup. Our objective in the present study was to test the discriminative potential of an updated sonotubometry setup in children with cleft palate. Methods: The ET ventilatory function was tested in 56 children with cleft palate, ie, children with impaired ET function, and compared to the outcomes in 61 healthy children who served as a control group. All of the children were between 5 and 9 years of age. To test the reproducibility, we performed the sonotubometric testing in 2 sessions of 10 acts of swallowing each. Spearman's coefficient was used to test the correlation between the 2 sets of measurements. The results of measurements in the cleft palate group were compared with those in the otologically healthy control group and analyzed by means of a Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Opening of the ET was recorded in at least 1 of the 2 measurement sessions in 57% of the children with cleft palate, as compared to 82% in the control group. The mean number of openings was lower in the cleft palate group than in the control group (respectively, 2.3 versus 3.7 out of 10; p < .01). The first and second sessions were highly correlated in both the cleft palate group and the control group, with Spearman's coefficients of, respectively, 0.96 and 0.89. Conclusions: The results of this study show that this updated sonotubometry setup has the potential to discriminate between these groups of children with various states of ET ventilatory function. Furthermore, the results of this study once again show that this updated sonotubometry setup is capable of assessing ET ventilatory function in both healthy children and children with cleft palate and that the measurements are highly reproducible. A persistent disadvantage remains that in 18% of the 61 healthy children there was no ET opening that could be registered, which still prohibits a definite assessment at the individual level.

Those implant recipients who keep residual hearing may benefit from improved pitch resolution through both electrical and acoustic hearing. Preservation of cochlear function after implantation is a challenging task for the surgeon. Current topics of hearing preservation research include electrode design and surgical technique. To maintain hearing, surgeons strive to create a cochleostomy and place the electrode in a minimally traumatic fashion. In this study, we examine a novel catheter-based real-time imaging modality with 10- to 15-mu m resolution, optical coherence tomography (OCT), on the inner ear. We demonstrate the capability of OCT to allow visualization of inner ear structures through bone in live mice. We additionally used OCT to image the inner ear in a human temporal bone. Optical coherence tomography was able to delineate soft tissue structures within the cochlea and may be useful as an adjunct to cochlear implantation. Other potential otologic applications of OCT are discussed. C1 [Lin, James] Univ Maryland, Sch Med, Dept Otorhinolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Baltimore, MD 21201 USA. [Jafri, M.

Methods: Submandibular glands from 10 patients with chronic obstructive sialadenitis as a study group and 10 normal submandibular glands as a control group were examined. Oncostatin M mRNA extracted from submandibular gland was used for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and analyzed semiquantitatively. The difference in expression level of oncostatin M protein between the 2 groups was analyzed through Western blot analysis, and oncostatin M protein was localized immunohistochemically. Results: The expression levels of oncostatin M mRNA and protein were significantly increased in the study group. The protein was predominantly localized in ductal epithelia and infiltrating inflammatory cells and was more strongly expressed in the study group also. Conclusions: Oncostatin M is expressed in both chronic obstructive sialadenitis and normal submandibular gland, and is up-regulated in chronic obstructive sialadenitis. These results suggest that oncostatin M is involved in the pathologic process of chronic obstructive sialadenitis. However, the physiologic role in normal glands, as well as a possible role in the development of chronic obstructive sialadenitis, remains to be elucidated.

We report on in-office PDL treatment of laryngeal vascular polyps. Methods: Retrospective case results from 29 consecutive cases of laryngeal polyps were evaluated to determine the percent change in polyps after PDL treatment. Preoperative and postoperative measurements of polyp size, total power delivered to the site, and whether patients opted for postprocedure phonomicrosurgery were analyzed. Results: After PDL treatment, the results varied from complete to partial resolution of the polyp. Four patients requested conventional phonomicrosurgery, and the rest had enough improvement to defer surgery. Almost 40% of patients with larger polyps desired operative intervention after laser treatment, whereas only 13% of those with small polyps opted for phonomicrosurgery. Thirty-eight percent (11 of 29) of the lesions had greater than 70% improvement after 1 or 2 laser treatments (average of 1.1 procedures). Smaller lesions responded better. Thirty-nine percent of small polyps resolved by greater than 70%, whereas only 20% of larger lesions improved by the same amount. There were no adverse events from the office procedure. Conclusions: In-office use of the PDL for treatment of vascular polyps may be a safe alternative to phonomicrosurgery. Small polyps seem to show a better response.

Methods: The bipotential collagen scaffold was developed by conjugating a collagen vitrigel membrane to a collagen sponge in order to promote both epithelial cell growth and mesenchymal cell infiltration. The bipotential collagen scaffold was transplanted into tracheal defects in rats, and a conventional collagen sponge was implanted as a control model. Histologic examinations were undertaken to evaluate the results. Results: The bioengineered trachea was covered with epithelium in the vitrigel model, but not in the control model, at 7 days after implantation. At 14 days after implantation, the bioengineered trachea was covered with epithelium involving the basal cell layer in the vitrigel model. At 28 days after implantation, a columnar ciliated epithelium was observed only in the vitrigel model. Conclusions: Our technique for trachea reconstruction using a novel bipotential collagen scaffold affords a feasible approach for accelerating epithelial regeneration on the intraluminal surface of the host tracheal defect.

Methods: Group I consisted of 40 patients with type I diabetes, and group 2 consisted of 20 control subjects without diabetes. All participants answered a questionnaire, and their medical records were reviewed. They also were submitted to otorhinolaryngological examinations and to auditory tests (pure tone audiometry and acoustic immitance and auditory brain stem response [ABR] tests). Results: Dyslipidemia, hypertension, retinopathy, and diabetic neuropathy were not frequent in the patients of group 1, but incipient nephropathy was present in 47.5% of them. The most frequent cochleovestibular symptoms were tinnitus and hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss was found in 4 patients of group I and was predominantly bilateral, symmetric, and affecting the high frequencies, coexisting with normal vocal discrimination. These patients had a longer time from diabetes diagnosis and had poor glycemia control. A delay of ABR interpeak latency I-III was observed in 11.25% of the group I ears. All patients of group 2 presented normal audiograms and ABR tests. Conclusions: In group 1, the most frequent cochleovestibular symptoms were tinnitus and hearing loss. The sensorineural hearing loss was mild, symmetric, and predominantly high-frequency. A delay of ABR interpeak latencies was detected in the patients of group I who had normal audiometric thresholds.

Methods: GAGs from normal human LP and from both normal and scarred canine LPs were analyzed by fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (FACE). Immunostaining was conducted to give insight into the spatial distribution of each GAG type. Results: Hyaluronan composes roughly 0.64%+/- 0.41% of the human LP as measured relative to tissue total protein. Chondroitin sulfate and/or dermatan sulfate (CS/DS), keratan sulfate, and heparan sulfate chains constitute approximately 23.9%+/- 12.1%, 14.7%+/- 6. 1 %, and 61.4%+/- 13.6%, respectively, of human LP sulfated GAGs. Conclusions: Observed CS/DS sulfation patterns imply that versican is a major contributor to human LP CS levels. In addition, examination of LP GAG with respect to gender revealed a significant variation in total levels of CS/DS and a potential difference in the levels of versican relative to decorin and biglycan. In dogs, LP scarring appeared to result in a reduction in hyaluronan and CS/DS. These FACE results were combined with histologic data to update current descriptive models linking LP microstructure with the regional variations in LP loading.

Methods: In this study, the muscle-nerve-muscle technique was used to direct superior laryngeal nerve axons to reinnervate intrinsic laryngeal muscles by implanting the recurrent laryngeal nerve stump into the cricothyroid muscle in 8 dogs. In 4 of the dogs, the recurrent laryngeal nerve trunk to the adductor muscles was divided so that all axonal sprouting was directed to the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle. Six-month electromyography data were obtained from 6 of the 8 dogs. Results: All 6 dogs showed evidence of successful reinnervation of the thyroarytenoid or posterior cricoarytenoid muscles with action potentials that corresponded to spontaneous respiratory efforts, while the donor cricothyroid muscles retained their phasic contraction. These responses were obliterated when the recurrent laryngeal nerve conduit was divided. Histologic examination of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles demonstrated successful reinnervation. Conclusions: The results confirm that intrinsic laryngeal muscles may be successfully reinnervated by the superior laryngeal nerve with the muscle-nerve-muscle technique, without sacrifice of function of the cricothyroid muscle. This method offers an alternative source of appropriately firing axons for laryngeal reinnervation procedures.

Methods: Twenty-eight rabbits underwent experimental induction of bacterial rhinosinusitis with Staphylococcus aureus. The animals were assigned randomly to 1 of 4 treatments (saline solution, methylprednisolone, cefazolin sodium, methylprednisolone-cefazolin sodium) for 7 days. After the treatment period, sinus mucosa samples of the animals were examined stereologically. In addition, mucosa samples were used in the determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Results: Methylprednisolone, cefazolin, and methylprednisolone-cefazolin had a positive effect on the reduction of neutrophil infiltration to the sinus mucosa in experimental bacterial rhinosinusitis as compared to the group treated with saline solution. However, the effects of methylprednisolone, cefazolin, and methylprednisolone-cefazolin did not significantly differ (p > .05). Similarly, the use of methylprednisolone, cefazolin, and methylprednisolone-cefazolin decreased MPO activity as compared to the group with saline solution (p < .05), and the difference among methylprednisolone, cefazolin, and methylprednisolone-cefazolin was statistically significant (p < .05). The most significant decrease in MPO (neutrophil marker enzyme) activity was determined in the animals treated with methylprednisolone-cefazolin (p < .05). Conclusions: Administering corticosteroids as an adjunct to antibiotics may accelerate the healing process in experimentally induced rhinosinusitis. In this model of rhinosinusitis, an MPO assay was supportive of this hypothesis, although stereological examination showed no statistically significant difference.

The scanning system can be applied with the 2 available high-powered pulsed waves, SuperPulse and UltraPulse. This study was conducted to determine whether there are any differences in phonosurgery between the SuperPulse and UltraPulse lasing applications with regard to thermal diffusion into the surrounding tissues, healing time, and clinical results. Methods: Thirteen patients with bilateral and similar vocal fold lesions underwent operation - one side in SuperPulse mode and the other side in UltraPulse mode. The parameters for phonosurgery were depth of 0.2 mm, 10 W, single pulse, and 0.10 second for SuperPulse, and 2 passes, 10 W, single pulse, and 0.10 second for UltraPulse. Results: Incisions were sharper with UltraPulse, making the surgery easier, but at the first postoperative follow-up visit, after 8 to 10 days, no differences were observed in the presentation, the healing, or the vibration of the 2 vocal folds. Coagulation along the incision line was 25 pm for SuperPulse and 15 pm for UltraPulse (median values). Conclusions: In comparison with SuperPulse, the UltraPulse carbon dioxide laser made the procedure easier, but did not improve the clinical outcome.

Magnetic resonance sialography has been recently proposed as a means of diagnosing a heterogeneous group of salivary disorders, and so we compared it with sialoendoscopy in evaluating stenoses and sialectasia in 24 patients with obstructive symptoms and ultrasonographic results negative for calculi or masses. Methods: All of the patients (19 of whom had recurrent unilateral or bilateral swollen parotid glands and 5 of whom also had recurrent swollen submandibular glands) underwent dynamic color Doppler ultrasonography and dynamic magnetic resonance sialography with lemon juice stimulation of saliva; 18 patients also underwent diagnostic sialoendoscopy. Results: Ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography showed duct dilatation in all patients (bilateral in 5 with parotid stenosis). Magnetic resonance sialography confirmed duct dilatation and stenosis in all of the patients, and revealed the simultaneous presence of calculi in 4 cases. A parotid sialocele was found in 4 cases. The magnetic resonance sialographic findings were confirmed in the patients who underwent sialoendoscopy. No side effects were observed. Conclusions: Magnetic resonance sialography following prediagnostic ultrasonography allows an adequate diagnosis of salivary duct disorders such as stenosis and sialectasia, as confirmed by objective sialoendoscopic assessment. Magnetic resonance sialography also makes it possible to visualize the salivary duct system up to its tertiary branches and, in this regard, may be considered a valid, noninvasive method for the evaluation of salivary duct disorders.

This study aimed to assess swallowing sounds by digital cervical auscultation in children of this age group without symptoms of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Methods: Digital cervical auscultation was performed in 118 subjects by use of a piezoelectric microphone. The children swallowed 5 mL of liquid and yogurt. The components of perceptual acoustic analysis were discrete initial signal (DIS), main signal of swallowing sound (MS), discrete final signal (DFS), and expiratory return (ER). Duration in seconds was the objective parameter of the swallowing sound signal analyzed. Results: Fifty-six boys and 62 girls were evaluated at a mean ( SD) age of 6.9 +/- 2.03 years. A complete DIS-MS-DFS-ER swallowing sequence was found in 60% of the children. There was no significant difference in swallowing sound duration between both food consistencies (p = .189) or between genders either for liquid (p = .327) or yogurt (p = .792). There was no correlation between age and duration of the swallowing sound for liquid or yogurt. Conclusions: We concluded that digital cervical auscultation was able to provide objective information about the swallowing process that could contribute to methodological standardization in children.

TI Pediatric voice-related quality of life: Findings in healthy children and in common laryngeal disorders SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 87th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE outcome; pediatric voice; quality of life; voice ID OUTCOME SURVEY; VOCAL QUALITY; VALIDATION; RECONSTRUCTION; PREVALENCE; INSTRUMENT; DYSPHONIA AB Objectives: Although several instruments have been validated to assess voice quality, the incidence and degree of impairment in normal, healthy children has not been widely reported. It is hypothesized that healthy children outside a medical setting do not demonstrate impairment as measured by the Pediatric Voice-Related Quality of Life (PVRQOL) instrument; in contrast, patients with vocal fold paralysis (VFP), vocal nodules (VNs), and paradoxical vocal fold dysfunction (PVFD) have significant impairment as compared to control populations. Methods: The PVRQOL was measured prospectively in children with VFP, VNs, and PVFD. The findings were compared to findings in 100 children surveyed at the 2006 Wisconsin State Fair. Results: Of the 100 surveys of healthy children and their parents, 95 were completed correctly; their mean (+/-SD) PVRQOL score was 96.8 +/- 5.85. The VFP patients (n = 11; mean PVRQOL score, 70.5 +/- 28.6) reported significant impairment (p < .0001, impaired t-test). This was also true of patients with VNs (n = 13; PVRQOL score, 84.8 +/- 9.4; p < .0001) and PVFD (n = 25; PVRQOL score, 86.7 +/- 14.3; p < .0001); statistically significant differences were also noted for the Social-Emotional and Physical-Functional domains for each of the 3 disease states compared to the group of healthy children (p < .001). Conclusions: The PVRQOL scores of healthy children reveal essentially no self-reported vocal impairment. In contrast, common disorders such as VNs, VFP, and PVFD demonstrate statistically significant impairment in age-matched children for total PVRQOL, as well as for the Social-Emotional and Physical-Functional domains. This is the first report of normative PVRQOL data in children.

Methods: Data were collected by standardized chart review with centralized database administration for all consecutive functional endoscopic sinus surgeries that included the use of balloon catheters across the 18-month time period from December 2005 to May 2007. Results: Balloon catheters were used in 3,276 peripheral (maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid) sinuses, for an average of 3.2 sinuses per patient. There were no major adverse events related to the use of balloon catheter instruments. The revision rate was 1.3% of sinuses treated with a balloon catheter after an average follow-up of 40.2 weeks. Sinus symptoms were improved in 95.2%, unchanged in 3.8%, and worse in 1.0% of patients. Postoperative sinus infections were significantly less frequent and less severe compared to infections before surgery. The results were consistent across all patient categories, including balloon-only patients and revision patients. Conclusions: Use of balloon catheters as instruments in sinus surgery appears to be relatively safe and effective and to improve the patient's quality of life. The results are consistent and generalizable across a wide range of sinusitis patients and physician practices. The complication rates, revision rates, and patient symptom improvement rates all compare favorably with previously reported results of functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Failure of conservative therapy leads to a recommendation of parotidectomy in a high percentage of cases. Nowadays, development of new, minimally invasive methods may lead to a fundamental change in the treatment regimen. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 39 patients who presented with symptomatic strictures of Stensen's duct from 2002 to 2005. Sialoscopy was performed with semirigid endoscopes. Therapy consisted of irrigation and intraductal infusion of cortisone. If possible, interventional sialoscopy was carried out as the first-line procedure. If indicated, operative procedures of the duct were performed. Results: After irrigation and intraductal medication, 17.9% of the patients were free of symptoms. Interventional sialoscopy was carried out in 74.4%, with a success rate of 75.9%. Operative duct procedures (extended papillotomy or resection of papilla stricture with duct reinsertion) were carried out in 23% of cases. In 5.1% of the total cases, parotidectomy was unavoidable. Conclusions: Sialoscopy-based methods play a central role in gland-preserving treatment of strictures of Stensen's duct. Sialoscopy has proven to be a fast, useful, and relatively safe therapeutic tool with a high success rate. Parotidectomy is the last choice in symptomatic cases.

We present data from a prospective case series to define and measure effects of a systematic therapy for chronic pharyngeal dysphagia using adjunctive NMES. Methods: Six adult patients with pharyngeal dysphagia received 15 sessions of a standardized protocol of swallowing exercises with adjunctive NMES. The patients completed clinical and instrumental baseline, posttreatment, and 6-month follow-up evaluations. Outcome measures included the proportion of patients who improved in clinical swallowing ability, functional oral intake, and change in body weight; patient perception of swallowing ability; and changes in kinematic aspects of swallowing. Results: Significant change was demonstrated for clinical swallowing ability (p < .042), functional oral intake (p < .02), weight gain (p < .026), and patient perception of swallowing ability (p < .043). Hyoid and laryngeal elevation during swallowing demonstrated bolus-specific patterns of change. No patient experienced a treatment-related or swallowing-related complication. Patients (4 of 5) who were followed out to 6 months after treatment maintained functional gains. Conclusions: A systematic therapy for chronic pharyngeal dysphagia using adjunctive NMES produced improvement in clinical swallowing ability and functional oral intake without significant weight loss or complications.

We report a case series of adult, nontracheotomized patients. Methods: Fifteen patients with significant subglottic stenosis were identified as presenting with dyspnea and stridor. The stenosis was grade III in 14 cases and grade II in I case, according to the Cotton classification. The causes were manifold, with intubation and tracheostomy being the predominant risk factors. Cricotracheal resection was performed in all cases with preoperative and postoperative videotracheoscopy. Results: The mean postoperative intubation time was 41.7 hours (11 to 103 hours), and the mean length of stay in the intensive care unit was 2.6 days (3 to 9 days). Videotracheoscopy for reassessment was performed after 96 days (average). In 13 of the 15 patients the subglottic lumen was returned to a normal diameter. In I case a recurrent stenosis was managed with repeated endoscopic interventions. One patient died on postoperative day 4 because of a pulmonary embolism. Additional complications consisted of 1 axillary venous embolism, 4 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia, and I case of transient unilateral recurrent nerve palsy that recovered completely. Conclusions: Cricotracheal resection is a reliable and versatile technique for the reconstruction of the subglottic airway, almost regardless of the underlying cause. Most complications observed have not been associated directly with the procedure, but reflect the significant comorbidity of the patient population. There seems to be an increased risk for thromboembolic events that may be a consequence of the preoperative immobilization of dyspneic patients.

We hypothesize that the VAC system may also facilitate the closure of orocutaneous and pharyngocutaneous fistulas. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed. Results: Three patients were identified. Two patients developed fistulas after undergoing salvage laryngectomy, and 1 patient developed a fistula after having a hemiglossectomy defect reconstructed by a radial forearm free flap. The VAC system was successful in closing the fistula in 2 of the 3 patients. Complete fistula closure took 3 and 11 days in the 2 cases. The 1 failure of fistula closure was due to poor collapsibility of the neck tissue along the fistula tract caused by fibrosis following prior radiotherapy. Conclusions: The VAC system is a feasible treatment option for closing head and neck fistulas, especially when collapsible tissue is present at the fistula site.

Methods: Cartesian coordinates for airway boundaries were determined from cross-sectional magnetic resonance images, and a 3-dimensional computational model of the upper airway was constructed. Flow simulations were then performed within a FLUENT commercial software framework. Four different flow conditions were simulated during inspiration, assuming the steady-state condition. The results were analyzed from the perspectives of velocity, static pressure, and wall shear stress distribution. Results: We observed that the highest axial velocity was at the site of minimum cross-sectional area (retropalatal pharynx) resulting in the lowest level of wall static pressure. The highest wall shear stresses were at the same location. The pressure drop was significantly larger for higher flow rates than for lower flow rates. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the presence of airway narrowing, through change in the flow characteristics that result in increased flow velocity and reduced static pressure, can itself increase airway collapsibility. Additionally, the effects of wall shear stress on airway walls may be an important factor in the progression over time of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea.

TI Concurrent influenza A and group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngotonsillitis SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE influenza; pharyngotonsillitis; Streptococcus pyogenes ID INFECTION; DISEASE; MICE AB Objectives: A concurrent group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS)-influenza virus pharyngotonsillitis (PT) is generally not considered in diagnoses, even though mixed bacterial-viral infections are common in other respiratory tract infections. This report describes our experience in diagnosing a potential mixed GABHS-influenza virus PT in children. Methods: Acute and convalescent antistreptolysin O (ASO) and anti-DNase B titers were obtained from 12 children with acute PT and clinical presentation that suggested viral infection, and in whom both rapid influenza A virus and rapid GABHS tests were positive. Results: The children did not receive any antimicrobial therapy, and all recovered from their acute PT within 2 to 5 days and were all asymptomatic upon their return visit 3 to 4 weeks later. GABHS was recovered from 2 of the children on their return visit. However, ASO and anti-DNase B titers were not elevated in these individuals. The ASO and anti-DNase B titers determined in the first serum samples were less than the age-adjusted normal values for all of the children. However, these titers rose by at least two-dilution (0.2 logarithm) in the convalescent sera as compared with the acute ones in 4 of the 12 children (33%). One of the 8 children who had no increase in ASO and anti-DNase B titers had an acute GABHS PT 5 months later. One-year follow-up of all of the children showed no anomalies. Conclusions: This report is the first to describe a concomitant GABHS and influenza A virus PT, as evident by increased ASO and anti-DNase B titers in a third of the patients who had both of these organisms detected in their upper airways.

TI Tone perception in cantonese-speaking children with hearing aids SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cantonese-speaking children; hearing aid; hearing impairment; tone perception ID COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION; IMPAIRED CHILDREN; LANGUAGE; PERFORMANCE; MILD AB Objectives: In this study we investigated the benefit of using hearing aids for Cantonese tone perception among children with various degrees of hearing impairment. Methods: Forty-eight children with moderate to profound hearing loss were investigated. They were required to perform a lexical tone perception test with recorded test stimuli presented at 65 dB in soundproof booths. To allow for comparison, the subjects performed the test under 2 conditions: with their hearing aids turned off (unaided condition) and with them turned on (aided condition). Results: The mean tone perception scores for the aided condition were higher than those for the unaided condition across all of the subject groups. Paired sample t-tests showed statistically significant improvement in tone perception in the moderate and severe hearing loss groups (p = .02 and p = .03, respectively). The result obtained from the moderately severe hearing loss group was marginally significant (p = .058). The improvement in tone perception in the profound hearing loss group was insignificant (p = .55). Conclusions: The use of a hearing aid is beneficial for Cantonese tone perception in children who have moderate to severe hearing impairment. When a hearing loss is greater than 90 dB, ie, in children who are classified as having profound hearing loss, a hearing aid is not effective in aiding Cantonese tone perception.

TI Reliability of the perceptual evaluation of adductor spasmodic dysphonia SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Meeting of the American-Laryngological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Laryngol Assoc DE perceptual assessment; spasmodic dysphonia; voice rating scale ID VOICE QUALITY; TELEPHONE; TREMOR AB Objectives: Although perceptual assessment by experienced voice clinicians remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and assessment of severity of adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD), the interrater reliability of voice experts for this task has not been assessed. In addition, it is unknown whether telephone-recorded or -transmitted voice samples could be used for this task. The aims of this study were 1) to assess the reliability of perceptual analysis of ADSD severity by voice experts and 2) to compare the results between digitally recorded voice samples and those recorded over the telephone. Methods: Five laryngologists randomly selected voice samples from 46 ADSD patients and rated the severity of ADSD on a 5-point rating scale. A set of digital voice recordings and a set of telephone voice recordings made from filtering the digital set via the telephone were rated, and each voice set was rated twice. Measures of intrarater and interrater reliability, as well as a measure of the probability of agreement among the raters, were calculated. Results: There was a high level of agreement on ADSD severity, with excellent interrater and intrarater reliability (Cronbach's alpha, .93 to .96). The probabilities of rater agreement on the digitally recorded and telephone-filtered voice samples were similar (chi(2), p = .07). The ratings of digital versus telephone voice samples were highly correlated (Pearson r, 0.99; p < .001). Conclusions: These results demonstrate that voice experts are reliably able to judge and agree on the severity of ADSD. Telephone-filtered voices appear to convey adequate ADSD perceptual cues for expert listeners to judge the severity of spasmodic dysphonia.

Nearly 50,000 infants have been screened to date, and an observational study and more than 2 years of follow-up of this population are described in this report. Methods: Between June 2001 and March 2005 (45 months), 47,346 neonates were screened with automated auditory brain stem response systems and followed up for at least 2 years. This total corresponds to 95% of the infants born in the 44 gynecologic institutions in this district. Results: After undergoing the screening process twice, 248 infants (0.52%) received referrals; 108 of them had apparent bilaterally affected hearing, and 140 had apparent unilaterally affected hearing. Among the bilateral cases, hearing impairment was diagnosed in 40 infants, for a total prevalence of hearing impairment of 0.08%. In 3 additional infants who received a bilateral pass result and I infant who received a unilateral pass result, hearing impairment that was progressive or of late onset was subsequently diagnosed. The positive and negative predictive values were calculated as 40% and 99.993%, respectively. Conclusions: The screening program was carefully designed to work in the Japanese society and to be well managed in Okayama Prefecture.

TI Oropharyngeal Kaposi sarcoma in related persons negative for human immunodeficiency virus SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE human herpesvirus 8; immunocompetence; immunodeficiency; Kaposi sarcoma ID JEWISH POPULATION; HUMAN-HERPESVIRUS-8; EPIDEMIOLOGY; HERPESVIRUS; MEN; DISEASES; ISRAEL; RISK AB Objectives: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a vascular tumor that can affect the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. Although KS is the most common malignancy in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, it is rare in immunocompetent persons. We describe an unusual presentation of KS in 2 related individuals and describe our attempts to determine whether oropharyngeal KS is associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Methods: All relevant clinical and surgical information, including information on tumor histopathologic and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serologic tests, was abstracted from the patient charts and electronic databases. HHV-8 immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-fixed specimens. Results: Both patient 1 and patient 2 (the nephew of patient 1) were referred for workup of a tonsillar mass that was pathologically confirmed to be KS. In each case, HIV serologic testing was negative, and a screening immunologic workup, including a quantitative natural killer cell count, a B- and T-lymphocyte count, and immunoglobulin analysis, also yielded findings that were within normal limits. Immunohistochemistry performed on 1 pathological specimen showed positive staining for the presence of HHV-8, the etiologic agent of KS. Conclusions: The presence of oropharyngeal KS in 2 related HIV-negative individuals supports a role for genetic factors in susceptibility to KS, a common exposure to an infectious agent such as HHV-8, or both. Whereas most KS cases in industrialized countries are associated with immunodeficiency, clinical and laboratory data do not suggest that either of the patients described in this report are immunodeficient. Their susceptibility to KS may be secondary to a subtle inherited defect in host resistance to HHV-8, or another unknown factor.

Methods: The data of 24 patients (45 orbits) were reviewed for demographics, ophthalmologic outcomes, and complications in regard to image-guided (18 orbits) versus non-image-guided surgery (27 orbits). Results: Overall, all patients had a reduction in proptosis (mean reduction, 6.2 mm in proptosis) as measured by Hertel exophthalmometry. There was improvement in the visual acuity of all 12 orbits with preoperative acuity of 20/40 or worse and either complete resolution (38%) or improvement (62%) in the 16 orbits with optic neuropathy. These measures reached statistical significance. Despite subjective improvement in surgeon confidence, the use of image guidance did not result in a statistically significant difference in postoperative ophthalmologic outcomes. Medical and sinonasal complications were experienced by 11.1% and 18.5% of patients who underwent image-guided and non-image-guided orbital decompression, respectively. Conclusions: Image guidance may be a useful adjunct to balanced orbital decompression for Graves' orbitopathy, but it was not associated with a statistically significant improvement in outcomes in this study.

Methods: A 46-year-old woman underwent a series of audiological and neurologic evaluations for sequential bilateral hearing losses that occurred 6 months apart. Results: Initially, the patient suffered from sudden left hearing loss, and magnetic resonance imaging documented an enhancing lesion in the left middle cerebellar peduncle. Six months later, another episode of sudden vertigo, right hearing loss, and right facial palsy developed. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a new lesion in the right middle cerebellar peduncle. Conclusions: Sequential bilateral hearing loss may be a manifestation of multiple sclerosis. In younger patients with sudden hearing loss, multiple sclerosis should be included in the differential diagnosis.

They were separately found to be associated with prognosis in patients with NPC. To date, their expression correlation and clinicopathologic significance have never been specifically addressed in NPC. Methods: Seventy-five patients with NPC and 21 noncancerous nasopharyngeal epithelial samples were accrued between 1998 and 2006 in a single hospital. The expressions of EGF and IGF-1 receptors were detected by immunohistochemical staining in the 75 NPC samples and the 21 noncancerous samples. Furthermore, the messenger RNA and protein expressions were assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the Western blot technique, respectively, in NPC cell lines and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Results: The 5-year survival rates, assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method, were 71.4% and 66.6% in the EGF and IGF-1 receptor protein-negative groups, respectively, whereas they were only 28.6% and 33.3% in the receptor protein-positive groups. The levels of these two proteins significantly correlated with each other, and the overexpression rates of EGF and IGF-1 receptors were 65.3% and 56% in nasopharyngeal samples, respectively. Furthermore, both protein expressions were significantly higher in NPC patients with cervical lymph node or distant metastasis than in NPC patients without lymph node or distant metastasis. Recurrence more often appears in cases positive for both proteins than in cases negative for both proteins. The expression levels of the receptor messenger RNA and proteins were higher in several NPC cell lines than in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that both receptor proteins may play an important role in the invasion, metastasis, and recurrence of NPC. Both receptors are valuable markers for assessing the prognosis of NPC. Their expression at such high frequencies provides the basis of combined targeted therapy with specific pharmacologic inhibitors to enhance the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Although chemoradiotherapy has become more popular in treating HPSCC in recent years, surgery with postoperative adjuvant therapy still plays an important role. The purpose of this study was to identify the clinicopathologic factors that predict survival in patients with HPSCC who underwent surgical treatment. Methods: Between 1986 and 1995, 94 previously untreated HPSCC patients who underwent surgery with or without postoperative radiotherapy were enrolled. The surgical specimens were reexamined by a single pathologist. The clinicopathologic parameters and prognostic data were analyzed. Results: With a median follow-up of 50 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and relapse-free survival (RFS) were 47%, 60%, and 58%, respectively. Thirty-seven patients (39%) had tumor recurrence. The level of lymph node metastasis was an independent factor in OS, DSS, and RFS. Neck biopsy before surgery, tumor involvement of more than 1 subsite, and extracapsular spread were independent factors in DSS, as was lymphovascular permeation in RFS. Conclusions: The level of cervical lymph node metastasis is the only independent prognostic factor in OS, DSS, and RFS. The addition of postoperative chemoradiotherapy may benefit high-risk cases.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all stapedectomy patients who underwent stapes surgery by one of two surgeons in a single tertiary referral institution from 1962 to 2001 was performed, and those patients who underwent bilateral stapedectomy were identified. Patient demographic data, surgical findings, procedure performed, and preoperative and postoperative audiometric data were recorded. Results: A total of 459 patients (918 ears) underwent bilateral stapedectomy for bilateral otosclerosis during the study period, of whom 426 had complete data for analysis. The finding of a white or obliterated footplate in the second ear was significantly higher if the first ear had this disease manifestation (p < .001, chi(2) test). The association between a second drill-out's being performed and a drill-out in the first operation was significant (p < .001, chi(2) test). Statistical analysis identified that those who underwent a drill-out procedure had a 2.9-fold increase in unsuccessful outcome in comparison to those who did not have a drill-out (odds ratio, 2.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.41 to 5.89). Facial nerve anomalies were infrequently encountered, affecting only 23 patients, of whom 3 had bilateral abnormalities. The finding of an overhanging or dehiscent facial nerve in the second ear was significantly more likely if such an abnormality was identified during the first procedure (23% versus 2.5%; p = .005, Fisher's exact test). Conclusions: Second-ear hearing results are poorer in those who require a drill-out of this ear, and this is more likely to be required if a drill-out was required in the first ear, regardless of a successful outcome of the first procedure. Patients should be aware of the reduced likelihood of success in these cases and be counseled regarding risks and benefits of second-ear surgery based, in part, on the findings from the first ear. This study confirms that bilateral advanced footplate obliteration and overhanging or dehiscent facial nerves may be anticipated in patients found to have these abnormalities during first-ear stapedectomy.

Methods: We used 14 nonhuman primates (Macaca fascicularis). They underwent translabyrinthine bilateral auditory deafferentation and simultaneous unilateral implantation of an ABI. In 6 cases the ABI was not activated, whereas it was activated in 8 cases. The ABI array consisted of 3 platinum disc electrodes mounted on a silicone pad with the back side covered with polyethylene terephthalate mesh, connected via a cable to an external stimulator in animals undergoing electrical stimulations. Results: All animals tolerated the procedures well. In both groups of animals, neuropathologic lesions or changes attributed to surgical trauma were found. The biotolerance of neural tissue to the materials used was adequate. The stimulation times ranged from 0 to 732 hours. Neuropathologic examination and stereological assessment revealed that the animals showed no signs of significant neural damage after CNC chronic stimulation if this took place within the safety limits. Time of stimulation did not seem to play a significant role in changes. Conclusions: Besides surgical trauma, the most important factors responsible for CNC changes are the electrical stimulation parameters.

Methods: Transcript expression of inflammatory cytokines was measured with real-time polymerase chain reaction on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 10, and 21 in 25 rabbits that underwent bilateral vocal fold biopsy with Extracel-LG (Carbylan-GSX 5%) immediately injected into the wound in the left vocal fold and saline solution injected into the wound in the right vocal fold. Two unwounded normal rabbit larynges were also harvested for controls. Results: Significantly elevated levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and IL-6 were measured on day 3 in a comparison between Extracel-LG-injected vocal folds and saline solution-injected control vocal folds and between Extracel-LG-injected vocal folds and normal vocal folds. All cytokine levels returned to baseline by day 21. Conclusions: A mild short-term inflammatory response was measured early after injection of a synthetic extracellular matrix into the vocal fold lamina propria.

To evaluate previously established in vivo cytokine and ECM gene expression hypotheses, we examined in vitro vocal fold fibroblast responses to exogenous inflammatory factor stimulation. Methods: Rat vocal fold fibroblast lines derived from explants were separately treated with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), transforming growth factor beta subtype 1 (TGF-beta 1), or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). We examined the in vitro messenger RNA expression profiles of IL-1 beta, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta 1, and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), as well as those of hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) 1, HAS-2, procollagen subtype 1, and procollagen subtype 3, at 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 72 hours after treatment, and compared them to those of untreated fibroblasts and in vivo data, using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha induced each other and synergistically increased HAS-1 and HAS-2 expression. PGE2 also up-regulated HAS-1 and HAS-2 expression. IFN-gamma, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and TGF-beta 1 up-regulated, HAS expression alongside either transient up-regulation of, or no change in, procollagen 1 and 3 expression. Most treatments appeared to suppress procollagen expression, possibly through HAS up-regulation. All inflammatory factors attenuated TGF-beta 1 expression. Conclusions: These results confirm several in vivo trends, identify potential cytokine pathways and therapeutic candidates, and suggest the utility of this in vitro setup for future studies.

Methods: Adults with airway obstruction symptoms classified as idiopathic subglottic stenosis based on history and findings of a single discrete stenotic area on microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy were included in this series. Patients who met these criteria underwent dilation with a 10- to 14-mm balloon in a single procedure or in 2 consecutive dilations within 7 days. The patients were followed for up to 30 months after dilation. Results: Six patients met the criteria. One of the 6 had prior laser treatments and a cricotracheal resection. One patient had a previous sear band lysis procedure. The remaining 4 patients had no prior procedures. The airway sizes prior to dilation ranged from a 2.5 endotracheal tube to a 5.0 endotracheal tube. In all cases the airway was dilated to 2.0 to 3.5 endotracheal tube sizes larger than the initial size. To date, 4 patients have been followed for 10 to 30 months without symptoms of recurrent airway stenosis. One patient was symptom-free for 22 months, then presented with progressive airway difficulty following an upper respiratory tract infection, and has undergone a repeat dilation. No patients had adverse effects or complications from the procedure. Conclusions: Balloon dilation of idiopathic subglottic stenosis in adults is a relatively safe and effective method to manage this disease entity for cases of isolated and discrete lesions. Patients who underwent a single procedure have remained symptom-free for up to 30 months after balloon dilation.

Methods: Voice recordings of 14 women (mean age, 53 years; range, 35 to 69 years) who underwent cricotracheal resection for chronic airway obstruction associated with idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis were acquired before and after surgery. The recordings were analyzed with voice analysis software. The measures included the mean fundamental frequency of a sustained vowel at a comfortable pitch and loudness (F0), the mean F0 of connected speech (ie, speaking F0), the pitch range (F0 range), and the maximum phonation time. Self-assessment measures of the Voice Handicap Index were taken. Results: The mean speaking F0 lowered significantly, by 21 Hz, from 186 Hz to 165 Hz (p =.04). In 7 patients, the speaking F0 was below 160 Hz after the operation. The mean sustained vowel frequency also dropped by 32 Hz (p =.03). The F0 range was reduced by an average of 5.9 semitones, from 21.5 to 15.6 (p =.05). The maximum phonation time did not change significantly. The postoperative mean Voice Handicap Index score was 21.9. Conclusions: Cricotracheal resection can significantly impact the adult female voice. It often lowers the pitch of the speaking voice into the male range and reduces the pitch range of the voice. The change in voice that potentially accompanies this procedure should be discussed with patients in preoperative counseling.

The study evaluates the clinical potential of the algorithm as a mechanism to distinguish between normal and pathologic voices using connected speech. Methods: Adult vocalizations from normal subjects and patients with known benign free-edge vocal fold lesions were analyzed. Recordings had been previously obtained in quiet under controlled conditions. Two phrases and sustained /a/ were recorded per subject. The subject populations consisted of 10 normal and 31 abnormal subjects. The voice analysis algorithm generated 2-dimensional patterns that represent pitch deviation in time and under variable window widths. Measures were collected from these patterns for window widths between 10 and 250 ms. For comparison, jitter and shimmer measures were collected from sustained /a/ by means of the Computerized Speech Lab (CSL). A t-test and tests of sensitivity and specificity assessed discrimination between normal and abnormal populations. Results: More than 58% of the measures collected from connected speech outperformed the CSL jitter and shimmer measures in population discrimination. Twenty-five percent of the experimental measures (including /a/) indicated significantly different populations (p <.01%). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that the algorithm distinguishes between normal and abnormal populations by use of samples of connected speech. C1 [Laflen, J.

Methods: We present a detailed clinical history, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intraoperative photographs, and histopathologic findings from a patient with bilateral IAC lesions, and review the diagnostic criteria for NF2. Results: An 11-year-old boy with surgically resected spinal myxopapillary ependymoma, treated with total spine irradiation for recurrence, later showed bilaterally enhancing IAC lesions on T1-weighted MRI with contrast. The diagnosis of NF2 with bilateral vestibular schwannomas was entertained. Close examination of T2-weighted MRI, however, demonstrated the masses to be isointense to cerebrospinal fluid. This finding raised the possibility of other, more unusual IAC lesions. The patient underwent sequential suboccipital craniotomies for tissue diagnosis, and both IAC lesions were found to be myxopapillary ependymomas. Conclusions: This is the youngest reported patient with metastatic myxopapillary ependymoma. Although vestibular schwannomas account for the majority of contrast-enhancing T1-weighted IAC lesions, other uncommon lesions may present in a similar manner. A T2 fast-spin echo screening MRI would have missed this patient's lesions. Therefore, both T1-weighted MRI with or without contrast and T2-weighted MRI may be necessary to distinguish vestibular schwannoma from other, more unusual IAC lesions.

Methods: A retrospective review of the outcomes of 811 otologic operations was performed. The outcomes of faculty staff (group 1), senior residents (fifth year; group 2), and residents (fourth year) under supervision of the faculty staff (group 3) were assessed and compared. The faculty staff were available for consultation if needed and were ready to intervene at any stage for group 2. Results: There were 397 female patients (48.95%) and 414 male patients (51.04%) from 17 to 71 years of age. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding graft take rate or hearing outcome (p >.05). Conclusions: The otologic training of residents appears to be successful in Turkey, as the surgical outcomes of residents were comparable to those of faculty staff.

There have been a few reported cases, however, of polyps that caused airway obstruction. Herein we present our series of obstructing laryngeal polyps. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all patients with benign laryngeal lesions treated by the senior author (A.M.S.S.) between 1997 and 2006. Patients who presented with airway obstruction were identified. Detailed information was recorded on the demographics, presenting signs and symptoms, and surgical procedures. Preoperative and postoperative laryngoscopies were reviewed. Results: Ten patients were identified. There were 7 women and 3 men. The mean age was 49 years (range, 34 to 64 years). All had a history of vocal abuse and smoking, with a mean of 35.2 pack-years (range, 7.5 to 112.5 pack-years). All underwent microlaryngoscopy with excision of the lesions. Jet ventilation or a small endotracheal tube was used to secure the airway. The mean follow-up of 9 patients was 71.2 days (range, 25 to 208 days); 1 patient was lost to follow-up. An excellent airway and improved voice was achieved in all. Forty-four percent (4 of 9) had persistent dysphonia and a decreased mucosal wave after the operation. Conclusions: Benign laryngeal polyps may present with airway obstruction and thus should be included in the differential diagnosis of stridor. Endoscopic treatment can result in an excellent airway, but dysphonia may persist in some cases. C1 [Ahmad, Sidrah M.; Soliman, Ahmed M.

Methods: We performed a retrospective case study involving a single tertiary care children's hospital. All patients who underwent cricotracheal resection from 1993 through January 2006) were included. Patients 2 years old and younger were compared to patients more than 2 years of age (range, 2 to 44 years). The primary outcomes measured were decannulation and complication rates. We used chi(2) analyses for categorical variables to detect differences in proportions, Student's t-tests for continuous data, and logistical regression to explore for confounding. Significance was set at alpha=.05, 2-tailed. Results: Fifteen children 2 years of age or younger were identified. Most patients underwent a single-stage operation (n = 12). The overall decannulation rate was 87% (2 failures). Two patients younger than 2 years had postoperative complications, including 1 patient who developed anastomosis dehiscence. When compared to the patients over 2 years of age, patients younger than 2 were more likely to undergo a single-stage procedure (p <.01). Additionally, the cricotracheal resection was more likely to be their first attempt at airway reconstruction (p =.002). Complication and decannulation rates were similar in both groups. Conclusions: Cricotracheal resection can be performed safely and effectively in children less than 2 years old.

Many treatments are proposed to address these problems, some with significant side effects. Botulinum toxin type A injection into the salivary glands is known to reduce salivary flow without major complications. Few reports exist regarding the use of this treatment in the prevention of recurrent aspiration pneumonia. We studied the effects of this treatment for patients with recurrent aspiration pneumonia. Methods: We performed a chart review of 12 patients, ranging in age from 7 months to 37 years, treated with botulinum toxin injections at a single tertiary care institution. A caregiver telephone questionnaire was also administered. The numbers of pulmonary infections and hospitalizations before and after the initiation of treatment were compared. Results: Nine of 12 patients reported improvement in the numbers of hospitalizations and pulmonary infections following botulinum toxin injections. Reduction in the use of anticholinergic medication and reduced pulmonary toilet requirements were also noted. There were no complications of treatment. Conclusions: Botulinum toxin injection into the salivary glands can be effective in reducing pulmonary morbidity in many neurologically impaired patients. This relatively simple technique offers an alternative to the use of anticholinergic medication and may obviate the need for more invasive surgical treatment in certain patients.

Methods: Four milliliters of endolymphatic sac luminal fluid was sampled in a 41-year-old patient who presented with bilateral Mondini dysplasia and underwent auditory brain stem implantation. Ion and protein concentrations, as well as the osmolarity of the fluid, were analyzed by means of biochemical automated procedures. Results: The sodium, potassium, and protein concentrations and the osmolarity of the sample were 87 mmol/L, 24 mmol/L, 33.5 g/L, and 258 mOsm/L, respectively. Conclusions: The composition of the endolymphatic sac luminal fluid found in our patient was similar to that determined in guinea pigs under physiological conditions, and very different from the usual composition of the cochleovestibular endolymph. Contamination of the cochleovestibular endolymphatic compartment by this sodium-rich, potassium-poor, and hypo-osmotic fluid might impair cochleovestibular function by altering the chemical composition of the cochleovestibular endolymph.

Methods: Changes in (cultured) human nasal CBF in response to increasing concentrations of oxymetazoline within 20 minutes were quantified by use of high-speed digital microscopy. Moreover, the MTT before and after application of 0.05% oxymetazoline was determined by use of the saccharin test. Results: Whereas no statistically significant difference was identified when compared to basal CBF at the concentration of 0.025% or 0.05%, both 0. 10% and 0.20% oxymetazoline induced a significantly lower CBF at the end of the observation period. The decrement induced by 0.20% oxymetazoline appeared earlier. At concentrations ranging from 0.025% to 0.20%, the inhibitory effect was dependent on the concentration of oxymetazoline. In addition, the use of 0.05% oxymetazoline increased the mean (+/- SD) human nasal MTT from 474 +/- 21 seconds to 572 +/- 41 seconds (n = 29). Conclusions: The clinical concentration of oxymetazoline, 0.05%, has no obvious inhibitory effect on human nasal CBF in vitro. The increased MTT caused by 0.05% oxymetazoline in vivo is within the normal range.

It was also our purpose to use these fields to deduce the mechanisms that cause the anterior-posterior gradient and to determine whether the vortical structures are highly 3-dimensional. Methods: Using the particle imaging velocimetry method for 5 excised canine larynges, we obtained phase-averaged velocity fields in the midcoronal and midsagittal planes for 30 phases of phonation. The velocity fields were determined synchronously with the vocal fold motion recorded by high-speed videography. Results: The results show that immediately above the folds, there is no significant anterior-posterior velocity gradient. However, as the flow travels downstream, the laryngeal jet tends to narrow in width and skew toward the anterior commissure. Vortices are seen at the anterior and posterior edges of the flow. Conclusions: The downstream narrowing in the midsagittal plane is consistent with and is probably due to a phenomenon known as axis switching. Axis switching also involves vortices in the sagittal and coronal planes bending in the axial plane. This results in highly 3-dimensional, complex vortical structures. However, there is remarkable cyclic repeatability of these vortices during a phonation cycle.

The objective of this study was to characterize in vivo inflammatory factor and extracellular matrix (ECM) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels 1 hour after vocal fold injury. Methods: Five Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to bilateral vocal fold injury, 5 rats were reserved as uninjured controls, and 1 rat was subjected to unilateral vocal fold injury and reserved for histology. Tissue was harvested 1 hour after injury. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed to examine the mRNA expression profiles of inflammatory factors nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-kappa beta), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), transforming growth factor beta isoform 1 (TGF-beta 1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), as well as ECM genes hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) 1, HAS-2, procollagen 1, procollagen 3, and elastin, in the injured samples compared with the uninjured controls. Results: Injury resulted in subepithelial bleeding throughout the vocal fold. The COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and HAS-1 mRNA expression levels were significantly up-regulated 1 hour after injury compared with the uninjured controls. Conclusions: Inflammatory factor and ECM gene expression changes occur in vocal fold wound sites as early as 1 hour after injury. These results should inform future efforts to attenuate vocal fold scarring via the modulation of inflammatory factors.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the roles of vitamin A in vocal fold epithelial differentiation. Methods: Vitamin A-deficient (VAD) rats were generated, and the abnormality of their vocal fold epithelium was examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical analysis for keratin 10 and transglutaminase (TGase) 1. Results: The VAD experimental rats exhibited orthokeratosis of the vocal fold epithelium. Keratin 10 and TGase 1 were up-regulated in the epithelium of the VAD rats. Conclusions: It is suggested that vitamin A suppresses TGase I expression in normal vocal folds to inhibit keratinization, and that the TGase I up-regulation caused by vitamin A deficiency may be related to the formation of metaplasia in the laryngeal epithelium.

The equipment necessary to perform this procedure is often inaccessible. The LifeStat emergency airway is a portable device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1997 for emergency cricothyrotomy. It is small enough to secure to a keychain, thus allowing instantaneous access at all times. We present a retrospective case series to report the experience of clinicians who have used the LifeStat device. Methods: A survey instrument was sent to a convenience sample of health-care professionals who purchased the LifeStat emergency airway. The survey queried device use, user demographics, and the success, ease, complications, and location of use. Results: One thousand surveys were distributed, and 100 individuals responded. Fifteen percent (15 of 100) reported use of the device on 17 occasions. The LifeStat was used successfully in all 17 cases. Eighty-two percent (14 of 17) of emergency use was in hospitals. In all cases the device was positioned successfully on the first attempt. No complications were reported. Conclusions: The LifeStat device provides a relatively safe and effective means of performing emergency cricothyrotomy. The majority of emergency situations in which the device was deployed occurred in hospital settings.

Methods: Fifty-two patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis underwent FS (thyroplasty [TP], 23; arytenoid adduction [AA], 18; and AA with TP, 11). The numbers of patients who required AIL were calculated for each type of FS. The voice function after AIL was investigated. Thereafter, the width and the bowing ratios on phonation were measured in patients who underwent AA. Results: The patients who underwent AA required AIL more frequently than did patients who underwent TP. Use of AIL provided better voice function for all patients. The width ratio after AA decreased in all cases, but the bowing ratio increased after AA in 44% of cases. Conclusions: These results indicate that AIL is an effective treatment for patients who still have a glottal gap after undergoing FS. In particular, patients who had AA frequently required AIL, in comparison to patients who had TP, because of the high frequency of an increased bowing ratio after AA.

Methods: We compared VEMPs and VEPPs, measured with both air-conducted (AC) and bone-conducted (BC) stimulations. Vestibular evoked potentials were measured both in the immediate postoperative period and some months later. Results: At the immediate postoperative examination, VEPPs were preserved in all 3 patients with both AC and BC stimulations. The VEMPs showed stable or improved parameters in 2 of our patients and were absent in the third patient. At the follow-up examination, VEMPs did not show any significant change with respect to the previous evaluation: In contrast, VEPPs were absent in 2 of our patients with AC stimulation and in I patient with BC stimulation. Conclusions: Our results seem to indicate a greater stability and reproducibility of VEMPs compared with VEPPs. In 1 patient, who had a schwannoma of the inferior vestibular nerve, the preservation of VEPPs and the absence of VEMPs in the immediate postoperative period confirm that the saccule represents the origin of VEMPs. Furthermore, these results suggest that not only the saccule, but also the utriculus, could be implicated in the origin of VEPPs.

When a concha bullosa becomes obstructed, it can form a mucocele and, eventually, a mucopyocele if it becomes secondarily infected. This is a rare phenomenon; only 9 concha bullosa mucopyoceles have been previously reported in the English-language literature. We present the case of a large concha bullosa mucopyocele in a pediatric patient in which the concha bullosa replaced the anterior ethmoid sinuses and was contiguous with the frontal sinus.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE anxiety; chronic rhinosinusitis; depression; diagnosis ID ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY; OF-THE-LITERATURE; CHRONIC PAIN; PREVALENCE; DISORDERS; OUTCOMES; ASSOCIATION AB Objectives: We sought to determine the impact of psychiatric comorbidity on symptom reporting and diagnostic accuracy in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Methods: A prospective cohort of patients presenting for evaluation of CRS was studied with the Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Data concerning symptom scores, symptom domains, and psychiatric comorbidity were analyzed with respect to paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) Lund score. The degree of correlation between sinonasal symptoms and CT scan stage adjusting for anxiety and depression was determined. The relationships between symptoms, psychiatric comorbidity, and the presence of radiographic CRS were determined with multivariate logistic regression. Results: There were 230 patients (mean age, 43.4 years) enrolled. High levels of anxiety and depression were noted in 23.5% and 13.0%, respectively. According to CT criteria, 61.3% to 71.3% of patients had true CRS. Even adjusting for anxiety and depression, only the nasal symptom domain severity had a statistically significant correlation with Lund score (r = 0.240; p =.001); facial, oropharyngeal, systemic, and total symptoms did not correlate with CT score. Similarly, multivariate analysis revealed that even with adjustment for anxiety and depression, sinus symptom domains failed to predict radiographic positivity. Individually, only dysosmia, dental pain, and fatigue were predictive for CRS (odds ratios, 1.29 [p =.032], 1.69 [p =.001], and 0.70 [p =.023], respectively). Conclusions: Although anxiety and depression are prevalent in patients with CRS, they do not influence the correlation between nasal symptoms and CT findings. Markers of psychiatric comorbidity do not correlate with CRS symptoms. The presence of anxiety or depression does not cloud symptom reporting in CRS and should not bias clinical decision-making.

Methods: One hundred forty-five patients returned surveys in an otolaryngology group. The patients had undergone UPPP for snoring, sleep apnea, or both between April 1, 2000, and April 5, 2005. Results: Most patients (103; 78%) reported being satisfied with their surgery, and most (96; 71%) stated that they would choose to have the surgery again. Postoperative improvement was reported by 85% of patients who had surgery for snoring alone, 88% of those who had surgery for sleep apnea alone, and 83% of those who had surgery for both. Patients who had a sleep study before surgery had a satisfaction rate of 90.3%, whereas only 62% of those who did not have a sleep study were satisfied. Fifty-three percent of those who had used continuous positive airway pressure still needed it after the operation. Conclusions: Most patients who had UPPP were satisfied and would choose to have the surgery again. The most satisfied patients had sleep apnea or sleep apnea and snoring together, as well as a sleep study before surgery. It is important to emphasize that UPPP does not cure everyone of sleep apnea or snoring and that it may not eliminate the need for continuous positive airway pressure.

We sought to explore an association between OI and upper airway obstruction (UAO) in light of our recent experience. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart audit and a review of the literature. Results: Three consecutive cases of OI at our institution required otolaryngological evaluation for UAO. The first patient had the mildest mutation type and did well until he developed severe reflux-triggered laryngospasm that improved with Nissen fundoplication and gastrostomy tube placement. He had mild hypotonia on endoscopy. The second patient had severe OI and the greatest acute fracture burden at birth. He required tracheotomy after early respiratory failure, and some mild bronchornalacia was noted. The third patient had severe OI and underwent cesarean section delivery. She developed respiratory failure after I month, requiring tracheotomy; mild tracheomalacia and glottic narrowing were noted on endoscopy. Conclusions: The UAO consisted of mild hypotonia or malacia in 3 consecutive cases of OI, and may have contributed to pulmonary and mechanical causes of tracheotomy requirement. The greatest predictors of tracheotomy requirement appear to be the severity of the OI mutation and the fracture burden. Elective cesarean section should be considered in severe cases of OI.

TI Endoscopic management of Sphenoid sinus cerebrospinal fluid leaks SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cerebrospinal fluid leak; cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea; endoscopic management; sphenoid sinus ID LATERAL RECESS; REPAIR; ENCEPHALOCELES; RHINORRHEA; FISTULAS; DEFECTS AB Objectives: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks that originate within the sphenoid sinus pose a unique surgical challenge due to difficulties with access and visualization The objective of this report is to illustrate concepts for the successful management of sphenoid sinus CSF leaks. Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed on 9 patients who presented to a tertiary care medical center for endoscopic repair of a sphenoid sinus CSF leak from January 2002 to January 2006. Results: The patient cohort included 7 women and 2 men with a mean age of 51.7 years. In 5 cases the CSF leak was caused by a previous neurosurgical procedure; the other 4 cases were idiopathic. An endoscopic pterygomaxillary fossa approach was required in 4 cases. A layered reconstruction of the sphenoid sinus wall with collagen allografts (cadaveric acellular dermal allograft, 8 patients; bovine collagen membrane, I patient) and mucosa under endoscopic visualization with intraoperative surgical navigation was performed in all cases. The reconstruction was buttressed with autologous bone in 2 cases and with cartilage in 2 cases. Fibrin sealant was used in 7 cases. Two patients developed transient diabetes insipidus after the repair. Two patients developed a recurrent CSF leak necessitating revision repair 2 and 15 months, respectively, after the initial repair procedure. The average hospital stay was 6.5 days. The mean length of follow-up was 21.1 months. Conclusions: This series demonstrates that minimally invasive endoscopic repair of sphenoid sinus CSF leaks may be accomplished with an acceptable rate of morbidity and excellent outcomes. Extended endoscopic approaches, including the pterygomaxillary fossa approach, may be useful in selected instances.

TI Ansa cervicalis-to-recurrent laryngeal nerve anastomosis for unilateral vocal fold paralysis: Experience of a single institution SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE ansa cervicalis; recurrent laryngeal nerve; surgical anastomosis; unilateral vocal fold paralysis ID CORD PARALYSIS; REINNERVATION AB Objectives: One treatment option for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is ansa cervicalis-to-recurrent laryngeal nerve (ansa-RLN) anastomosis to provide reinnervation to the affected vocal fold. The advantages of this treatment approach are that it 1) provides vocal fold tone, bulk, and tension, 2) is technically simple, and 3) does not preclude other medialization procedures. We present all patients who have undergone ansa-RLN anastomosis for UVFP at our institution. Methods: An Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective chart review was performed to include all patients who had undergone an ansa-RLN anastomosis procedure for UVFP at our institution. Data from clinical and endoscopic laryngoscopy with stroboscopy were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed on visual and perceptual vocal data. Results: A total of 46 patients were included in the study. Stroboscopic analysis and perceptual vocal evaluation was performed in a blinded fashion on the 21 patients who had preoperative and postoperative stroboscopy. Severity, roughness, breathiness, and strain all improved significantly over time. Glottic closure, vocal fold edge, and supraglottic effort all significantly improved after operation. Of the 38 patients with at least 3 months of follow-up, all except I demonstrated evidence of reinnervation. Conclusions: This technique for treating UVFP results in significant improvements in patients' voice and on visual examination.

Methods: The charts of 560 patients who underwent tonsillectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Three hundred nineteen patients underwent CD tonsillectomy between the years 1998 and 1999, and 241 patients underwent HS tonsillectomy using the curved shears instrument between the years 2001 and 2005. For the purpose of evaluation of postoperative bleeding rates, the groups were further stratified by age (11 years of age or less versus 12 years of age or more). Results: For the HS group, the mean operating time was shorter (7 minutes versus 17.57 minutes) and the intraoperative blood loss was lower (0 mL versus 42.12 mL). These differences were statistically significant (p <.05). There was no significant difference in the overall postoperative bleeding rates between the two groups. The postoperative bleeding rate in the HS patients I I years of age or younger was lower than that in the equivalent age group in the CD group (0.56% versus 2%, respectively), although this difference did not reach statistical significance. The postoperative bleeding rate in the HS patients 12 years of age or older was significantly higher than that in the equivalent age group in the CD group (7.93% versus 1%, respectively; p <.05). Conclusions: Harmonic scalpel tonsillectomy using the curved shears instrument offers advantages over CD tonsillectomy regarding operating time and intraoperative blood loss. In our patients more than 12 years of age, HS tonsillectomy using the curved shears instrument was associated with an increased postoperative bleeding rate compared to CD tonsillectomy.

We also examined the in vitro effects of EP agonists on airway epithelial cells. Methods: For the in vivo study, we induced hypertrophic and metaplastic changes of goblet cells in rat nasal epithelium by intranasal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) instillation. For the in vitro study, we used NCI-H292 cells and cultured human nasal epithelial cells. Results: Subcutaneous injection of the EP4 agonist (1 to 100 mu g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited LPS-induced mucus production and neutrophil infiltration. The EP3 agonist (100 mu g/kg) also had some inhibitory effects on mucus production, whereas the EP1 and EP2 agonists showed no effect. The LPS-induced mucus secretion was significantly inhibited by the EP3 and EP4 agonists at 10(-6) mol/L in cultured epithelial cells. The LPS-induced interleukin-8 secretion was also inhibited by the EP3 and EP4 agonists. Conclusions: These results indicate that the EP4 agonist inhibited LPS-induced airway mucus hypersecretion directly or indirectly through the suppression of interleukin-8 secretion and neutrophil infiltration.

The objective of this study was to find a way to acquire more rapid re-epithelialization with fibroblasts on this tracheal prosthesis. Methods: Tracheal epithelial cells, which were isolated from the trachea of rats, were suspended in a collagenous gel. The collagenous gel with fibroblasts was layered on a collagenous sponge. The grafts of this "bioengineered trachea" were implanted into tracheal defects of rats, and the regenerated epithelium on the grafts was histologically examined. Results: Seven days after implantation, stratified squamous epithelium covered almost all of the surface of the gel, and some of the implanted fibroblasts in the gel were lined up just below the epithelium. Fourteen days after implantation, columnar and cuboidal ciliated epithelium covered almost all of the surface of the defects, and the implanted fibroblasts had disappeared. The numbers of regenerated epithelial cells at 14 days after implantation were larger than those of control models without fibroblasts, with statistical significance. Conclusions: The results suggested that the grafts of bioengineered trachea composed of collagenous sponge and collagenous gel with tracheal fibroblasts accelerated epithelial differentiation and proliferation in vivo.

Vitamin A-storing stellate cells have been identified in several organs. The functional roles of vitamin A in the vocal folds are still unknown, although vitamin A-storing vocal fold stellate cells have been observed in the macula flava of human and rat vocal folds. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of vitamin A in vocal folds. Methods: Vitamin A-deficient rats were generated, and the vocal folds were examined histologically. Messenger RNA was extracted from the vocal folds and analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Inummohistochemical analysis of normal vocal folds revealed expression of retinoic acid receptor a in vocal fold stellate cells. The cells in the macula flava of vitamin A-deficient rats showed a larger nucleus/cytoplasm ratio than did those of vitamin A-sufficient rats, but messenger RNA expression of major extracellular matrix components in the macula flava of vitamin A-deficient rats did not present a remarkable change except for procollagen type I. Expression of hyaluronic acid, collagen types I and III, and elastin did not show a significant change in vitamin A-deficient rat vocal folds. Conclusions: These results indicate that vitamin A is not essential to maintaining the extracellular matrix of normal adult vocal folds, although vocal fold stellate cells participate in vitamin A storage.

The present study reviewed institutional data and the published literature to better characterize vocal fold leukoplakia. Methods: At our institution, the histopathology, age, and malignant conversion rates of 136 patients (208 biopsies) with vocal fold leukoplakia from 1990 to 2005 were reviewed. Results: No dysplasia (ND), mild and/or moderate dysplasia (MM), and severe dysplasia and/or squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SS) was identified in, respectively, 110 of 208 (53%), 38 of 208 (18%), and 31 of 208 (15%) biopsies. After 30 months (range, 1 to 134 months), malignant transformation was observed in 8 patients on subsequent biopsies. Additionally, a literature search was performed from 1960 to 2005 for the medical subject headings (MeSH) premalignant laryngeal lesions, laryngeal dysplasia, laryngeal leukoplakia, vocal cord dysplasia, and hyperkeratosis of the larynx. Fifteen reports were included for review. When these were combined with our institutional data, 1,173 of 2,188 biopsies (53.6%) revealed ND. Mild and/or moderate dysplasia and SS were present in 717 of 2,140 (33.5%) and 375 of 2,471 (15.2%) biopsies, respectively. Squamous cell carcinoma developed in 52 of 1,388 (3.7%), 83 of 824 (10.1%), and 56 of 310 (18.1%) patients whose initial biopsies demonstrated ND, MM, or SS. Conclusions: More than half of the reported leukoplakia lesions with biopsies showed ND. However, even lesions characterized as ND were associated with an increased risk of development of squamous cell carcinoma. Importantly, the risk of developing malignancy appears to correlate with the severity of dysplasia present on initial biopsy. Because clinical examination does not accurately predict the risk of malignancy, future studies, including genomic evaluation of this lesion, may be necessary to further characterize its biologic behavior.

TI Autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article AB The author proposes the existence of a new entity, autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss, on the basis of diagnostic study and treatment experience with a series of 18 patients. In each case the clinical pattern did not fit with known entities and thus seemed to merit distinctive categorization. In the one patient in whom tissue was available, a vasculitis was evident, a feature of autoinimune disease. All patients responded to treatment for an autoinimune disease, namely, chronic cortisone and cyclophosphamide therapy. The author suggests that all otolaryngologists should be aware of the possibility of this condition, because it is one of the few forms of sensorineural deafness for which we have a treatment.

TI Vascular loop as a cause of vertigo SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article AB A vascular loop in the internal auditory canal pressing upon the vestibular nerve was found in a series of eight patients with episodic vertigo and severe motion intolerance. All patients had failed medical and surgical therapy for vestibular Meniere's disease, which this syndrome closely mimics. A vestibular nerve resection or section medial to the vascular loop produced relief of symptoms in all patients, but one patient required a second operation. We have no test or study to reliably diagnose this syndrome preoperatively. The history appears to be the best indicator to date.

ID TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL PUNCTURE; VOICE REHABILITATION; FOREIGN-BODIES; LARYNGECTOMY; RESTORATION; COMPLICATIONS; EXPERIENCE; INSERTION; ABSCESS; ADULTS AB Tracheoesophageal puncture prostheses (TEPPs) are an integral aspect of speech rehabilitation for many patients who have under-one total laryngectomy. Because one flange of the prosthesis sits in the trachea and the other in the esophagus. these devices can be aspirated or swallowed if dislodged. Five cases of prosthesis aspiration that occurred in 4 veterans within a 16-month period are described. The 5 aspirated TEPPs resulted in highly variable clinical presentations ranging from complaints of "lost" TEPPs in asymptomatic patients to near-asphyxiation. Furthermore, the aspirated TEPPs were not reliably demonstrated on chest radiographs, often leading to delayed diagnosis. Aspiration of TEPPs may be more common than formerly recognized, and chest computed tomography or bronchoscopy is indicated in cases of missing TEPPs not demonstrated on plain films.

The positional maneuvers in the planes of the posterior and horizontal canals elicited BPPV, as well as transitory nystagmus. This was attributed to both the posterior and horizontal semicircular canals (SCCs) on the left side in 1 patient, in these 2 SCCs on the right side in another patient, and to the right posterior SCC in the other 2 patients. The symptoms disappeared after physiotherapeutic maneuvers in 2 patients and spontaneously in the other 2 patients. Cross-country or downhill mountain biking generates frequent vibratory impacts, which are only partially filtered through the suspension fork and the upper parts of the body. Biomechanically, during a moderate jump, before landing, the head is subjected to an acceleration close to negative 1g, and during impact it is subjected to an upward acceleration of more than 2g. Repeated acceleration-deceleration events during intensive off-road biking might generate displacement and/or dislocation of otoconia from the otolithic organs, inducing the typical symptoms of BPPV. This new cause of posttraumatic BPPV should be considered as an injury of minor severity attributed to the practice of mountain biking.

TI Long-term botulinum toxin dose consistency for treatment of adductor spasmodic dysphonia SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE adductor; botulinum toxin; dose; laryngeal dystonia; spasmodic dysphonia ID LARYNGEAL NERVE-SECTION; SPASTIC DYSPHONIA; DYSTONIA; THERAPY; INJECTIONS; EXPERIENCE; MANAGEMENT; RESISTANCE; MUSCLE AB Objectives: Botulinum toxin (BTX) injection is currently the primary and most common treatment for adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD). A variety of injection strategies and dosage regimens have been described. This study reports on our experience with the dosage schedule and dosing consistency of BTX for the treatment of ADSD. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our laryngeal BTX database for the period 1991 to 2005. Our strict inclusion requirements limited our selection to 13 patients who had received a minimum of 6 injections (average, 11.5; range, 6 to 19) of BTX for ADSD. Results: The average total dose of BTX to the larynx for each treatment episode was 3.9 units (range, 1.5 to 7.5). The total dose administered tended to trend downward among patients who began treatment from 1991 to 1998, indicating that the initial dose (usually 2.5 units per side) may have been high. Those patients who began from 1999 onward had a more stable dose, indicating that the initial dose (usually 1.5 units per side) was more suitable. The subjects underwent an average of 2.2 injections (range, 1 to 5) before reaching their optimal BTX dose. The total number of treatments performed in this group of patients was 150, of which 145 were successful (96.7%). Conclusions: The BTX dose for the optimal treatment of ADSD usually remains consistent over time, as does the treatment interval. An initial dose of 1.5 units per side or less appears to improve dosing stability, indicating that the initial dosing of 2.5 units per side in our study was often greater than required. The optimal BTX dose was usually ascertained by the second or third injection. In our patient population, the long-term dosing consistency of BTX confirmed that neither tachyphylaxis nor increasing sensitivity to BTX occurred during the course of treatment for ADSD.

Methods: We present a patient (55-year-old man) who had bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss after traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and brain contusion. Preoperative imaging and functional studies were done, as well as routine tests, to evaluate the possible performance of the cochlear implant. Results: Sensorineural hearing loss developed promptly after head trauma with progressive deterioration. The cause of progressive sensorineural hearing loss remained unknown. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions demonstrated bilateral inner ear (outer hair cell) damage. Highly impaired speech discrimination despite less marked pure tone average elevation and a focal lesion in the left middle temporal gyrus suggested the possibility of coexisting retrocochlear lesions. After thorough discussion of the possible outcomes, cochlear implantation was successfully performed 25 months after the trauma. The patient became able to use a telephone. Conclusions: We advocate that profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss caused by traumatic head injury, even with possible involvement of central auditory pathways, should not be regarded as a contraindication to cochlear implantation, as long as bilateral inner ear dysfunction is clearly demonstrated and there is no obvious evidence of central deafness.

Our aim was to review our experience with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and to calculate the overall risk and the annual incidence of meningitis, and to correlate our findings with the causation and the effect of operative intervention in a subgroup of patients who had a history of meningitis. Methods: We prospectively collected data on all patients referred with a CSF leak to our tertiary referral center over a 12-year period between 1994 and 2006. We had a follow-up rate of 91%. Results: One hundred eleven patients had a proven leak on endoscopy, beta-2 transferrin, imaging, and/or fluorescein lumbar puncture. The accumulated duration of an active CSF leak in the cohort was 190 years. The total number of episodes of meningitis was 57 in 21 patients, giving an overall risk of developing meningitis of 19%, with an overall incidence of 0.3 episodes per year. There was a progressive reduction in the incidence of meningitis with time, and most episodes occurred within the first year following the onset of the CSF leak. However, the risk persisted as long as the CSF leak was active. Conclusions: The overall risk of meningitis in patients with persistent CSF rhinorrhea was 19%. The annual incidence of meningitis was 0.3 episodes per year, with most episodes occurring within the first year following the onset of the leak. Endoscopic closure is the treatment of choice in most CSF leaks; if successful, it reduces the risk of meningitis.

Actual cross-sectional areas of the nasal cavity and actual locations of the nasal valve, the head of the inferior turbinate, the head of the middle turbinate, the ostia of the frontal and maxillary sinuses, and the choana were determined from CT sections perpendicular to the curved acoustic axis of the nasal passage. Results: The AR-measured cross-sectional areas in the anterior nasal cavity were in reasonable agreement with the corresponding areas determined from CT, whereas AR consistently overestimated the passage areas at locations posterior to the paranasal sinus ostia. The nasal valve was identified as a pronounced minimum on the AR area-distance curve. However, AR did not discretely identify the head of the inferior turbinate, the head of the middle turbinate, or the choana. Conclusions: The local minima on the AR area-distance curve beyond the nasal valve are caused by acoustic resonances in the nasal cavity, and do not correspond to any anatomic structure. The AR area overestimation beyond the paranasal sinus ostia is due to the interaction between the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses, rather than to sound loss into the sinuses. Acoustic rhinometry provides no quantitative information on ostium size or sinus volume in either non-deconested or deconested nasal cavities.

TI Chick chorioallantoic membrane as a model for simulating human true vocal folds SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE chorioallantoic membrane; KTP laser; larynx; laser; phonosurgery; pulsed dye laser; vocal cord; vocal fold ID LASER TREATMENT; PAPILLOMATOSIS; DYSPLASIA AB Objectives: Evolving photoangiolytic laser techniques for treating vocal fold lesions motivated the development of a model for research and surgical training. The chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), which is composed of a microvasculature suspended within the egg albumen, simulates the vocal fold microcirculation within the superficial lamina propria (SLP). To characterize this model, we compared measurements of vessel diameters to superficial vessels in human vocal folds. Methods: The diameters of first-, second-, and third-order CAM vessels were measured in fertilized chicken eggs. The superficial blood vessels of the human vocal fold were measured from intraoperative images. Results: According to the branching pattern, vessel segments were identified as first-, second-, or third-order, with average diameters of 0.035 mm (0.02 to 0.1 mm), 0.18 mm (0.12 to 0.41 mm), and 0.8 mm (0.6 to 0.98 mm), respectively. The total vessels measured included 362 first-order, 119 second-order, and 82 third-order vessels. In 10 adult human vocal folds, an average vessel diameter of 0.04 mm (0.015 to 0.1 mm) was observed in 50 vessels. Conclusions: The CAM microvasculature suspended in albumen provides a useful surgical model simulating the microcirculation within the SLP of the human vocal fold. Although first-order CAM vessels best approximate the size of normal vocal fold subepithelial vessels seen at surgery, second- and third-order vessels resemble the vascular abnormalities frequently encountered during microsurgery for phonotraumatic lesions.

The literature covering CMF of the head and neck is reviewed. Methods: The patient chart, including imaging and pathology results, was analyzed. An English-language literature review of skull base CMF was performed. Results: Eighty-seven cases of CMF involving the head and neck have been reported in the scientific literature. Sixty-two cases involved the skull base, temporal bone, nasal cavity, or paranasal sinuses. Including this patient, only 8 cases of CMF isolated to the temporal bone have been reported. Most patients experience insidious onset of symptoms such as hearing loss or headache. A computed tomographic scan best shows the relationship of the tumor to surrounding bone and may show intratumoral calcification. Surgical removal was the treatment most commonly used. Although irradiation has been used in selected cases, it is usually avoided because of the potential risk for malignant transformation. Conclusions: Chondromyxoid fibroma, a slow-growing bone tumor, is exceedingly rare within the mastoid. Its differential diagnosis includes chordoma, chondroid chordoma, and low-grade myxoid chondrosarcoma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. C1 [Otto, Bradley A.; Jacob, Abraham; Welling, D.

We used a methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) technique to investigate whether hypermethylation is one mechanism of HRPT2 gene inactivation in parathyroid tumors. Methods: DNA was extracted from samples of parathyroid tumors embedded in paraffin. MS-PCR was performed on 11 parathyroid carcinomas, 37 sporadic parathyroid adenomas from control subjects, and 6 parathyroid adenomas from 3 patients with HPT-JT. Methylated and unmethylated PCR products from 2 tumors (Nos. 2 and 6) were cloned. Clones containinc, inserts were sequenced. Results: Two of 11 (18%) parathyroid carcinomas showed amplification patterns consistent with methylation, compared to 0 of 37 sporadic parathyroid adenomas, and 1 of 6 (17%) parathyroid tumor samples from 3 HPT-JT patients. These results were confirmed by sequencing multiple clones from each of these samples. Conclusions: There is increasing evidence that loss of HRPT2 gene expression is strongly associated with parathyroid carcinomas. Our data indicate that methylation of the HRPT2 promoter may be another mechanism by which HRPT2 gene inactivation gives rise to parathyroid carcinomas.

Initial confocal microscopy analysis of pepsin uptake by cultured hypopharyngeal epithelial cells revealed that pepsin may be taken up by a specific process. The objective of this study was to use electron microscopy to confirm the initial confocal findings and to determine whether uptake of pepsin by laryngeal epithelial cells is receptor-mediated. Methods: Cultured human hypopharyngeal FaDu cells and human laryngeal biopsy specimens, taken from the posterior larynx of "control" patients without symptoms or findings of laryngopharyngeal reflux, were exposed to purified human pepsin 3b with or without transferrin (a marker for receptor-mediated endocytosis) in vitro. Uptake of pepsin was documented by electron microscopy. Results: Pepsin co-localized with transferrin in intracellular vesicles; this finding confirms that pepsin is taken up by laryngeal epithelial cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Conclusions: This is a novel finding that further defines the role and mechanism of pepsin-mediated injury in laryngopharyngeal reflux. The objective of ongoing research is to identify the receptor and investigate potential antagonists as a new therapeutic option for patients with reflux-attributed disease - in particular, those patients who have persistent symptoms despite acid suppression therapy.

However, there are as yet only a few objective tools to assess technical performance in a laboratory setting. This study assesses three potential objective assessment tools for a traditional otolaryngology laboratory exercise, temporal bone drilling. Methods: We performed a validation study in an academic training program. Nineteen otolaryngology residents performed a cortical mastoidectomy on a cadaveric temporal bone. The participants were divided into two groups, experienced and novice, based on previous temporal bone drilling experience. Performance was rated by two independent, blinded experts using four different assessments, the Global Rating Scale (GRS), the Task-Based Checklist (TBC), the final product analysis (FPA), and expert opinion (130). Results: The interrater reliability for all four assessments was good. Two potential objective assessments, the GRS and the TBC, and the traditional assessment tool of EO, correlated with trainee experience. The FPA, however, did not correlate with trainee experience. A logistic regression analysis of all assessments showed that the TBC correlates with EO. Conclusions: This study validates EO, the GRS, and the TBC as measures of temporal bone drilling performance. Of these measures, the TBC correlates best with EO according to logistic regression and can be reliably used as an objective assessment of temporal bone drilling.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 87th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE difficult laryngeal exposure; obesity; predictor ID TRACHEAL INTUBATION; LARYNGEAL EXPOSURE AB Objectives: This study was intended to 1) identify preoperative predictors of difficult laryngoscopy and 2) determine the role of obesity in difficulty of obtaining adequate laryngeal exposure. Methods: A prospective study was undertaken of 63 patients who were undergoing elective direct laryngoscopy. Thirty-six patients met the obesity criteria (body mass index of at least 30 kg/m2). Measurements of height, weight, and neck circumference and Mallampati and Cormack-Lehane scores were obtained. The ease of laryngeal exposure was recorded by the attending surgeon on a visual analog scale (VAS; I to 10). Difficult laryngeal exposure (DLE) was defined as a VAS score of at least 3. The candidate morphological predictors were investigated. Results: Obesity and Mallampati wore were found to be predictors of DLE (p <.001). The VAS score was positively correlated with body mass index (p =.007), weight (p =.05), Mallampati score (p <.001), and Cormack-Lehane score (p <.001). Among obese patients, the VAS score was correlated with the Cormack-Lehane score (p =.01), whereas in nonobese patients the VAS score showed a significant association with both the Mallampati (p =.02) and Cormack-Lehane (p =.0 1) scores. Conclusions: Obese patients and those with a Mallampati score of at least 2 posed a significantly higher risk of DLE. Preoperative identification of a potentially difficult airway may aid surgical planning and allow more effective communication with a collaborating anesthesiologist.

Methods: One hundred forty-six patients with OSAHS underwent a complete history-taking, physical examination, and laboratory testing, including questions related to GERD symptoms. Full-night attended polysomnography, 24-hour wireless pH study at the upper esophagus, snoring level evaluation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and quality-of-life surveys were completed for each patient. Patients who tested positive for GERD were treated with esomeprazole magnesium 40 mg once daily for 2 to 12 months. The 24-hour pH study was repeated, and those patients with elimination of GERD were reevaluated by polysomnography,snoring level evaluation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, quality-of-life surveys, and subjective data collection. Results: Forty-one patients completed single-dose treatment with esomeprazole, but the repeat 24-hour pH study showed that 9 patients had persistent GERD. In the 29 patients who completed phase 2 with normal pH study findings, the snoring level decreased from 9.7 0.5 to 7.9 1.3 (p <.000 1), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score decreased from 14.2 +/- 2.5 to 11.1 +/- 2.4 (p <.0001), the apnea-hypopnea index decreased from 37.9 +/- 19.1 to 28.8 +/- 11.5 (p =.006), and the minimum saturation of oxygen increased from 84.1 % +/- 7.8% to 86.9% +/- 5.0% (p =.055). Conclusions: Treatment of GERD had a significant impact on the reduction of the apnea-hypopnea index, snoring, and daytime sleepiness. Elimination of GERD should be part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with OSAHS. C1 Rush Univ, Med Ctr, Dept Otolaryngol & Bronchoesophagol, Chicago, IL USA.

We describe the development, validation, and utility of the ASC for use in young children with cochlear implants. Methods: Using the ASC, we measured auditory skills in 37 subjects who received cochlear implants at no more than 36 months of age. Repeated measures analysis was conducted to determine expected auditory skill development after implantation. Interrater reliability was tested on a small subset. The ASC was compared to the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS) to determine its validity in measuring functional auditory skills. Results: The ASC had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, 0.98) and interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.99), and was highly correlated with the IT-MAIS (r = 0.90). According to the repeated measures analysis, children who received a cochlear implant at 36 months of age or earlier were expected to increase their ASC score by 8 points every 3 months (beta coefficient, 8.3; p <.001). Conclusions: The ASC is a clinically relevant and easily administered tool for assessing the functional auditory skills of young children with a cochlear implant. By assessing auditory skill development over time with the ASC, we can better realize expectations for a particular child based on his or her age, hearing loss level, and management strategies in place.

The effectiveness of teaching left-handed trainees to use an otologic drill designed for their dominant hand versus the conventional right-handed drill was examined. Methods: Novice medical students were recruited from the university community. Twenty-four subjects were left-handed, and 12 were right-handed. Eight left-handed surgeons also participated. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the performance of left-handed trainees using novel left-handed drills to that of left-handed trainees using right-handed tools and to that of right-handed trainees using right-handed tools. The evaluation consisted of 3 phases: pretest, skill acquisition, and 2 post-tests.-The measurement tools included expert assessment of performance, and subjective and objective final product analyses. Results: An initial construct validity phase was conducted in which validity of the assessment tools was ensured. Both the left-handers using left-handed tools and the right-handers using right-handed tools significantly outperformed the left-handers using right-handed tools at pretest, immediate posttest, and delayed posttest. All participants improved their performance as a function of practice. Conclusions: The left-handed trainees learned bone drilling better with tools designed for the left hand. These tools may be incorporated into residency training programs for the development of surgical technical skills. Future studies should assess skill transfer between the left-handed and right-handed drills. C1 Univ Toronto, Wilton Ctr Res Educ, Toronto, ON M5G 2C4, Canada.

Our objective was to evaluate the significance of US examination in benign lesions of the vocal folds. Methods: Ultrasonographic examination of the vocal folds was performed in 14 patients in whom benign lesions of the vocal folds had been diagnosed by videolaryngoscopy and microlaryngoscopy. Microlaryngoscopic surgery was performed after US examination. Each lesion was analyzed for the following US features: shape, size, and echotexture (echogenicity and homogeneity). Results: In total, 16 lesions were diagnosed in 14 patients by means of videolaryngoscopy and microlaryngoscopy. Ultrasonographic examination was capable of diagnosing 14 of the 16 lesions (87.25%). Ultrasonography mainly helped in the diagnosis of sessile polyps, nodules, and leukoplakia that were larger than 2 mm. The lesions were linear hyperechoic, heterogeneous hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and isoechoic if they were leukoplakia, nodules, hemorrhagic polyps, and other polypoid lesions, respectively. The results are better if the diagnosis follows the corresponding US echotexture pattern rather than videolaryngoscopy and microlaryngoscopy. Conclusions: Laryngeal US examination appears to be a useful diagnostic tool for supplementing microlaryngoscopy in the assessment of benign lesions of vocal folds. In contrast to these currently used imaging techniques, anesthesia is not necessary in laryngeal US examination.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of tumor stage, type of cordectomy (European Laryngological Society), resection margins, local control, and laryngeal preservation. Results: Of 142 patients treated with curative intent, 79 (92% male; average age, 63 years) were retained for this study, on the basis of availability of information regarding resection margins, the absence of adjuvant radiotherapy, and follow-up of at least 2 years. The tumors were classified pTis (n = 21), pT1a (n = 5 1), or pT1b (n = 7) and were treated by cordectomy types 1 (23%),II (30%),III (27%), IV (6%), and V (14%). The average follow-up was 56 months (range, 24 to 150 months). The overall 5-year actuarial recurrence-free survival rate was 89%, and the 5-year actuarial disease- specific survival rate was 97.3%. There were 11 local recurrences (14%); 7 were treated by another laser resection, 1 by radiotherapy, 1 by supracricoid partial laryngectomy, and 2 by total laryngectomy. The overall rate of final local control with the laser alone was 100% for patients with initially positive margins, 95% for those with initially suspicious margins, and 94% for those with free margins. The overall rate of organ preservation was 100% for patients with positive or suspicious margins and 96% for those with free margins. Margin status (p =.39), cordectomy type (p =.67), and anterior commissure involvement (p =.16) were not statistically related to recurrence (Kaplan-Meier calculations with nonparametric univariate analysis). The recurrence rate was significantly higher for T1b tumors, however (p =.001). Conclusions: Laser microresection provides high rates of local control and organ preservation for early glottic cancer. Positive or suspicious margins were not related to recurrence, nor was anterior commissure involvement. This study implies that suspicious margins can be managed with a "watch- and-wait" attitude. Re-treatment with laser, external partial laryngectomy, and radiotherapy remain therapeutic options for recurrences.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 49 patients at a tertiary care center who underwent modified barium swallow study for dysphagia after chemoradiation. Results: Patients with nonlaryngeal lesions had increased cricopharyngeal impairment (27.8% versus 0.0%; p =.04). Patients who underwent concomitant chemotherapy had increased epiglottic changes relative to those who had radiotherapy alone (66.7% versus 30.8%; p =.05). Clinical pneumonia developed in 31.9% of the patients, and 79.6% required gastrostomy tube placement for a mean duration of 18.1 months. Conclusions: Chemoradiation effects deglutition at multiple levels. A large percentage of patients will develop pneumonia and feeding tube dependence. This study is among the largest to correlate the results of modified barium swallow studies to clinical variables in this patient population. This study highlights the significant incidence of gastrostomy tube dependence and pneumonia in these patients. C1 Univ Penn, Dept Otorhinolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of benign and malignant tumors and cysts in the upper airway in patients who snore. Methods: A retrospective multicenter trial was performed in 4 sleep laboratories. Adult male and female patients whose chief complaint on their first visit was witnessed snoring were enrolled in this study. All of the patients were evaluated by otolaryngologists using nasopharyngeal endoscopy to detect organic diseases in the upper airway. Results: Among 2,923 patients, 2 patients had malignant tumors, 5 had benign tumors, and 2 had cysts in the upper airway. The prevalence of upper airway benign and malignant tumors and cysts among adult male and female patients was 0.24%. Conclusions: Routine detailed nasopharyngeal endoscopy should be carried out in each institution so as not to overlook organic diseases in the upper airway among patients who snore.

Side population (SP) cells are defined as cells that have the ability to exclude the DNA binding dye, Hoechst 33342. They are regarded as a cell population enriched with stem cells and can be isolated from non-SP cells by a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. This study was designed to determine whether SP cells exist in the human vocal fold, as a first step in elucidating the regenerative mechanisms of the vocal fold. Methods: Seven human excised larynges were used in this study. Two were used for fluuorescence- activated cell sorter analysis, and 5 were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis with antibodies against an adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter family member, ABCG2, which is expressed in SP cells. Results: The number of SP cells in the human vocal fold was about 0.2% of the total number of cells. ABCG2-positive cells were identified in both the epithelium and subepithelial tissue throughout the entire vocal fold. Conclusions: This preliminary study demonstrated the existence of SP cells in the human vocal fold. Further studies are warranted to clarify how these cells work in the vocal fold, particularly in the regenerative process.

This study investigated temperature changes and thermal trauma during thulium laser dissection of laryngeal tissue, with and without air cooling, in an ex vivo model. Methods: A continuous-wave thulium laser (400-mu m fiber, 4-W continuous power, 4-second duration) was used to incise 10 calf vocal folds. Paired cooled and uncooled cuts were made in each fold with a dermatologic cooling device. A thermistor inserted into the glottic subepithelium was used to measure tissue temperatures. Thermal damage was analyzed histologically by measuring the depth of the zone of lactate dehydrogenase inactivation surrounding the mucosal incision. Results: The initial vocal fold temperature averaged 24.3 degrees C without cooling and 4.4 degrees C with cooling. The peak temperature during cutting averaged 59.1 degrees C without cooling and 28.0 degrees C with cooling. The thermal damage zone surrounding the cooled incisions was approximately 27% less than that surrounding the uncooled incisions. Conclusions: Air cooling can reduce the extent of thermal trauma associated with thulium laser surgery of the vocal folds, and the high-temperature plume. generated during laser cutting is effectively cleared.

A non-treatment- seeking, elderly cohort was surveyed to provide preliminary evidence regarding the prevalence, risks, and socioemotional effects of swallowing disorders. Methods: Using a prospective, cross-sectional survey design, we interviewed 117 seniors living independently in Utah and Kentucky (39 men and 78 women; mean age, 76.1 years; SD, 8.5 years; range, 65 to 94 years) regarding 4 primary areas related to swallowing disorders: lifetime and current prevalence, symptoms and signs, risk and protective factors, and socioemotional consequences. Results: The lifetime prevalence of a swallowing disorder was 38%, and 33% of the participants reported a current problem. Most seniors with dysphagia described a sudden onset with chronic problems that had persisted for at least 4 weeks. Stepwise logistic regression identified 3 primary symptoms uniquely associated with a history of swallowing disorders: taking a longer time to eat (odds ratio [OR], 9.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3 to 40.2); coughing, throat clearing, or choking before, during, or after eating (OR, 3.4; 95 % CI, 1. 1 to 10.2); and a sensation of food stuck in the throat (OR, 5.2; 95% CL 1.8 to 10.0). Stroke (p =.02), esophageal reflux (p =.003), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p =.05), and chronic pain (p =.03) were medical conditions associated with a history of dysphagia. Furthermore, dysphagia produced numerous adverse socioemotional effects. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence to suggest that chronic swallowing disorders are common among the elderly, and highlights the need for larger epidemiological studies of these disorders.

TI Ex vivo perfused larynx model of phonation: Preliminary study SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Meeting of the American-Laryngological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Laryngol Assoc DE ex vivo model; larynx; perfusion; physiology AB Objectives: Although excised laryngeal models and physical models of the larynx are important in the study of laryngeal dynamics, they cannot be used to study the influence of neuromuscular contraction on vocal fold vibration, especially with regard to the thyroarytenoid muscle. Our aim was to develop an ex vivo larynx model of phonation, and combine the benefits of the in vivo and excised laryngeal models to the ex vivo situation. Methods: Three canine larynges were surgically removed and perfused ex vivo with modified Krebs-Henseleit reperfusion solution. The laryngeal nerves were stimulated, and an assessment of neuromuscular viability, phonation, and vocal fold vibration was made. Results: Neuromuscular stimulation, phonation, and experimental manipulation were possible for several hours after the onset of ex vivo perfusion. Repeatable periodic phonation in short bursts was achieved. Perfusion appears critical to maintain ex vivo viability, as adductory force was almost immediately lost upon cessation of ex vivo perfusion. Conclusions: The ex vivo larynx model has the potential to facilitate the measurement of glottal variables in a neuro-muscularly correct model. We propose that the further development of this laryngeal model may be useful in the study of laryngeal dynamics, particularly when invasive measurements, such as that of glottal exit flow, are required.

Methods: In a consecutive cohort design, a speech and language therapist treated a small cohort (n = 15) of dysphonic patients with voice therapy alone. After a brief period of CBT training, she treated the next cohort of dysphonic patients (n = 13) with CBT enhanced voice therapy. Pretreatment and posttreatment measures were taken of voice quality and voice-related quality of life. The General Health Questionnaire 28 and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used to assess psychological distress and general well-being. Results: All voice measures improved significantly in both cohorts. Both groups improved significantly on the General Health Questionnaire 28, with the CBT group improving significantly more than the control group. Only the CBT group improved significantly on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (depression subscale). Conclusions: Despite limitations of size, design, and between-group baseline differences, the results support the hypothesis that the addition of CBT skills to existing voice therapy is both feasible and clinically effective in the treatment of functional dysphonia.

Methods: Retrospective review of the clinical and operative records was done regarding 39 cases of NPA that were surgically managed from 1995 to 2005. The duration of the surgical procedures, amount of blood loss and transfusion, time to recurrence, frequency of recurrence, functional and cosmetic deformity, and complications of all surgical procedures were thoroughly analyzed. These parameters were compared with total maxillary swing, a new approach recently being used by us, for the one-time excision of NPA. Results: A total of 61 operations including revision surgeries for recurrences were done in the 39 cases of NPA. Conventional surgical approaches were performed in 37 cases, and the total maxillary swing approach was used in 2 cases. This new approach provided a wider surgical exposure for complete tumor resection and better hemostasis without any recurrence or major functional deformity, which were seen with some of the conventional approaches. Conclusions: We found total maxillary swing to be a relatively safe alternate approach for the resection of NPA. We removed the entire tumors in a wider surgical field under the microscope with reduced blood loss and minimal complications or chance of recurrences.

Methods: Twelve temporal bones from patients who underwent cochlear implantation during life were prepared for histologic study. The specimens were reconstructed by both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional methods. These reconstructions were used to calculate the total volume and distribution of new bone and new fibrous tissue in the cochlea, the number of spiral ganglion cells, and other histopathologic parameters. Clinical data, including the last-recorded word recognition scores, were obtained from the patients' medical records. Results: New bone and new fibrous tissue were found in all 12 specimens, particularly at the site of cochleostomy. There was a significant correlation between overall damage to the lateral cochlear wall and the total volume of intracochlear new tissue (Spearman rho = .853; p = .0004). The total volume of new tissue did not correlate with word recognition scores or spiral ganglion cell counts. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that the degree of damage to the lateral cochlear wall may play an important role in influencing the amount of new tissue formation following cochlear implantation. Intracochlear new tissue does not appear to be an important determinant of performance as measured by word recognition scores or the total number of remaining spiral ganglion cells.

Methods: Fundamental frequency nasalance measures were reported for 2 groups of women: 36 trained singers and 36 nonsingers. Each group sang and sustained the vowels (/i/, /ae/, /u/, /a/) for 6 seconds' duration at 3 frequency levels. A 3-second segment from the middle of each vowel was measured to generate fundamental frequency nasalance scores. Results: No significant differences were found in the mean fundamental frequency nasalance scores between the trained singers and the nonsingers. The fundamental frequency nasalance scores were significantly higher for front vowels for both groups. Additionally, both groups displayed a pattern of producing significantly higher fundamental frequency nasalance scores at lower fundamental frequencies than at higher fundamental frequencies. Conclusions: These findings support the practice of training singers to elevate the velum when singing at high frequencies but not when singing at low ones.

The pattern of deglutition during sleep was investigated in children. Methods: Ten normal human children (8.6 +/- 2.9 years) were examined via time-matched recordings of polysomnography and of surface electromyography (EMG) of the thyrohyoid and suprahyoid muscles. Results: During sleep, deglutition was episodic, and it was absent for long periods. The mean number of swallows per hour ( +/- SD) during the total sleep time was 2.8 +/- 1.7 per hour. The mean period of the longest absence of deglutition was 59.7 +/- 20.3 minutes. Most deglutition occurred in association with spontaneous electroencephalographic arousal in rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. Deglutition was related to sleep stage. The mean number of swallows per hour was 27.4 +/- 27.4 during stage 1 sleep, 3.1 +/- 3.5 during stage 2 sleep, 2.8 +/- 3.3 during stage 3 sleep, and 0.9 +/- 0.8 during stage 4 sleep. The deeper the sleep stage became, the lower the mean deglutition frequency became. The mean number of swallows per hour was 2.2 +/- 2.1 during REM sleep. The EMG amplitude dropped to the lowest level of recording during REM sleep. Conclusions: Deglutition, a vital function, is infrequent during sleep in children.

Methods: Fifty-one patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx were included in this prospective study. The patients were treated with 3 courses of cisplatin (100 mg at 1 treatment, intra-arterial) and sodium thiosulfate (28 g at 1 treatment, intravenous) once every 2 weeks during concurrent radiotherapy (66 to 70 Gy, 2 Gy per fraction, daily for 5 days over 7 weeks). Nodal metastases larger than 3 cm in diameter were treated with an additional 50 mg of cisplatin. The patients with less than 50% tumor reduction after 40 Gy and 2 courses of chemotherapy were treated with surgery. Results: The protocol was completed for 49 patients. All living patients had a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. Including the 3 patients with salvage surgery, local disease-free control was achieved in 39 patients (80%). For 36 patients (73.5%), disease-free primary organs were preserved at 2 years after treatment. Locoregional disease-free control for 2 years was obtained for 38 patients (77.6%), in 30 of them without salvage surgery. The patients treated with surgery had an overall survival rate similar to that of the patients with a complete response (80% and 84.6%, respectively). The patients with a partial response had a worse prognosis (40%; p = .0069). Conclusions: This treatment regimen is feasible and effective for advanced resectable head and neck cancer.

Previous studies have indicated that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a strong antifibrotic element, has therapeutic potential for restoring scarred vocal folds. To enhance the effect of HGF in vivo, we developed a novel drug delivery system (DDS) in which HGF is embedded in gelatin hydrogel and continuously released over a period of 2 weeks. In the present study we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of the HGF DDS on vocal fold scarring by using a canine model. Methods: The vocal folds of 8 beagles were unilaterally scarred by stripping the entire layer of the lamina propria. The contralateral vocal folds were kept intact as normal controls. One month after the procedure, hydrogels (0.5 mL) containing 1 mu g of HGF were injected into the scarred vocal folds of 4 dogs (HGF-treated group), whereas hydrogels containing saline solution were injected in the other 4 dogs (sham group). Histologic and vibratory examinations were completed for each group 6 months after the initial surgery. Results: The excised larynx experiments showed significantly better vibration in terms of mucosal wave amplitude and glottal closure in the HGF-treated group compared to the sham group. Histologic evaluation of the vocal folds indicated remarkable reduction in collagen deposition and tissue contraction, with favorable restoration of hyaluronic acid and elastin in the HGF-treated group. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that the novel HGF DDS may provide favorable effects in restoring the vibratory properties of scarred vocal folds.

Methods: We performed a preliminary study with excised human and canine larynges. A nail-shaped stainless steel rod and an insertion device were designed for an in vivo animal trial. After unilateral recurrent laryngeal denervation surgery in 5 adult mongrel dogs, the implants were inserted endoscopically through a small mucosal incision over the cricoarytenoid joint. Acoustic and aerodynamic data were obtained from each animal before serial euthanasia followed by examination of the excised larynges. Results: The canine cricoid cartilage demonstrated adequate marrow space for implantation. We found that the arytenoid cartilage was successfully medialized and tightly fixed over a sufficient period of time just by inserting an implant in the cricoid cartilage. The animal study showed that the implantation procedure was relatively easy and relatively safe. Acoustic and aerodynamic studies confirmed the functional improvement of the voice. Histopathologic study revealed a favorable tissue response to the implant. Conclusions: Endoscopic arytenoid adduction using a cricoid implant is feasible and could be a noninvasive surgical option for the treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis.

The aim of this study was the morphological analysis of Plastipore material performance in the middle ear of rats, with special attention to extrusion. Methods: Twenty-four Wistar rats were given implants made of commercially available Plastipore and assigned to 3 groups: group A, with implantation in a healthy middle ear; group B, with implantation and cauterization of the nasopharyngeal orifice of the eustachian tube (hypoventilation); and group C, with implantation, cauterization of the eustachian tube, and bacterial inoculation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: The pathological study showed in nearly all cases the disintegration of the biomaterial. Adhesion between the biomaterial and bone could be seen in 1 rat from group C (hypoventilation and infection). In group C, the Plastipore was in contact with the tympanic membrane in 1 case and was extruding in 2 animals. Different phases of extrusion were defined. No extrusion was observed in the other groups. Conclusions: The sequential stages of Plastipore extrusion are demonstrated. Infection seems to be the most important factor in Plastipore extrusion in our model. C1 Autonomous Univ Madrid, Univ Hosp Puerta Hierro, Ear Res Grp, Dept Otorhinolaryngol, E-28049 Madrid, Spain.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether vitamin A deficiency affects prenatal laryngeal development in rats. Methods: Two considerations were necessary in designing a study using a rat model: for embryonic survival, vitamin A is necessary through day 10 of gestation, and laryngeal formation occurs primarily after day 11. Thus, we created a rat model that developed vitamin A deficiency after embryonic day 11. Ten pregnant rats (5 vitamin A-deficient rats and 5 control rats) were studied. Embryos were collected at embryonic day 18.5 and analyzed histologically. Results: Eighteen percent of the vitamin A-deficient embryos were alive and demonstrated laryngotracheal cartilage malformation, incomplete separation of the glottis, and/or laryngoesophageal clefts. Conclusions: These results document the important role played by vitamin A in laryngeal development. C1 Univ Wisconsin, Div Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Dept Surg, Madison, WI USA.

The natural passages through the oral cavity, nose, and pharynx have provided an accessible gateway to the larynx that has allowed for rapid translation of a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Transoral and transcervical laryngeal surgery have been further facilitated by progressive advancements in local, topical, intravenous, and general anesthesia. With rapid developments in engineering disciplines (ie, tissue, chemical, mechanical) and voice science, there are a variety of current and near-term opportunities to advance our field. This report represents a panel at the 2005 American Broncho-Esophagological Association meeting that sought to use present perspectives, combined with cutting-edge research insights, to provide foresight into key aspects of laryngology that we believe will be developed by the year 2020. We hope that aspiring laryngeal surgeons will find elements of this discussion valuable for devising a strategic roadmap for research initiatives in laryngology and laryngeal surgery.

TI Monitoring tracheal tube cuff pressures in the intensive care unit: A comparison of digital palpation and manometry SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 87th Annual Meeting of the American-Broncho-Esophagological-Association CY APR 26-27, 2007 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Broncho Esophagol Assoc DE cuff; intubation; pressure; trachea; tracheotomy ID ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION; BLOOD-FLOW AB Objectives: Tracheal tube cuff overinflation is a recognized risk factor for tracheal injury and stenosis. International studies report a 55% to 62% incidence of cuff overinflation among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, there are no data on tracheotomy tubes, and no recent data from ICUs in the United States. It is unknown whether routine cuff pressure measurement is beneficial. We sought to determine the incidence of cuff overinflation in the contemporary American ICU. Methods: We performed an Institutional Review Board-approved, prospective, observational study of endotracheal and tracheotomy tubes at 2 tertiary-care academic hospitals that monitor cuff pressure differently. At hospital A, cuff pressures are assessed by palpation; at hospital B, cuff pressures are measured via manometry. We audited cuff pressures in an unannounced fashion at these hospitals, using a handheld aneroid manometer. Cuffs were considered overinflated above 25 cm H2O. Results: We enrolled 115 patients: 63 at hospital A and 52 at hospital B. Overall, 44 patients (38%) were found to have overinflated cuffs. The incidence of overinflation was identical at the 2 hospitals (38%; p = .99). Of the endotracheal tubes, 43% were overinflated, as were 32% of the tracheotomy tubes (p = .24). Conclusions: Despite increasing awareness among intensivists and respiratory therapists, the incidence of tracheal tube overinflation remains high, with both endotracheal and tracheotomy tubes. Our finding that the use of manometry to assess cuff pressures did not reduce the incidence of overinflation suggests that a more vigilant management protocol may be necessary.

TI Myosin heavy chain composition and fiber size of the cricopharyngeus muscle in patients with achalasia and normal subjects SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cricopharyngeus; dysphagia; myosin ID UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; SINGLE-FIBER; PLASTICITY AB Objectives: Cricopharyngeal achalasia (CA) can be defined as inadequate opening of the cricopharyngeus muscle (CPM) resulting in dysphagia. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform fiber type cornposition and size are key determinants of muscle function. These parameters have not been described in CA. It is hypothesized that there is a difference between the MHC isoform composition of the CPM in patients with the clinical diagnosis of CA and that in normal subjects. Methods: Patients who had received prior botulinum were excluded. The MHC fiber type composition and size in patients and cadaveric controls were determined by adenosine triphosphatase staining and image analysis. Results: The CPMs of 12 CA patients (6 male, 6 female; mean age, 61 years) and 5 control cadaveric Subjects (3 male, 2 female; mean age, 67 years) were analyzed. There were relatively fewer type I fibers (67%) in patients with CA than in controls (81%), but the difference was not significant (p = .18). Type I fibers were slightly smaller in CA patients (38.7 mu m) than in controls (47.2 mu m), but this was not significantly different (p > .05). Of the 12 CA patients, 3 had type II predominance, a feature not seen in normal Subjects. Conclusions: Patients with CA had relatively fewer type I fibers, although the difference was not statistically significant. The MHC isoform composition and fiber size were not different between CA patients and normal subjects. This is the first report to characterize the CPM in patients with CA.

If so, bone scanning technologies capable of detecting osteitis may be useful in diagnosing this condition and its response to treatment. The objective of this prospective cohort Study was to determine the correlation of single photon emission Computed tomography (SPECT) bone scintigraphy with the histopathology of the ethmoid bulla. Methods: Thirty-six patients with a diagnosis of chronic sinusitis who were scheduled to undergo Sinus surgery underwent a presurgical SPECT bone scan using technetium 99m-methylene diphosphonate. All bone scans were done within 5 days of surgery. During the procedure, bone samples from the face of the ethmoid bulla were obtained and examined by a pathologist blinded to the bone scan result. In this Study, histopathology consistent with osteitis was defined as a change from lamellar to woven bone. A positive bone scan was defined by the presence of increased radiotracer uptake in the ethmoid Sinuses. Results: Thirty-two of the 36 patients had a positive bone scan on SPECT imaging, and 31 specimens demonstrated histopathologic bone changes consistent with osteitis, for a sensitivity of 93.9%. An additional 4 patients had a negative bone scan on SPECT imaging, and osteitis was identified in 2 of the 4. The specificity was 66.7%, and the positive predictive value was 96.9%. Conclusions: We found that SPECT bone scanning with technetium 99m-methylene diphosphonate is a highly sensitive test for identifying osteitis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. It may be a useful tool in the armamentarium of the otolaryngologist to better define this disease process. C1 Lahey Clin Fdn, Dept Otorhinolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Burlington, MA 01805 USA.

The aim of this study was to determine how children use cues from anterior-posterior optic flow for balance from 4 to 8 years of age. Methods: One hundred forty-eight children were enrolled. The subjects had yearly otologic and posturographic examinations between the ages of 4 and 8 years. Balance was assessed only if the subject had no evidence of middle ear effusion. The subject stood for 30 seconds with eyes open without optic flow and for 30 seconds while viewing 0.1, 0.25, and 0.4 Hz anterior-posterior optic flow. The center of pressure (COP) was recorded from the force platform. The root-mean-square of the COP during the periods of quiet stance and with optic flow was computed. Results: The root-mean-square COP was significantly larger during the optic flow stimulation as compared with during quiet stance. The subjects had a significant decrease in COP during optic flow from year 5 to year 6 of life (p = .005). Conclusions: A change in the response to optic flow was seen from age 5 to age 6. This change is consistent with transitional changes in postural responses that have been observed during quiet standing.

The origin of these lesions is uncertain. Although most are asymptomatic, symptoms can include headaches, facial pain, rhinorrhea, and sinusitis. Osteomas are also seen as part of Gardner's syndrome, an autosomal dominant disease characterized by intestinal polyposis, osteomas, and cutaneous and soft tissue tumors. In affected individuals, the risk of developing colon cancer approaches 100%. On average, osteomas are detected 17 years before colon polyps appear. Methods: Three patients with maxillary or ethmoid osteomas and chronic sinusitis are presented. Results: One of the patients had evidence of Gardner's syndrome, based on the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms and a positive family history of polyposis. Conclusions: Otolaryngologists should be aware of the possibility of Gardner's syndrome in patients with paranasal sinus osteomas. Suspected patients should have a complete workup for Gardner's syndrome, including lower gastrointestinal tract endoscopy, barium enema imaging, and DNA testing.

Improper removal or neglect of BCC is a particular problem for head and neck surgeons. We describe a case of a recurrent BCC that aggressively grew from the forehead skin through the skull and into the frontal lobe. We also present a review of the literature. Despite its fairly benign growth pattern, BCC should never be underestimated, and care should be taken not only in the complete primary excision but also in cancer surveillance.

Methods: We used a guinea pig model of ME wound healing. In a long-term study, we performed a comparison of hearing and ME inflammation in 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 8) underwent bilateral wounding of ME mucosa and unilateral packing of the ME with HA gel (Sepragel). Group 2 (n = 6) was the same as group 1 except that the packing was absorbable bovine collagen sponges (Gelfoam). Group 3, the control group (n 14), had operated, unpacked ears. In a short-term study, we investigated ME retention of HA gel at 1 and 2 weeks (n 16). Results: At 1 week, all ears showed decreased distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and auditory brain stem responses (ABRs) secondary to ME packing and postsurgical inflammation. The controls recovered preoperative DPOAEs and ABRs by week 2. Group 1 had decreased low-frequency DPOAEs at weeks 2 and 6, but their high-frequency DPOAEs and ABRs recovered to preoperative values by week 6. Group 2 had hearing losses that persisted throughout the study. Group 1 showed normal ME and inner ear histologic characteristics. Group 2 showed inflammatory cells within the ME and cochleas. Group 1 showed less packing retention than did group 2 at week 6 (p = .016). Eighty-five percent of the HA packing remained at 1 week, and 73% at 2 weeks. Conclusions: Hyaluronan gel was a relatively safe and effective ME packing material in our animal model. C1 Univ Miami, Ear Inst, Dept Otolaryngol, Miller Sch Med, Miami, FL 33136 USA.

Methods: Preoperative MRI staging was used to assess 22 patients with IPs. In addition to the Krouse staging system, T3 cases were categorized as subgroup T3-B if tumors extended into the frontal sinus or the supraorbital recess; otherwise, they were categorized as T3-A. Standard endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) was the first choice for T1 and T2 cases. Endoscopic approaches, including ESS combined with endoscope-assisted transantral approach and endoscopic medial maxillectomy, were considered in T3-A cases, and external approaches were considered in T3-B cases. Patients were followed for a minimum of 1 year after surgery. Results: Preoperative MRI staging and postoperative staging were coincident in 21 of the 22 patients (95%). All 8 T2 cases were treated by an endoscopic approach. Of 10 T3-A cases, 9 (90%) were treated by an endoscopic approach and 1 (residual case) was treated by an external approach. All 3 of the T3-B cases underwent an external approach. One T4 case with malignant transformation underwent an external approach followed by radiotherapy. After a median follow-up period of 22 months, none of the 22 patients had had a recurrence. No major complications were observed after endoscopic approaches, but epiphora or hemorrhage requiring transfusion occurred in 3 of the 5 patients (60%) who underwent external approaches. Conclusions: Preoperative staging of IP by MRI is useful for selecting cases that can be managed by endoscopic approaches, resulting in lower rates of tumor recurrence and morbidity.

Methods: We measured the total length, the cross-sectional area of the bony frame, and the air space of the ET lumen at an interval of 1 mm on the reconstructed computed tomographic images of the ET using a multiplanar reconstruction method on 20 normal subjects (control group) and 25 patients with stenotic ET judged by the inflation test (stenotic group). Results: In the cross-sectional areas, both the bony frame and air space were significantly smaller in the stenotic group than in the control group. The soft tissue ratio was significantly greater in most parts of the mid-bony portion and the tympanic orifice of the stenotic group than in those of the control group. At the anterior tip of the bony portion, only the bony frame was found to be significantly smaller in the stenotic group than in the control group. Conclusions: We suggest that a smaller framework of the bony ET may possibly be related to the pathogenesis of ET stenosis.

However, the use of one single flash timing cannot give a clear view of abnormal vocal fold oscillations that have multiple fundamental frequencies. Visualization of such complex vocal fold movements will be helpful in the diagnosis of diplophonia, a pathological condition in which the vocal folds produce multiple tones at the same time. Methods: We developed a new stroboscopy-based technique using multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and image analysis. Specific flash timings for each LED, suitable for accurate visualization, were determined on a computer according to an algorithm based on frequency analysis. The image analysis extracted the necessary parts of the captured images to yield a clear slow-motion view of the oscillations. The series of visualization procedures took advantage of the narrow-spectrum light property of LEDs, thereby yielding a degradation-free picture. Results: Feasibility tests using a mechanical vocal fold model demonstrated that this computer-assisted system allows observation of the pathological oscillatory patterns as one single video. They would not be clearly visualized by conventional stroboscopy. Conclusions: Because of its relatively simple use and inexpensive construction, the proposed technique can become one potential option for clinical assessment of pathological vocal fold oscillations.

Methods: Twenty speakers with ADSD provided speech recordings. They judged their own speech samples for OS and VE and completed the Voice Handicap Index (VHI). Twenty naive and 8 experienced listeners evaluated speech samples for OS, VE, and LC using rating scales. Results: No differences were found for judgments of OS, VE, or LC across the groups. However, the strategies used by the speakers seemed to differ from those used by the other listeners in making OS and VE judgments. The speakers' self-judged VE correlated moderately with voice handicap; experienced and naive listeners' judgments were only weakly related to VHI scores. Conclusions: Speakers with ADSD and listeners appear to use auditory-perceptual dimensions differently. Voice handicap is best predicted by patient-perceived VE, and not by clinician or naive listeners' judgments. C1 Univ Washington, Dept Speech & Hearing Sci, Seattle, WA 98105 USA.

An understanding of this manifestation is crucial to guide management and treatment of this disease. Methods: A patient who presented with facial nerve weakness and a painful mass of the parotid gland underwent fine needle aspiration, laboratory testing, and computed tomography of the neck that demonstrated a large parotid malignancy. The patient underwent surgical treatment followed by radiotherapy. Histologic and immunohistochemical examination of the specimen was performed. Results: This report of a slow-growing parotid mass with otalgia and facial nerve weakness was treated with radical parotidectomy, supraomohyoid neck dissection, and cable graft repair of the excised facial nerve, which was completely encircled by tumor. Postoperative radiotherapy was administered. Histologic and immunohistochemical evaluation demonstrated carcinosarcoma. Conclusions: Carcinosarcoma is an unusual tumor of the parotid gland. Treatment generally involves surgery with subsequent radiotherapy. Long-term close follow-up is recommended, for this tumor has a high propensity for both local and regional recurrence and metastasis.

Methods: Twenty-nine patients were analyzed and underwent this surgical technique. Twelve patients had, during the same or later stage, either cochlear implantation, fixture implantation for a bone-anchored hearing aid, or middle ear implantation. For follow-up control of the obliterated cavity, delayed gadolinium-enhanced, T1-weighted MRI in combination with non-echo planar imaging diffusion weighted sequences were used. Results: No patient had recurrent otorrhea after an average follow-up period of 4.75 years. One patient had a residual cholesteatoma as shown by new MRI techniques, and this was successfully resected. One patient developed complications 6 months after 1-stage tympanomastoid exenteration and cochlear implantation. Conclusions: This technique is very useful in selected patients with severe chronic otitis media that is resistant to medical therapy and surgery and is associated with a profound sensorineural or severe conductive hearing loss. New sequences in MRI are used for postoperative follow-up of these obliterated cavities and seem reliable for the detection of residual or recurrent cholesteatoma. Middle car implantation and cochlear implantation can be relatively safely performed in these patients in a second stage. C1 Sint Augustinus Hosp, Univ Dept ENT, B-2610 Antwerp, Belgium.

TI Measuring edema in irradiated head and neck cancer patients SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 12th British Academic Conference on Otolaryngoloyg CY JUL 06-08, 2006 CL Birmingham, ENGLAND DE edema; head and neck cancer; larynx; pharynx; radiotherapy; side effect. ID RADIATION-THERAPY; RELIABILITY; TOXICITY; LARYNX AB Objectives: Edema is a common side effect of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Systems have been developed to record and monitor changes that occur after radiotherapy. These lack the sensitivity to record edema in specific laryngopharyngeal structures. The aim of this study was to develop a rating scale to measure edema in the larynx and pharynx. Methods: This was an exploratory study to develop a new measure, with the help of an expert panel, assessing interrater and intrarater reliability. A consensus group developed the rating scale. Eleven structures and 2 spaces were identified as areas sensitive to the development of edema. The terms no, mild, moderate, and severe were used to describe the degrees of edema. The scale was piloted and then tested for interrater and intrarater reliability on 5 speech and language therapists. They viewed 25 nasendolaryngoscopic images (23 patients who had had radiotherapy and 2 healthy volunteers). The images were rated with the scale. This process was repeated 1 week later. Results: Images were taken from patients with oral, oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, or laryngeal cancer. All had had radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. All raters were experienced in viewing larynges via nasendolaryngoscopy. The interrater reliability for scoring the edema rating scale was moderate (weighted kappa, 0.54). Lower levels of agreement were found for the tongue base, valleculae, pharyngeal walls, and anterior commissure. The intrarater reliability was very good (weighted kappa, 0.84). Conclusions: The edema rating scale can be scored with very good test-retest reproducibility and moderate levels of agreement between clinicians. Modifications to the method are suggested to increase interrater reliability. C1 Univ Newcastle, Ctr Hlth Serv Res, Dept Surg & Reprod Sci, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE2 4AA, Tyne & Wear, England.

Methods: Thirty-two adults with recurrent tonsillitis who were scheduled for elective tonsillectomy were randomized to either thermal welding or cold dissection tonsillectomy groups. The main outcome measures included intraoperative blood loss, intensity of postoperative pain expressed on a 10-cm visual analog scale (with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst possible pain), day of cessation of significant pain (ie, a pain score of at least 7), and presence of postoperative hemorrhage estimated on a 3-point scale (with 0 representing no bleeding, 1 representing minor bleeding, and 2 representing major bleeding). Additional outcome measures included total analgesic requirements, last day of receipt of analgesics, presence of nausea and/or vomiting, and wound healing after 10 days of surgery. Results: The rate of intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the thermal welding group (p < .0001). Patients who had thermal welding tonsillectomy also showed a general trend toward lower pain scores, and this difference was statistically significant from the first to the fourth postoperative days (p < .05). Cessation of significant pain also occurred 3 days earlier in this group (p < .05). No significant difference was observed regarding pain medication, nausea and/or vomiting, postoperative hemorrhage, or wound healing. Conclusions: Thermal welding tonsillectomy is a relatively safe and reliable method with significantly less postoperative morbidity than cold dissection tonsillectomy.

Direct microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (MLB) is performed for diagnostic information as to the extent and severity of the inflammation caused by gastric refluxate. Esophagoscopy with multilevel biopsy performed at the time of MLB may provide the clinician with additional information to assist in the management of EERD. We undertook to determine the role of multilevel esophageal biopsy in children who have airway manifestations secondary to EERD. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of 139 esophagoscopies with multilevel biopsy done at the time of MLB by a single provider for evaluation of symptoms highly associated with EERD at a tertiary care children's hospital. The histopathologic presence of esophagitis was analyzed by site and compared to the presence and location of tracheo-laryngeal abnormalities. Results: Tracheolaryngeal abnormalities associated with EERD were found in 97% of patients when evaluated by MLB. Concomitant esophagitis was found in 59% of these patients. Of patients who had 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 positive findings on MLB, 75% (3 of 4), 58% (7 of 12), 57% (20 of 35),62% (32 of 51),56% (18 of 32), and 80% (4 of 5), respectively, had at least I positive biopsy. Conclusions: We found that EERD that affects the pediatric upper airway was associated with esophagitis in more than half of the patients. The usefulness of 4-level biopsies during esophagoscopy and concomitant airway endoscopy will be discussed. C1 SUNY Buffalo, Sch Med & Biomed Sci, Dept Otolaryngol, Buffalo, NY 14260 USA.

Methods: We analyzed 110 cases of vocal fold immobility by their clinical manifestations and LEMG characteristics, including spontaneous potential activity, motor unit potential measurement, recruitment pattern analysis, and evoked LEMG signals. Results: With LEMG, we identified 87 patients with neuropathic laryngeal injuries. Neurogenic vocal fold immobility showed a wide variety of abnormal activity. Fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves were found in patients with laryngeal nerve injuries. For laryngeal paralysis, there was no reaction with LEMG and evoked LEMG. For incomplete laryngeal paralysis, decreased evoked LEMG signals were also seen with delayed latency (thyroarytenoid muscle, 2.2 +/- 1.0 ms, p < .0 1; posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, 2.4 +/- 1.0 ms, p < .05) and lower amplitude (thyroarytenoid muscle, 0.9 +/- 0.7 mV, p < .05; posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, 1.2 +/- 1.0 mV, p < .01). Nineteen patients with vocal fold mechanical limitations generally had normal LEMG and evoked LEMG signals. Four patients with neoplastic infiltration of the laryngeal muscles demonstrated abnormal LEMG signals but nearly normal evoked LEMG signals. Conclusions: We conclude that LEMG and evoked LEMG behavior plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of vocal fold immobility. The decreased recruitment activities on LEMG and the decreased evoked LEMG signals with longer latency and lower amplitude reflect the severity of neuropathic laryngeal injury.

LPSDTs have been used to stratify patient risk status with regard to aspiration and to guide dietary management. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of LPSDT testing among a group of examiners with differing levels of testing experience. Methods: Twenty-seven healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study to elicit LPSDTs for intraobserver and interobserver reliability measurements. The examiners represented 3 levels of testing experience: an attending laryngologist, a laryngology fellow, and an otolaryngology resident. With the examiners blinded to test results, each subject was examined twice by one examiner and once by a different examiner in an alternating fashion. Results: Six subjects were unable to tolerate the examinations because of coughing and gagging. Spearman rank correlations revealed strong intraobserver reliability for the experienced endoscopists (ie, attending and fellow) but poor reliability for the novice endoscopist (ie, resident). Poor interobserver reliability regardless of endoscopy experience was found. Eighteen percent of the participants demonstrated LPSDTs of more than 4.0 mm Hg (above normal). Conclusions: 1) Intraobserver reliability was good for experienced endoscopists. 2) Interobserver LPSDT agreement between endoscopists was poor. 3) Eighteen percent of the subjects demonstrated elevated LPSDT thresholds of more than 4 mm Hg.

ID MOLECULAR-WEIGHT HEPARIN; 7TH ACCP CONFERENCE; THROMBOLYTIC THERAPY; MANAGEMENT; SURGERY; ADENOIDECTOMY; INTERRUPTION; THROMBOSIS; HEMORRHAGE; DISEASE AB Objectives: The objectives of this study were to review perioperative bridging strategies for anticoagulated patients and to describe a novel bridging strategy for tonsillectomy in an anticoagulated patient that addresses both primary and secondary hemorrhage risks. Methods: A literature review and a case report are presented. PubMed was reviewed for evidence-based recommendations on perioperative management of anticoagulated patients. A case report is detailed of a 28-year-old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome on warfarin for high risk of venous thrombosis who underwent tonsillectomy. A perioperative bridging strategy incorporating outpatient low-molecular weight heparin and inpatient unfractionated heparin was implemented to minimize risks of thrombosis and primary and secondary posttonsillectomy hemorrhage. Results: Limited evidence supports a consensus on the best perioperative management of anticoagulated patients. Tonsillectomy in an anticoagulated patient has not been described previously. The patient in this case underwent successful tonsillectomy with no thrombosis or bleeding after I month of follow-up. Conclusions: Tonsillectomy can be done relatively safely in an anticoagulated patient at high risk for thrombosis.

Methods: Because we assumed that the patulous eustachian tube was caused by abnormal activity of paratubal muscles (tensor and levator veli palatini muscles and salpingopharyngeus muscle), paralysis was performed via injection of botulinum toxin type A in a 45-year-old female professional musician who had had chronic unilateral autophonia for 20 years. In addition to a patient interview, an endoscopic examination of the nasopharynx (posterior rhinoscopy), ear microscopy, and impedance audiometry were performed to verify the diagnosis and the outcome after treatment. Results: The autophonia disappeared 1 week after treatment. Normalized tympanic ventilation was verified by impedance audiometry after 8 weeks. The period of symptom relief was 9 months. Conclusions: The administration of botulinum toxin type A provides a new option in the treatment of patulous eustachian tube. The reliability of this method and the effect of repeated injections remains to be proved in future studies. C1 Univ Gottingen, Dept Phoniatr & Pedaudiol, D-37035 Gottingen, Germany.

Methods: Normal salivary gland tissues and tissue samples of salivary glands with chronic sialadenitis were obtained. Expression of NGAL was investigated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and semiquantitative analysis of these results was also performed. The differential localization and amount of immunoreactivity to NGAL protein was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis in normal salivary gland tissues and salivary glands with chronic sialadenitis. Results: NGAL messenger RNA transcripts were detected in the tissues from the salivary glands with chronic sialadenitis, but only a small amount was detected in the tissues from the normal salivary glands. A weak expression of NGAL protein was occasionally seen in a few ductal epithelial cells of normal salivary gland tissue. However, in tissue samples from glands with chronic sialadenitis, the NGAL protein was expressed strongly in ductal epithelial cells and infiltrating inflammatory cells. Conclusions: These results imply that NGAL is associated with the regulation of inflammation in salivary glands.

This study tested the hypothesis that adult human PCs are divided into 2 distinct and specialized layers: a slow inner layer (SIL), innervated by the glossopharyngeal (IX) nerve, and a fast outer layer (FOL), innervated by nerve X. Methods: Eight normal adult human pharynges (16 sides) obtained from autopsies were studied to determine 1) their gross motor innervation by use of Sihler's stain; 2) their terminal axonal branching by use of acetyleholinesterase (AChE) and silver stain; and 3) their myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression in PC muscle fibers by use of immunocytochemical and immunoblotting techniques. In addition, the specialized nature of the 2 PC layers was also studied in developmental (newborn, neonate, and senescent humans), pathological (adult humans with idiopathic Parkinson's disease [IPD]), and comparative (nonhuman primate [adult macaque monkey]) specimens. Results: When nerves IX and X were traced from their cranial roots to their intramuscular termination in Sihler's-stained specimens, it was seen that nerve IX supplied the SIL, whereas branches of nerve X innervated the FOL in the adult human. PCs. Use of AChE and silver stain confirmed that nerve IX branches supplying the SIL contained motor axons and innervated motor end plates'. In addition to distinct motor innervation, the SIL contained muscle fibers expressing slow-tonic and a-cardiac MHC isoforms, whereas the FOL contained muscle fibers expressing developmental MHC isoforms. In contrast, the FOL became obscured in the elderly and in the adult humans with IPD because of an increased proportion of slow muscle fibers. Notably, distinct muscle fiber layers were not found in the human newborn and nonhuman primate (monkey), but were identified in the 2-year-old human. Conclusions: Human PCs appear to be organized into functional fiber layers, as indicated by distinct motor innervation and specialized muscle fibers. The SIL appears to be a specialized layer unique to normal humans. The presence of the highly specialized slow-tonic and a-cardiac MHC isoforms, together with their absence in human newborns and nonhuman primates, suggests that the specialization of the SIL may. be related to speech and respiration. This specialization may reflect the sustained contraction needed in humans to maintain stiffness of the pharyngeal walls during respiration and to shape the walls for speech articulation. In contrast, the FOL is adapted for rapid movement as seen during swallowing. Senescent humans and patients with IPD are known to be susceptible to dysphagia; and this susceptibility may be related to the observed shift in muscle fiber content.

Age-related voice change significantly impairs elderly individuals' ability to communicate meaningfully with others and affects their quality of life. With changing age demographics in our society and increasing emphasis on quality of life, treatment of presbylaryngis is becoming more paramount. Methods: We used 9 aged and 9 young mice to validate a mouse model for the aging larynx. We stained the larynges with Alcian blue to determine the hyaluronic acid content, trichrome stain to determine the collagen content, and immunohistochemical stain for alpha smooth muscle actin to determine the myofibroblast content. Morphometric measurements were performed for muscle area, muscle thickness, and muscle fiber diameter. Results: Statistically significant differences in the density measurements of hyaluronic acid and collagen reflected dec, creased hyaluronic acid and increased collagen content in the aging larynx. We found cc smooth muscle actin-labeled myofibroblasts only in the aged larynges. No statistically significant differences were found in the morphometric measurements. Conclusions: Aged mice may make a practical model for the age-related changes in the vocal folds that can be used further in studies aiming to correct these changes.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the regeneration-promoting agent nimodipine on reinnervation and neuromuscular function following RLN crush injury. Methods: Sixty adult rats were randomized into nimodipine-treated or untreated groups and then underwent RLN crush injury. Reinnervation of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle (PCA) was assessed by electrophysiological examination, retrograde tracing of lower motor neurons before and after injury, and quantification of neuromuscular junctions in the PCA muscle. Results: At 6 weeks after injury, the nimodipine-treated animals showed significantly enhanced neuromuscular function and also demonstrated a higher number of motor neurons in the brain stem that had reinnervated the PCA, compared to the untreated animals. The somatotopic organization of ambiguus motor neurons innervating the larynx was similar before injury and after reinnervation. Conclusions: Nimodipine improves regeneration and neuromuscular function following RLN injury in the adult rat, and could be of use in future strategies following RLN injury.

Methods: We present the imaging and functional studies of a 29-year-old woman in whom a large jugular bulb diverticuturn on the left side was found incidentally. Results: Imaging studies revealed a normal external auditory canal, middle ear, and inner ear, but a large jugular bulb diverticulum extending superiorly on the left side had eroded the IAC from below and behind with destruction of the petrous bone. Caloric responses and facial movements were normal. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials with bone conduction stimuli were absent on the left, indicating dysfunction of the left inferior vestibular system. Conclusions: This is the first report in the English-language literature of detailed imaging and functional findings in a very large diverticulum invading the IAC. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials were useful in uncovering subclinical inferior vestibular system dysfunction in the jugular bulb diverticulum invading the IAC.

Tracheotomy provides an airway and preserves voice. Surgical procedures to statically enlarge the glottis can permit decannulation, but do so at the expense of the voice. Motion analysis in cadaver larynges has demonstrated that adductor and abductor muscles rotate the arytenoid cartilage around different axes. We sought to determine whether external rotation of the arytenoid cartilage could enlarge the airway without abolishing residual phonatory adduction. Methods: We performed arytenoid abduction in 6 patients with obstructing laryngeal paralysis. A suture was placed in the muscular process and posterior-inferior traction was applied, anchoring the suture to the inferior cornu of the thyroid cartilage. Outcomes were evaluated by assessing airway symptoms, by assessing the voice, and by documentation of laryngeal motion via videolaryngoscopy. Results: Three patients with severe stridor had marked relief of symptoms, and 2 of the 3 tracheotomy-dependent patients were decannulated. Three patients had good voices, 2 had mild breathiness, and 1 was very breathy. Conclusions: Arytenoid abduction is a promising treatment for relieving airway obstruction in patients with laryngeal paralysis. It has the potential to preserve voice in patients with residual phonatory adduction. C1 So Illinois Univ, Sch Med, Div Otolaryngol, Springfield, IL 62794 USA.

Methods: A prospective cohort of patients who sought evaluation of CRS was studied with the Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Data concerning symptom scores, symptom domains, and psychiatric comorbidity were analyzed to determine the interactions among psychiatric comorbidity, symptom reporting, and resource utilization in CRS. Results: We studied 143 patients (mean age, 43.4 years). Low, moderate, and high levels of anxiety were reported by 48.3%, 25.9%, and 25.9% of patients, respectively. Low, moderate, and high levels of depression were reported by 76.2%, 9.1%, and 14.7%. For the combined psychopathology group, 43.3%, 25.9%, and 30% had low, moderate, and high levels. Patients with high anxiety levels reported significant elevations of oropharyngeal symptoms (p = .013) and total symptoms (p = .030) in comparison with the low group. Patients with high depression levels reported higher oropharyngeal (p = .003), systemic (p = .001), and total symptom (p = .003) scores than did the low group. High combined psychopathology scores were associated with elevated facial, oropharyngeal, and systemic scores (p < .05). Regarding medical utilization, high anxiety levels or high combined psychopathology scores were associated with more frequent physician visits (p < .05). A high level of depression was associated with increased antibiotic use, missed workdays, and physician visits (p < .05). Conclusions: High levels of anxiety and depression are common in patients who undergo evaluation for CRS. Psychiatric comorbidity is associated with increased symptoms in CRS and increased health-care utilization. Anxiety and depression should be identified in these patients to structure appropriate treatment. C1 Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Pain Management Ctr, Dept Anesthesia, Boston, MA USA.

The aim of this study was to assess changes in taste sensitivity and in self-ratings of gustatory function after surgery. Methods: Twenty-four patients (mean age, 54 years) who underwent cochlear implantation were investigated. Taste function was tested with a validated test for regional quantitative assessment of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter tastes on each side of the tongue before and 4 days after surgery. Results: The mean taste score was 10.0 (SD, 4.0) before and 8.0 (SD, 4.1) after surgery on the side of the tongue ipsilateral to the operated ear (p = .004). However, only I patient reported subjective taste loss due to surgery. Taste testing of the side of the tongue contralateral to the operated ear yielded a score of 10.0 (SD, 4.1) before and 10.9 (SD, 4.5) after surgery (p = .037). Self-ratings of gustatory function did not change significantly as a consequence of the procedure. Conclusions: Our results indicate that cochlear implantation is a relatively safe procedure regarding taste function. Preoperative testing of gustatory function is recommended, at least in those patients who already have undergone operation on the contralateral ear.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our series of 17 cases of sphenoid sinus fungal balls seen between 1998 and 2005 with reference to their diagnosis, radiologic changes, histopathology, and surgical management. Results: Exposed structures included the pituitary fossa, cavernous sinus, and cavernous internal carotid artery, but this exposure did not result in an increase in perioperative complications. Sclerotic thickening of the sinus walls persisted, probably representing a chronic osteitis in response to concurrent bacterial infection. This appeared to be protective against further sinus wall erosions. Wall erosions did not heal. One patient demonstrated what appeared to be invasive fungal disease from a fungal ball. Conclusions: Sphenoid sinus fungal balls can occur with minimal symptoms in a mainly elderly population and require surgical removal. Sphenoid sinus fungal balls have a low rate of operative morbidity and should be effectively managed by transnasal endoscopic sphenoidotomy alone.

Methods: We performed imaging and functional analyses on consecutive juvenile or adolescent patients between 2001 and 2005 with "isolated" unilateral hypoplasia of the cochlear nerve, without inner ear anomaly or other deformities. Results: Among 20 patients with unilateral profound deafness who underwent imaging studies, 10 (50%) passed the inclusion criteria. In all affected ears, auditory brain stem responses were absent and the speech discrimination score was very poor (0% to 5%). Distortion product otoacoustic emissions were good in 2 ears, fair in I ear, and poor in 7 ears. Caloric responses were absent in 2 ears, reduced in 3 ears, and normal in 5 ears. Inferior vestibular nerve function and facial nerve function were normal in all ears. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions and caloric responses tended to be better in ears with less severe narrowing of the IAM. Conclusions: The risk of co-involvement of the inner ear and superior vestibular nerve functions is higher in the presence of a narrower bony IAM. Cochlear nerve hypoplasia is proposed as one of the most important causes of juvenile unilateral deafness because of its unexpectedly high incidence.

We review the pertinent English-language literature. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the records of 12 adolescent patients treated for acute-onset inspiratory stridor at the Departments of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Allergy and Immunology at the University of South Florida and the Department of Speech Pathology at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. Two additional patients received treatment elsewhere. Demographic, historical, and laboratory data, physical examination findings, and follow-up information were extracted. A review of both the Hillsborough County Department of Health epidemiological report and the English-language literature was performed. Results: Fourteen female patients who attended a local high school developed audible inspiratory noise. Twelve of the 14 were seen at the University of South Florida Ear, Nose and Throat Center. The remaining 2 patients were evaluated by outside otolaryngologists but were included in all reports from the Department of Health. Environmental studies did not find noxious chemical or biological agents in the students' environments to explain the development of the symptoms. Physical and videostroboscopic examination identified two distinct laryngeal findings causing the audible stridor. One involved paradoxical vocal fold movement, and the other, supraglottic mucosal collapse into the airway. All patients underwent rigorous speech pathology intervention and structured treatment with either complete resolution or significant improvement, seen both clinically and on videostroboscopic evaluation. Conclusions: Audible stridor can arise from numerous disease processes. In the vast majority of presentations it occurs sporadically and on an individual basis. Our cohort is especially unusual because of the sheer number of patients. Our presentation of a case of mass psychogenic illness as the cause of vocal cord dysfunction with additional findings of laryngomalacia within a group of adolescent girls is the first in the English-language literature. The key to the diagnosis is recognition of the disorder and susceptible individuals by using a thorough physical examination with emphasis on the laryngoscopic and videostroboscopic findings. The systematic approach, undertaken by a team including an otolaryngologist, an allergist, a speech pathologist, and an epidemiologist, proved to be effective in the management of this complex disorder and highly unusual situation.

TI Clinical investigation and mechanism of air-bone gaps in large vestibular aqueduct syndrome SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE air-bone gap; audiometry; conductive hearing loss; large vestibular aqueduct syndrome ID CONDUCTIVE HEARING-LOSS; SEMICIRCULAR CANAL DEHISCENCE; EVOKED MYOGENIC POTENTIALS; TYMPANIC MEMBRANE; MIDDLE-EAR; INNER-EAR; CHINCHILLA; FIXATION AB Objectives: Patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) often demonstrate an air-bone gap at the low frequencies on audiometric testing. The mechanism causing such a gap has not been well elucidated. We investigated middle ear sound transmission in patients with LVAS, and present a hypothesis to explain the air-bone gap. Methods: Observations were made on 8 ears from 5 individuals with LVAS. The diagnosis of LVAS was made by computed tomography in all cases. Investigations included standard audiometry and measurements of umbo velocity by laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) in all cases, as well as tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) testing, distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) testing, and middle ear exploration in some ears. Results: One ear with LVAS had anacusis. The other 7 ears demonstrated air-bone gaps at the low frequencies, with mean gaps of 51 dB at 250 Hz, 31 dB at 500 Hz, and 12 dB at 1,000 Hz. In these 7 ears with air-bone gaps, LDV showed the umbo velocity to be normal or high normal in all 7; tympanometry was normal in all 6 ears tested; acoustic reflexes were present in 3 of the 4 ears tested; VEMP responses were present in all 3 ears tested; DPOAEs were present in I of the 2 ears tested, and exploratory tympanotomy in I case showed a normal middle ear. The above data suggest that an air-bone gap in LVAS is not due to disease in the middle ear. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that a large vestibular aqueduct introduces a third mobile window into the inner ear, which can produce an air-bone gap by 1) shunting air-conducted sound away from the cochlea, thus elevating air conduction thresholds, and 2) increasing the difference in impedance between the scala vestibuli side and the scala tympani side of the cochlear partition during bone conduction testing, thus improving thresholds for bone-conducted sound. Conclusions: We conclude that LVAS can present with an air-bone gap that can mimic middle ear disease. Diagnostic testing using acoustic reflexes, VEMPs, DPOAEs, and LDV can help to identify a non-middle ear source for such a gap, thereby avoiding negative middle ear exploration. A large vestibular aqueduct may act as a third mobile window in the inner ear, resulting in an air-bone gap at low frequencies.

The roles of the timing of and the underlying cause for surgery, the type of the repair, and previous facial nerve function in the final result were analyzed. Methods: Articles were identified by means of a PubMed search using the key words "facial-hypoglossal anastomosis," which yielded 109 articles. The data were pooled from existing literature written in English or French. Twenty-three articles were included in the study after we excluded those that were technical reports, those describing anastomosis to cranial nerves other than the hypoglossal, and those that were experimental animal studies. Articles that reported facial nerve function after surgery and timing of repair were included. Facial nerve function had to be reported according to the House-Brackmann scale. If there was more than I article by the same author(s), only the most recent article and those that did not overlap and that matched the above criteria were accepted. The main parameter of interest was the rate of functional recovery of the facial nerve after anastomosis. This parameter was compared among all groups with Pearson's chi(2) test in the SPSS program for Windows. Statistical significance was set at a p level of less than .05. Results: Analysis of the reports indicates that early repair, before 12 months, provides a better outcome. The severity of facial nerve paralysis does not have a negative effect on prognosis. Gunshot wounds and facial neuroma are the worst conditions for favorable facial nerve recovery after anastomosis. Transection of the hypoglossal nerve inevitably results in ipsilateral tongue paralysis and atrophy. Modification of the anastomosis technique seems to resolve this problem. Nevertheless, the effect of modified techniques on facial reanimation is still unclear, because the facial nerve function results were lacking in these reports. Conclusions: Hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis is an effective and reliable technique that gives consistent and satisfying results.

Methods: Forty-two children complaining of nasal discharge, whose paranasal sinus computed tornographic scans had been obtained, were involved in the study. The patients with adenoid enlargement underwent adenoidectomy. The volumes of adenoid vegetation were measured in square centimeters, and paranasal sinus computed tomographic scans were classified according to the Lund-Mackay staging system. Results: No statistically significant difference existed between patients whose Lund-Mackay scores were 0 and those with scores greater than 0. There seems to be no correlation between the Lund-Mackay score and the degree of adenoid vegetation. Conclusions: Adenoid vegetation may cause nasal discharge that is not necessarily due to sinusitis. We could not find any supportive data for the statement "The greater the adenoid tissue, the more extensive the sinusitis."

Methods: Biopsy specimens were obtained from 10 patients with allergic rhinitis and 10 normal controls. RNA was extracted from the nasal mucosa, and semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed for PAR-2. Tissue sections were immunostained for PAR-2 by use of specific antibody. Results: The expression levels of PAR-2 mRNA in allergic rhinitis nasal mucosa were significantly up-regulated as compared with those in normal nasal mucosa. PAR-2 immunoreactivity was observed in the epithelium and submucosal glands in both normal controls and subjects with allergic rhinitis. Stronger immunoreactivity for PAR-2 was observed in allergic rhinitis nasal mucosa as compared with normal nasal mucosa. Conclusions: These results suggest that PAR-2 may be involved in allergic nasal inflammation. C1 Korea Univ, Coll Med, Dept Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, Seoul, South Korea.

TI Reliability of the pharyngeal squeeze maneuver SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing with sensory testing; pharyngeal motor function; pharyngeal squeeze maneuver ID ASPIRATION AB Objectives: Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing with sensory testing has been used to assess the integrity of laryngopharyngeal sensory and motor components. The pharyngeal squeeze is a maneuver used during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing with sensory testing to assess pharyngeal motor function. Although the pharyngeal squeeze manuever has been used in numerous scientific publications, its reliability has not been critically evaluated. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the reliability of the pharyngeal squeeze maneuver. Methods: Forty individuals who were undergoing fiberoptic laryngoscopy for various reasons were instructed to perform the pharyngeal squeeze maneuver. Three different clinicians reviewed the videotape on 4 separate occasions. The clinicians were first asked to rate each side of the pharynx as normal, diminished, or absent. They were then instructed to simply rate the maneuver as normal or abnormal. The interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the pharyngeal squeeze maneuver were assessed with the kappa coefficient. Results: The mean age of the cohort was 58 years. Fifty-eight percent (23 of 40) were male. When the clinicians were instructed to rate each side of the pharynx as normal, diminished, or absent, the interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities were poor (63% to 68% agreement; kappa = 0.18 to 0.67). When the clinicians were asked to rate the pharyngeal squeeze maneuver as normal or abnormal, both interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities were excellent (85% to 98% agreement; kappa = 0.75 to 0.95). Conclusions: The pharyngeal squeeze maneuver displayed poor reliability when motor function was classified into unilateral or bilateral normal, diminished, and absent categories. The pharyngeal squeeze maneuver was very reliable when simply graded as normal or abnormal. Clinicians could not reliably distinguish between diminished and absent pharyngeal motor functions.

Methods: Prospective instrument validation was performed. of 81 original items, those with poor statistical validity were eliminated, resulting in 36 items. The ability to discriminate dysphonic from normal singers, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity were assessed. Results: We included 112 dysphonic and 129 normal singers, professional and nonprofessional, of classical, country, rock, choral, and gospel repertoire. Dysphonic singers had worse SVHI scores than normal singers (p <= .001, rank sum test). Test-retest reliability was high (Spearman correlation, 0.92; p <= .001). Internal consistency demonstrated a Cronbach's alpha of .97, and the correlation between the SVHI and self-rated singing voice impairment was .63 (p <= .001, Spearman correlation). Conclusions: The SVHI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing self-perceived handicap associated with singing problems.

Methods: Vertigo, vomiting, tinnitus, and bilateral profound deafness suddenly developed in a 65-year-old woman without any accompanying neurologic signs. In particular, she did not present dysarthria, numbness, cranial nerve palsies, or visual or cerebellar signs. Results: Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed 2 fresh infarctions of 8 to 10 rum symmetrically localized in the posterolateral bulbopontine junction. Angiography revealed a complete occlusion of the basilar artery, with a well-represented backward flow of its distal portion from the carotid artery via posterior communicating arteries. Excluding a transient ischemic attack that occurred 16 days after the acute episode, the patient had had no other neurologic events at 8 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Acute vertigo and sudden deafness in a patient with known cerebrovascular occlusive disease may represent the warning signs of an impending brain stem or cerebellar infarction, even when other neurologic signs are absent. These events are fortunately very rare, but should be considered by clinicians who see patients with vertigo. C1 Univ Ferrara, Dept Audiol, I-44100 Ferrara, Italy.

Methods: The VHI was administered to 15 patients (11 women and 4 men) with pathologic sulcus vocalis. The VHI subscale and total scores were compared with previously published data from individuals with no history of dysphonia and from patients with vocal fold scar. Additional comparisons were performed for patients with unilateral sulcus versus bilateral sulci, type 11 sulcus versus type III sulcus, and sulcus with concomitant vocal fold scar versus sulcus without concomitant scar. Results: The VHI scores for patients with pathologic sulcus vocalis were significantly greater than those for individuals with no history of dysphonia and for patients with vocal fold scar. In addition, significantly greater VHI scores were observed for patients with sulcus vocalis with concomitant scar versus those with sulcus alone. Conclusions: These data suggest that pathologic sulcus vocalis can be a severely handicapping condition, particularly in the presence of concomitant scar.

A case is reported, and a retrospective review of the English-language literature is presented. Methods: All published cases of LLS with adequate histopathologic documentation and clinical information were included for review. Results: Thirty cases of LLS have been reported. A majority of these patients are men between 40 and 70 years of age. The most common location of the tumor is the supraglottis, and the presenting complaints are similar to those of other laryngeal neoplasms. Although these neoplasms recur often and can cause significant morbidity, they are typically of low grade and rarely metastasize. The outcomes of this disease are generally good when it is treated with wide surgical excision. Conclusions: Cases of LLS are extremely rare. Because the histologic changes are frequently subtle, LLS can be easily mistaken for a benign tumor. As a result, the diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and diligence in examining biopsy specimens. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can assist in the diagnosis and surgical approach. Genetic and immunostaining analysis techniques may also prove to have valuable prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications for this disease. Wide surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. The use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in treating this cancer remains experimental, but might be considered on a case-to-case basis for palliation or to treat aggressive variants of the disease.

SO ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY LA English DT Article DE chronic rhinosinusitis; fungus; polymerase chain reaction ID POLYMERASE-CHAIN-REACTION; IMMUNOGLOBULIN-E; NASAL POLYPS; SINUSITIS; PATHOPHYSIOLOGY; DIAGNOSIS AB Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intranasal fungi on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) Methods: Forty-one patients with CRS were included in the study. The patients were put into 2 groups, with and without intranasal fungi as detected by polymerase chain reaction, and were compared in terms of different laboratory and clinical parameters of CRS. A chi(2) test was used to analyze statistical differences between the 2 groups. Results: Serum eosinophilia, eosinophilia in the nasal mucus, prick and intradermal test positivity for fungi, elevated total IgE, fungal-specific IgE, prevalence of symptoms, frequency of bronchial asthma, aspirin sensitivity, and nasal polyposis did not differ significantly between the 2 groups of patients (p > .05). Conclusions: The findings of this study failed to reveal a clear correlation between the presence of fungi in the nasal passage and various factors that are assumed to be involved in the pathogenesis or clinical course of CRS. If fungi have a role in the pathogenesis of CRS, it may be via other mediators and reactions rather than IgE and type I hypersensitivity. However, the sample size was relatively small, and further studies with more cases are needed on the same topic. C1 Gulhane Mil Med Acad, Dept Otolaryngol Head & Neck Surg, TR-06018 Ankara, Turkey.

This study investigated whether VEGF-A may play a role in the pathogenesis of acquired airway stenosis. Methods: Eight lesions from 5 pediatric patients with subglottic stenosis after airway reconstruction (N = 4) or prolonged intubation (N = 1) and normal laryngeal tissue from 5 autopsy patients were included. Formalin-fixed sections of subglottic tissue from each patient were examined by in situ hybridization for the presence of messenger RNA (mRNA) for VEGF-A, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). Results: Strong expression of VEGF-A mRNA was noted in hyperplastic squamous epithelium overlying granulation C, tissue. Strong expression of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 was noted in the endothelial cells within granulation tissue. No strong labeling of VEGF-A mRNA or its receptors was noted in 2 specimens with mature scar tissue or in the control specimens. Conclusions: The angiogenic growth factor VEGF-A is strongly expressed in hyperplastic epithelium overlying granulation tissue in airway stenosis. Also, VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 mRNAs are strongly expressed in the endothelial cells of granulation tissue. This finding suggests an important role of VEGF-A in the pathogenesis of airway scar formation and stenosis. C1 Childrens Hosp, Dept Otolaryngol, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

Methods: Forty randomly selected patients were included in the study. A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who fit the inclusion criteria. Videostroboscopic samples for the study group were reviewed and RFS-rated by 6 experienced raters on 2 different occasions to evaluate the interrater and intrarater reliability. The RSI and the RFS were statistically compared regarding both the total scores and the individual parameters. Results: The RFS ranged from 0 to 20, and the RSI varied from 14 to 38. There was a high agreement between the raters' scores, demonstrating high interrater and intrarater reliability for RFS. Additionally, the RSI and RFS were highly correlated (p < .0001). Hoarseness was highly correlated with vocal fold edema and thick laryngeal mucus (p < .01), and excessive throat clearing correlated significantly with thick endolaryngeal mucus (p < .01). Conclusions: The study demonstrates a highly significant correlation between the RFS and the RSI. C1 Blaine Block Voice Anal & Rehabil, Dayton, OH USA.

Injury can occur as part of a neurodegenerative disease process or can be due to direct nerve trauma or tumor invasion. Management depends upon symptoms, the cause and severity of injury, and the prognosis for recovery of nerve function. Surgical treatment techniques can improve symptoms, but do not restore physiologic motion. Gene therapy may be a useful adjunct to enhance nerve regeneration in the setting of neurodegenerative disease or trauma. Remote injection of viral vectors into the recurrent laryngeal nerve is the least invasive way to deliver neurotrophic factors to the nerve's cell bodies within the nucleus ambiguus, and in turn to promote nerve regeneration and enhance both nuclear and nerve survival. The purpose of this review is to discuss the potential role for gene therapy in treatment of the unsolved problem of vocal fold paralysis. C1 Univ Michigan, Dept Neurol, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.

Their distribution has not been systematically characterized in all locations of the larynx and its surrounding tissues. Methods: Rat larynges were stained with monoclonal antibodies identifying DCs. These cells were then enumerated by a new combination of techniques including immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy, and imaging software. Results: The vast majority of DCs were located in the epithelium and subepithelium of the airway; the mean DC density ranged from 9 cells per square millimeter (0.2% of cells) to 645 cells per square millimeter (10.3% of cells). Their density in the epithelium was 3 to 11 times higher than that in the subepithelium. Non-airway sites (thyroid, parathyroid, muscle, fat) had mean DC densities varying from 3 cells per square millimeter (0.2%) to 57 cells per square millimeter (0.8%). No DCs were detected in cartilage. Conclusions: Dendritic cells are concentrated in the laryngotracheal epithelium and subepithelium and represent a much smaller proportion in the other sites studied. A baseline for laryngeal DC population studies has been established, and a computerized model for consistent quantitation using confocal microscopy has been developed. This unique method will serve as a foundation for investigating DC trafficking after rat laryngeal transplantation. C1 Cleveland Clin, Head & Neck Inst, Cleveland, OH USA.
