Imaging nodal volume and survival in oral tongue cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis
Rattawut Wiengnon, Chakkapong Chakkabat, Napadon Tangjaturonrasme, Worawat Rawangban
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:1269
Highlights

  • In General, TNM staging which primary tumor and nodal volume is not included, been used to predict the prognosis of oral cavity cancer.

  • Recent studies, primary tumor volume has increasing evidence for predict prognosis.

  • We studied the role of nodal volume in oral tongue cancer for the survival outcomes.

  • The result showed that nodal volume of ≥3.95 cm3 was a poor prognostic factor for distant metastasis.

  • Nodal volume may use in adjunct with TNM staging to predict disease prognosis in oral tongue cancer.

Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:1271
Highlights

  • Advanced oncologic defects of midface and scalp are challenging for reconstruction.

  • Free flaps in the midface and scalp region are the gold standard for advanced cases.

Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:101277
Highlights

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) was more common in women.

  • The proportion of men with BPPV increased with age.

The protective role of Wnt3a in peroxynitrite-induced damage of cochlear hair cells in vitro
Fengyun Cui, Zhimin Cao, Qianru Zhang, Zhixin Cao
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:101278
Highlights

  • Peroxynitrite could induce Hair Cells (HCs) damage in vitro on mouse cochlear.

  • Peroxynitrite eventuated HCs loss in a basal-apical gradient manner.

  • Outer HCs were more vulnerable to peroxynitrite injury than inner HCs.

  • Peroxynitrite could cause mitochondria oxidative damage to HCs.

  • Low concentrations of Wnt3a have a protective effect on the oxidative damage of HCs.

Highlights

  • Spontaneous internal vertigo was experienced by most VM patients.

  • Most VM patients have CT intolerance.

  • Spontaneous external vertigo was experienced by most MD patients.

  • MD patients mostly have severe vestibular symptoms and autonomic responses.

  • Most MD patients show CT(+) with vHIT(−) with the presence of saccades.

  • Obstructive sleep apnea screening in different age groups.

  • The STOP-Bang questionnaire has high sensitivity for screening OSA.

  • ROC curve and area under the curve of three sleep disorder screening instruments.

  • Age has no significant influence on the screening for obstructive sleep apnea.
