Anterior laryngeal electrodes for recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring during thyroid and parathyroid surgery: New expanded options for neural monitoring
ConclusionsCompared to ETT surface electrodes, the ALEs provide similar and stable electromyographic responses with equal sensitivity for recording evoked responses during neural monitoring in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The ALEs offer significantly more robust monitoring of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. Furthermore, ALEs are contained within the operative field, are totally surgeon controlled, and are unaffected by the potential vicissitudes of ETT position during surgery.Level of Evidence4Laryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Postoperative respiratory complications and racial disparities following inpatient pediatric tonsillectomy: A cross ‐sectional study
ConclusionsRespiratory events after inpatient tonsillectomy included laryngo/bronchospasm, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, intubation, prolonged intubation, and ventilation. Although uncommon, these were more common among African American children. Further research is needed to understand the etiology of this disparity.Level of EvidenceNALaryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Magnetic resonance imaging with cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implants: Are we truly practicing MRI safety?
ConclusionOur series offers a diverse number of CI manufacturers and is in accordance with other literature that CI MRI ‐related adverse events are occurring at an unacceptable frequency. We can promote CI MRI safety through our institutions' MRI CI patient protocols, raise awareness that diagnostic MRI benefits must outweigh CI‐related complications, and advocate for continued industry technological innovation.Level of Evidence4Laryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Preclinical assessment of resorbable silk splints for the treatment of pediatric tracheomalacia
ConclusionThis pilot study indicates that silk fibroin splints are well tolerated and efficacious in a rabbit model of severe tracheomalacia, with marked reduction in airway collapse following implantation and good tolerability over the studied time course.Level of EvidenceNA.Laryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Optimal resection margin for head and neck cutaneous melanoma
ConclusionsThe survival of patients with cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck depends on age, depth of tumor invasion, and histology. Within the head and neck, a wider resection margin of>2 cm does not confer any additional survival benefit compared with a narrower margin. Future studies should examine whether wider surgical margins would confer survival benefit in local or recurrent melanoma.Level of Evidence4Laryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Activity of swallowing ‐related neurons in the medulla in the perfused brainstem preparation in rats
ConclusionsThe perfused brainstem preparation of rat fully preserves the Sw ‐CPG. The recorded cellular activities and general topographical organization of swallowing neurons are in accordance with previous in vivo studies. Thus, the perfused brainstem preparation is an ideal experimental model to advance the understanding of neuronal mechanisms underlying swallowing.Level of EvidenceNALaryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

The epidemiology of autologous tissue grafting in primary and revision rhinoplasty
ConclusionsCartilaginous or bony grafting is a critical surgical technique in both primary and secondary rhinoplasties. This is the first study to examine percentages of site ‐specific autologous grafting from auricular and costal donor sites for primary and revision cases. Gender and age‐specific trends associated with specific grafting sites are also identified. These data are important to help guide preoperative counseling and informed consent for all rhinoplasty surgeries.Level of EvidenceNALaryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Sex bias in basic science and translational otolaryngology research
ConclusionsSex may influence outcomes significantly but is underreported and underanalyzed in basic/translational otolaryngology research. Because this research frequently lays the groundwork for clinical trials and standards of care, future research must address these sex ‐based discrepancies.Level of EvidenceNALaryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)
