The challenges in the risk stratification of thyroid nodules and cancers: the role of molecular testing
Around the world, molecular testing is becoming more widely used to personalise the management of thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules are relatively common. They are palpable in ~5% of the population, while high-resolution ultrasound (US) incidentally finds them in 19–68% of...Privacy and security in connected hearing healthcare
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced audiology services across the globe to find new ways of working. This has resulted in a rapid increase in the uptake of remote care and, with it, some new privacy and security considerations. Connected hearing...Transnasal oesophagoscopy (TNO)-guided secondary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) under local anaesthesia
Here, the authors describe a convenient use of the transnasal oesophagoscope to create a new tracheoesophageal puncture in the outpatient clinic setting. Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) with voice prosthesis insertion is a reliable and effective technique for surgical voice restoration (SVR)...
How young is too young for tympanoplasty?
This paper presents the largest series of pre-school age children undergoing tympanoplasty compared with older children. The authors have collected much prospective data on 259 children undergoing 284 surgeries so were able to perform multivariate analysis. The age groupings of...
Paediatric versus adult pituitary adenomas
This retrospective study compares paediatric with adult patients undergoing pituitary adenoma surgery over a period of 26 years at a single institution. All surgeries were performed via a sublabial approach using the operating microscope. An endoscope was used occasionally for...
Centralisation of care for acoustic tumour surgeries?
Several factors are responsible for readmission after acoustic tumour removal. The authors retrospectively studied the association between hospital, patient and insurance factors with the rate of readmission following acoustic tumour removal in the United States using the Nationwide Readmission Database...
