RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are now commercially available. However, there are currently no consensus guidelines available for head and neck cancer (HNC) providers to direct work up or surveillance for patients with a positive MCED test. We seek to describe cases of patients with positive MCED tests suggesting HNC and provide insights for their evaluation. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients referred to Otolaryngology with an MCED result suggesting HNC. Patients enrolled in prospective MCED clinical trials were excluded. Cancer diagnoses were confirmed via frozen-section pathology. RESULTS: Five patients were included (mean age: 69.2 years, range 50-87; 4 male) with MCED-identified-high-risk for HNC or lymphoma. Only patient was symptomatic. After physical exam and follow-up head and neck imaging, circulating tumor HPV DNA testing, two patients were diagnosed with p16 + oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas and underwent appropriate therapy. A third patient had no evidence of head and neck cancer but was diagnosed with sarcoma of the thigh. The remaining two patients had no evidence of malignancy after in-depth workup. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, 2 of 5 patients referred to Otolaryngology with a positive MCED result were diagnosed with HPV + oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. We recommend that positive HNC MCED work up include thorough head and neck examination with flexible laryngoscopy and focused CT or MRI imaging. Given the potential for inaccurate MCED tissue of origin classification, PET/CT may be useful in specific situations. For a patient with no cancer identified, development of clear guidelines is warranted.

RESUMO

Background: Objective measurement of where observers direct their attention to faces when searching for signs of facial plastic surgery (FPS) is currently lacking. Objective: To compare where laypersons direct their attention on facial photographs using eye-tracking software when they are asked to (1) search for signs of aesthetic facial surgery or (2) allowed to gaze without direction (free-gaze). Methods: Naïve observers either free-gazed or examined faces for signs of FPS (FPS-prompted) for 10 s per face while their gaze was recorded by an eye-tracking system. Faces had no known history or signs/stigmata of FPS and were selected from the FACES and CFD databases with a diverse demographic distribution. Gaze times in nine facial subregions were analyzed using mixed-effects linear regression. Results: In FPS-prompted observers (n = 50, mean age 32.7 ± 11.3 years, 23/50 (46%) female), the nose, mouth, cheeks, and forehead experienced the most substantial increases (p < 0.001) and a high percentage of overall gaze time (17.9%, 12.5%, 12.0%, 9.6%, respectively) compared to free-gazing observers [n = 57, 35.5 ± 13.9 years, 31/57 (54%) female]. Conclusions: Observers direct attention differently on a face when searching for signs of plastic surgery with increased attention on the nose, mouth, cheeks, and forehead.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review of the literature to evaluate (1) activity level and knee function, (2) reoperation and failure rates, and (3) risk factors for reoperation and failure of autologous osteochondral transfer (AOT) at long-term follow-up. METHODS: A comprehensive review of the long-term outcomes of AOT was performed. Studies reported on activity-based outcomes (Tegner Activity Scale) and clinical outcomes (Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee score). Reoperation and failure rates as defined by the publishing authors were recorded for each study. Modified Coleman Methodology Scores were calculated to assess study methodological quality. RESULTS: Twelve studies with a total of 495 patients and an average age of 32.5 years at the time of surgery and a mean follow-up of 15.1 years (range, 10.4-18.0 years) were included. The mean defect size was 3.2 cm2 (range, 1.9-6.9 cm2). The mean duration of symptoms before surgery was 5.1 years. Return to sport rates ranged from 86% to 100%. Conversion to arthroplasty rates ranged from 0% to 16%. The average preoperative International Knee Documentation Committee scores ranged from 32.9 to 36.8, and the average postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee scores at final follow-up ranged from 66.3 to 77.3. The average preoperative Lysholm scores ranged from 44.5 to 56.0 and the average postoperative Lysholm scores ranged from 70.0 to 96.5. The average preoperative Tegner scores ranged from 2.5 to 3.0, and the average postoperative scores ranged from 4.1 to 7.0. CONCLUSIONS: AOT of the knee resulted in high rates of return to sport with correspondingly low rates of conversion to arthroplasty at long-term follow-up. In addition, AOT demonstrated significant improvements in long-term patient-reported outcomes from baseline. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level I-IV studies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Septoplasty is used to correct nasal obstruction from nasal septum deviation. However, the long-term efficacy of septoplasty is unclear, and no literature reviews have examined long-term outcomes of septoplasty with or without turbinate modification. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of septoplasty with or without turbinate modification in improving nasal obstruction. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the aforementioned databases. Studies reporting outcomes 12+ months after functional septoplasty with or without turbinate surgery for nasal obstruction were included. Septorhinoplasties, concurrent sinus surgery, pediatric studies, and studies where septoplasty was performed for indications other than nasal obstruction were excluded. RESULTS: After screening, 35 studies with 4,432 patients were included. Mean weighted post-operative follow-up time was 29.1 months (range 12-120 months). All studies reported significant improvement in subjective and objective outcomes at long-term follow-up compared to baseline. When comparing short-term (<12 months) to long-term (≥12 months) outcomes, four studies noticed that subjective outcomes worsened slightly over time, but no study found a significant change in objective outcomes over time. In addition, 23 studies reported patient satisfaction and/or improvement rates, with 75.4% (2,348/3,113) of patients expressing satisfaction/improvement at an average of 27.0 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, septoplasty with or without turbinate modification shows significant improvement in obstructive symptoms at long-term follow-up per both objective and subjective measures. Whether outcomes may worsen slightly over time remains indeterminate based on mixed results in the literature. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: N/A Laryngoscope, 2023.
