Characterization of the pharyngeal swallow response to volume challenges is important for swallowing function assessment. The diameter of the pressure-impedance recording catheter may influence these results. In this study, we captured key physiological swallow measures in response to bolus volume utilizing recordings acquired by two catheters of different diameter. ⋯ NA.

Although previous studies have reported increased perioperative complications among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients undergoing any surgery requiring general anesthesia, there is a paucity of literature addressing the impact of OSA on postoperative transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) complications. The aim of this study was to analyze postoperative outcomes in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery patients with OSA. Secondarily, we examined patient characteristics and comorbidities. ⋯ 2C.

Review Case Reports
Hydroxyapatite cement resurfacing the dehiscent jugular bulb: Novel treatment for pulsatile tinnitus.
The objectives were to discuss the presentation and symptomatology of patients with jugular bulb abnormalities, summarize the literature describing jugular bulb abnormalities, compare methods of treating symptomatic dehiscent jugular bulb, describe a novel surgical technique and pitfalls to repair dehiscent bulbs with hydroxyapatite cement, and present a case series to demonstrate outcomes with this technique STUDY DESIGN: Case series presentation, PubMed literature review, and description of operative technique. ⋯ 4.
