Identify predictors of outcome in patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (RMHNSCC) treated with weekly cetuximab and paclitaxel (CP). ⋯ 4. Laryngoscope, 127:1583-1588, 2017.

The aim of the present study was to assess thiol/disulfide (SS) homeostasis as a novel indicator of oxidative stress in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on oxidative parameters. ⋯ 3b. Laryngoscope, 127:E244-E250, 2017.

The prevalence of multiglandular disease (MGD) of the parathyroid has been reported to be higher in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and low baseline intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (<100 pg/mL). Low baseline PTH is associated with lower localization rate and positive predictive value with both preoperative sestamibi and ultrasound. This study sought to evaluate our experience with four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) for the localization of abnormal parathyroid glands, including MGD, in patients with low baseline intact PTH (LBiPTH). ⋯ 4 Laryngoscope, 127:1476-1482, 2017.

Observational Study
High variability of facial muscle innervation by facial nerve branches: A prospective electrostimulation study.
To examine by intraoperative electric stimulation which peripheral facial nerve (FN) branches are functionally connected to which facial muscle functions. ⋯ 4 Laryngoscope, 127:1288-1295, 2017.
