Women represent approximately 28.0% of academic otolaryngologists. Previous studies have shown that women in academic medicine, including surgical subspecialties, have disparate career advancement opportunities and grant funding compared to male counterparts. Representation at major academic meetings is an important career advancement opportunity. In this study, we assess the representation of women at otolaryngology conferences. ⋯ 5 Laryngoscope, 131:E373-E379, 2021.

The gender balance within medicine, and specifically within otolaryngology, is equalizing. It is important to determine the factors that impact the distribution of female residents among otolaryngology programs in the United States to better understand factors that may affect these changing trends. ⋯ NA Laryngoscope, 131:E367-E372, 2021.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion on Postoperative Early Recovery Quality in Upper Airway Surgery.
Systemic infusions of lidocaine have been widely used as perioperative analgesic adjuvants. The aim of this randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial was to investigate the effect of perioperative lidocaine infusion on postoperative early recovery quality in upper airway surgery. ⋯ 1b Laryngoscope, 131:E63-E69, 2021.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Which Anesthesia Regimen Is Best to Reduce Pulmonary Complications After Head and Neck Surgery?
The differences between intravenous and inhalation anesthesia in clinical postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have been studied in cardiac and lung resection surgery. Clinical evidence for the effects of these two anesthetics on PPCs in other types of surgery is still missing. We aimed to assess the impact of sevoflurane and propofol on the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing surgery for head and neck cancer. ⋯ 2 Laryngoscope, 131:E108-E115, 2021.
