    Abstract The extended deep plane facelift is a powerful technique to correct aging of the midface and neck. After many years of superficial muscular aponeurotic system lift techniques, the senior author transitioned to an extended deep plane facelift for all patients. The primary catalyst for this shift in practice was the pursuit of superior rejuvenation of the midface. Consistent uniform elevation of the deep plane with complete ligament release and management of the soft tissue flap were the most significant challenges in the early adoption period. Navigating the transition was facilitated by consultation with experienced colleagues and frequent cadaver dissections. This manuscript details the authors' current technique. Complications and recovery from this technique are similar to those reported with historical techniques and are minimized with proper preparation, precision, and perioperative management. In our experience the results from this procedure are extremely reproducible, durable, and natural, and patients are overwhelmingly extremely satisfied.

    Abstract Vascular lesions impact up to 5% of children and range in clinical impact from minor cutaneous aberrations to large masses impacting both form and function. Vascular lesions may be characterized as tumors or malformations. Establishing a clear diagnosis is imperative to understanding the natural history of a vascular lesion and developing a treatment plan. Medical, surgical, intralesional, and laser therapy are all effective and indicated on a case-by-case basis. There are a number of important surgical considerations for operative management of these lesions.

    Abstract Deep neck space infections can cause antibiotic-resistant abscesses that can impinge on vital anatomical structures. Image-guided surgery systems using preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging can be utilized to characterize pathology and assist surgeons in avoiding iatrogenic injury. This manuscript explores the presentation and unique CT-guided surgical management of an infratemporal fossa abscess in a 48-year-old male who presented with left-sided dental pain and facial swelling that had progressed despite antibiotics and dental extraction. CT-guided imaging can assist in localizing and protecting vital anatomical structures during deep neck abscess drainage and can prevent the potential risks and complications of classic surgical approaches.

    Abstract Background: High dose rate brachytherapy is commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Treatment planning is often performed under transrectal ultrasound (US) guidance, but brachytherapy needles can be challenging to digitize due to the presence of poor US conspicuity and imaging artifacts. The plan accuracy and quality, however, are dependent on the proper visualization of the needles with millimeter accuracy.
    Purpose: This work describes a technique for generating a color overlay of needle locations atop the grayscale US image. Prototype devices were developed to produce vibrations in the brachytherapy needles that generate a high contrast color Doppler (CD) signal that highlights the needle locations with superior contrast and reduced artifacts. Denoted by the acronym color VISION (Vibrationally Induced Shimmering for Identifying an Object's Nature), the technology has the potential to improve applicator conspicuity and facilitate automated applicator digitization.
    Methods: Three prototype vibrational devices with frequencies between 200-450 Hz were designed in-house and evaluated with needle implants in a phantom and cadaveric male pelvis using: (1) an actuator attached to the front of a prostate needle template; (2) an actuator attached to the top of the needle template; and (3) a hand-held actuator with a stylet, inserted directly into a needle's inner lumen. Acquired images were postprocessed in MATLAB to evaluate the potential for automated digitization.
    Results: All prototype devices produced localized shimmering in implanted brachytherapy needles in both the axial and sagittal planes. The template mounted actuators provided better vibrational coupling and ease of operation than the stylet prototype. The Michelson contrast, or visibility, of the shimmering CD signal was 100% compared with ≤40% for B-mode imaging of a single needle. Proof-of-principle for automated applicator digitization using only the CD signal was demonstrated.
    Conclusions: The color VISION prototype devices successfully coupled mechanical vibrations into brachytherapy needles to generate US CD shimmering and accurately highlight brachytherapy needle locations. The high contrast and natively registered signal are promising for future work to automate the needle digitization and provide a real-time visual overlay of the applicator on the B-mode US image.

    Abstract Though initially spared from the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic, rural areas in the United States have been ravaged by the disease. With a higher-risk population at baseline and an already strained health care system, rural hospitals face severe challenges in delivering care during the pandemic. In otolaryngology specifically, there has been difficulty in ensuring patient access to care while maintaining safe environments for patients and staff. Partnership between academic medical centers and critical access rural hospitals is urgently needed to help improve care for vulnerable rural populations.
