    Abstract Study objectives: Drug-induced sleep endoscopy with positive airway pressure evaluates the collapsibility of the upper airway. It is currently unknown whether body position affects this assessment. We sought to determine whether the collapsibility of the airway may change with head of bed elevation.
    Methods: A prospective, consecutive cohort study was performed by 2 sleep surgeons at a tertiary care center. Inclusion criteria included adults 18 years of age and older with obstructive sleep apnea who were intolerant to continuous positive airway pressure therapy. Patients underwent drug-induced sleep endoscopy with positive airway pressure to evaluate them for alternative treatment options. Patients were evaluated in supine position with the head of bed both level and elevated to 30°. The airway was evaluated using the standardized VOTE scoring system in both positions.
    Results: The 61 patients included in the study were predominantly male (70.5%), middle-aged (51.2 years), and obese (body mass index, 30.2 kg/m
    Conclusions: Patients with the head of bed elevated to 30° have a significantly lower degree of airway collapsibility compared to patients in the level position but no significant change in VOTE scoring was observed.

    Abstract Despite widespread resident interest in global health and underserved care, few otolaryngology residency programs offer a formal global health experience. This article is the first to characterize a formal otolaryngology global health and underserved care track with a focus on how this curriculum integrates with and supplements resident education. Components of the track include longitudinal limited-resource field experiences in domestic and abroad settings, a related quality improvement project, and completion of a formalized global health educational curriculum. In addition to delivering humanitarian aid, residents in this track obtain a unique educational experience in all 6 core competencies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Early barriers to implementation included identifying mentorship, securing funding, and managing busy resident schedules. In this work, we detail track components, schedule by track year, keys to implementation, and potential educational pitfalls.

    Abstract Background: Ambient air pollution is well known to cause inflammatory change in respiratory epithelium and is associated with exacerbations of inflammatory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, limited work has been done on the impact of air pollution on pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis and there are no reports in the literature of how pollutant exposure may impact sinonasal histopathology in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
    Objective: This study aims to identify associations between certain histopathologic characteristics seen in sinus tissue of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and levels of particulate air pollution (PM
    Methods: A structured histopathology report was created to characterize the tissues of CRS patients undergoing sinus surgery. An estimate for each patient's exposure to air pollutants including small particulate matter (PM
    Results: Data from 291 CRS patients were analyzed. Higher degree of inflammation was significantly associated with increased ozone exposure (p = 0.031). Amongst the patients with CRSwNP (n=131), presence of eosinophilic aggregates (p = 0.018) and Charcot-Leyden crystals (p = 0.036) was associated with increased ozone exposure.
    Conclusion: Exposure to ambient air pollutants may contribute to pathogenesis of CRS. Increasing ozone exposure was linked to both higher tissue inflammation and presence of eosinophilic aggregates and Charcot-Leyden crystals in CRSwNP patients.

    Abstract Objective: To determine if rapid implementation of simulation training for anticipated COVID-19 tracheostomy procedures can increase physician confidence regarding procedure competency and use of enhanced personal protective equipment (PPE).
    Methods: A brief simulation training exercise was designed in conjunction with the development of a COVID-19 Tracheostomy Protocol. The simulation training focused primarily on provider safety, pre and post-surgical steps and the proper use of enhanced PPE. Simulation training was performed in the simulation lab at the institution over 2 days. Pre and post self-evaluations were measured using standardized clinical competency questionnaires on a 5-point Likert Scale ranging from "No knowledge, unable to perform" up to "Highly knowledgeable and confident, independent."
    Results: Physicians self-reported a significant increase in knowledge and competency immediately after completing the training exercise. Resident physicians increased from a mean score of 3.00 to 4.67, p-value 0.0041, mean increase 1.67 (CI 95% 0.81 to 2.52). Attending physicians increased from a mean score of 2.89 to 4.67, p-value 0.0002, mean increase 1.78 (CI 95% 1.14 to 2.42). Overall, all participants increased from a mean score of 3.06 to 4.71, p-value 0.0001, mean increase 1.65 (CI 95% 1.24 to 2.05).
    Discussion: Implementation of this simulation training at our institution resulted in a significant increase in physician confidence regarding the safe performance of tracheostomy surgery in COVID-19 patients.
    Implications for practice: Adoption of standardized COVID-19 tracheostomy simulation training at centers treating COVID-19 patients may result in improved physician safety and enhanced confidence in anticipation of performing these procedures in real-life scenarios.

    Abstract : We report a case of a 62-year-old woman who was found to have bilateral atrophy of the inferior vestibular nerves on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after presenting to our clinic with 6 years of intermittent vertigo and residual unsteadiness. The nerve atrophy may be associated with an episode of vestibular neuritis, a common cause of vertigo that exclusively involves the inferior vestibular nerve in less than 3% of cases. While MRI may demonstrate vestibular nerve enhancement in cases of acute vestibular neuritis, no single MRI finding has been demonstrated consistently among cases of acute or chronic vestibular neuritis. Physical therapy is likely an effective long-term treatment for this patient to achieve central compensation for symptomatic relief.
