    Abstract Objective: Paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM) is characterized by inappropriate adduction of vocal folds during inspiration causing dyspnea. While anxiety is suspected to be a predisposing factor, incidence has been understudied.
    Study designs: Retrospective review.
    Setting: Multidisciplinary PVFM hospital clinic.
    Methods: We used patient-reported outcome measures to examine anxiety and depression in consecutive patients aged 10 to 17 years using Pediatric SFv1.1 Anxiety 8b and Level 2-Depression inventories (parents completed proxy forms). T-scores were classified as normal (none to slight <55) or elevated (mild 55-59.9, moderate 60-69.9, severe >70).
    Results: Twenty-three pediatric patients and 20 parents completed surveys. Mean age was 13.74 years. For anxiety, 69.6% of patients and 40% of parents identified elevated levels. For depression, 30.4% of patients and 15% of parents identified elevated levels. Therapy need for the sample was 65.2% (34.8% active in services and 30.4% referred). Child anxiety scores were significantly higher in the therapy need group, U = 17, P = .004.
    Conclusion: This study of adolescents with PVFM confirmed elevated anxiety and depression scores in 2/3 of the participants. Anxiety likely precedes diagnosis and is a predisposing factor. Referral for individualized intervention targeting anxiety and depression is indicated.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this review was to determine the ability of ultrasound (US) to assess the subglottic airway in pediatric patients to estimate the appropriate size of endotracheal tube (ETT).
    Data sources: Pubmed, Scopus, and Embase databases.
    Methods: A search of the literature was performed for studies that utilized ultrasonography to examine the minimal transverse diameter of the subglottic airway (MTDSA) in the pediatric (age < 18) population to estimate endotracheal tube (ETT) size. Articles were excluded if they involved adults or non-humans, had no comparison method, or were case reports. The primary outcome was the successful use of ultrasound compared to the reference standard defined by the study.
    Results: Sixteen studies were included, for a total of 1,633 pediatric subjects in whom transcervical laryngeal ultrasound was used prospectively to examine the MTDSA to estimate ETT size prior to intubation. Ultrasound reliably predicted the clinically best fit endotracheal tube by air leak test in 48-100% of subjects, while age-based formulas were accurate 24-95% of the time. Ultrasound was highly predictive of proper size, with R2 ranging between 0.684 to 0.980. Of those reintubated (n = 104), 86 (83%) required larger-sized tubes, while 18 (17%) required smaller-sized tubes. Both methods tended to underestimate ETT size, but the age-based formulas accounted for most of these differences.
    Conclusion: Transcervical laryngeal ultrasound appears to be a reliable predictor of endotracheal tube size in children undergoing elective surgery, which has implications for preventing intubation-related trauma and ensuring adequate ventilation for those who may require prolonged intubation.

    Abstract Multiplex imaging technologies allow the characterization of single cells in their cellular environments. Understanding the organization of single cells within their microenvironment and quantifying disease-status related biomarkers is essential for multiplex datasets. Here we proposed SNOWFLAKE, a graph neural network framework pipeline for the prediction of disease-status from combined multiplex cell expression and morphology in human B-cell follicles. We applied SNOWFLAKE to a multiplex dataset related to COVID-19 infection in humans and showed better predictive power of the SNOWFLAKE pipeline compared to other machine learning and deep learning methods. Moreover, we combined morphological features inside graph edge features to utilize attribution methods for extracting disease-relevant motifs from single-cell spatial graphs. The underlying subgraphs were further analyzed and associated with disease status across the dataset. We showed that SNOWFLAKE successfully extracted significant low dimensional embedding from subgraphs with a clear separation between disease status and helped characterize unique cellular interactions in the subgraphs. SNOWFLAKE is a generalizable pipeline for the analysis of multiplex imaging data modality by extracting disease-relevant subgraphs guided by graph-level prediction.

    Abstract Vocal cord paralysis is a common cause of respiratory and feeding problems in the pediatric population. While the causes of vocal cord paralysis are multiple, iatrogenic injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve after cardiovascular surgery is the most frequent cause. Vocal cord paralysis increases the risk of swallowing dysfunction, tracheal aspiration and pneumonia. It also increases the need for nasoenteric feeds and gastrostomy tube placement. Flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing vocal cord paralysis, but it has significant drawbacks: it is uncomfortable, it can trigger a cardiovascular event in children with unstable cardiovascular status, it can be challenging to perform, and it can be difficult to interpret. Laryngeal US has become a popular imaging modality to evaluate the function of the vocal cords. Laryngeal US is well-tolerated, easy to perform, simple to interpret and has a lower physiological impact compared to flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy. Laryngeal US is an accurate and low-cost diagnostic test for vocal cord paralysis. In this review, we describe the anatomy of the larynx and recurrent laryngeal nerve; the causes, symptoms and pathophysiology of vocal cord paralysis; laryngeal US technique; diagnostic criteria for vocal cord paralysis; and a reporting system.

    Abstract Objective: To characterize our experience with super-absorbent polymer beads placed in the external auditory canal to better understand the damage caused and subsequent management required.
    Methods: Retrospective chart review of pediatric patients at 2 separate tertiary referral centers.
    Results: Seven patients were identified as having placed super-absorbent polymer beads in the external auditory canal, 6 of whom required removal under general anesthesia. Three patients did not suffer otologic trauma or hearing loss (average foreign body duration <72 hours). Four patients experienced severe otologic complications (average foreign body duration >1 week), all of whom were treated with otologic drops prior to bead identification. Of this severe complication group, 3 patients had restored hearing after surgical intervention, while 1 patient suffered profound hearing loss secondary to labyrinthitis ossificans.
    Conclusion: Early recognition of otologic foreign bodies is important, particularly if expansile water-bead is suspected. Depending on timeframe, water beads are highly destructive to the middle ear structures, and most patients will require surgical intervention.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Vocal nodules are a common presentation in children, representing the most common cause of dysphonia.
    Recent findings: Children with siblings, ADHD, and of male sex are most likely to be affected. Female children, however, tend to have more likely progression into adolescence. Quality-of-life indices can aid in screening for vocal nodules whereas stroboscopy, and possibly, ultrasound are required for definitive diagnosis.
    Summary: Management has not significantly changed over time and should begin with conservative behavioral and environmental modifications along with voice therapy in those more severely impacted. Though immediate outcomes vary somewhat depending on management direction, the overall prognosis seems to be good even with lack of intervention. It is most critical to ensure a definitive diagnosis, and offer management therapies that are appropriate for the level of impact the vocal nodules have on communication and voice production in the child.

    Abstract We report an unusual case of a 14-month-old ex-28 week, ventilator-dependent male with a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and tracheostomy at 2 months of age. Lost to follow-up, at age 9 months, he presented to the emergency department with worsening respiratory distress. The patient was taken to the operating room at which time direct visualization of the airway demonstrated a mass filling the entire glottic inlet without supraglottic or pharyngeal mucosal attachments. The solid, nonvascular, mass appeared to be emanating from a suprastomal site. Excision proved to relieve the airway obstruction and postoperatively the patient has thrived.

    Abstract Background: To monitor olfactory/gustatory dysfunction and its relationship to SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody responses in an adolescent population.
    Methods: Adolescents with changes in olfactory/gustatory functions were enrolled in a 15-month study. The patients were evaluated with 1) SNOT-22, 2) pediatric smell wheel, and 3) SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing. The relationship between these scores and length of anosmia, and the amount of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were assessed. A brain MRI was performed in cases of persistent special sensory symptoms.
    Results: Eighteen patients were identified with smell and/or taste complaints. Most of the patients were female (67%) and median age was 15 years (range 11-17). Twelve patients had prior SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing, with only five patients with a positive result. The median SNOT-22 score was 16 (range 0-52) and the median smell wheel score was 6.5 (range 1-11). Patients with taste difficulty were more likely to have a score less than eight. 78% of the patients tested positive for antibodies and there was a strong negative correlation between smell wheel score and antibody level (Spearman, ρ = -0.798, p = 0.002). Five patients underwent MRI scan, and all resulted as normal olfactory bulb structures. 66% received nasal corticosteroids. 11 patients presented in follow up.
    Conclusions: Adolescents presenting to a pediatric ENT clinic during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic were likely to have prolonged (>6 weeks) symptoms of SARS-CoV-2. The majority do not report positive PCR testing result but do report systemic symptoms including anosmia. This suggests that anosmia may be both a late and prolonged symptom of SARS-CoV-2.
