    Abstract Objective: This study investigates the physical properties upon immersion of two gelatin sponges commonly used in otologic surgery.
    Background: Absorbable gelatin sponges are often used in middle ear surgery to achieve hemostasis and, perhaps more importantly, to provide a "scaffolding" to support ossicular chain and/or tympanic membrane reconstructions. Their rate of dissolution may therefore affect the success of tympanic membrane closure.
    Methods: An in vitro study was conducted to quantify the material changes of two absorbable gelatin sponges, a standard-density sponge and one with fewer collagen cross-linkages (low-density sponge). Volume loss (%) in 0.9% saline, 0.3% ciprofloxacin, and/or 0.1% dexamethasone as single-agent otic drops in a combination formulation was measured at 15-minute intervals for the first hour and at days 1, 3, and 5 postimmersion. Secondary end points included compressibility, porosity under microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy analysis.
    Results: The low-density sponge immersed in any of the three otic solutions showed a statistically significant greater volume loss at all time points when compared with the standard-density sponge (27.2% ± 5.4% vs. 15.4% ± 6.0% at 15 minutes and 44.8% ± 5.1% vs. 34.6% ± 2.9% at 5 days, p < 0.001). Interestingly, both sponges immersed in normal saline had lost almost half of their original volume after 15 minutes when compared with samples immersed in an otic solution (48.3% ± 4.6% vs. 21.3% ± 8.3%, respectively, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The standard-density sponge immersed in an otic solution of ciprofloxacin, dexamethasone, or a combination formulation best maintained its structural integrity. Ancillary in vivo studies are required to assess the hemostatic properties, surgical outcomes, and middle ear synechiae of the above study conditions.
    Level of evidence: Foundational evidence.

    Abstract The incidence of all head and neck malignancies is rising worldwide, with carcinoma of the larynx constituting approximately 1% of all cancers. Early glottic cancer responds quite favorably to surgical intervention due to its early presentation, coupled with the low rate of regional and distant metastases. This article focuses on various approaches to the surgical treatment of early glottic cancer. Details include the clinical and radiological evaluation of laryngeal cancer, the goals of treatment, current surgical options for early disease, approach to surgical resection margins and management of nodal disease, and complications associated with each treatment modality.

    Abstract We hereby present a rare case of laryngeal zoster presenting with unilateral odynophagia and hemifacial pain in an immunocompetent host. Visualization of the characteristic vesicles is challenging given their short-lived and at times delayed appearance; thus, laryngeal zoster may be a largely unrecognized cause of laryngitis and cranial neuropathies. Heightened awareness may improve prompt diagnosis, referral and initiation of antiviral therapy, while guiding patient counselling on the associated long-term sequelae such as voice and swallowing impairments, and post-herpetic neuralgia.

    Abstract Objectives: Recurrent and primary tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are a challenging surgical pathology to treat, as standard open surgical approaches are associated with high morbidity and mortality. As such, endoscopic modalities have gained interest as an alluring alternative, yet variable success rates have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to provide a contemporary update of the literature and describe our institutional experience with the bronchoscopic obliteration of recurrent and primary TEFs.
    Methods: Retrospective chart review of all pediatric patients having undergone endoscopic TEF repair at two pediatric academic centers in Montreal, Canada and Lille, France between January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2020.
    Results: 28 patients with TEFs (20 recurrent, 8 primary) underwent a total of 48 endoscopic procedures. TEF repair was performed under endoscopic guidance using various combinations of techniques, including fistula de-epithelialization (endoscopic brush, thulium laser, trichloroacetic acid-soaked pledgets or electrocautery), tissue adhesives, submucosal augmentation, esophageal clip and stenting. Successful closure was achieved in 16 patients (57 %), while 12 (43 %) required eventual open or thoracoscopic repair. The mean number of endoscopic procedures was 1.7. There were no major treatment-related complications such as pneumothorax, mediastinitis or death (mean follow-up 50.8 months).
    Conclusions: Endoscopic repair of recurrent or primary TEFs is a valuable component of our therapeutic armamentarium and may contribute to decreased surgical morbidity in this complex patient population. Families should be counselled that endoscopic results may be more modest than with open or thoracoscopic approaches, and multiple procedures may be required.

    Abstract The aim of this work was to compare the classification of cardiac MR-images of AL versus ATTR amyloidosis by neural networks and by experienced human readers. Cine-MR images and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images of 120 patients were studied (70 AL and 50 TTR). A VGG16 convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained with a 5-fold cross validation process, taking care to strictly distribute images of a given patient in either the training group or the test group. The analysis was performed at the patient level by averaging the predictions obtained for each image. The classification accuracy obtained between AL and ATTR amyloidosis was 0.750 for cine-CNN, 0.611 for Gado-CNN and between 0.617 and 0.675 for human readers. The corresponding AUC of the ROC curve was 0.839 for cine-CNN, 0.679 for gado-CNN (p < 0.004 vs. cine) and 0.714 for the best human reader (p < 0.007 vs. cine). Logistic regression with cine-CNN and gado-CNN, as well as analysis focused on the specific orientation plane, did not change the overall results. We conclude that cine-CNN leads to significantly better discrimination between AL and ATTR amyloidosis as compared to gado-CNN or human readers, but with lower performance than reported in studies where visual diagnosis is easy, and is currently suboptimal for clinical practice.
