Introduction: Otolaryngology consultation for infant airway obstruction is common, with nasolaryngoscopy being the primary diagnostic tool. However, traditional awake nasolaryngoscopy is often limited by infant crying and brief examinations. A more detailed drug-induced sleep endoscopy requires anesthesia and operating room resources.

Objectives: To develop, describe, and validate a novel hybrid training model for endoscopic septoplasty that combines pig ears with a 3D-printed model.
Methods: The pig ear was chosen for its similarity to the human septum and wide availability. A frame for the nasal septum substitute was designed to mimic the appearance of a human nose, securely anchor the septum, and create a bend to simulate a deviated septum.
Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma remains challenging due to high recurrence rates and poor survival outcomes. Developing precise technologies for disease burden assessment, treatment response, and minimal residual disease (MRD) surveillance is crucial for improving prognosis.
Methods: This review explores the potential of liquid biopsy for MRD and recurrence detection.
Objective: The management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has substantially changed over the past two centuries. This review explores the historical progression of HNSCC management focusing on the multidisciplinary treatment paradigm.
Data Sources: This review synthesizes data from historical and current clinical trials, books, scientific reports, public documents, and other written material relevant to HNSCC management.
Objective: To investigate the effect of heated-cigarette smoking on voice.
Methods: Participants completed a survey including three sections: section-1 comprised demographic data, section-2 comprised visual analogue scale grading of voice changes and fatigue and section-3 consisted of the voice handicap index-10.
Results: Two hundred and eighty-two participants filled the survey.

Introduction: Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia (ADSD) is the most common form of spasmodic dysphonia. It encompasses various symptoms affecting voice and speech. The objective of this study is to report the management of patients with ADSD using the transnasal endoscopic approach for laryngeal Botulinum Toxin (Botox) injection.

Data Sources: MEDLINE (OVID) (2005-March 2022), Embase (2005-March 2022) and Google Scholar (2005-August 2022), supplemented with a review of reference lists and forward citation tracking.
Design: Reviewers selected eligible studies and abstracted data in duplicate and independently.
Purpose: To review the literature on health research collaborations by academic entities and to identify the main phases, components, and concepts of these research collaborations.
Method: The authors conducted a systematic review of the literature, searching 4 databases in March 2022 for studies on health research collaboration between an academic entity (individual, group, or institution) and any other entity included. They excluded non-health-related studies and studies in which collaboration was not for the purpose of research.
