Article Abstract
The use of standardized imaging protocols is paramount in order to facilitate comparable, reproducible images and, consequently, to optimize patient care. Standardized MR protocols are lacking when studying head and neck pathologies in the pediatric population. We propose an international, multicenter consensus paper focused on providing the best combination of acquisition time/technical requirements and image quality. Distinct protocols for different regions of the head and neck and, in some cases, for specific pathologies or clinical indications are recommended. This white paper is endorsed by several international scientific societies and it is the result of discussion, in consensus, among experts in pediatric head and neck imaging.

ObjectiveTo compare between L pharyngeal flap alone and combined L pharyngeal flap with phenytoin for repair of palatal fistula and velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).MethodsTwenty patients with soft palate fistula and persistent VPI who were divided into two groups. In the first group, superiorly based L pharyngeal flap was harvested from the oropharynx and inserted into the soft palate to close the fistula after fistula trimming.

The human auditory system must distinguish relevant sounds from noise. Severe hearing loss can be treated with cochlear implants (CIs), but how the brain adapts to electrical hearing remains unclear. This study examined adaptation to unilateral CI use in the first and seventh months after CI activation using speech comprehension measures and electroencephalography recordings, both during passive listening and an active spatial listening task.

Background: While osteoporosis in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is widely studied, PHPT patients with osteopenia remain less characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, biochemical features, and estimated fracture risk of osteopenic PHPT patients in a real-life cohort.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of PHPT patients with available densitometric data at three sites.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a well-established near-infrared dye which has been used clinically for several decades. Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of intraoral (IOPBM) and extraoral photobiomodulation (EOPBM) protocols for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with oral or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to submitted radiotherapy (RT).
Methods: This randomized, blinded, multicenter clinical trial enrolled 58 patients with oral or oropharyngeal SCC, who were allocated into two groups matched by treatment type, clinical stage, and RT modality. Group I (IOPBM) received intraoral photobiomodulation (PBM) with a continuous InGaAlP diode laser (660 nm, 100 mW, 0.
