  Creative Concretions, Pearls and Publication: The Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery on its Thirtieth Year

summary:
  Pearls are calcareous concretions of nacre formed through a biomineralization process incited by an irritant in the tissue of bivalve mollusks, producing concentric layers of crystal-form CaC0 3 (aragonite or calcite) and an organic binding agent, conchiolin.2,3 Interestingly, the modern thirtieth anniversary symbol is the diamond. In contrast to the fiery metamorphosis of carbon to brilliant diamond, pearls are examples of slower creative processes overcoming potential destruction, or patiently making the best of a bad situation, demonstrated by the lowly oyster.

  Together with other public and private institutions, government and non-government organizations and the private sector (including the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Philippine College of Surgeons, and the Philippine Medical Association), tertiary health education should aim to make an impact on all other levels of health education in particular, and education in general. Inequitable access to health is a major barrier to educational access (and vice versa), and solutions to lower or eliminate this barrier will hinge on acquiring adequate and accurate information on universal health coverage, people-centered/point-of-care services, public policy, leadership and governance.4 Moreover, information on psychosocial, socio-cultural, economic, ecological-environmental and political contexts and realities, especially in such a geo- linguistically diverse country as the Philippines is of utmost importance to any leader in health, in education and in health education.

summary:
  It helps journal editors determine whether research conclusions are justified and “new,” gives them an idea of the potential or actual significance of a work1 and adds a “human judgment” element to the academic process while lightening their workload.2 Ideally, this results in a “decision that is constructive, transparent, timely and fair,”1 and that will enhance the final writing product.3 Journals use peer review because it serves as a quality control filter for scholarly information.4 More papers are churned out than can be printed, and the peer review process can weed out fraud and eliminate “bad” science, pseudoscience and harmful science, thereby upholding ethical standards.2,4 Peer review also serves as a mechanism for improving manuscripts; it promotes originality, academic rigor and improves the critical thinking and writing skills of authors, reviewers and editors.3 There are also famous papers that were published and passed peer review, but later proved to be fraudulent (including Jan Hendrik Schon’s 15 papers from 1998-2001 in Science and Nature and Igor and Grichka Bogdanov’s 1999 and 2002 theoretical physics papers “believed by many to be jargon-rich nonsense”).4

  Ehretia Microphylla (Tsaang Gubat) versus Loratadine as Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

summary:
  Current treatment guidelines include recommendations for environmental modifications, antihistamines, decongestants, intranasal cromolyn, intranasal anti-cholinergics, intranasal corticosteroids and immunotherapy.2 Allergic rhinitis carries the burden of impaired quality of life and enormous cost implications.3 Thus, treatment goals focus on alleviating troublesome symptoms of allergic rhinitis at a viable economical cost. In conclusion, Ehretia microphylla (Tsaang Gubat) decoction tea may improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and pruritus) and be taken as an alternative to loratadine in patients with mild intermittent allergic rhinitis.

Normal vocal fold structure and mobility with Grade 1 subglottic stenosis D DISCUSSION Laryngeal stenosis is a partial or complete cicatricial narrowing of the endolarynx and may be congenital or acquired.1 Trauma is the most common cause of acquired laryngeal stenosis, both in children and in adults, and is classified as external laryngeal trauma or internal laryngeal trauma. Wiatrak suggested that conservative management or a “wait-and-see” approach may be considered.4 The management of laryngeal stenosis in infants and young children should be conservative, since in the majority of cases, the stenosis will improve with laryngeal growth.5 While such management may be considered in our case, it is rarely successful for acquired laryngeal stenosis.

  Undifferentiated Nasopharyngeal Malignancy with Immunohistochemical Features of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma and Undifferentiated Carcinoma: A Collision Tumor?

summary:
  Tumor cells exhibit round to ovoid hyperchromatic nuclei, prominent nycleoli and scanty cytoplasm. Theories include: 1) “chance accidental meeting” of two primary tumors; 2) presence of the first tumor alters the microenvironment facilitating the development of the second primary tumor or seeding of metastatic tumor cells; 3) simultaneous proliferation of two different cell lines.23 The occurrence of two primary tumors in the nasopharynx is possible because it is primarily lined with stratified squamous epithelium and is rich in lymphoid cells.

summary:
  Conclusion: Knowledge on post-parathyroidectomy HBS for PHPT may aid clinicians on pre- operative prevention and post-operative monitoring. In addition, HBS was more common in patients who had parathyroidectomy concomitantly with thyroidectomy.2 Another article presented the following risk factors: older age at the time of surgery, higher pre-operative levels of serum calcium, PTH, ALP, decreased serum levels of magnesium and albumin and depleted vitamin D status.3 Radiographic evidence of PHPT-associated bone pathology was likewise deemed to be a risk factor for HBS development.

  Total Parathyroidectomy: A Surgical Management for Uncontrolled Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in a Patient with End Stage Renal Disease

summary:
  Patient’s Biochemical Parameters The indications for parathyroidectomy included PTH levels more than 1000 pg/mL refractory to medication, debilitating pruritus, marked soft tissue calcifications, and hyperphosphatemia.2 High serum PTH and phosphorus levels particularly increase sudden cardiac-related death risks from coronary artery disease4 and their control can reverse left ventricular hypertrophy.5 Increased alkaline phosphatase levels suggested increased bone resorption rates, and anemia probably resulted from ESRD and high PTH levels inhibiting red blood cell production. The postoperative hypocalcemia reflecting a dramatic calcium uptake by bone following post-parathyroidectomy drops in high PTH levels has been termed the “hungry bone syndrome”.7 Autotransplanted parathyroid gland functions 60 days post-operatively PhiliPPine Journal of otolaryngology-head and neck Surgery Vol.

Our experience may indicate a need for further evaluation of the EU revised criteria for Sjögren syndrome classification in the local setting.

This study suggests that age of >45 years, female sex, tumor size of >2 cm, multifocality, presence of extrathyroidal extension and lymph node metastasis may increase the risk of papillary thyroid recurrence although the associations did not reach statistical significance.

summary:
  The ideal treatment for parapharyngeal neurofibromas or schwanommas is surgery,5,7,8 aiming to completely remove tumor with preservation of surrounding nerves and vessels.5 Approaches which depend on tumor size and localization include the transparotid (commonly used for deep-lobe parotid and other pre styloid tumors); the transcervical (for post styloid tumors); and combinations of both.7,8,9 A mandibulotomy may be added to increase exposure but poses risk of injury to the inferior alveolar nerve while providing access to the parapharyngeal space. If the tumor were small, resection would not have been as much a problem.8 Chemotherapy has been considered for such large tumors where surgical complications are likely based on findings that desmoid tumors are similar to plexiform neurfibromas.

Thus, people older than 75 years old have a six time higher risk of contracting aspiration pneumonia than younger individuals. Factors that increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in dysphagia patients include volume of aspirate, oropharyngeal colonization with pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella sp. or E. coli (due to decreased salivary clearance and poor oral hygiene) and poor nutritional status (that leads to decreased immunity).

  This leads to the incorporation of salivary tissues within lymph nodes.16 Neoplasms arising from heterotopic salivary tissues are uncommon, with about 80% being benign.16 Oncogeneseis of cervical salivary tissue is the presumed origin of these tumors. As for heterotopic salivary tissue in the lower neck, Youngs and Scofield suggested a relationship to the branchial apparatus,18 with defective closure of the sinus with salivary gland tissue giving rise to heteroplasia of the ectodermal lining within the remnants of the precervical sinus of His. Willis in 1968 proposed three main hypotheses to explain heterotopia.19 First, an abnormal persistence and development of vestigial structures; second, dislocation of a portion of a definitive organ rudiment during mass movement and development; and third, abnormal differentiation of the local tissues (heteroplasia).

  Conclusions: Proboscis lateralis is a rare congenital anomaly that results in aesthetic problems as well as airway concerns such as rhinosinusitis and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Proboscis lateralis is commonly associated with median facial clefts which cause hypoplasia or agenesis of one side of the nose.4,5 This was consistent with the findings in this patient with agenesis of the right side of the nose and nasal sinuses.

  Since the advent of cochlear implantation, increasing interest in cochlear dimensions and how they affect electrode design and insertion has been observed.1-4 Cadaveric examinations of human cochlea were time-consuming and did not allow real time physiologic correlation.5,6,18 Although 3D reconstruction is the most accurate method of determining cochlear duct length, the spiral coefficient method allows surgeons to use a single linear measurement on pre-operative CT scans to approximate cochlear duct lengths. Since considerable inter-population variations in cochlear duct length has been proven,4-10 the need to produce electrodes accordingly is increasing in order to improve postoperative outcomes.1 Compared to previous methods historically employed in measuring cochlear duct length, Escudé et al.5 provided a single value ‘A’ measured by the surgeon on high-resolution CT images of the temporal bone that predicted electrode placement during surgery.

  Global Health Community Calls for Climate Action Ahead of COP26 to Avert “Biggest Health Threat Facing Humanity”

summary:
  A recent report by UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) found that countries’ collective climate commitments are falling far short of this goal, and would lead to a global temperature rise of at least 2.7°C by the end of the century.3,4 The 45 million health professionals represented in the letter are demanding a rapid and just transition away from fossil fuels; for high income countries to provide the promised transfer of climate funds; for investments in resilient and low carbon health systems; and for pandemic recovery investments to support climate action and reduce social and health inequities.  Both the letter and the report argue that health and equity must be at the center of climate change response; while the letter calls for action, the report provides the blueprint for delivering climate action that will protect the health of people around the world.

  Two weeks course of macrolides have been reported to show significant reduction in eosinophils, macrophages, Il-6, Il-8 and TNF-alpha, which however, lasted only for two weeks after discontinuation of treatment.4 A more recent study done by Fan et al. noted that short-term, high-dose macrolide was effective in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis.17 Endoscopic appearance and SNOT-20 scores, as well as inflammatory markers (IL-5 and IL-8), decreased by the 7th day of Clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily, suggesting that dosage, rather that duration of treatment, offers greater importance in the treatment of nasal polyps.17 However, the question of how long lasting the improvement observed in just 2 weeks of Clarithromycin treatment remains unclear. Since Clarithromycin performed better than Methylprednisolone in the treatment of non-eosinophilic polyps, establishing the low eosinophil count prior to treatment would spare the patient unnecessary corticosteroid medication.

  Quality of Life Among SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Positive Patients with Anosmia Using the Short Version Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders - Negative Statements Translated in Filipino (sQOD-NS Ph)

summary:
  Conclusion: Majority of COVID-19 patients with anosmia had mild or negligible impairment, while a small percentage had impaired quality of life. Patients who complain of anosmia and flu-like symptoms are more likely to test positive for COVID-19 infection.4 Studies regarding the prevalence of smell loss and taste alteration in COVID-19 patients have been reported.5-7 Our previous study showed 95% of patients with anosmia had a positive SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RT-PCR test.8 Another study found that out of 394 COVID-19 patients, 161 (41%) exhibited sudden olfactory and/or gustatory dysfunction, 66.2% suffered from anosmia and 88.8% reported gustatory disorders.5

summary:
  An institutional policy needs to be considered to ensure that temporal bone CT scans be obtained using techniques that can appropriately describe the status of the middle ear and adjacent structures with better reliability. Critical to the management of cholesteatoma is the definitiveness of diagnostic workups.3,4 In particular, CT scans often dictate whether surgery is indicated in problematic and chronically discharging ears.5,6 Preoperative CT scans influence the decision for and timing of surgical exploration.7 However, although temporal bone CT scans can accurately demonstrate the presence of abnormal tissue in the middle ear, they cannot ascertain whether or not this soft tissue density represents a cholesteatoma.8 This study aims to determine the correlation between pre-operative in-house temporal bone CT scan readings and intraoperative findings during mastoidectomy for cholesteatoma in a tertiary government hospital.

  Timing of Tracheostomy, Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation and Duration of Hospitalization among a Sample of Pediatric Patients

summary:
  Although early tracheostomy did not show significant association with shortened post-tracheostomy duration of mechanical ventilation (O.R. 6; C.I. 0.276 to 130.322; p = .476), two-sample t-tests showed the early tracheostomy group had a significantly shorter mean duration of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization compared to the late tracheostomy group (13.17 vs. 54.13 days, p = .0012; 21.17 vs. 66.67 days, p = .0032). Conclusion: Although early tracheostomy does not shorten post-tracheostomy mechanical ventilation support, there is a significant difference in the duration of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization between early and late tracheostomy groups and this may suggest potential benefits of performing tracheostomy earlier in children.

  Association of Glycemic Index Using HbA1c and Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

summary:
  PhiliPPine Journal of otolaryngology-head and neck Surgery REVIEW ARTICLE ABSTRACT Objective: To systematically review the available evidence on the association of HBA1c levels and development of sensorineural hearing loss and to quantitatively analyze the available data on HBA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and sensorineural hearing loss to determine an HbA1c level that may be associated with the risk of having sensorineural hearing loss. Methods: Design: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Eligibility Criteria: Cross-sectional studies, or cohort studies which were limited to English language that investigated the correlation of glycemic index using HBA1c and sensorineural hearing loss among adult type 2 diabetic patients which were done from January 2010 to December 2021. There was a significantly lower incidence of sensorineural hearing loss in non-diabetic patients with a risk ratio of 1.89, 95% CI

  Facial Paralysis in Longitudinal versus Oblique and Otic-Sparing versus Non Otic-Sparing Temporal Bone Fractures 

summary:
  Facial paralysis is a severely disfiguring complication of temporal bone fractures wherein 7% result in facial paralysis.2 Facial nerve palsy occurs in 20% of longitudinal temporal bone fractures and 50% of transverse temporal bone fractures.4 A previous study found that the incidence of facial paralysis was 10%-20% in longitudinal fractures and 50% in transverse fractures.5 Both longitudinal and oblique fractures run parallel to the long axis of the petrous ridge and together account for 75-80% of temporal bone fractures with the facial nerve involved in 20-25%.6 A study by Proctor et al. demonstrated that 80% of temporal bone fractures were longitudinal and 20% were transverse.7 Several studies shows that 50% of transverse fractures will present with facial nerve paralysis.8,9 ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the proportion of temporal bone fractures using traditional (longitudinal vs. transverse) and otic involvement (otic sparing vs. non-otic sparing) classification schemes and their relationship with the development of facial paralysis.

  It is of particular interest that the ability to hear one’s own eye movements, a condition known as eye movement autophony, currently appears to have been described as a symptom only in patients with semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome.3 Anecdotally, although the author of this report has diagnosed quite a number of patients with semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome manifesting primarily with vestibular symptoms, this particular case is the only one that presented with eye movement autophony as the primary and only symptom. The dehiscent left superior semicircular canal is clearly demonstrated (white solid arrow).

  Morbidity Outcomes of Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection with Total Thyroidectomy versus Total Thyroidectomy Alone in Patients with Node Negative Papillary Thyroid Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

summary:
  This meta-analysis showed that there is a significantly increased risk for locoregional recurrence in the total thyroidectomy alone group (1.96% TT with pCND VS 2.60% TT, RR=0.62, 95% Cl=0.40-0.95, p=.03), permanent hypoparathyroidism in the total thyroidectomy with prophylactic central neck dissection group (5.72% TT with pCND vs 3.34% TT, RR=2.19, 95% Cl=1.62-2.98, p=.00001) and no significant difference for vocal cord paralysis between the 2 groups (RR=1.56, 95% Cl=0.86-2.84, p=.14). The primary objective of this meta-analysis is to compare locoregional recurrence, vocal cord paralysis and permanent hypoparathyroidism in patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma without neck node metastases, after total thyroidectomy with and without prophylactic central neck dissection.

  The Relationship of Surgeon Handedness and Experience on Operative Duration and Hearing Improvement in Ipsilateral and Contralateral Otologic Surgeries

summary:
  Although there was also no significant difference between surgeon handedness and surgical site laterality in terms of hearing gain, the ipsilateral group operated on by surgeons with 10 or more years of experience attained hearing gains better by 7dB. Because of these, my hypothesis that operative duration should be shorter and hearing gain will be better when operative ears are ipsilateral to the surgeon’s dominant hand, and that these outcomes may be further improved with surgeon experience greater than ten years, cannot just be dismissed outright. Would surgeon experience contribute to the effect of such surgeon-patient positioning? Hypothesizing that operative duration should be shorter and hearing gain will be better when operative ears are ipsilateral to the surgeon’s dominant hand, and that these outcomes may be further improved with surgeon experience greater than ten years, this research aims to determine the difference in the operative duration and hearing improvement between patients whose surgical site was ipsilateral the surgeon’s dominant hand compared to those whose surgical site was contralateral the surgeon’s dominant hand, and to further explore whether this relationship may be related to surgeon experience.

But as has been eloquently pointed out by Amit Joshi2 the impact factor of a journal is not the same as its impact, or the impact of individual journal articles: A high impact factor journal may have zero impact in a remote Pacific island, just as a low impact (or no impact factor journal) may have very high impact in the country where it is read.

summary:
  For instance, challenges facing Philippine journals have been previously described.7 According to Tecson-Mendoza, “these challenges relate to (1) the proliferation of journals and related problems, such as competition for papers and sub-par journals; (2) journal funding and operation; (3) getting listed or accredited in major citation databases; (4) competition for papers; (5) reaching a wider and bigger readership and paper contribution from outside the country; and (6) meeting international standards for academic journal publications.”7 As Gee and Talley put it, “will the rise of open access journals spell the end of the subscription model?”6 If full open access will be unsustainable for such a leading hybrid medical journal as the Medical Journal of Australia,6 what will happen to the many smaller, low- and middle-income country (southern) journals that cannot sustain a fully open-access model?

  Salivary pH and Taste Sensitivity among Geriatric and Non-Geriatric Patients in a Tertiary Hospital: A Cross Sectional Study

summary:
  Bitter taste as elicited by alkaloid quinine is the most sensitive of all taste qualities.16 In our study, the geriatric group had higher taste sensitivity for bitter than the non-geriatric group. In the geriatric group, among the 4 tastants, the strongest correlation between taste sensitivity and salivary pH was observed for quinine followed by sucrose and NaCl, but no correlation for citric acid.

  Endoscopic Management of Sinonasal Vascular Tumors Without Embolization: Our Experience with Vessel Ligation

summary:
  There are other techniques to reduce intraoperative blood loss in non-embolized sinonasal vascular tumors, but these are rarely documented. They include intraoperative external carotid artery (ECA) ligation,2 sphenopalatine artery (SPA) ligation,8 and (ligation/s performed by Borghei et al.).9 However, to the best of our knowledge, based on a search of HERDIN Plus, the ASEAN Citation Index (ACI), WHO Global Index Medicus (Western Pacific Region Index Medicus and Index Medicus of the Southeast Asia Region), Directory of Open Access Journals, MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar, there are no local studies on such other techniques to reduce intraoperative blood loss in non-embolized sinonasal vascular tumors.

summary:
  A German study revealed that K. pneumoniae in deep neck infection patients with diabetes is common due to increased oropharyngeal colonization by gram-negative bacilli and defects on host defenses, specifically the phagocytic function which predispose them to invasive type of infections.14 Culture and sensitivity is a great tool in giving appropriate antimicrobial therapy in these types of serious bacterial infections. These sites are infrequently identified as potential nidus for diabetic-related complications, with blindness, kidney failure, cardiovascular events and lower limb amputation as the most commonly identified consequences that impact significantly on diabetic patients.3 Several studies revealed that diabetes mellitus is the most commonly associated systemic disease in deep neck infections with a unique clinical picture in comparison with those without diabetes mellitus.10,11

The other two patients experienced CSF leak 3 days postoperatively.

  Self-Inflicted Craniofacial Impalement Injury with a Screwdriver During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Report

summary:
  Keywords: craniofacial impalement injuries; endoscopic sinus surgery; COVID-19 pandemic Craniofacial impalement injuries are uncommon, and when encountered are a cause for conversation because of their eccentric location and strange objects involved.1 Skull base involvement makes cases even more complex, potentially causing such complications as CSF leak, meningitis, hydrocephalus, nerve or vessel injury, and even death.2 Even in the best of times, the skull base surgery required for such an impalement injury poses a formidable multidisciplinary challenge. Craniofacial impalement injury seldom occurs and usually only a few survive when it happens because of its fatal complications.3 Pavlidis et al. discussed 21 incidents of perforating screwdriver craniocerebral injuries reported from 1950 to 2016, of which only 2 out of 21 were suicide attempts.4 Impalement in the orbital area is uncommon, accounting only for 2 out of the 21 cases, although the mortality rate for overall screwdriver impalement was high (9 out of 21 cases; 47.6%).4

summary:
  Most are unilocular although multilocular examples are encountered occasionally.1 Secondary inflammation may render these diagnostic features unrecognizable and non-specific.2 Morphologic differential diagnoses include other odontogenic cysts and unicystic ameloblastoma. The corrugated and parakeratinized epithelial surface is sufficiently consistent to allow recognition of an OKC over other odontogenic cysts, while the absence of a stellate reticulum and reverse nuclear polarization will not favor the latter diagnosis.2,3 Odontogenic keratocysts are developmental in origin arising from remnants of the dental lamina.
