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. keywords: days; duration; group; patients; philippine; tracheostomy; ventilation cache: pjohns-1097.pdf plain text: pjohns-1097.txt item: #5 of 495 id: pjohns-11 author: Lapeña, José Florencio F. title: Peer Review and the PJOHNS: Principles, Problems, and Promise date: 2018-07-12 words: 1501 flesch: 50 summary: Peer review is intended to improve the accuracy, clarity and completeness of published manuscripts and to help editors decide which manuscripts to publish.

It is used for meat processing, personal care and pet food products and in recent years as medicine.6 Carragelose® is claimed to have multiple properties including anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory.6-8 Carragelose® nasal spray (Betadine™ Marinomed Biotech AG, Mundipharma Laboratories GmbH) is used to shorten the duration of common colds primarily by trapping and clearing viruses in mucus, hindering their binding or entry into the cell.6 To the best of our knowledge, a search of HERDIN, MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane and Google Scholar revealed no published study on the use of carragelose® on nasal packing after ESS. keywords: carragelose; head; iqr; mdn =; mupirocin; nasal; neck; surgery; u = cache: pjohns-1503.pdf plain text: pjohns-1503.txt item: #64 of 495 id: pjohns-1505 author: Barzaga, Gillian title: The Relationship of Surgeon Handedness and Experience on Operative Duration and Hearing Improvement in Ipsilateral and Contralateral Otologic Surgeries date: 2020-12-01 words: 3748 flesch: 44 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. keywords: head; hearing; ipsilateral; neck; patients; surgeon; surgery cache: pjohns-1505.pdf plain text: pjohns-1505.txt item: #65 of 495 id: pjohns-1507 author: Santos, Jesusa title: Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and Clinicodemographic Profiles of Patients with Head and Neck Infections in a Philippine Tertiary Government Hospital date: 2020-12-01 words: 4470 flesch: 53 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 keywords: diabetes; diabetic; head; infections; journal; neck; neck infections; neck surgery; otolaryngology; patients; philippine; pubmed; surgery cache: pjohns-1507.pdf plain text: pjohns-1507.txt item: #66 of 495 id: pjohns-1509 author: Rojo, Josephine Grace; Ramos, Rachel Zita title: Assessment of Nasal Airflow and Pain, Safety and Cost of an Improvised Nasal Airway (Nasogastric) Tube After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery date: 2020-12-01 words: 4134 flesch: 52 summary: July – december 2020 ORIGINAL ARTICLES ABSTRACT Objective: To compare subjective nasal airflow and overall pain score (as well as safety and added cost of ) using an improvised nasal airway tube (nasogastric tube) versus nasal packing after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).

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 keywords: covid-19; head; journal; neck; otolaryngology; philippine; philippine journal; right; surgery cache: pjohns-1653.pdf plain text: pjohns-1653.txt item: #87 of 495 id: pjohns-1655 author: Villar, Paulina Maria Angela; Chua, Ryan; Robles, Ruby title: Smell Training in Prolonged COVID-19 PostInfectious Olfactory Dysfunction: A Case Report date: 2021-05-30 words: 4067 flesch: 57 summary: Smell training has been known to improve olfactory sensitivity through structured, short term exposure to odors.22 Anosmic patients are advised smell training by being exposed to four odorants twice a day over three months, and then another four odorants in the next three months.23 This therapy to enhance or amplify olfactory recovery was proposed by Hummel et al.,22 speculating that it improves odor thresholds (and by implication the architecture of the peripheral olfactory system), and that olfactory training changes the processing of olfactory information. Based on their 2009 study, patients who underwent smell training noted increases in their olfactory function over baseline compared to those who did not.22 A follow up study in 2015 reported increased improvement in smell discrimination and identification when scents were changed after 3 months.23 Smell training traditionally utilizes four scents – clove, rose, lemon, and eucalyptus.22 keywords: anosmia; covid-19; dysfunction; head; journal; neck; olfactory; otolaryngology; pubmed; smell; surgery; training cache: pjohns-1655.pdf plain text: pjohns-1655.txt item: #88 of 495 id: pjohns-1657 author: Cafino, Rentor title: The Use of Commercially Available Non-Medical Grade USB Cameras for Physician Guided ENT Out-Patient Self-Examination During the COVID-19 Pandemic date: 2021-05-30 words: 5026 flesch: 54 summary: Commercially available USB cameras A.

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. keywords: findings; head; journal; neck; neck surgery; otolaryngology; philippine; philippine journal; surgery cache: pjohns-1839.pdf plain text: pjohns-1839.txt item: #127 of 495 id: pjohns-1841 author: Head Neck Surg, Philip J Otolaryngol title: Contents Vol. 36 No.2 July-December 2021 date: 2021-11-11 words: 718 flesch: 23 summary: By Rene Louie C.

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. keywords: cochlear; duct; head; length; mean; neck; otolaryngology; surgery; turn cache: pjohns-2027.pdf plain text: pjohns-2027.txt item: #146 of 495 id: pjohns-2031 author: Sangalang, Marice; Gansatao, Fatima; Dizon, Alfred Peter Justine; Onofre-Telan, Rubiliza title: A New Extraoral Closed Reduction Technique for Temporomandibular Joint Dislocation: A Preliminary Case Series date: 2022-11-15 words: 2775 flesch: 45 summary: A systematic review by Perchel et al. in 20182 reported that extraoral reduction techniques have low success rates when used for patients with bilateral dislocation.

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. keywords: 7th; day; eosinophilic; head; journal; nasal; neck; neck surgery; otolaryngology; philippine; philippine journal; pre; surgery; treatment cache: pjohns-257.pdf plain text: pjohns-257.txt item: #191 of 495 id: pjohns-261 author: Carlos, Avian Loren C.; Gelera, January E. title: Prevalence of Supraorbital Ethmoid Air Cells among Filipinos date: 2018-11-13 words: 2437 flesch: 56 summary: Conclusion: Our study suggests that Filipinos may have a higher prevalence rate of SOEC than their Chinese, Japanese and Korean counterparts and bilateral SOEC are more predominant than unilateral SOEC.

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. keywords: airway; head; intubation; neck; otolaryngology; stenosis; surgery cache: pjohns-361.pdf plain text: pjohns-361.txt item: #239 of 495 id: pjohns-363 author: Bickle, Ian C. title: Facial Palsy and Mastoiditis from Fibrous Dysplasia date: 2015-12-02 words: 829 flesch: 49 summary: Axial High Resolution CT of the Mastoids: Diffusely sclerotic, expansile left temporal bone with a ground-glass appearance (**) and sharp transition to normal bone (wide black arrow).
