TL;DR: The quality of providingSLP services during the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative effects of the disease on the provision of SLP services are described.

TL;DR: In sum, cochlear implants promote development of hearing in children and the best outcomes are achieved by providing early access to sound in both ears, which can be limited by known social determinants of health which restrict access to needed support and medical comorbidities which add further complexity in care and outcome.

TL;DR: A specific protocol designed to improve safety during pediatric laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy is presented, with the goal of constructing a tent around the patient to decrease widespread contamination of dispersed droplets and generated aerosol.

TL;DR: Guidelines for operating on paediatric otolaryngological patients when necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic are presented, and experience gathered during microlaryngobronchoscopy on a CO VID-19 positive infant is incorporated.

TL;DR: The interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors and the consequent epigenetic, microbiota and immunological changes, were found to led to the development of AR and A in children, with both atopic and non-atopic pathways.

TL;DR: Paucity of research, poor regional representation, non-standardised methods and low-quality reporting preclude accurate assessment of disease burden in LMIC and disadvantaged populations.

TL;DR: The recommendations formulated in this IPOG consensus statement may be used along with existing clinical practice guidelines to improve the quality of care and to reduce variation in care for children with OSA.

TL;DR: 3D printing for surgical planning not only improves pre-operative assessment of surgical approach and stent customization, but also helps facilitate patient/family education.

TL;DR: The novel survey has demonstrated the vast potential that the integration of VOPCs can offer paediatric otolaryngology services within a carefully selected cohort of patients as well as collating patient feedback to elicit long-term sustainability post COVID-19.

TL;DR: Auditory performance and speech production were significantly improved in all inner ear malformation patient groups, and no significant difference was observed between the scores of patients with different types of anomaly.

TL;DR: A structured way for the operative team to approach AGP to reduce aerosolisation of secretions, decrease open airway time and minimise staff exposure is explored to mitigate exposure to SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: In a tertiary sleep unit, a full spectrum of sleep disordered breathing in Down syndrome was seen from infancy onwards and children with multiple studies reflected disease surveillance, including follow-up after treatment interventions.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that TP can be a safe and reliable tool for improving CA and that alternate modes of service delivery should be studied and implemented.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-sectional analysis of the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Child Balance Supplement administered to parents/caregivers of children aged 3-17 years was conducted to evaluate the associations between vertigo and cognitive and psychiatric conditions among a large sample of U.S. children.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of otitis media microbiome literature published between 1st July 2015 and 30th June 2019 finds that minimum reporting standards are critically needed to improve inter-study comparisons and enable future meta-analyses.

TL;DR: Cochlear implantation benefits speech recognition in noise and sound localization ability in children with SSD at different ages, and all implanted children are full-time users regardless of age or duration of deafness before implantation.

TL;DR: This study supports literature that PRS is most commonly associated with Stickler Syndrome but rarely associated with 22q11 DS given that only 1 patient had both PRS and 22q 11 DS.

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of plastic bronchitis in children with limited treatment options is described, with bronchoscopy and chest physiotherapy for airway clearance among the most-utilized therapies.

TL;DR: There are clear, reproducible advantages to bioresorbable intraluminal stents in pediatric airway obstruction, as well as common pitfalls, that warrant further research.

TL;DR: In this population of children with DS, the OSA prevalence was over 80%, wherefore continued screening and treatment are strongly supported and the efficiency and results of ATE and APP treatments are compared.

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent advances in EES for the treatment of acquired cholesteatoma, benefits, current challenges, and a discussion on the indications and contraindications of EES.

TL;DR: Overall, pediatric otolaryngology fellowship directors reported the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the overall fellowship experience within the field of Pediatrics, with the majority feeling that both their fellows surgical and clinical experience have been significantly impacted.

TL;DR: With the advancement of tissue engineering technologies such as 3D and 4D bioprinting, MSCs can be used to design patient-specific scaffolds, which may contain physical and chemical guidance cues to improve the extent and rate of targeted tissue regeneration.

TL;DR: Point of care, clinician performed, LUS can be used for the identification of VFMI with substantial agreement with FNL with good inter-rater reliability and provides clinicians with another tool in their armamentarium for the evaluation of challenging larynges.

TL;DR: Pediatric JORRP consensus recommendations are aimed at improving care and outcomes in this patient population and are targeted for otolaryngologists, primary care providers, pulmonologists, infectious disease specialists, and any other health care providers that manage patients with JOR RP.

TL;DR: The main themes that arose in OM pathogenesis were around the need for symptomatic viral infections to develop disease and the need to develop prevention and preventative therapies that do not rely on antibiotics and protect against the development of the initial OM episode.

TL;DR: This study reveals that hearing problems are common in this population, especially among younger children, and shows a strong need for systematic monitoring of hearing status among children and increasing awareness of parents and educators of the significance of hearing loss, including unilateral and mild hearing loss.

TL;DR: It was found that medical students with no prior exposure to ear anatomy or surgical training were able to use the simulator as an introduction to the specialty and perceived improvement in their medical knowledge and basics of a procedural skill was perceived.

TL;DR: An individualized approach is essential, as the timeline of deterioration of swallowing function varies widely in patients with SMA type I, and the need for individualized management of swallowing difficulty is essential.
