Epistaxis, commonly referred to as nosebleeds, is a frequent clinical presentation with etiologies spanning from localized trauma to systemic conditions and medication effects. Despite its high prevalence, management approaches vary significantly dep...

Background: Hyperthyroidism, characterized by excessive thyroid hormone production, presents in diverse clinical forms, including overt and subclinical disease. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical to prevent complications such as cardiac dysfun...

Background: Fluctuating conductive hearing loss resulting from middle ear conditions, such as otitis media, is the most common cause of hearing loss in children, with Indigenous Peoples experiencing otitis media at a rate three times higher than non-...

Background: Spatial release from masking (SRM) is the improvement in speech intelligibility when the masking signals are spatially separated from the target signal. Young, normal- hearing listeners have a robust auditory sys-tem that is capable of us...

Head and neck masses are a significant diagnostic challenge and differential diagnoses range from inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic conditions. Timely, accurate evaluation is essential for optimal patient outcomes. This review highlights a sys...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a heterogenous disease process that cannot be adequately categorized by AHI alone. There is a significant prevalence of OSA in the general population with ongoing efforts to evaluate the risk factors contributing to O...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the experiences of chronic dizziness diagnosis and management within the health care system. Methods: This qualitative phenomenological study used focus groups to interview a conven...

Background: This study aimed to identify clinical characteristics and classifications of nasal septal deviations associated with revision septoplasty. Methods: The cross-sectional study design included 652 patients undergoing septoplasty at a tertiar...

Background: Ménière’s disease (MD) lacks a universally accepted pathogenesis model. Recent research has revisited the vascular hypothesis. This study aims to compare the cerebrovascular burden in patients with MD and age-matched c...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent pathology with current modalities of treatment including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), surgery, weight loss, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and pharmacotherapy. While CPAP is the current stan...

Schwannoma is a neoplasm originating from cells surrounding and insulating axons in peripheral nerves. It usually presents benign behaviour with slow growth. A significant portion of cases occur in the head and neck region but rarely in the oral cavi...

Ménière’s disease (MD) has an unclear cause. The microvascular dysregulation of the inner ear has been increasingly pointed out as a potential contributor. This study investigates the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVR...

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) as well as the recurrence of AF after rhythm control strategy. However, the data on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and recurrent AF after catheter abla...
