Several studies have evaluated the prognostic significance of Perineural Invasion (IPN) in laryngeal cancer; however, the results are non-conclusive. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis aiming to identify the prognostic value of IPN in laryngeal cancer.

Postoperative chemoradiotherapy has arisen as an adjuvant option for head and neck cancers, but its superiority to radiotherapy alone in patients with adverse pathologic factors is not yet well defined. We aimed to perform an updated meta-analysis comparing outcomes in head and neck cancer patients with adverse pathologic factors who underwent postoperative chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy alone.

Since we published the "IV Brazilian Consensus on Rhinitis", in2017, several advances have been achieved and have enabled a further understanding of the different aspects of "Rhinitis". This new guideline, developed jointly by ASBAI, SBP and SBORL, represents a relevant milestone in the updated and integrated management of the different forms of the disease, and it aims to unify evidence-based approaches to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this common and often underestimated condition. The document covers a wide range of topics, including clear definitions of the different phenotypes and endotypes of rhinitis, risk factors, updated diagnostic criteria, and recommended methods for clinical and laboratory investigation. We stress the importance of detailed clinical history and objective assessment, as well as tools for control and assessing severity tools an accurate diagnostic approach to the disease. Regarding treatment, it emphasizes the treatment customization, considering the severity of symptoms, the presence of comorbidities and the impact on the patient's quality of life. We discuss different drug treatment, in addition to non-pharmacological measures, such as environmental control and specific immunotherapy; and the possible role of immunobiological agents. Furthermore, the consensus addresses issues related to patient education, prevention and management of special situations, such as rhinitis in children, in pregnant women and in the elderly. In short, the "V Brazilian Consensus on Rhinitis" represents a comprehensive and updated guide for healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of rhinitis, aiming to improve patients' quality of life through an integrated and evidence-based approach.

To make evidence-based recommendations for the indications and complications of Cochlear Implant (CI) surgery in adults and children.

The Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family plays an important regulatory role in the development of tumors, but its function is still unclear in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Analyzing the IL-1 family can help to understand the tumor mechanism.

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is a tumor with ethnic and geographic distribution characteristics. HOXA Transcript at the distal Tip (HOTTIP) has been confirmed to have cancer-promoting effects in various tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of HOTTIP in the development of NPC and its role in prognostic assessment.

This study investigated the effects of WN on LE in subjects with chronic tinnitus and normal hearing thresholds. The study was a prospective, non-randomized, before-and-after, intra-participant intervention.
