Ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy of cervical lymph nodes for diagnosing head and neck lymphoma compared with open surgical biopsy: Exploration for factors that shape diagnostic yield

This study was conducted to compare the diagnostic yields of Ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy (USG-CNB) and open surgical biopsy (OSB) in head and neck (HN) lymphoma and to identify the factors that shape USG-CNB diagnostic yield.

Response to YAJOT_2018_288 “Letter to the Editor: T2-weighted MRI screening algorithm for patients with asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss”

We thank Drs. O'Bryant and Woo for their thoughtful commentary on our recent publication. We agree that any screening protocol for vestibular schwannoma (VS) or intralabyrinthine schwannoma (ILS) must heavily prioritize asymmetric audiovestibular findings in order to reduce the risk of not scanning a patient with a tumor and scanning too many patients...

T2-weighted MRI screening algorithm for patients with asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss

We read with interest the article by Valesano et al. [1]. As noted in the article, gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI (GdT1WI) has been the “gold standard” imaging study for many years in the diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma in asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL). In recent years, with improved imaging technology, a push toward non-contrast...

Tinnitus perception in patients after vagal nerve stimulator implantation for epilepsy

Vagal nerve stimulation in conjunction with sound therapy has been proposed as a treatment for subjective tinnitus. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review the effect of VNS on perception of tinnitus in epilepsy patients. We explore the incidence of tinnitus and its perceived reduction in patients requiring implantation of VNS for medically...
