Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the clinician's need for quick access to a comprehensive and immediately useful presentation of evidence-based material, the authors and editors have condensed the research on the most common otorhinolaryngological complaints into this indispensable volume. Their unique approach color-codes the level of research backing each set of evidence in order to make assessment of the evidence as quick and useful as possible. Each clinical problem is presented with a "color key," letting the physician know the level of evidence available: green (high-level evidence), yellow (low–moderate levels of evidence), or red (major disagreement or only minimal low-level evidence). The content of each chapter is structured in the same manner so the reader quickly becomes accustomed to finding precisely the information needed for each new case. Featuring sections on general otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, pediatrics, and otology, Evidence-Based Otolaryngology not only presents the research, but gives the clinician immediately applicable recommendations for patient treatment.

This book was released on 2012-10-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) has flourished in recent years and it seems that clinicians, more than ever, crave evidence from the medical literature to inform their clinical care decision making. While it is heartening that great volumes of evidence may exist, it is a daunting task to assimilate, critically review, prioritize, grade, and operationalize this crucial information. This volume of Otolaryngologic Clinics attempts to do just that. This book examines Evidence Based Practices on topics of critical importance to otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons. The evidence has been gathered and is presented by leaders in their respective fields. Topics cover evidence-based practice of: Management of Vertigo, Management of Adult Sensory Neural Hearing Loss, Cochlear Implantation, Reflux in Sinusitus, Balloon Dilation in Otolaryngology, Postoperative Care in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, Functional Rhinoplasty, Sublingual Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis, Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Pediatric Tonsillectomy, Management of Vocal Cord Paralysis, Management of Hoarseness, Endoscopic Skull Base Resection for Malignancy, Management of Glottic Cancer, Management of Thyroid Cancer, and Management of N0 Neck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a critical look at the state of the evidence in the most compelling areas of laryngology. Rather than being a comprehensive text covering every single possible area, it focuses on published works in the 9 areas that are of the most interest to laryngologists as well as speech pathologists, general otolaryngologists, and head and neck oncologists managing laryngologic issues. The state of the literature is succinctly summarized and tabulated in each area, allowing the reader to see which areas have high-grade evidence (Levels 1 or 2) to support decision making, and which areas are in need of better quality studies. Each chapter is divided into three main sections: Diagnosis and Pathophysiology, Surgical management, and Non-surgical management. This makes it easier for the reader to browse to the area of interest in each section and to find the evidence basis for a given concept. Evidence-Based Laryngology will be an invaluable resource to otolaryngologists, residents, speech-language pathologists, and other clinicians who manage laryngological problems and would like to know the evidence basis behind different treatment options.

Book excerpt: The branch of medicine which deals with the surgical treatments of ear, nose and throat as well as related structures such as head and neck, is referred to as otolaryngology. Various sub-specialties of otolaryngology include pediatric otolaryngology, laryngology and voice disorders, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Pediatric otolaryngology deals with velopalatine insufficiency, cleft lip and palate, as well as vascular malformations. Laryngology and voice disorders include phono-surgery and swallowing disorders. Surgeries such as facial cosmetic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, traumatic reconstruction and craniofacial surgery fall under the category of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Another important field of otolaryngology is rhinology which deals with nasal obstruction, nasal septum deviation, sinusitis, environmental allergies, pituitary tumor and empty nose syndrome. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of otolaryngology and how such concepts have practical applications. It includes contributions of experts which will provide innovative insights into this field. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
