Summary: This study found that horses clinically affected with RLN exhibit significant fibre-type grouping and decreased fibre diameter in the L-CAD muscle, with expression of embryonic myosin indicating regenerative capacity. Despite some remaining fibres showing hypertrophy, there is an overall atrophy of fibres, loss of IIX fibres, and depletion of type IIX fibres in affected horses.

Summary: This study compares the results of transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography with laryngoscopy and finds that transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography can be used for evaluating vocal cord mobility with high diagnostic accuracy. It can be considered as an alternative method when laryngoscopy is not available or refused by patients.

Summary: Bilateral RLNP following esophagectomy is rare but requires attention to prevent severe respiratory complications. The majority of patients are able to achieve oral ingestion after intensive rehabilitation, emphasizing the importance of feeding education and respiratory rehabilitation in managing these patients.

Summary: Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve caused by external compression may contribute to vocal fold paralysis. The study found differences in composition and response to compression between the right and left nerves in pigs. This research sheds light on the etiology of idiopathic vocal fold paralysis.

Summary: The routine use of continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring can improve the rate of intraoperative adverse electromyography events, but does not significantly impact the rates of loss of signal and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.

Summary: This study compared the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (Lrln) and left cricoarytenoideus dorsalis (LCAD) muscle between domestic and feral horses. The results showed evidence of nerve regeneration suggesting recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) in the domestic population, but the higher proportion of type IIX muscle fibers in the feral population did not support RLN. Further investigation is needed to clarify the significance and wider occurrence of these differences.

Summary: This study found that intraoperative placement of a human amnion/chorion membrane (HACM) allograft on damaged recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid surgery can reduce the occurrence and duration of RLN injury. These findings are significant in addressing a major complication of head and neck surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of stitch placement on arytenoid medialization by measuring cricoarytenoid joint anatomy and changes in arytenoid position. Results showed anatomical differences between males and females, with superior-medial arytenoid placement resulting in better medialization and glottic aperture configuration compared to inferior-lateral placement.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the recovery rate and time of post-thyroidectomy recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis, and found that age and intra-operative extra-thyroid extension were independent risk factors for RLN paralysis. Nimodipine and steroids might influence the time to recovery, but not the recovery rate. Larger studies are needed to explore the impact of nimodipine on the outcome of RLN paralysis.

Summary: Hamartoma is a rare tumor-like mass in the head and neck area, particularly in the larynx. It is often characterized by stridor, dysphonia, and symptoms of airway obstruction. Histological confirmation is necessary for diagnosis, and complete excision is the preferred treatment method.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of performing recurrent laryngeal motor nerve conduction studies (rlMNCS) in a rat model. The results showed that rlMNCS are feasible in understanding laryngeal neurophysiology and could provide a potential animal model for studying neuromuscular conditions affecting voice, breathing, and swallowing.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of laryngeal nerve conduction studies using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and found that this method is safe and feasible. The laryngeal nerve conduction latency patterns differed between subjects with VFPa and VFP, with VFP subjects showing more variability in electrophysiological manifestations, largely dependent on compensatory reinnervation.

Summary: Continuous RLN monitoring using LAR significantly reduced rates of postoperative transient VF paralysis and paresis compared to intermittent IONM. Surgeons should consider the benefits of continuous intraoperative monitoring for preventing nerve injury and improving patient outcomes.

Summary: The study found that factors such as maximum gland diameter, weight, and nodular hyperplasia are significantly associated with adherence of an enlarged parathyroid gland to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Intraoperative neural monitoring showed a sensitivity of 97.8%, specificity of 43.5%, and accuracy of 94.7% for detecting nerve damage. Patients with parathyroid gland adherence to the nerve had a higher rate of vocal cord paralysis compared to those without nerve adhesion.

Summary: CT provides more detailed information than digital radiography (DR) in identifying bone pathologies and fracture configuration in horses with third carpal bone (C3) fractures. It is valuable for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
