Bone conduction implants - a rapidly developing field. Sep 8th 2015, 10:35, by Edmiston RC, Aggarwal R, Green KM Bone conduction implants - a rapidly developing field. J Laryngol Otol. 2015 Sep 7;:1-5 Authors: Edmiston RC, Aggarwal R, Green KM Abstract BACKGROUND: Since their introduction in 1977, the technology and surgical techniques surrounding the use and application of bone-anchored hearing devices have developed considerably. OBJECTIVE: This article reviews current developments in the use of bone-anchored hearing devices, looking at the possible options for patients, complications encountered and future possibilities. CONCLUSION: Advances in surgical technique are described, with the move towards the use of linear incisions and no soft tissue reduction. Methods for preventing complications are analysed, with review of different abutments and the introduction of the active bone conduction implant. PMID: 26343886 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sublingual dermoid cysts: case report and review of the literature. Sep 8th 2015, 10:35, by Kyriakidou E, Howe T, Veale B, Atkins S Sublingual dermoid cysts: case report and review of the literature. J Laryngol Otol. 2015 Sep 7;:1-4 Authors: Kyriakidou E, Howe T, Veale B, Atkins S Abstract BACKGROUND: Dermoid cysts in the floor of the mouth are relatively uncommon developmental lesions. They are thought to arise in the midline and along the lines of embryonic fusion of the facial processes containing ectodermal tissue. CASE REPORT: A 17-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of a growing, progressive swelling in the mouth floor. Clinical examination revealed a rather large symmetrical, soft swelling in the mouth floor, displacing the tongue superiorly. The fast growing nature and size of the lesion raised suspicion of potential compromise to the airway. Surgical excision was therefore performed. CONCLUSION: Differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the floor of the mouth is of paramount importance, as the recommended surgical techniques vary depending on the anatomical position of the lesions. The intraoral approach is preferred for those lesions that do not extend beyond the mylohyoid muscle boundaries; this leads to a satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcome.
