ATTACKING HEARING LOSS

Accumulaion o ree radicals, which can becaused by environmenal sress rom inensenoise, aging, and rauma, plays a key rolein hearing loss and cell deah in he innerear. evin D. Brown, MD, PhD, is rying o

When Dr. Brownjoined Weill Cornell, he brough wih himadvanced raining in minimally invasivecochlear implan surgery having rained asa ellow a he Universiy o Miami, whichpioneered he procedure. Te aculy heredeermined ha you could successullyimplan he cochlear device wih a muchsmaller incision 4.5 cm behind he ear

well, says Dr. Brown. Te cochlear implansis in a very igh pocke beween he bone

and he pericranium, which is he layer oconnecive issue over he skull, and holdshe device in place. We hen suure he

Tis echnique carries wihi a small bu veriable risk o inracranialcomplicaions, such as a cerebrospinal fluidleak, subdural hemaoma, and epiduralhemaoma, and has also been associaed wihinsances o receiver-simulaor migraion.Migraion can lead o uncomorable ordysuncional ineracion wih he exernalspeech processor and requires revisionsurgery, says Dr. Brown, who specializes inhe surgical rehabiliaion o hearing loss bycochlear implanaion.

Ta way everyonecould be on board wih all o he issuesha arise wih paiens who need care rommuliple expers. Te group now gahers

When people have cancer, i reallyrequires inpu and inervenion by muliplepraciioners, says Dr. Cohen. Te beshing or he paien is a group o people wihdifferen areas o experise who ogeherdevelop a reamen plan. Te Cuaneous

Creating a Team Approach to Cutaneous Oncology

I was ruly a meeing o minds when a year ago Kae E. McCarn, MD, a acial plasic

Dr. uler agrees. I used o be, a leasor skin cancer, ha we would workindependenly. Some o hese skin cancers,especially complicaed umors wihaggressive behaviors ha cross muliple

boundaries, need a mulidisciplinaryapproach, says Dr. uler. Te group allowsus o provide beter care or hese morecomplicaed cuaneous malignancies.

According o Dr. uler, head and necksurgeons become involved in planning andreamen when he cancer is more invasive,reaching ino deeper srucures where heeye, nose, or skull base is involved, or ihe cancer measasizes o he neck. Wihdeeper melanomas, we will also be called ino do seninel node biopsies o deermine heexen o he cancer, says Dr. uler. Youreally need a eam o care or paiens wihinvasive skin cancers.

Trough he Cuaneous Oncology Group,paiens receive seamless care wihin hesame aciliy on he same day. For example,Dr. Johnson will perorm Mohs surgery oremove a cancerous growh and, dependingon he exen o issue removed, she will reer

A Paradoxical Laryngeal DisorderRooted in a Disorder of Breathing

When Tomas Murry, PhD, speaks, people

lisen. An inernaionally recognizedvoice scienis and speech-language paholo-gis wih more han 40 years o clinical andresearch experise in voice disorders, Dr. Murryhas auhored or coauhored 12 books orspeech pahologiss and oolaryngologiss.

For more han a decade, Dr. Murry has hada paricular ineres in paradoxical vocal oldmoion (PVFM) a laryngeal disorder hadisrups breahing even hough he lungs may

be normal. Paradoxical vocal old moion

disorder is an abnormal closing o he airway

wih he vocal olds when somebody inhales,explains Dr. Murry. When we ake a breahin, our vocal olds are supposed o be wideopen. Bu when paiens who have PVFMake a breah in, heir vocal olds sar o close.Te paradox is ha he vocal olds are closing

when hey should say open.

Dr. Murry, who sees abou 50 people a year,primary ages 12 o 25, wih his unusual condi-ion, noes ha i ofen begins afer an upperrespiraory inecion and can develop ino asignifican qualiy o lie issue, causing shor-ness o breah and difficuly breahing uponexerion, including during speaking. Somepaiens are hypersensiive o cerain odors.Te smell o diesel or cerain oods may bea rigger, prooundly affecing he abiliy opaiens o mainain an open airway.

In young people wih his disorder, he moscommon misdiagnosis is exercise-induced

lungs are normal. Tese kids rarely haveashma or oher pulmonary diseases. Tey havean airway issue a he level o he vocal olds,says Dr. Murry. In he early 70s he Naional

Jewish Hospial in Denver published a paperha repored on paiens who were reracoryo ashma reamen and insead had a voicedisorder. Pulmonologiss reerred o i as vocalcord dysuncion; EN specialiss gave i he

name paradoxical vocal old moion disorder.PVFM is diagnosed wih laryngeal endoscopy.We look a he vocal olds wih a flexibleendoscope, which allows us o acually seehis closing moion, says Dr. Murry. In anaricle published in he December 2011 issueoRespiraory Medicine, Dr. Murry and hiscolleagues repor on a sudy hey underookusing boh endoscopy and spiromery duringperiods o no exercise o deermine he differ-ences beween paiens wih PVFM comparedo a group o normal subjecs one o he firssudies o is kind. Te daa confirmed ha inpaiens wih PVFM, inspiraory spiromeric

values play a role in diagnosis. Addiionally,he majoriy o he PVFM subjecs showed

Clinical Innovation:A New Tool to Test for Allergies

he work o William R. Reisacher, MD,

is nohing o sneeze a. Dr. Reisacheris developing a diagnosic sraegy or non-allergic rhiniis in which individuals appearo have classic allergic sympoms bu whoseskin and blood ess are negaive. Te causeo he sympoms remains unclear, saysDr. Reisacher. Whas been known or many

years is ha he lining o he nose, and someo he oher issues inside he mouh and he

hroa, are able o produce all o he allergyanibodies ha hey need righ in ha area.Many people will have hose anibodies ina local environmen, such as in he nasalcaviy, bu heyre no going o have anyevidence or i in he blood or in he skin.Local anibodies have been ound o play arole no only in non-allergic rhiniis, bu inmany oher condiions, such as nasal polyps,

allergic ungal sinusiis, and chronic rhino-sinusiis. Tese paiens look like hey haveallergies, bu some esimaes sugges ha45 o 50 percen o hose paiens who esnegaive will have allergy anibodies in heirnose, noes Dr. Reisacher. So he abiliy oes or hese anigen-specific anibodies is oprimary imporance no only or esablishinghe correc diagnosis, bu also o open up

oher avenues o reamen.

o dae, esing or local anibodies hasinvolved invasive and difficul procedures.Te hrus o Dr. Reisachers research waso find a less invasive way o esing or localanibodies. I used wha I call a mucosal

brush biopsy, explains Dr. Reisacher. Using

Dr. William R. Reisacher

a cyology brush o collec boh mucus and

surace epihelial cells o he nasal lining,he hen processed hose cells in a sal waersoluion, esing hem or anibodies using

blood serum esing equipmen recalibraedor saline. Ta firs sudy was a landmarkproo o concep ha anigen-specific ani-

bodies inside he nose could be measuredusing he brush biopsy.

Dr. Reisacher hen embarked on addiional

sudies using he mucosal brush biopsy onoral caviy mucosa o see i i migh represena novel, non-invasive esing mehod or people

wih ood allergies, demonsraing ha hebrush biopsy especially when aken rom hevesibule correlaed much beter wih clinicalsympoms hen blood esing.

I would say ha almos everybody who hasallergies has anibodies in he local area,

says Dr. Reisacher. Whas ineresing is hahe paiens who don have anibodies else-

where, and only have anibodies in he localarea, hose people end o be missed. So isimporan o no only do sysemic esing,

bu local esing as well.

Dr. Reisachers invenion o he mucosal brush biopsy represens aless invasive orm o esing ha may appeal o more people who areconcerned abou allergies, bu i also has implicaions in sinonasalresearch and any research where paiens are caegorized based onheir allergic saus.
