• Effect of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on planned cancer surgery for 15 tumour types in 61 countries: an international, prospective, cohort study

  The Lancet Oncology · 2021 · 286 citations

  BACKGROUND: Surgery is the main modality of cure for solid cancers and was prioritised to continue during COVID-19 outbreaks. This study aimed to identify immediate areas for system strengthening by comparing the delivery of elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in periods of lockdown versus light restriction. METHODS: This international, prospective, cohort study enrolled 20 006 adult (≥18 years) patients from 466 hospitals in 61 countries with 15 cancer types, who had a decision…

  articleSenior authorCorresponding

  OBJECTIVES: To evaluate gender-based differences in narrative letters of recommendation (NLORs) and standardized letters of recommendation (SLORs) submitted for applicants to an otolaryngology head and neck surgery (OHNS) residency program. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review. METHODS: Nine hundred fifty-eight letters of recommendation (LORs) submitted to one OHNS program in 2013 to 2014 were analyzed. RESULTS: NLORs (n = 590) and SLORs (n = 368) were reviewed. Male writers composed over 85% of a…

• Triggering of the cGAS–STING Pathway in Human Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Inhibits TLR9-Mediated IFN Production

  The Journal of Immunology · 2020-05-29 · 66 citations

  articleOpen access

  Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are potent producers of type I and type III IFNs and play a major role in antiviral immunity and autoimmune disorders. The innate sensing of nucleic acids remains the major initiating factor for IFN production by pDCs. TLR-mediated sensing of nucleic acids via endosomal pathways has been studied and documented in detail, whereas the sensing of DNA in cytosolic compartment in human pDCs remains relatively unexplored. We now demonstrate the existence and functio…

• Post-Tonsillectomy Bleeding: A National Perspective

  Annals of Otology Rhinology & Laryngology · 2021 · 56 citations

  OBJECTIVES: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common otolaryngologic procedures. Hemorrhage after tonsillectomy is one of the most feared complications by surgeons and patients alike. The objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors associated with an increase in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage in the pediatric population using a large national database. METHODS: The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) from 2000 to 2012 was queried for patients between the ages of 1 to 17 years with post-tons…

• <scp>e‐Health</scp> self‐management intervention for oral and oropharyngeal cancer survivors: design and single‐arm pilot study of empowered survivor

  Head & Neck · 2020-08-23 · 24 citations

  articleOpen access

  BACKGROUND: Self-management regimens for oral and oropharyngeal cancer survivors can be complex and challenging. Effective self-management skills can foster better outcomes. We report on the development, feasibility, and pilot testing of a web-based self-management tool called "Empowered Survivor" (ES) for survivors of oral and oropharyngeal cancer. METHODS: ES content was developed in two phases, with modules focusing on oral care, swallowing and muscle strength, and long-term follow-up. This s…
