Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, precision medicine has revolutionized clinical practice and, in particular, otorhinolaryngology.

Every day we are faced with new diagnostic challenges that require a meticulous and often multidisciplinary diagnostic process.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to offer readers and colleagues several new diagnostic tools in the otorhinolaryngologic fields and beyond.

For instance, with the perspective of precision medicine and a multidisciplinary approach, this Special Issue aims to describe not only the new challenges in otorhinolaryngological diagnostics but also to provide useful tools in clinical practice to personalize therapeutic strategies with a view to patient customization.

Furthermore, the need for an integrated multidisciplinary approach in the evaluation of pathologies in the rhinological, otological, and laryngological fields cannot be overlooked.

These are the reasons why I proposed this Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine, to collect papers about “The Challenges and Prospects in Diagnostics of Otolaryngology” in all of the fields of otorhinolaryngology as well as in related fields. Studies should describe challenges and prospects in the diagnostics of otorhinolaryngology using basic-science-, clinical-, and population-based approaches.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

A Multidisciplinary Approach for Type 2 Allergic Diseases: What Do Biologics Teach Us?
by Mauro Maniscalco, Aikaterini Detoraki, Giovanni Sarnelli, Maria Nolano, Amato De Paulis, Giuseppe Spadaro and Elena Cantone

Abstract
Patients with atopic/allergic disorders, including atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic rhino-conjunctivitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis with/without nasal polyps (CRSwNP/CRSsNP), bronchial asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), often share a common genetic background, a type Th2 polarized immune response, and several environmental factors [...] Full article

Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) is an extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves’ disease (GD), which can be associated with corneal ulcerations or optic neuropathy in severe forms. Transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression (TEOD) is a surgical procedure performed in order to decrease the intraorbital pressure by removing part of its bony borders in cases with excessive mass in orbit. The aim of this study was to present the results and evaluate the efficacy of TEOD for GO. The retrospective study included 28 orbits (16 patients) who underwent TEOD from 2017 to 2020. Outcome was evaluated based on visual acuity improvement, clinical activity score (CAS) decrease, proptosis, and intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction. A preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) increased from 0.69 ± 0.385 (mean ± standard deviation) to 0.74 ± 0.332 (p = 0.17) postoperatively. CAS decreased in 15 orbits postoperatively. Proptosis decreased from 22.89 ± 1.873 mm to 21.25 ± 2.053 mm (p < 0.05). IOP decreased from a preoperative 16.11 ± 3.93 mmHg to 14.40 ± 3.27 mmHg (p < 0.05) postoperatively. In addition, postoperative relief of exposure keratitis was observed. The analysis of development of iatrogenic diplopia revealed increasing in degree of diplopia. TEOD shows rare complications, but significant improvements in BCVA, CAS, proptosis, and IOP. Full article

Extracapsular dissection (ECD) was introduced for the removal of superficial and small benign parotid tumors. According to a recent proposal, ECD is reserved for tumors that are 3 cm or less, mobile, and close to the parotid borders in cases of pleomorphic adenoma. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ECD for treatment of benign parotid tumors also in cases of tumors that were larger than 3 cm and deeper. All ECD for benign parotid neoplasms conducted between 2007 and 2017 were reviewed. The lesions included were limited to primary parotid tumors and categorized by Quer proposal. Facial nerve monitoring was used in all cases. Facial nerve palsy and local recurrences were assessed. The 88 ECD performed met inclusion criteria. The mean lesion size was 4.26 cm. Of the tumors, 68 were less than 3 cm in diameter and 20 were larger, 64 were superficial, and 24 were deep. The most common lesion types were pleomorphic adenoma (88.6%). There was no significant difference in complication rates between the size of tumor (p = 0.9) and location (p = 0.91). Our results suggest that extracapsular dissection could be considered an option for first-time diagnosed benign parotid tumors, even in cases of large dimensions and deep lobe involvement.
