Gender disparities in scholarly productivity within academic otolaryngology departments.
To examine whether there are gender disparities in scholarly productivity within academic otolaryngology departments, as measured by academic rank and the h-index, a published, objective measure of research contributions that quantifies the number and significance of papers published by a given author. ⋯ The h-index measures research significance in an objective manner and indicates that although men have higher overall research productivity in academic otolaryngology, women demonstrate a different productivity curve. Women produce less research output earlier in their careers than men do, but at senior levels, they equal or exceed the research productivity of men.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparing the reverse Trendelenburg and horizontal position for endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
To determine whether the 15-degree reverse Trendelenburg position (RTP) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery improves endoscopic field of view and reduces intraoperative blood loss when compared with the horizontal position (HP). ⋯ The 15-degree RTP improves the endoscopic field of view and reduces blood loss during FESS. We would therefore recommend its use.
