To assess the efficacy of the various therapies used for the prevention of vestibular migraine (VM). ⋯ Various treatment modalities have been evaluated for preventative treatment of VM. Physician familiarity, patient comorbidities, and the side-effect profiles of various interventions likely influence the selection of intervention. Future randomized controlled trials with restrictive inclusion criteria and generalizable standardized outcome measures will allow for more robust meta-analyses and for more evidence-based treatment of vestibular migraines.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Which Anesthesia Regimen Is Best to Reduce Pulmonary Complications After Head and Neck Surgery?
The differences between intravenous and inhalation anesthesia in clinical postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have been studied in cardiac and lung resection surgery. Clinical evidence for the effects of these two anesthetics on PPCs in other types of surgery is still missing. We aimed to assess the impact of sevoflurane and propofol on the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing surgery for head and neck cancer. ⋯ 2 Laryngoscope, 131:E108-E115, 2021.

Both flexible and rigid bronchoscopy can be used to assess tracheomalacia; however, there is limited evidence comparing the two techniques. The objective of this study was to compare flexible and rigid bronchoscopy for evaluating the location and severity of tracheomalacia in children. ⋯ 4 Laryngoscope, 131:201-204, 2021.
