AAOA-ALA Rhinogenic Laryngitis: The unified airway Jami Lucas (moderator); John H Krouse, MD, PhD; Marvin P Fried, MD; Todd Loehrl, MD; John M DelGaudio, MD; Bradley Marple, MD PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Evidence continues to mount supporting the influence of inflammation of the upper and lower airway upon the condition and function of the larynx. These data appear to support the role of the larynx as an additional component of the unified airway theory. To this end, this panel will review and discuss current data that addresses this emerging issue. Specifically, the role of allergic rhinitis, inflammatory sinonasal disease, gastroesophageal disease (GERD), and autonomic dysfunction will be discussed by panel participants. The various components of these topics as they relate to patient care will be further debated through a format of case presentation by the moderators. This will be a panel presentation, where each panelist will present a didactical view of each component. Once the background is laid out, the moderators will use case studies to underscore the role of each component on the larynx. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 1) Understand the role or impact of inflammation of the upper and lower airway on the larynx. 2) Broaden their understanding of the unified airwaytheory by adding an understanding of the role of the larynx. 3) Understand the role of allergic rhinitis, inflammatory sinonasal disease, gastroesophageal disease (GERD), and autonomic dysfunction on the larynx.
AAO-HNSF Academic Bowl J David Osguthorpe, MD (moderator); Mark K Wax, MD PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Academic Bowl is an annual competition between four of the top performing residency training programs in the United States. The Education Department reviews Home Study Course performance for all programs over the preceding two-year period. The leading four are then invited to send three of their residents to compete in this academic exercise. Questions for the competition are developed by the Education Committees of the Foundation, and residents compete by answering questions in front of an audience. An audience participation system allows all in the room to compare their answers to those of the competing residents. When the session is over, the team with the highest number of correct answers is considered the winner, and a prize of two years’ worth of Home Study Course for each resident in the program is awarded by the AAO-HNS Foundation. Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 1) Identify and describe aspects of general otolaryngology knowledge. 2) Discuss upto-date information in the subspecialties of otolaryngology.
Ask the experts: An endoscopic potpourri David W Kennedy, MD (moderator); James Stankiewicz, MD; James Palmer, MD; Peter H Hwang, MD; Berrylin J Ferguson, MD PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This popular panel provides an open forum for interactive discussion of the management options and the decision rationale involved in difficult sinus and skull base cases and complicated treatment situations. A case presentation format is utilized with case presentations from each of the panelists. Questions regarding differential diagnosis, evaluation, imaging and treatment are posed to the audience in multiple choice format. The responses provided by the audience response system are then discussed and expanded upon by the panelists in an interactive discussion. In general, cases are selected that might be encountered by either a general otolaryngologist or a subspecialty rhinologist, but which have important decision and management dilemmas. Each panelist has been chosen because of their depth of knowledge in the field, and because of the clarity of their presentations. Particular emphasis is placed on the decision making process, and on the frontal sinus disease, revision surgery, fungal sinusitis as well as the management of more common tumors. The rationale behind each recommendation will be carefully elucidated. Discussion from the floor is encouraged. (Audience touch-pad participation will be limited to the number of devices available or on a first-come, first-served basis). EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 1) To improve knowledge of the surgical decision making process in chronic sinus disease. 2) Learn about the role of different imaging modalities and improve quality of interpretation for both CT and MR images. 3) To improve understanding of the management of difficult to treat chronic rhinosinusitis.
BAHA update 2009 Jeffery J Kuhn, MD (moderator); William Slattery, MD; Anders Tjellstrom, MD, PhD; Hilary Brodie, MD, PhD; Alan J Johnson, MD PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The implantable bone-anchored hearing device (BAHA) has undergone several innovations since its introduction over 30 years ago, specifically, in terms of surgical equipment, operative technique, and soft tissue management. Furthermore, the clinical applications for the device have been expanded to include unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss in addition to unilateral and bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss in children and adults. More recently, the FDA approved bilateral fittings for conductive or September 2009
