Background: There is a paucity of information about the dental sciences related articles published in an Otorhinolaryngology journal from India. This bibliometric study aimed to audit the dental sciences related articles published in Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (IJOHNS) from 2014 to 2016 over a 3 year period.Materials and Method: Bibliometric analysis of issues of IJOHNS from 2014 to 2016 was performed using web-based search from Pubmed Central. The articles published were analyzed for topic of dental sciences, type of article, type of study, international collaborations, source of funding, number of authors and authorship trends.Results:Out of the total 60 published articles related to dental sciences, original articles (42), clinical reports (14),short communication(3) and review articles(1) contribute the major share. Regarding the relationship with dental sciences, the maximum number of published articles were related to oral and maxillofacial surgery (53) followed by oral pathology and microbiology (44), oral medicine and radiology (37), prosthodontics (17) and community dentistry (3).Among the articles published in IJOHNS, oral cancer (14) followed by diseases of salivary gland (13), oral mucosal lesions (6) and reconstructive surgery (5) form the major attraction of the contributors. The largest numbers of published articles related to dental sciences were received from Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh (5) and Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh (3).Conclusion: This paper may be considered as a baseline study for the bibliometric information regarding dental sciences related articles published in an Otorhinolaryngology journal from India. IJOHNS have published dental sciences related articles based on the merit of the topic irrespective of the speciality of the author.

Surgical Anatomy of the Ocular Adnexa is a beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated anatomical text that provides the ophthalmic surgeon or any surgeon working in the eyelid/orbital region with detailed yet concise, easy to read and understand descriptions of the anatomy in any particular region of the eyelid, orbit or nasolacrimal system. Throughout the text are clinical pearls and vignettes to help the reader appreciate why certain anatomical features are important to understand. Key anatomical concepts are highlighted and easy to visualize with real cadaver photos as well as the artists rendition of the same region. This book: - Develops a thorough understanding of the anatomy in the eyelid, orbit, nasolacriaml and periocular regions. - Fosters an appreciation of how knowledge of the anatomy leads to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of various disease processes involving the eyelid, orbit, nasolacrimal and periocular region. - Conveys the importance of anatomy in the surgical approach to various disease processes in the eyelid, orbit, nasolacrimal and periocular regions. This second edition will be an invaluable guidel to all those working in the eyelid, orbital, and nasolacrimal areas including residents, fellows and staff in ophthalmology, otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, plastic surgery and neurosurgeons working in and around the orbit.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is largely a post-graduate subject. This chapter begins with a section on advanced trauma life support and goes on to include details of the diagnosis and management of facial trauma, orthognathic surgery, as well as head and neck surgery and reconstruction. Only basic aspects of this specialty have been included here as advanced techniques are beyond the scope of this chapter. However, this chapter provides enough information so as to ensure success for final year dental students but it can also be of use to those working in oral and maxillofacial units.

Objective To review new devices and drugs relevant to otolaryngology–head and neck surgery that were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. Data Sources Approval notifications for 2019 were extracted from the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) and general and plastic surgery sections of the FDA’s medical devices and therapeutics listings. Review Methods New therapeutics and medical devices identified from the query were analyzed by members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery’s Medical Devices and Drugs Committee. Technologies were assessed by 2 independent reviewers to ascertain relevance to otolaryngology, prioritized, and classified to subspecialty field with critical review based on extant scientific literature. Conclusions Query of the FDA drug and device database returned 105 ENT devices (50 cleared, 55 with premarket approval, and 0 de novo), 543 general and plastic surgery devices (372 cleared, 170 with premarket approval, and 1 de novo), and 46 new otolaryngology-relevant drug approvals that occurred in 2019. Advances spanned all subspecialty areas with otology predominating, primarily due to hearing-related technologies. While scientific evidence was available for all new devices, there was significant heterogeneity in rigor of supporting scientific data. Implications for Practice Technological and pharmaceutical innovation is an important catalyst for advances in the surgical specialties. Familiarity with new devices and therapeutics in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery ensures that clinicians keep abreast of developments with potential to improve prevailing standards of care.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Surgeons are particularly at risk from blood borne pathogens like hepatitis and HIV during interventions or surgeries. They do take precaution to avoid the needle stick injuries but few pay attention on blood or body fluid splashes into eye. The main aim of the study was to know the risk of blood splashes in glass, gown and mask during ENT –HNS (ear, nose and throat and head and neck surgery).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The prospective study conducted in Department of ENT-HNS of Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital from 1<sup>st</sup> July 2016 to 30<sup>th</sup> September 2016. All the elective cases were included for study. Surgery was performed by the single surgeon. The surgeon wore the glass and mask during the surgery. At the end of the surgery, the glass, mask and gown was inspected by the surgeon for any blood splashes and information was recorded<span lang="EN-IN">. </span><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> There were total 62 patients with male 30 and female 32. Regarding the age, most of the patients lie between 20-50 years. The amount of blood splatter in glass, mask and gown is most common in modified radical mastoidectomy surgery. Likewise, the blood splatter is most common in tonsillectomy in throat surgery and in head and neck surgery, the blood splatter is common in all head and neck surgery.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The blood splashes is high even in various ENT surgeries. So it is important to take precaution by surgeon like protective mask and glass worn during surgeries to protect from various blood-borne infection transmissions<span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p>
