2011 – 2013 CLINICAL OUTCOMES—VASCULAR MALFORMATIONS

Fredrick Grimmer, MD. Described outcomes and safety of bleomycin sclerotherapy for vascular and lymphatic malformations of the head and neck. Results presented at the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology, spring 2013.

2011 – 2013 CLINICAL OUTCOMES—PEDIATRIC TRAUMA

Jeremy Meier, MD. Determined the clinical contribution of high reso- lution CT scans and predictors of complicated fractures in pediatric temporal bone fractures. Results presented at AAO – HNS Foundation Annual Meeting, Washington. DC.

Research Experience

2012 – 2013 CLINICAL/SURGICAL OUTCOMES—ACOUSTIC NEUROMAS

Clough Shelton, MD. Compared long – term outcomes in acoustic neu- roma management using patient – reported outcome scales. Reviewed charts of ~400 patients, patient follow – up, tabulating data, and statisti- cal analysis. Published in World Neurosurgery.

2014 – present BASIC SCIENCE—NERVE FUNCTION, REPAIR, AND RECOVERY

Randall C. Paniello, MD. Experiment design, performing animal ex- periments and dissections investigating methods of nerve repair after complete transection and sensory function. Developed novel method and instruments for performing laryngoscopy and quantifying supra- glottic sensation in a rat model which will be used to investigate mechanisms leading to superior laryngeal nerve dysfunction. Work has been presented at multiple scientific meetings and resulted in multiple publications in the Laryngoscope.
