Importance: The most frequent presenting symptom for patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a lateral neck mass. Circulating tumor tissue-modified viral (TTMV)-HPV DNA is a unique biomarker produced by the fragmentation of HPV DNA during the degradation of HPV-associated tumors, and its detection and quantitation are currently being used as an adjunct to imaging in monitoring for disease recurrence and may have utility for diagnosis.
Objective: To measure the diagnostic characteristics of TTMV-HPV DNA compared with gold standard tissue biopsy for diagnosing HPV-OPSCC in patients presenting with an indeterminate lateral neck mass.
Design, setting, and participants: This prospective diagnostic test study enrolled patients 18 years or older who presented with a lateral neck mass to a large urban tertiary health care system from December 2021 to June 2023. Participants underwent standard-of-care testing to obtain a tissue diagnosis and a single TTMV-HPV DNA measurement.
Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome of interest was sensitivity, while specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were secondary end points. A subset analysis was performed comparing test performance metrics between TTMV-HPV DNA testing and fine-needle aspiration.
Results: A total of 138 patients were included, of whom 80 (58.0%) were men, with median age of 57.5 years (IQR, 43.3-67.0 years). Of 138 patients, 87 (63.0%) had neck masses in level 2 and 47 (34.1%) had HPV-OPSCC. TTMV-HPV DNA testing exhibited a sensitivity of 95.7% (95% CI, 85.5%-99.5% [45 of 47 patients]), specificity of 97.8% (95% CI, 92.3%-99.7% [89 of 91 patients]), positive predictive value of 95.7% (95% CI, 85.5%-99.5% [45 of 47 patients]), and negative predictive value of 97.8% (95% CI, 92.3%-99.7% [89 of 91 patients]).
Conclusions and relevance: In this diagnostic study of patients presenting with a lateral neck mass, circulating TTMV-HPV DNA demonstrated excellent diagnostic test characteristics for the detection of HPV-OPSCC. Such testing may have particular utility for patients in whom obtaining adequate tissue is problematic, as is often the case with cystic neck masses and unknown primary tumors.

Importance: Internationally, active surveillance has been shown to be beneficial and safe in the management of low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas. However, choosing active surveillance is a difficult treatment decision for patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas.
Objective: To identify and analyze the antecedents and mediating processes of decisional conflicts when patients consider active surveillance as an alternative to surgery.
Design, setting, and participants: In this qualitative study, semistructured interviews were conducted between April 2023 and December 2023 at 3 tertiary hospitals in China. Thirty-one participants who were diagnosed with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas, who had experienced considering active surveillance as an alternative to surgery and who scored above 25 on the decision conflict scale were purposively recruited. Inductive content analysis led to emergent themes. Data analysis was performed from April 2023 to February 2024. Methods used to protect the trustworthiness of the study results included audit trails and member checks.
Main outcomes and measures: Patients' experience of decisional conflicts and the antecedents and mediating processes relating to these decisional conflicts.
Results: Among 31 participants (median [range] age, 39.2 [22-63] years; 22 [71%] were female and 9 [29%] were male), 3 themes were classified: (1) decisional conflicts in decision preparation, (2) decisional conflicts in decision-making, and (3) decisional conflicts in decision implementation. The patient's experiences of decisional conflicts were diverse and occurred throughout the entire decision-making process. The antecedents of the decisional conflicts included personal influencing factors, system-level influencing factors, and the relational-situational context. Patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas interacted with these antecedents in the process of decision-making and eventually failed to mediate, leading to decisional conflicts.
Conclusions and relevance: This qualitative study found that patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas experienced clinically significant decisional conflicts and experienced considerable challenges and psychological problems in decision-making. The antecedents of decisional conflicts and accompanying mediating processes can provide guidance for individuals, health care professionals, and health care systems to provide decision support for patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas.

ImportanceCochlear implants are an effective technique for enhancing speech perception abilities in quiet environments for people with severe to profound deafness. Nevertheless, complex sound signals perception, such as music perception, remains challenging for cochlear implant users.ObjectiveTo assess the benefit of a tonotopic map on music perception in new cochlear implant users.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA prospective, randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover study including 26 new cochlear implant users was performed over a 6-month period (June 2021 to November 2021). An anatomical tonotopic map was created using postoperative flat-panel computed tomography and a reconstruction software based on Greenwood function. New cochlear implant users older than 18 years with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss or complete hearing loss for less than 5 years were selected in the University Hospital Centre of Rennes in France. The trial was conducted from June to November 2021 (inclusion) and to February 2022 (end of the assessment procedure at 12 weeks postactivation), and the analysis itself was completed in December 2022.InterventionEach participant was randomized to receive a conventional map followed by a tonotopic map or vice versa.Main Outcomes and MeasuresParticipants performed pitch-scaling tasks (multidimensional qualitative assessment, melodic contour identification, melodic recognition test) after 6 weeks of each setting.ResultsThirteen participants were randomized to each sequence. Two of the 26 participants recruited (1 in each sequence) had to be excluded due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The multidimensional qualitative assessment (Gabrielsson test), melodic contour identification, and melodic recognition scores were significantly higher with the tonotopic setting than the conventional one (mean effect [ME], 7.8; 95% CI, 5.0-10.5; ME, 12.1%; 95% CI, 5.7%-18.4%; ME, 14.4%, 95% CI, 8.5%-20.2%; and ME, 2.1, 95% CI, 1.7-2.5, respectively). Among the different dimensions evaluated by the Gabrielsson test, the mean scores for clarity, spaciousness, fullness, nearness, and total impression were significantly higher with tonotopic fitting. Ninety-two percent of the participants kept the tonotopy-based map after the study period.ConclusionsIn this randomized clinical trial of patients with new cochlear implants, a tonotopic-based fitting was associated with better results in perception of complex sound signals such as music listening experience.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04922619

ImportanceChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has been associated with anxiety and depression, but the association of socioeconomic factors and temporality has yet to be fully explored.ObjectiveTo determine the bidirectional risk of anxiety and depression for patients with CRS.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort study of the National Institutes of Health All of Us database from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2018, included 2 cohorts of adult patients with and without CRS. The data were analyzed from July 1, 2023, through April 1, 2024. Patients were classified as having CRS if they had at least 2 diagnoses during the study period. Those with a diagnosis of CRS before the study period were excluded. Patients were propensity score matched (1:5) with patients without CRS for age, sex, race, and annual household income.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the development of anxiety and depression. Patients with CRS were counted as having the primary outcome if it occurred after the criteria for CRS diagnosis were fulfilled. Multivariate logistic regression and survival analysis were performed to determine the odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) of anxiety and depression. A secondary survival analysis determined the risk of developing CRS between patients with anxiety and depression and controls.ResultsAmong 33 732 patients (23 382 [69.3%] female individuals; 510 [1.5%] Asian, 6002 [17.9%] Black or African American, 576 [1.7%] multiracial, and 26 036 [77.2%] White individuals), there were 28 110 controls and 5622 patients with CRS. Along with higher odds of having anxiety (OR, 4.39; 95% CI, 3.95-4.87) and depression (OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.86-2.24), patients with CRS were at an increased risk of developing anxiety (HR, 2.79; 95% CI, 2.47-3.15) and depression (HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.27-1.55) compared with controls. Additionally, patients with anxiety (HR, 2.37; 95% CI, 2.18-2.57) and depression (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.46-1.72) were at an increased risk of developing chronic rhinosinusitis compared with controls.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this population-based cohort study of adults with and without CRS, a bidirectional association between common psychiatric disorders and CRS was observed. Physicians and health care clinicians who treat patients with anxiety, depression, and CRS should be vigilant regarding these risks and screen patients appropriately.

<p><strong>Importance: </strong>Accurate preoperative localization is critical to success in targeted parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To determine if the association between the long axis of a parathyroid adenoma (PTA) candidate and strap musculature on sagittal ultrasonography (US) can be used to predict the embryologic origin of the gland.</p><p><strong>Design, setting, and participants: </strong>This diagnostic study was performed using the Stanford Research Repository. Patients 18 years or older with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy between January 2009 and October 2021 were considered. Additional inclusion criteria were having clear sagittal view of the adenoma candidate on US, confirmation of the gland of origin intraoperatively, and confirmation of hypercellular parathyroid on final pathology. Data were analyzed from October 2021 to June 2022.</p><p><strong>Exposures: </strong>B-mode US and surgical parathyroidectomy.</p><p><strong>Main outcomes and measures: </strong>The index test was using US to measure the angle between the long axis of an adenoma candidate and the strap musculature in the sagittal plane. This angle was used to test whether inferior and superior PTAs could be accurately assigned. The hypothesis was formulated prior to data collection.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 426 patients (mean [range] age, 61.1 [20-96] years; 316 [74.2%] female) with 442 adenomas met inclusion criteria. Of the 442 adenomas, 314 (71.0%) had measurable angles, of which 204 (46.2%) were assigned a superior origin, 238 (53.8%) were assigned an inferior origin, and 128 (29%) were indeterminate. Of the surgically identified superior PTAs, 144 (70.6%) had a definable angle, and of the surgically identified inferior PTAs, 170 (71.4%) had a definable angle. The receiver operating characteristic analysis found 94° as the optimized angle for differentiating true negatives from true positives, with an overall sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 72%. This supported using 90° as a break point for US review. True positives were considered superior adenomas with an angle greater than 90°; true negatives were inferior adenomas with an angle less than 90°. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of angulation analysis for determining PTA origin were 72.2% (95% CI, 64.9%-79.5%), 73.5% (95% CI, 66.9%-80.1%), 69.8% (95% CI, 62.5%-77.1%), 75.8% (95% CI, 69.3%-82.3%), and 72.9%, respectively. A subgroup analysis of 426 adenomas using the posterior carotid artery border on transverse US as a surrogate for predicting gland origin showed the following for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy: 49.5% (95% CI, 42.6%-56.4%), 82.3% (95% CI, 77.3%-87.3%), 71.4% (95% CI, 63.9%-78.9%), 64.6% (95% CI, 59.1%-70.1%), and 66.9%, respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusions and relevance:
