Specific Bacterial & Fungal ID with PCR

Dr. Aaron Rogers with typical sinus culture swabs

Wild enough, now “PCR test” or “rtPCR” is almost a household name thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.  PCR testing is a highly specific and sensitive way to test for genetic material from all sorts of living things.  It is used in forensics, microbiology research and most importantly in healthcare. Not only are we testing nasal […]

Mild or Asymptomatic COVID-19? What to do

With serious illness related to Coronavirus running rampant in the country right now, also running rampant are people with mild symptoms or even no symptoms.  Many people are screening positive – maybe testing purely as a result of an exposure or as part of a screening program.  What do you do if you screen positive? […]

Antihistamines and Your Heart Risk

Runny Nose / Vasomotor rhinitis

Every week I see allergic patients who are avoiding antihistamine medications because of a concern about their heart or blood pressure. But Most of this worry is outdated and unneeded. Firstly, let’s discuss the antihistamines themselves: (a) older generation antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl), hydroxyzine (Ararat, Vistaril) or chlorpheneramine (Chlor-Trimeton) are messier chemicals with more side […]

Salivary Tumors – that lump by your jaw!

neck tumor salivary tumors lumps bumps in neck surgery

Nodules or masses of the salivary glands are some of the more common “lumps and bumps” we see.  The major salivary glands include the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands and may produce abnormal salivary tumors.  These glands are responsible for creating saliva to keep the mouth lubricated and help keep the teeth healthy.  The glands […]

Ear Pressure Injury & Scuba Diving

Hemotyympanum

Ear problems are some of the most common medical issues affecting scuba divers, swimmers and freedivers.  Scuba diving is an awesome sport with “professionals and amateurs but no competition”.  However as every diver knows, the issues affecting ear pressure is amongst the toughest challenges for enjoyable and successful scuba diving. When diving under water the […]

When is Sleep Apnea Surgery Right for Me?

Overall, surgery for sleep apnea is usually reserved for either people who have failed a trial of a positive airway pressure device (CPAP or BiPAP or APAP) or who have just a single anatomic factor causing their blockage.  In most large studies and scientific reviews, we find surgery for sleep apnea is successful at reducing […]

Reflux Treatment with Alginates

Acid reflux disease can cause a number of problems in the throat, including constant throat mucous sensation, mild hoarseness, mild swallowing delay, or a sensation of “lump” in the throat.  The throat lining and vocal cords swell in response to acid exposure that might be quite minimal or intermittent.  Many people, especially those with snoring […]

Update on Tonsil Cancer?

The past decade has brought a tsunami of tonsil cancer (and lingual tonsil cancer) to ENT clinics.  The Human Papillomavirus (HPV), long linked to cervical cancer, is now the most common cause of cancer in the throat.  The good news is our experience with this newer subtype of throat cancers has shown the HPV-linked cancers […]

Smell Something? Smell Nothing? Changes in Smell Sense

Smell loss is certainly in the news lately with the Coronavirus Pandemic, but in reality ENT’s see loss of smell (“anosmia“), reduced smell (“hyposmia“), and smelling false smells (“phantosmia“) all the time.  The sense of smell also contributes to the overall flavor of the food we eat.  And we know that when someone “loses their taste” […]
