    Are we prophets only at home ? Do national otorhinolaryngologists cite papers by other Spanish ORL colleagues?
    (2012) Langdon, C.; Vilaseca, I.; Iñiguez Cuadra, Rodrigo Alejandro; Bernal-Sprekelsen, M.
    Introduction: Over the last few years, the Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española (Acta ORL) has been working to improve its impact factor. A high citation rate in the Journals indexed at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) is needed to achieve this, particularly in the ones with a high impact factor. The objective of this study was to analyse the index of citation by other national research groups of the articles by Spanish otorhinolaryngologists published in the Acta ORL Esp. Material and methods: Retrospective descriptive-bibliometric study to analyse the publications and citations of original articles published in the Acta ORL between January 2004 and December 2008. Results: We observed that Spanish otolaryngologists had a low publication index in the Acta ORL, where only 39.1% of the Spanish biomedical production was published. Moreover, the original articles published in the Acta ORL had a low index (32%) of citation by other national authors or groups, displaying a strong self-citation tendency (18.9%). Conclusion: National otorhinolaryngologists or ORL research groups had a low tendency to cite other national (ORL) authors in their publications. In addition, national authors had low biomedical production compared with their European peers. The biomedical production and the articles published in the Acta ORL had a low citation index by ISI indexed journals.

    Evidencia y uso actual de toxina botulínica en patología otorrinolaringológica
    (2015) Caro L, J.; Fuentes L, N.; Iñiguez Cuadra, Rodrigo Alejandro
    A partir de los primeros usos terapéuticos de la toxina botulínica su utilización se ha extendido a variadas ramas de la medicina incluyendo la otorrinolaringología. Se considera un medicamento seguro en manos de profesionales capacitados y su utilización se realiza a través de un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo con efectos adversos leves y transitorios. Se usa en un amplio número de patologías otorrinolaringológicas y de cabeza y cuello. Actualmente la toxina botulínica A representa la primera línea de tratamiento en pacientes con disfonía espasmódica y distonía cervical. Existe evidencia de buen nivel que recomienda su uso para el manejo de sialorrea, temblor laríngeo, trastornos de la ATM, bruxismo y rinitis en casos seleccionados. Presenta buenos resultados en otras patologías como espasmo faringoesofágico, síndrome de Frey y tinnitus, sin embargo, todavía son necesarios más estudios.

    Variantes anatómicas relevantes en tomografía computarizada de cavidades perinasales
    (2010) Cabezón A, R.; Vaidés S, R.; Breinbauer K, H.; Ramírez R, C.; Grau L, C.; Iñiguez Cuadra, Rodrigo Alejandro
    Introduction: Paranasal sinus anatomy is quite variable. Some variations are involved in rinosinusal pathology, others are landmarks ofFESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery). Aim: To determine the frecuency of paranasal anatomic variations in our consulting population. Material and method: Retrospective revision of all paranasal CT scans achieved in our Radiology Service during a two month period during 2009. Results: We found most of ethmoid anatomic variations, with similar frecuencies as described in literature. We also studied anterior ethmoidal artery anatomy, and ethmoid roof configuration, using Keros classification Conclusions: We found, in general, similar frecuencies as described in foreign series. More than half of our patients had Keros I ethmoid roof configuration type, a differing result from most of other series. Every ENT surgeon should be trained in routine search of these variations, helping to avoid possible surgical complications.
