Bulletin 2022-23Department of Otolaryngology (07/23/22)Institute for the Deaf (CID), where doctors and teachers workedtogether to help deaf people. When CID's school buildingopened two years later, its auditory/oral methods for instructingdeaf children were groundbreaking.Department ofOtolaryngologyWashington University and CID first joined forces in 1931, whenCID's established teacher training program became the first deafeducation undergraduate program to affiliate with a university.Graduate programs in deaf education, audiology, and speechand hearing sciences soon followed.The Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery (http://oto.wustl.edu/) at Washington University in St. Louis has arich, 130-year history of leadership in our field that is built onthe foundations of academic medicine: patient care, research,training and service. Our past leaders include luminaries inthe field of otolaryngology, such as John Blasdel Shapleigh,MD; Greenfield Sluder, MD; Lee Wallace Dean, MD; TheodoreWalsh, MD; Joseph Ogura, MD; John Fredrickson, MD; RichardA. Chole, MD, PhD; and, presently, Craig A. Buchman, MD,FACS. Even from our earliest days — prior to the inception ofthe McMillan Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital (circa 1943) —excellence has been an integral part of the department's fabric.A look at former faculty and program graduates reveals many ofthe true innovators in our field. While we remain humbled by ourbeginnings and past achievements, we choose not to rest on ourlaurels. Rather, we aspire to further our commitment to improvingpatients' lives by leading our field and its clinical application.Beginning in the 1930s, CID's research efforts involved thestudy of the anatomy and science of hearing. During WorldWar II, CID's research on hearing loss in military personnel laidthe foundation for the field of audiology. CID also pioneeredhearing testing and hearing aids, and it opened the country'sfirst hearing aid clinic in 1941. In September 2003, a newaffiliation transferred CID's graduate degree programs, researchprograms and adult audiology clinic — along with its building —to Washington University School of Medicine. The CID schoolcontinues to operate on the School of Medicine campus as CID— Central Institute for the Deaf.Today, these programs continue to work together to fulfill ashared mission to serve people with hearing loss.Today, more than ever, we are driven to provide highest-quality,cutting-edge patient care that is both safe and effective. OurWashington University physicians and team, together with ourHonor Roll Award–winning hospital, Barnes-Jewish Hospital(U.S. News, 2020-21), are second to none when it comes totackling the full spectrum of conditions involving the ear, nose,throat, head and neck. Our basic, translational and clinicalresearch programs are remarkable, providing answers to avariety of relevant questions that build on our foundations ofknowledge, lay the groundwork for future clinical trials, andprovide state-of-the-art patient solutions. Our educationalprograms for medical and graduate students, physicians intraining, and established practitioners are committed to creatinga culture of lifelong learning that firmly establishes our nextgeneration of leaders in the field. Our residency program ishighly rated by all metrics, providing balanced training acrossthe clinical subspecialties and unique opportunities for growthand development as clinician-scientists (T32 training grant) andeducators. We are most proud that these activities are ongoingin a work culture that values collegiality, inclusiveness, diversityand mutual respect.

The techniques and methodologies ofclinical epidemiology and health services research are appliedto investigate clinical problems in children. Projects currentlyunderway include the evaluation of the quality of life of youngchildren with hearing loss, the evaluation of hearing loss on theperception of fatigue in children, and the evaluation of fatigueexperienced in children with hearing loss compared with thosewho have sleep apnea. Potential studies include evaluatingchanges in the quality of life of children who begin using hearingamplification devices. Other projects of the student's choosingthat would utilize these research techniques may also bepursued.ZJose Pedro Zevallos, M.P.H., M.D.Professor of Otolaryngology (primary appointment)Division Chief - Division of Head and Neck Surgical OncologyDr Joseph B Kimbrough Chair for Maxillofacial Surgery andProsthodontics in the Washington University Department ofOtolaryngologyBachelor of Science, Middlebury College, 2000Doctor of Medicine, Rutgers University, 2005Master of Public Health, University of Texas Medical SchoolHouston, 2014Kevin K.

We study the interaction of genes andenvironment that increase cochlear injury due to noise andototoxic exposure, with an emphasis on how these may yieldapparent presbycusis. Because cochlear function and injuryis the same in mice and humans and governed by the samegenes, we use mostly mouse models. Methods employedinclude standard auditory brainstem response assessmentand intracochlear recording, quantitative light microscopy,immunocytochemistry, and Western blots. We and ourcollaborators have identified specific genes and inbred strainsof mice that mimic the three major forms of human presbycusis(sensory, neural and strial). Sensory presbycusis appears to bepromoted by alleles and mutations that impair protective factors(e.g., antioxidant enzymes) or that impair ion homeostasis.These may enhance cochlear injury from noise and ototoxins.Neural presbycusis can be modeled in part by mutations thatimpair inner hair cell/afferent synaptic function. Although it is notyet clear what types of genes and mutations can lead to strialpresbycusis, we have discovered multiple mouse strains thatshow age-related endocochlear potential reduction along withdistinctive strial pathology that includes fewer marginal cells aswell as fewer and larger strial capillaries.Research ElectivesOtolaryngology Research ElectivesDuring the fourth year, opportunities exist for many varieties ofadvanced clinical or research experiences.The type of research will depend upon the current phase of theresearch program in each laboratory. Students should contactthe director of each laboratory to negotiate.Tatyana Yakusheva, PhDEast McDonnell Science Building4566 Scott AvenuePhone: 314-362-1013This lab studies the role of the vestibulocerebellum and its targetnuclei for eye movement control and spatial orientation. Weuse a range of methodologies, including single and multiunitrecordings, electrical brain stimulation, computational methods,pharmacology and behavioral studies. Our main lines ofresearch are as follows: (1) signal transformations carried outby the the vestibulocerebellum during visual and vestibularstimulation; (2) neuronal computations performed by the anteriorand posterior cerebellar vermis for spatial navigation in mice;and (3) the role of the cerebellum-brainstem loop in motorlearning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex.We have also published quantitative trait loci that impactthe qualitative character of cochlear noise injury. Importantimplications of our findings are (1) that there exists no single"mammalian" archetype of cochlear noise injury and (2) thatnoise injury to the organ of Corti in young adult animals dependsin part on the status of the cochlear lateral wall. The latterrelation appears to be genetically linked and appears not toapply to older adults.Students will be instructed in one or several techniques and areexpected to contribute significantly to the development of specificlab projects.Judith E.C.

Research participation is possible with priorarrangements.The Clinical Outcomes Research Office performs clinicalepidemiology and health services research. Clinicalepidemiology is the study of diagnosis, prognosis and theevaluation of treatment. Health service research is the studyof the delivery of health care. The scientific methodology ofclinical epidemiology is based on the architecture of clinicalresearch, biostatistics and data processing. Current projectsinclude studying the impact of comorbidities on the treatmentand outcomes of patients with cancer. We also conduct researchinto the neurobiology, treatment and outcomes of patients withtinnitus. One method that we employ is the use of smartphonetechnology to capture ecological momentary assessments oftinnitus. Additional projects include exploiting neuroplasticityas part of olfactory training for patients with anosmia. With theuse of clinical epidemiology methodology, we can also study avariety of other diseases.M55 Oto 833 Ambulatory Otolaryngology for the PrimaryCare PhysicianThis course offers a four-week exposure to ambulatory careof patients with diseases of the head and neck.
