A Tribute to Dr. David J. Lim : Remembering His Legacy
This special issue was organized to commemorate the legendary contribution and dedication of the late Professor David J. Lim to the international societies of Otorhinolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery. Beginning with his first article,in 1967 when he was at The Ohio State University, Dr Lim, a passionate researcher and author, generated more than 200 invaluable publications, including his most widely cited article. In his honor, this special issue contains the final work with which Dr Lim was involved at the University of California, Los Angeles.
​
Many of Dr Lim’s former fellows and colleagues have served academically and financially for the publication of this special issue. In particular, 17 scientists in the diverse fields of otorhinolaryngology research generously participated with their recent works. The collection of original articles in this special issue nicely covers up-to-date topics related to a variety of otorhinolaryngologic diseases, such as hearing loss, vertigo, infection, and allergy, involving cellular and molecular biology, psychoacoustics, neuroimaging technology, and translational studies as well as clinical implications.
We hope that this special issue will attract the interest of all otorhinolaryngology researchers and clinicians and that it will be used in providing a scientific basis for the development of novel strategies to treat and prevent otorhinolaryngologic disorders.
Finally, we would like to thank Dr D. Bradley Welling (Harvard University) for reminding us of Dr Lim’s research life and Dr Young-Myoung Chun (Soree Ear Clinic) for organizing financial support.
