Descriptive analysis of recurrences of nasal intestinal‐type adenocarcinomas after radiotherapy

paythelady.61 shared this article with you from Inoreader Descriptive analysis of recurrences of nasal intestinal‐type adenocarcinomas after radiotherapy Via Head & Neck Abstract Background Despite adjuvant radiotherapy, rates of recurrences of endoscopically operated nasal intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (ITAC) have not been improved in successive series. To better understand how to improve local control, we aimed to investigate the site of local recurrences of ITACs. Methods Retrospective study in a reference center in sinonasal malignancies. For all patients with a local recurrence, radiotherapy plans were retrieved and compared to the delineation of local recurrences. Results Of 63 patients, 54 underwent adjuvant radiotherapy of which 14 (25.9%) had a local recurrence. Eleven of them had their onset in an optimally irradiated area. Difficulty to dissect the cribriform plate and/or the lateral lamina was reported for 11 patients with local recurrences in the operative reports (p <0.0001). Conclusions Most of recurrences arose in an optimally irradiated area. A close cooperation between surgeons and radiotherapists is required to define areas at risk and adapt treatment.

From a Slave to a Surgeon: David Kearney McDonogh, the First Black Otolaryngologist

David McDonogh, born into chattel slavery in Louisiana in the early 1800s, accomplished the unfathomable by becoming the first Black otolaryngologist in the United States of America. With tireless determination and profound intellect, Dr McDonogh surmounted immeasurable adversity along his improbable journey to freedom and success as an eye, ear, nose, and throat doctor in New York. His doctorate in medicine was posthumously awarded to his great-great-granddaughter in 2018 by the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. In this History of Otolaryngology piece, we share his extraordinary story. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Anatomical variations in the relationship between the spinal accessory nerve and internal jugular vein: a systematic review and meta-analysis

paythelady.61 shared this article with you from Inoreader Anatomical variations in the relationship between the spinal accessory nerve and internal jugular vein: a systematic review and meta-analysis Via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery The relationship between the spinal accessory nerve and internal jugular vein is important for modified neck dissection surgery. Therefore, the aim of this review was to investigate variations in this relationship. Through a search of the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, and SciELO databases, the review authors collected anatomical data for inclusion in a meta-analysis, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Four relationship patterns were identified and classified: type 1, the nerve lies superficial to the vein; type 2, the nerve lies deep to the vein; type 3, the nerve crosses the branches of the vein; type 4, the nerve splits and its branches pass around the vein.

Fibrin immobilization vestibular extension (FIVE): A case series

paythelady.61 shared this article with you from Inoreader Fibrin immobilization vestibular extension (FIVE): A case series Via Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research Abstract Aims The objective of the present case series is to report on the rationale, surgical technique and outcome of a protocol for peri-implant mucosal phenotype modification therapy, referred to as "fibrin immobilization vestibular extension (FIVE)". Material and Methods The protocol utilized entailed apical positioning and stabilization of peri-implant flap with modular screws. The screws were also used for the immobilization of solid matrix platelet-rich fibrin to fill the gap created between apically positioned flap and the crestal margin of the flap. Results A total of 30 patients (12 male, 18 females) with 93 implants were treated with FIVE protocol for various indications, including for vestibular extension following alveolar ridge augmentation (N = 6), preprosthetic (N = 9), postprosthetic (N = 2), and peri-implantitis (N = 13). The keratinized mucosal width preoperatively was 1.67 mm with 95% confidence interval [CI] (1.46, 1.88). Immediately following FIVE surgery, the vestibule was extended to 9.10 with 95% CI (8.44, 9.76). At 3 months, 4.9 mm (95% CI: 4.5–5.2 mm) of peri-implant keratinized mucosal width was present. The keratinized mucosal width remained relatively stable thereafter and was 4.0 mm (95% CI: 3.5–4.5 mm) at 3 years post-FIVE surgery. When overall group means across all time points were analyzed, maxilla had mean of 6.1 mm (95% CI: 5.8–6.5) versus mandible exhibited mean of 5.1 mm (95% CI: 4.6–5.6 mm). The mean of maxilla was si gnificantly higher than that of the mandible (p < 0.0001) across all time points. Treatment of peri-implantitis with FIVE lead to significant pocket reduction and wide band of keratinized mucosa. Seven of 38 implants in 3 of 13 peri-implantitis patients were removed due to advanced peri-implantitis. Discussion The present case series provides proof-of-principle data for efficacy of FIVE for peri-implant phenotype modification therapy that generated attached keratinized mucosa in a variety of applications. This protocol provides an alternative to procedures involving harvesting of autogenous mucosal graft. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.

Management of Benign Salivary Gland Conditions

Epub 2022 Mar 8. ABSTRACT In this section, we discuss the management of benign salivary gland disease. Pathologies vary from sialolithiasis, salivary duct stenosis, sialadenitis, infectious glandular disease, autoimmune glandular disease, and radioactive iodine-induced disease. We discuss both novel techniques in the diagnosis and management of these diseases, including ultrasound, sialendoscopy, minor salivary gland biopsy, and botulinum toxin injection, which allow for both the alleviation of symptoms and gland preservation.

Migration of a Fish Bone From the Esophagus to the Thyroid Gland

a.sfakia shared this article with you from Inoreader Migration of a Fish Bone From the Esophagus to the Thyroid Gland Via ear nose throat Ear Nose Throat J. 2022 Mar 29:1455613221086032. doi: 10.1177/01455613221086032. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Accidental swallowing of fish bone is one of the most common emergencies in the otolaryngology department. The impacted fish bones are usually found in the palatine tonsil, base of the tongue, valleculae, pyriform sinus, and esophagus, which can be successfully removed after a thorough examination. However, in some cases, the fish bone may penetrate into the neck soft tissue and migrate to extraluminal organs, causing infection, abscess formation, or rupture of vessels. In such cases, prompt recognition and immediate removal of the impacted fish bone are necessary. Herein, we report a rare case of a 60-year-old woman who had accidently swallowed a fish bone 10 days prior to visiting the outpatient department. The fiberoptic scope and head and neck computed tomography scans were obtained from the outpatient department. The fish bone was found to migrate from the upper esophagus to the left thyroid gland. First, a rigid esophageal endoscopy was performed in the operating room, but no obvious fish bone was noted over the esophagus. Finally, the fish bone was removed via exploratory cervicotomy with left-sided total lobectomy of the thyroid. The patient recovered after the operation, and there were no further complications during the 3 years of follow-up. PMID:35348022 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221086032 View on the web Inoreader.

Acromegaly

a.sfakia shared this article with you from Inoreader Acromegaly Via Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America Acromegaly results from excessive secretion of insulinlike growth factor-1 and growth hormone, which most commonly occurs because of pituitary somatotrophinoma. Diagnostic features of acromegaly include elevated insulinlike growth factor-1 and growth hormone; lesion on brain MRI; and clinically dysmorphic features, such as soft tissue swelling, jaw prognathism, and acral overgrowth. Transsphenoidal resection is the primary therapy for individuals with acromegaly, even in the cases where gross total resection is not possible because of parasellar extension and cavernous sinus involvement. For recurrent or persistent disease after resection, systemic medications and stereotactic radiosurgery are used. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
