Neck lump clinics: is on-site assessment of fine needle aspirate diagnostic adequacy cost-effective?Journal of Laryngology and Otology - Tập 127 Số 11 - Trang 1122-1126 - 2013
Christopher Burgess, L Dias, Elizabeth Maughan, Ram Moorthy
AbstractObjectives:To establish the diagnostic adequacy of ultrasound-guided
fine needle aspiration cytology samples at the East Berkshire neck lump clinic,
and to perform a cost-benefit analysis related to the hypothetical addition of
an on-site cytology technician (required to review fine needle aspiration
specimen adequacy).Method:The adequacy of all ultrasound-guided fine needle
aspiration pro... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnostic imaging of the nose and paranasal sinusesJournal of Laryngology and Otology - Tập 103 Số 5 - Trang 453-460 - 1989
Glyn Lloyd
AbstractThere are four principal modalities now used by the Radiologist to
investigate the nose and paranasal sinuses. These are: plain X-ray, conventional
tomography, computerised tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR). Plain
X-ray is the initial examination, and is used as a screening procedure before
employing one of the tomographic techniques. Conventional pluridirectional
tomography has... hiện toàn bộ
Smoking cessation in chronic Reinke's oedemaJournal of Laryngology and Otology - Tập 104 Số 8 - Trang 626-628 - 1990
Poul-Erik Højslet, Villy Moesgaard-Nielsen, Mogens Karlsmose
AbstractIn evaluating the long term results of surgical treatment of Reinke's
oedema, there has been found to be a high incidence of recurrence. The
recurrence rate is significantly lower amongst those patients who gave up
smoking after treatment. A group of patients with chronic Reinke's oedema were
followed for six months. Maximum efforts were made to help the patients to stop
smoking. Twenty-ni... hiện toàn bộ

methods:Single-centre, retrospective study of 32 patients with pleomorphic
adenoma recurrence managed between 1988 and 2008.Results:The mean age at
diagnosis of primary pleomorphic adenoma recurrence was 43.4 years. Twenty-eight

Role of limited parotidectomy in management of pleomorphic adenomaJournal of Laryngology and Otology - Tập 121 Số 12 - Trang 1126-1128 - 2007

AbstractThere is continued controversy over the extent of parotidectomy required
for removal of a benign pleomorphic adenoma from the parotid gland. Currently,
consensus exists that the integrity of the facial nerve must be preserved when
the tumour is totally removed.As a result of experience gained in the first half
of the twentieth century, it was recommended that superficial parotidectomy with... hiện toàn bộ

Reduction meatoplasty with a post-auricular island flapJournal of Laryngology and Otology - Tập 121 Số 2 - Trang 158-159 - 2007
Richard J. Harvey, Paul Fagan, Michael A. Baldwin
The importance of an adequate meatoplasty is often emphasised in mastoid
surgery. However, bigger is not always better, as an excessively widened
external meatus can be cosmetically unacceptable, provide little extra benefit
for cleaning, be an obstacle to the good fitting of hearing aids and expose the
mastoid cavity to exaggerated caloric effect.The problems created by an overly
large meatus can... hiện toàn bộ
