HPV status in unknown primary head and neck cancer: Prognosis and treatment outcomesLaryngoscope - Tập 129 Số 3 - Trang 684-691 - 2019
Shayan Cheraghlou, Sina J. Torabi, Zain Husain, Michael Otremba, Heather Edwards, Saral Mehra, Wendell G. Yarbrough, Barbara Burtness, Benjamin L. Judson
ObjectivesApproximately 3% to 9% of head and neck cancer presents with a metastatic node and no identifiable primary tumor. These cases of head and neck carcinoma of unknown primary (HNCUP) present a therapeutic challenge. Therapy of this disease varies based on factors such as institutional, surgeon, and patient preference. Evidence demonstrating the out...... hiện toàn bộ
Survival Outcomes in Sinonasal Poorly Differentiated Squamous Cell CarcinomaLaryngoscope - Tập 131 Số 4 - 2021
Feras Ackall, Khalil Issa, Ian Barak, Jordan I. Teitelbaum, David W. Jang, Se-hoon Jung, Bradley J. Goldstein, Ricardo L. Carrau, Ralph Abi Hachem
ObjectiveSinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is rare with no consensus on treatment regimen. Our goal is to analyze treatment outcomes in poorly differentiated SCC (PDSCC) using a large national database.Study DesignRetrospective database study.Met...... hiện toàn bộ
Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy Evidence of Biofilms in Patients With Chronic RhinosinusitisLaryngoscope - Tập 117 Số 7 - Trang 1302-1306 - 2007
Alkis J. Psaltis, Kien R. Ha, Achim Beule, Lor Wai Tan, Peter‐John Wormald
AbstractObjectives: The recent detection of bacterial biofilms on the sinus mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has implicated biofilms in the pathogenesis of this condition. Electron microscopy has been the main modality used to document the presence of biofilms on sinus tissue, however, it has inherent problems associated w...... hiện toàn bộ
Bacterial Biofilms on the Sinus Mucosa of Human Subjects With Chronic RhinosinusitisLaryngoscope - Tập 116 Số 7 - Trang 1121-1126 - 2006
Alicia R. Sanderson, Jeff G. Leid, Darrell H. Hunsaker
AbstractIntroduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease poorly controlled by antibiotics. Postulated etiologies of CRS include allergy, fungi, functional factors, and biofilm.Objectives: We presented a preliminary study demonstrating bacterial biofilms' presence on the sinus mucosa of pat...... hiện toàn bộ
Targeted imaging modality selection for bacterial biofilms in chronic rhinosinusitisLaryngoscope - Tập 120 Số 2 - Trang 427-431 - 2010
Andrew Foreman, Deepti Singhal, Alkis J. Psaltis, Peter‐John Wormald
AbstractObjectives/Hypothesis:Biofilms are increasingly recognized as having an etiological role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Research into biofilms in CRS currently relies on microscopic imaging techniques, none of which are universally accepted. This study compares LIVE/DEAD BacLight (Invitrogen Co...... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic Susceptibility to Head and Neck Cancer: Interaction Between Nutrition and Mutagen SensitivityLaryngoscope - Tập 107 Số 6 - Trang 765-781 - 1997
Stimson P. Schantz, Zuo‐Feng Zhang, Margaret S. Spitz, Ming Sun, Tao Hsu
AbstractThe development of head and neck cancer may depend not only on exposure to environmental carcinogens but also on a genetically based susceptibility to carcinogen‐induced damage. This thesis presents a case‐control study that demonstrates the significance of mutagen sensitivity, a measure of an individual's intrinsic DNA repair capacity against free radical ...... hiện toàn bộ
Criteria for Success in Pediatric Functional Endonasal Sinus SurgeryLaryngoscope - Tập 106 Số 7 - Trang 869-873 - 1996
Ramzi T. Younis, Rande H. Lazar
AbstractFunctional endonasal sinus surgery (FESS) is widely used in the treatment of chronic sinusitis in adults and children. Although success rates of 80% to 93% have been reported, no criteria for success or improvement have been suggested. Standardized measures are needed to assess the outcome of FESS and to compare the results obtained by different surgical te...... hiện toàn bộ
Symposium continued. Nasal mucous transport and our ambient airLaryngoscope - Tập 93 Số 1 - Trang 58-62 - 1983
Donald F. Proctor
AbstractThe nose usually serves to conduct air in and out of the lungs; but it also defends the body against airborne noxious materials and modifies the physical condition of inspired air prior to its arrival in the lungs. A major factor in these physiological functions is mucociliary clearance which depends on the secretion of airway secretions and ciliary activit...... hiện toàn bộ
