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
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
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
Characterization of Smoking‐Induced Nasopharyngeal Lymphoid HyperplasiaLaryngoscope - Tập 107 Số 12 - Trang 1635-1642 - 1997
Yehuda Finkelstein, Zvi Malik, J. Kopolovic, J Bernheim, M Djaldetti, Dov Ophir
AbstractThe frequency of smoking‐induced nasopharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia in heavy smokers and its potential clinical implications are still unknown. Precise criteria to differentiate this entity from other types of nasopharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia are needed. A prospective clinicopathological study of smoking‐induced nasopharyngeal lymphoid hyperp...... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of glomus jugulare tumors with gamma knife radiosurgeryLaryngoscope - Tập 120 Số 9 - Trang 1856-1862 - 2010
Philip G. Chen, James H. Nguyen, Spencer C. Payne, Jason P. Sheehan, George T. Hashisaki
AbstractObjective:Surgical resection, preoperative embolization, radiation therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery have been used to treat glomus jugulare tumors (GJT). However, the optimal treatment of these tumors remains unclear. The authors report their data on treatment of GJTs with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS).... hiện toàn bộ
Bone resorption in cholesteatoma: Epithelial‐mesenchymal cell interaction and collagenase productionLaryngoscope - Tập 97 Số 7 - Trang 854-859 - 1987
Hiroshi Moriyama, Yoshio Honda, Cheng Chun Huang, Maxwell Abramson
AbstractClinical evidence has shown that chronic otitis media with cholestentoma causes greater bone resorption than otitis media without cholesteatoma. What is the role of the epithelium and its products on the morbidity of cholesteatoma? We have studied the mechanism of collagenase production in cultures of rat epidermal cells and skin fibroblast‐like cells under...... hiện toàn bộ
