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 outcomes associated with these therapies
for H... 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.MethodsThe National Cancer Database was
queried for sinonasal invasive SCC, grade 3 (poorly differentiated) from 2004 to
2014. Patient demographics and... 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 with tissue preparation and sampling. Recently,

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 patients with
CRS using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The advantage of FISH in
biofilm ... 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 Corp.,
Carlsbad, CA) staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), both
utilizing the c... 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 teams and for various patient
group... 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 damage, as a
risk factor for the ... 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 activity. This function is
impaired by c... hiện toàn bộ
Premalignant epithelium and microinvasive cancer of the vocal fold: The evolution of phonomicrosurgical managementLaryngoscope - Tập 105 Số S1 - Trang 1-44 - 1995
Steven M. Zeitels
AbstractPhonomicrosurgical treatment of premalignant vocal fold epithelium and
microinvasive cancer combines principles of surgical oncology with advanced
laryngoscopic microsurgical‐techniques. This treatment is guided by mucosal‐wave
theory of voice production and strives not only to cure the disease but also to
achieve optimal vocal function.Surgical techniques developed during the past two
