Voice and swallowing after partial laryngectomy: Factors influencing outcome

Discuss or comment on this article.
ConclusionHorizontal supraglottic laryngectomy and supracricoid partial laryngectomy give the same swallowing results. The presence of both arytenoids does not influence the final outcome compared to patients in whom only 1 arytenoid is preserved. Postoperative radiotherapy only influences the swallowing function. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2012 (Source: Head and Neck)

Venous malformations of the temporal bone are a common feature in CHARGE syndromeEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions:Temporal bone venous abnormalities are a common feature in CHARGE syndrome. The pattern of venous abnormality suggests that there is a failure of the sigmoid sinus/jugular bulb to fully develop, resulting in persistence of emissary veins. Recognition of these abnormal venous structures during otologic surgery is critical to avoiding potentially catastrophic bleeding. (Source: The Laryngoscope)

Discuss or comment on this article.
AbstractMicrofluidics is an emerging multidisciplinary field that has the potential to provide solutions to many of the current challenges in managing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Treatment strategies for this disease are often complex and associated with significant morbidity and mortality; furthermore, prediction of response to treatment remains inaccurate. Microfluidic technology allows a small sample of tumor to be maintained alive ex vivo within a microenvironment that mimics the in vivo milieu; the response of this tumor biopsy to treatment regimens can subsequently be investigated. Microfluidics is...

Abstract We use analysis of a realistic three-dimensional finite-element model of the tunnel of Corti (ToC) in the middle turn of the
gerbil cochlea tuned to the characteristic frequency (CF) of 4 kHz to show that the anatomical structure of the organ of Corti
(OC) is consistent with the hypothesis that the cochlear amplifier functions as a fluid pump. The experimental evidence for
the fluid pump is that outer hair cell (OHC) contraction and expansion induce oscillatory flow in the ToC. We show that this
oscillatory flow can produce a fluid wave traveling in the ToC and that the outer pillar cells (OPC)...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv1.1 encoded by the Kcna1 gene is expressed in many brainstem nuclei, and electrophysiological studies of Kcna1-null mutant (−/−) single neurons suggest that channels containing this subunit are critical for precise processing of rapid
acoustic perturbations. We tested the hypothesis that brief offsets of a background noise are behaviorally less salient for
Kcna1 −/− mice, measured by changes in noise offset inhibition of acoustic startle reflexes (ASR). In experiment 1, noise offset
was followed by ASR-eliciting sound bursts either after 1–10&nb...

ConclusionDelayed diagnosis of cervical ORN can result in marked disability and pain due to spinal cord compression, as well as serious deformity and instability requiring surgical intervention, and even death. It is important for otolaryngologists who treat head and neck malignancies to be aware of this potential complication so that patients may be diagnosed as early as possible and treated with conservative measures. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ConclusionsThe use of an ultrasonic scalpel was as safe as that of the conventional technique and had the advantage of a shorter operative time and lower postoperative drainage. Costs were not different between groups. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2012 (Source: Head and Neck)

ConclusionPseudoaneurysms are mostly the result of blunt trauma as opposed to true aneurysms which usually occur spontaneously. Surgical resection is a safe treatment modality, but endovascular treatment might be considered in a selected group of patients. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2012 (Source: Head and Neck)

Abstract Allergic rhinitis may significantly affect the patients’ quality of life. The aim of this study was to compare the effects
of nasal steroids alone, to nasal steroids plus Levocetirizine or Montelukast, on quality of life in persistent allergic rhinitis.
This is a prospective, randomized study and included 56 patients with moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis. All
patients had house dust mite allergy on skin prick test and we divided the patients into three groups. 1 month long medical
treatment was; topical Mometasone furoate 200 mcg/day in the first group (n:14), Mometasone f...

Chronic Rhino-Sinusitis and Asthma: Concept of Unified Airway Disease (UAD) and its Impact in OtolaryngologyEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
This article is based on our experience
on (20 cases) chronic rhino-sinusitis and asthma, and observations and results from various literatures. Implement of the
concept of unified airway disease and ability to translate its principles into successful diagnostic and treatment strategies
can enhance the practice of otolaryngology. The end result is the potential for improved patient care. In our study 80% cases
have reduced frequency of symptoms and all (100%) cases having improved night time symptoms thus the use of short-acting beta2
agonist to control the asthma symptoms decreases.

Abstract The aim of this article is to identify the cellular mitotic activity using Ki-67 monoclonal antibody for predicting relapses
of nasal polyposis after surgery. A prospective study was conducted at Kartal Training and Research Hospital Otolaryngology
Department between January 2006 and September 2008. Nasal polyps were obtained from all patients and pathological materials
were analyzed for the Ki-67 staining using immunohistochemistry. Patients were followed after surgery for 12 months for relapse.
There was no statistically significant difference between recurrent and nonrecurrent polyps. Polyp ...

Abstract Though single sitting myringoplasty using temporalis fascia under general anesthesia has been documented in many studies,
but ours is the first center to have started using tragal cartilage harvested from one ear to do bilateral myringoplasty in
one sitting using local anesthesia with excellent results including very good graft uptake rate and audiological improvement
without significant complications.
