Conclusions  Both staging methods are useful in predicting survival, whereas information gained at neck dissection regarding nodal metastases provides some refinement in prognostic results. These findings demonstrate the need for enhanced methods of tumor assessment and apparent benefit of data gathered at neck dissection for accurate disease assessment and stratification.

Completion of Radiotherapy for Local and Regional Head and Neck Cancer in Medicare [Original Article]email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions  Failure to complete uninterrupted radiotherapy is common among Medicare enrollees with head and neck cancer. Surgery before radiotherapy is associated with an increased likelihood of completing radiotherapy. At a subset of sites, chemotherapy is associated with a decreased likelihood of completing radiotherapy. Further research is needed to identify factors associated with noncompletion of radiotherapy among nonsurgical patients and patients who receive chemotherapy.

A Phase 2 Trial of Surgery With Perioperative INGN 201 (Ad5CMV-p53) Gene Therapy Followed by Chemoradiotherapy for Advanced, Resectable Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity, Oropharynx, Hypopharynx, and Larynx: Report of the Southwest Oncology Group [Original Article]email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions  This trial demonstrated the feasibility of handling and delivering a very complex gene vector safely in multiple cooperative group institutions without significant incident. Intraoperative INGN 201 gene therapy is technically feasible, but it has many logistical problems when performed in a multi-institutional setting. Regulatory requirements might have hindered accrual in this multi-institutional setting. Disease control seems to be promising; however, no definitive conclusion can be made with this small sample size. Trial Registration  clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00017173

Neck Dissection Planning Based on Postchemoradiation Computed Tomography in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer [Original Article]email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions  Filling defects or thrombosis of the IJV is highly predictive of need for removal intraoperatively, which may affect planning especially in bilateral neck dissections in which an effort may be made to preserve at least 1 vein. Presence of a clear tissue plane between the SCM and carotid sheath predicts the ability to preserve this muscle. Changes in the status of the IJV and SCM seen on CT that occur as a result of CRT may make preservation of these structures more feasible, even in patients with advanced neck disease.

Conclusions  Clinically important esophageal lesions rarely coexists with oral cavity SCC, for which the benefit of routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy is questionable.

One-stage reconstruction of the entire upper lip and the columella with a modified bilateral nasolabial flapemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
We describe a modification of the nasolabial flap technique using cheek tissue for the reconstruction of the defect. The modified flap is used for both the full-thickness reconstruction of the subtotal upper-lip defect and the restoration of the function and appearance of the columella. This technique allows excellent cosmetic and functional results to be obtained in a single-stage procedure.

Complementary and alternative medicine use by otolaryngology patients: a paradigm for practitioners in all surgical specialtiesemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
The objective is to study the prevalence and pattern of CAM use among adult and paediatric ENT patients in a UK teaching hospital. A cross-sectional study was done by sending anonymous questionnaire to all outpatient and elective inpatients over a 3-month period. Response rate was 73% (1,789/2,440). Prominent demographics: female, married, over-50 s. Sixty percent had used CAM, 35% in last year. Most common herbs: cod liver oil (n = 481), garlic (n = 255), cranberry (n = 224); non-herbal: massage (n = 287), acupuncture (n = 233), aromatherapy (n = 170). Mo...

Conclusions  Sleep videofluoroscopy showed dynamic upper airway changes in patients with OSA, and the MAD exerted multiple effects on the size and configuration of the airway. Sleep videofluoroscopy demonstrated the mechanism of action of the MAD in patients with OSA. The MAD increased the retropalatal and retrolingual spaces and decreased the length of the soft palate and the angle of mouth opening, resulting in improvement of OSA.

Conclusions  Synchronous nasal surgery does not appear to increase the rate of postoperative hemorrhage in patients who undergo tonsillectomy alone or in those who undergo UPPPT. This information may help persuade physicians to perform synchronous surgical procedures instead of staging surgical procedures. In this regard, the patient requires only 1 anesthetic and 1 postoperative course without the risk of increased postoperative hemorrhage.

Comodulation Masking Release Determined in the Mouse (Mus musculus) using a Flanking-band Paradigmemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Abstract  Comodulation masking release (CMR) has been attributed to auditory processing within one auditory channel (within-channel cues) and/or across several auditory channels (across-channel cues). The present flanking-band (FB) experiment—using a 25-Hz-wide on-frequency noise masker (OFM) centered at the signal frequency of 10 kHz and a single 25-Hz-wide noise FB—was designed to separate the amount of CMR due to within- and across-channel cues and to investigate the role of temporal cues on the size of within-channel CMR. The results demonstrated within-channel CMR in the Naval Medical Research I...

Identification of polymorphisms in the Toll-like receptor gene and the association with allergic rhinitisemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Abstract  The TLRs gene encodes the principal innate immunity receptor in humans. The TLR2 Arg753Gln and Arg677Trp polymorphisms have been associated with a reduced response of monocytes and cell lines to challenge with mycobacteria. The TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms have been associated with a reduction in the inflammatory responses to lipopolysaccharide in humans. It has been suggested that TLR2 and TLR4 polymorphisms may be associated with allergic responses; thus, we hypothesized that TLR2 and TLR4 polymorphisms may modify the relative risk for development of allergic rhinitis. The Taqman assay...

Let me begin by narrating a famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen for those of you who may not know the details. It was an Emperor who hires 2 swindlers to create a new suit of clothes for him. As the Emperor loved clothes they promise him the finest suit from beautiful cloth. They told him that they had invented a new method to weave a cloth so light and fine that it looks invisible to anyone who is too stupid and incompetent to appreciate quality.
