Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:44:30 +0100 Amount of airflow required for olfactory perception in laryngectomees; A prospective interventional study http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5609716&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2012.02442.x Conclusion:  The number of odours identified by laryngectomised patients increased with the volume of nasal airflow. The number of patients with rehabilitated olfactory function approximated the percentage of normosmic individuals in the non‐laryngectomised population. These findings confirm the hypothesis that sense of smell is rehabilitated once the nasal airflow is re‐established.© 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5609716 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5609716 Health‐related quality of life before and after management in adults referred to otolaryngology http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5552821&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02433.x Conclusion:  We found that patients treated surgically or given a hearing aid reported a significant improvement in their health related quality of life after treatment in otolaryngology departments. In general, patients treated in other ways reported no significant improvement. We argue that future research should look carefully at patient groups where there is unexpectedly little benefit from current treatment methods and consider more effective methods of management.© 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5552821 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5552821 Repair of large holes in stretched earlobes http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544916&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02413.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544916 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544916 RE: Intra‐auricular modification of facelift incision with sternocleidomastoid flap – a cosmetic approach for parotidectomy: how we do it http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544915&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02412.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544915 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544915 Assessing ISCP users’ satisfaction in ENT trainers and trainees http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544914&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02409.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544914 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544914 Anterior nasal packing simulators http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544913&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02404.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544913 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544913 Novel method of securing post‐nasal space packs in special circumstances http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544912&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02407.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544912 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544912 Masking made easy: a picture does speak a thousand words http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544911&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02408.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544911 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544911 Endonasal phototherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinitis/hayfever http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544910&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02398.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544910 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544910 How we do it – Hyaluronidase injection for the rhinoplasty patient http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544909&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02397.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544909 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544909 Treatment for resilient cough owing to laryngopharyngeal reflux with a combination of proton pump inhibitor and Gaviscon® Advance: how we do it http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544908&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02394.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544908 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544908 Use of a post‐operative nasopharyngeal prong airway after adenotonsillectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnoea: how we do it http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544907&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02392.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544907 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544907 Septoplasty with alar battens for the treatment of alar collapse: how we do it http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544906&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02385.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544906 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544906 Steroids for improving recovery following tonsillectomy in children http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5544905&cid=s_25322_16_f&fid=25322&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1749-4486.2011.02416.x (Source: Clinical Otolaryngology) Clinical Otolaryngology journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5544905 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5544905 Comment on van den Aardweg et al., BMJ 2011;

Patients undergoing such an examination would benefit from the application of lidocaine after masking the negative flavour using oral mouthwash.

However, the effect of the dose of dexamethasone on post‐operative pain and whether dexamethasone reduces bleeding require further research.

Further studies are needed to verify our findings with similar cancer cohorts treated by modern radiotherapy techniques or other types of radiotherapy.

This study also showed that in 17.7% of patients there was a negative correlation between subjective and objective evaluations of Nasal Airway Resistance. But in this group the Nasal Airway Resistance side difference was mostly over 20˚.

Conclusion:  It is possible to measure consistently and objectively the H‐B and regional grades of facial palsy using trained ANNs to analyse video pixel data, and this can be performed in a routine clinical environment by a technician. The results from each region of the face are presented as a facogram along with the H‐B grade.

In these cases, computer tomography and/or MRI remain a necessity but additional ultrasound with or without fine needle aspiration cytology can be omitted. In our institution, this would have resulted in a 46% reduction in ultrasound procedures. If T‐stage is upgraded during imaging or panendoscopy, additional staging tests for N‐stage should still be considered.

The DynaClose dynamic skin expansion system results in a cost‐effective method to reduce the need of a split‐thickness skin graft for coverage of a radial forearm free‐flap donor site.

There has also been significant reduction in the mean age at diagnosis and an increase in median survival times for tonsil cancer. Further studies are needed to explain these trends.

There has also been significant reduction in the mean age at diagnosis and an increase in median survival times for tonsil cancer. Further studies are needed to explain these trends.

Socio‐demographic and medical parameters do not allow any conclusions to alcoholism risk. Therefore, an individual exploration of the patients′ drinking behaviour is needed which could prepare the ground to specific treatment.

In these cases CT and/or MRI remain a necessity but additional US(FNAC) can be omitted. In our institution, this would have resulted in a 46% reduction of ultrasound procedures. If T‐stage is upgraded during imaging or panendoscopy, additional staging tests for N‐stage should still be considered.
