Management of laryngotracheal stenosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a rare conditio, but with a still growing number of cases, mostly due to tracheotomy, intubation, irradiation and larynx surgical and iatrogenic sequels. The treatment of LTS is difficult and saddled with several complications, basically with different techniques proposed. The present work is a review of literature devoted treatment LTS in adults.

Pathophysiology and prophylaxis of the laryngo-tracheal stenosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Tracheal stenosis is frequent complication of the general endotracheal anaesthesia and prolonged tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation of the critically ill. Incidence of the iatrogenic tracheal stenosis surmounts 9%. Authors discuss probable mechanisms of the pathologic alterations of trachea, leading to stenosis of airways due to pathological changes.

Subglottis stenosis in Wegener’s granulomatosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is a multisystem autoimmune vasculitis of small to medium sized blood vessels. Etiology is unknown. Nectrotising granulomatous vasculitis with destruction of the walls and narrowing of the vessel lumen leads to disturbanses of appropriate organs function. Clasical WG includes symptoms of upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys, but WG can affect any organ. In about 16-20% of patients subglottic stenosis (SGS) due to granulomatous inflammation and scarring occurs. Symptoms of SGS (dyspnea, voice change and cough) without other symptoms make difficulties with diagnosis. Laryngoscopy ...

BAHAŽ system in hearing impairment fittingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The BAHA® system (BAHA – Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) is a well established treatment option for patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss, based on the bone conduction phenomenon. The key solution of the system is a titanium implant placed in the temporal bone, to let the vibrations from the sound processor pass into the inner ear. Clinical studies confirmed the efficacy of BAHA® in hearing rehabilitation, presenting significant improvement in sound detection and speech perception in background noise, subsequently increasing quality of life. The present work discusses indications, surgical technique, outc...

Sound transmission by bone conductionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The human ear normally works by trapping sound waves travelling through the air, amplifying them and turning them into signals the brain can understand. But bone conduction sends the waves through the skull bones or jaw instead, bypassing the natural air conduction system. In normal hearing patients, bone conduction is an unnecessary phenomenon and as a component of physiological hearing compared to air conduction is weaker by about 50-60 dB. Bone conduction transmission can be used in individuals with normal or impaired hearing. Bone conduction technology has long been used in hearing aids for the hearing impaired, but al...

Involvement of human papilloma virus in head and neck cancerEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) has been recognized as an aetiological factor for ano-genital cancers. Recent studies provide evidence for its involvement in morbidity for head and neck cancer as well. A carcinogenic potential is associated almost exclusively with its high risk variants HPV-16 and HPV-18. HPV-derived cancers of head and neck can be found in non-smoking, non-drinking individuals but having an intensive sexual life. The prognosis and survival time are better than in case of typical patients. Oral cavity and oropharynx including palatine tonsils are predominantly affected by HPV-derived cancers. Molecular biology...

Fungal infection in laryngology – problem of diagnosis and treatmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In recent years the number of fungal infections has still been growing in laryngological patients. It depends on the excessive application of antibiotics and increasing number of people with disturbed immunity. Rich colonisation of Candida spp. of the oral cavity has a huge influence in laryngology. The present work discusses problems related to diagnostics and difficulties in treatment of fungal infections. (Source: Articles of Advances in Head and Neck Surgery - TERMEDIA publishing house)

Endovascular treatment of vascular diseases and neoplasms of the head and neckEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The purpose of this study is to present the usefulness of endovascular treatment of vascular diseases and neoplasms of the head and neck. Endovascular embolization has wide application in laryngological practice. Embolization procedures are used for curative, preoperative or palliative management. In cases of head and neck tumours, embolization is performed most often in paragangliomas and juvenile nasopharyngeal fibromas. This method allows reduction of intraoperative blood loss, shortens the operative time and facilitates tumour resectability. By causing shrinkage of the tumour in size, it allows the relief of symptoms a...

Molecular biology of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare benign tumour, mostly affecting adolescent males. Its molecular aetiology and pathogenesis are widely unknown. In the last two decades several different genes and proteins have been analyzed by various molecular approaches to identify possible mechanisms contributing to JNA growth. In this review we give a short overview about the published basic JNA research and suggest future directions. (Source: Articles of Advances in Head and Neck Surgery - TERMEDIA publishing house)

Thyroid cancer – principles in diagnosis and treatment according to current Recommendations of Polish Group in the matter of Neuroendocrine TumoursEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Thyroid nodules are detected frequently. The diagnostic strategy has been modified and now includes the widespread use of fine-needle aspiration biopsy, ultrasonography and calcitonin measurement. Most thyroid nodules are benign lesions. Thyroid carcinoma is now diagnosed at an earlier stage. Thyroid carcinoma is rare among human malignancies ( (Source: Articles of Advances in Head and Neck Surgery - TERMEDIA publishing house)

Advances in the pathological diagnosis of lymphomasEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Lymphomas are common malignancies arising in the cervical lymph nodes and in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Diagnosis of lymphoma remains in the domain of histopathology as fine needle aspiration biopsy is of limited value in this respect. Thanks to progress in our understanding of the structure and function of lymphoid tissue the classification of lymphomas is constantly changing. In addition the development of new therapeutic modalities forces pathologists to introduce new diagnostic methods including immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and molecular biology techniques. The application of immunohistochemistry and cytometry ...

Head and neck lymphomas – diagnosis and molecular biology – state of artEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The main focus of this paper is on a description of diagnostic methods used in lymphoma diagnosis. Here a brief description of each method such as routine histopathology based on paraffin-embedded tissue samples with optional immunohistochemical studies was presented. Characteristics of flow cytometry, electron microscopy, as well as cytogenetic studies and statistical analysis were introduced. For each method diagnostic contributions as well as limitations were described. The second part of the paper presents a brief description of the majority of lymphomas based on the new version of WHO classification. Additionally, ind...
