Pretreatment organ function in patients with advanced head and neck cancer: clinical outcome measures and patients' viewsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The assessment identified several problems already pre-treatment, in this patient population. A thorough assessment of both clinical measures and patients' views appears to be necessary to gain insight in all (perceived) pre-existing functional and quality of life problems.

Evaluation of young smokers and non-smokers with electrogustometry and contact endoscopy.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The objective of this study was the evaluation of taste acuity in smokers and non-smokers and the differences concerning the shape, density and vascularisation of the fungiform papillae (fPap) of their tongue. Methods: Sixty-two male subjects who served in the Greek Military Forces participated in the study and were randomized chosen. Thirty-four of them were non-smokers and 28 were smokers. All of the smokers used to hold the cigarette on the centre of their lips. Taste thresholds of the participants were measured with Electrogustometry (EGM). The morphology and the density of their fungiform papillae (fPap) on the tongue...

Effects of total laryngectomy on olfactory function, health-related quality of life, and communication: a 3-year follow-up studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background: As total laryngectomy results in loss of airflow through the nose, one of the adverse effects for a majority of patients is the reduced or complete loss of olfactory function. However, with the introduction of a new method, the Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver (NAIM), an important technique is available for laryngectomized patients to regain the ability to smell. The purpose of the present study was to assess changes in olfaction, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and communication 3 years after NAIM rehabilitation. Methods: 18 patients (15 men and 3 women; mean age, 71 years) who had undergone laryngectomy ...

Effectiveness of a tinnitus management programme: a 2-year follow-up studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background: Tinnitus impairs the possibility of leading a normal life in 0.5-1% of the population. While neither medical nor surgical treatment appears effective, counselling may offer some relief. An intervention combining counselling and hearing devices is offered to clients referred to the Centre for Help Aids and Communication (CHC) in southern Denmark. The aims of this exploratory study were to examine i) the characteristics of CHC's clients and their tinnitus, ii) the effectiveness of the treatment, and iii) whether particular client groups benefit more than others. Methods: One hundred new clients presenting with ti...

We report the systematic analysis of the ultrastructural and cytological histopathology of vestibular endorgans acquired from labyrinthectomy in Meniere's disease. Methods: 17 subjects with intractable Meniere's disease and ipsilateral non-serviceable hearing presenting to the Neurotology Clinic from 1997 to 2006 who chose ablative labyrinthectomy (average age = 62 years; range 29-83 years) participated. The average duration of symptoms prior to surgery was 7 years (range 1-20 years). Results: Nearly all vestibular endorgans demonstrated varying degrees of degeneration. A monolayer of epithelial cells occurred significantl...

Conclusions: Dysphagia following dental surgery or oral infections does not affect pharynx and submental muscles and has clear sEMG signs: increased duration of a single swallow, longer drinking time, low activity of the masseter, and normal range of submental activity. Patients with tonsillitis present hyperactivity of infrahyoid muscles. These data could be used for evaluation of symptoms when differential dental/ENT diagnosis is needed.

Long-term symptoms in dizzy patients examined in a university clinicEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The majority of patients had persistent and severe problems with dizziness. The wait-and-see attitude before referral to specialist institutions may be questioned. Early, active movements seem necessary, and attention should be paid to the presence of neck pain. Diagnoses had limited prognostic value. Questionnaire-based evaluations could assist in classification and identification of type of dizziness and thereby provide a better basis for specific rehabilitation.

We describe here two new cases of multilineage tumors (a sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma [SNTCS], and a congenital oronasopharyngeal teratoma/epignathus) and compare their features with those of a new case of a rare salivary gland anlage tumor [SGAT], an entity for which the pathogenesis is unclear (i.e. hamartoma versus neoplasm). We correlate their presenting clinico-pathological features and compare histologic and cytogenetic features in an attempt to elucidate their pathogenesis and biologic potentials. Cytogenetic analysis revealed chromosomal abnormalities only in the case of SNTCS that showed trisomy 12 and 1p delet...

Conclusion: Nasal steroid and decongestive sprays are now important causes for septal perforation.

Warning of the simultaneous use of nasal steroid and decongestive sprays should be addressed particularly to females. All patients with symptoms of septal perforation should promptly be referred to otolaryngologists for treatment. (Source: BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders)

Conclusions: EECC is a rare condition with inconsistent and silent symptoms, whereas the extent of destruction may be pronounced.

Background: Nasal colonisation with otitis media (OM) pathogens, particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis, is a precursor to the onset of OM.
