Obstructive Adenoid Tissue

Obstructive adenoid tissue: an indication for powered-shaver adenoidectomy.

OBJECTIVES To quantify the incidence of intranasal extension of adenoid tissue and residual adenoidal obstruction of the posterior choanae following traditional curette adenoidectomy to determine the efficiency of adenoid curettage and the usefulness of intraoperative endoscopic examination and powered-shaver adenoidectomy in achieving better postnasal patency. DESIGN Prospective intraoperati...

Adenoid tissue: a comparative bacteriological study

Introduction: Adenoid hypertrophy and its complications such as otitis media and sinusitis are common problems in childhood. Rapid and appropriate detection of interfering microorganisms in chronic nasopharyngitis is very important for better medical and surgical interventions. The aims of this study were to detect major core adenoidal microorganisms and to compare similarity of pernasal and ...

Review Helicobacter pylori in Tonsillar and Adenoid Tissue and Its Possible Role in Oropharyngeal Carcinogenesis (Helicobacter pylori / carcinogenesis / oropharyngeal carcinoma / tonsillar tissue / adenoid tissue)

Helicobacter pylori is a well-known gastric pathogen. It plays a major role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcers, adenocarcinoma and gastric lymphoma. HP infection is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide. Recently, the oral cavity was proposed as an extragastric reservoir of HP infection. HP was detected by culture and PCR in both dental plaque ...

Isolation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from human adenoid tissue.

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells that originally derived from bone marrow. Clinical use of bone marrow-derived MSC is difficult due to morbidity and low MSC abundance and isolation efficiency. Recently, MSCs have been isolated from various adult tissues. Here we report the isolation of adenoid tissue-derived MSCs (A-MSCs) and their characteristics. ...
