PRECANCEROUS LARYNX DISEASES IN CHILDHOOD

The Larynx and Its Diseases

[The problems and question marks in precancerous lesions of the larynx].

BACKGROUND Development of the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is taking place on the base of well-documented precancerous lesions. In histological examination precancerous lesions show dysplasia which may be reversible. The quick and proper diagnosis allows for applying the adequate and successful treatment. AIM Aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of precancerous lesions of the l...

Pathologies of the larynx and trachea in childhood

Pathologies in the larynx and trachea in the pediatric age can be characterized in 4 main groups: airway stenosis, acute infections, benign neoplasia and foreign body aspiration. In this review main diagnostic strategies and therapeutic options are presented. Laryngomalazia is the most frequent condition of supraglottic stenosis. The term supraglottoplasty summarizes all different techniques us...

Autoinflammatory diseases in childhood

Autoinflammatory diseases are defined as recurrent attacks of systemic inflammation that are often unprovoked (or triggered by a minor event) related to a lack of adequate regulation of the innate immune system. Within the past decade, the list of autoinflammatory diseases has included cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, familial Mediterranean fever, mevalonate kinase deficiency, tumor nec...

Gastric precancerous diseases classification using CNN with a concise model

Gastric precancerous diseases (GPD) may deteriorate into early gastric cancer if misdiagnosed, so it is important to help doctors recognize GPD accurately and quickly. In this paper, we realize the classification of 3-class GPD, namely, polyp, erosion, and ulcer using convolutional neural networks (CNN) with a concise model called the Gastric Precancerous Disease Network (GPDNet). GPDNet introd...
