Background: Laryngeal malignancy is the second most common in head neck region worldwide. Incidence of supraglottic carcinoma more this country which interferes with vital functions sufferers like voice, respiration and swallowing by virtue its anatomical location, local infiltration direct extension.
 Objectives: To find out clinicopathological profile laryngeal malignancies patients atte...

INTRODUCTION Horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy (HSL) allows the preservation of a functioning larynx and avoids a permanent tracheostoma. Its use and training have been conditioned by the employment of organ preservation programs and endoscopic laser surgery. OBJECTIVE To show functional and oncological long-term results of HSL. MATERIAL AND METHOD 110 patients treated with HSL with a mi...

OBJECTIVES To study the failures and complications of bilateral supraglottoplasty in children with severe laryngomalacia and to compare children with isolated laryngomalacia (IL) with those who have additional congenital anomalies (ACAs). DESIGN Retrospective medical record review. SETTING Two tertiary referral centers. SUBJECTS A total of 136 consecutive patients, aged 3 days to 60 month...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment of clinically negative cervical lymph nodes in supraglottic carcinoma by a meta-analysis. The search words were "supraglottic carcinoma", "cervical lymph nodes negative/cN0", "radical neck dissection", and "radiotherapy". The databases included the Chinese biomedical literature database, Medline, Cochrane library, EMBASE database, journals...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recently, notable progress has been made in the field of anesthesia drugs and airway management. RECENT FINDINGS Anesthesia in prehospital emergencies and in the emergency department is reviewed and guidelines are discussed. SUMMARY Preoxygenation should be performed with high-flow oxygen delivered through a tight-fitting face mask with a reservoir. Ketamine may be the ind...

Desflurane is the most pungent of the currently used volatile anesthetics. We assessed whether the incidence of perioperative upper respiratory events in children undergoing general anesthesia via a supraglottic airway is higher with desflurane than with sevoflurane as maintenance anesthetic.We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the electronic medical records of consecutive children 1 to 15 ...

BACKGROUND The lung microbiome of healthy individuals frequently harbors oral organisms. Despite evidence that microaspiration is commonly associated with smoking-related lung diseases, the effects of lung microbiome enrichment with upper airway taxa on inflammation has not been studied. We hypothesize that the presence of oral microorganisms in the lung microbiome is associated with enhanced p...

This evidence-based systematic review (EBSR) is part of a series of reviews examining the state of the research regarding behavioral interventions for dysphagia. This EBSR focuses primarily on dysphagia secondary to neurological disorders (e.g., brain injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and dementia). The seven behavioral treatments investigated were three postural interventions (side lying, c...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of level IIB metastasis in patients with clinically negative (N0) necks with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the supraglottic larynx and to assess whether level IIB lymph nodes may be left undissected in such patients. This was a prospective analysis of a case series. METHODS A prospective analysis of 68 patients with SCC of...

PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW During the last two years, several studies have enhanced our knowledge about the influence of pharmacological agents and routine airway management manoeuvres on the airway of paediatric patients. New supraglottic airway devices have been introduced into routine paediatric anaesthesia practice, and the design of paediatric endotracheal tubes has been modified. This review s...
