BACKGROUND The vertebral defect, anal atresia, cardiac defect, tracheoesophageal fistula/esophageal atresia, renal defect, and limb defect association and Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome are rare conditions. We aimed to present two cases with the vertebral defect, anal atresia, cardiac defect, tracheoesophageal fistula/esophageal atresia, renal defect, and limb defect association and Ma...

The severe course of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is associated with multiple life-threatening complications that lead to delayed initiation active rehabilitation and unfavorable long-term treatment outcomes. Tracheoesophageal fistula one these complications. specific feature this event in COVID-19 tissue regeneration which requires a non-standard approach management such patients. ...

abstract background the present randomized clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of a topical lidocaine-prilocaine cream (emla) to relief pain during spinal puncture in pediatric oncology patients. materials and methods sixty patients with malignancy candidate for spinal puncture were selected for this study. the patients were randomly allocated to two groups. group a had topical emla cream and...

This paper describes an investigation into the repair of the prosodic limitations of tracheoesophageal (TE) speech. The proposed repair algorithm modifies TE phone durations based on the predictions of regression trees built from nonpathological data. Acoustic and language modelling refinements for improved TE phone recognition, studies of feature relevance for duration prediction and a robust ...

background: accidental dural puncture during epidural blockade is a rare complication. since postdural puncture headache (pdph) is the most frequent complication, a wisely management method will also reduce the incidence of pdph. methods: five patients who had inadvertent dural puncture during the epidural procedure before hip or knee arthroplasty were included in this study. after dural punctu...

The tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis (TEP) has seen wide success in thousands of patients who lost their ability to speak after a total laryngectomy. The device is small, sterile, and is operated by blocking the stoma to redirect air into the esophagus, allowing discernible speech. However, the physical blocking of the stoma can eventually become inconvenient for frequent speakers and perhaps...
