- A possible mechanism of the formation of endolymphatic hydrops and its associated inner ear disordersPublication date: Available online 15 October 2019Source: Auris Nasus LarynxAuthor(s): Taizo Takeda, Setsuko Takeda, Akinobu KakigiAbstractThe pathology of Meniere’s disease (MD) is well established to be endolymphatic hydrops. However, the mechanism underlying deafness and vertigo of MD or idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops is still unknown. In order to evaluate the pathogenesis of deafness and vertigo in MD, it seems to be rational to investigate

- Successful Treatment of Adult-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis with CO2 Laser and Photodynamic TherapyRecurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a noninvasive benign epithelial tumor caused by human papillomavirus. Clinically, it featured rapid growth, multifocus, and frequent recurrence. Though a number of therapies have been investigated, the recurrence after treatment is always a challenge. In this report, we describe a 27-year-old male patient with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis who was treated with CO2 laser therapy followed by 5-aminolev

- The infraclavicular pedicled flap in head and neck reconstruction: applications and outcomesAbstract Background An infraclavicular pedicled flap (ICPF) was recently described in the literature. This anatomical region is attractive for the restoration of head and neck oncological defects. This paper is a review of our experience with this versatile flap. Methods A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the records of all the patients operated in a tertiary‐care center between August 2013 and January 2019 whose surgery i
- Dose volume effects of re‐irradiation for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinomaAbstract Background This study analyzed the dose volume effects of re‐irradiation for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and attempts to determine the optimal dose for the best survival. Methods Ninety‐one patients were studied. The local control, fatal complication, and overall survival were analyzed against the dose (in Equivalent Dose at 2 Gy/fractions) and recurrent gross tumor volume (GTV). Results The local con
- Utility of negative‐pressure wound therapy for orocutaneous and pharyngocutaneous fistula following head and neck surgeryAbstract Background Because of the difficulty of airtight sealing and risk of salivary contamination, negative‐pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has rarely been applied for postoperative fistula following head and neck surgery; thus, its utility remains unclear. Methods We applied NPWT in 34 patients who developed orocutaneous and pharyngocutaneous fistula after head and neck surgery. Here we retrospectively analyzed the utility of NPWT for

Methods We retrospectively studied 460 patients who were evaluated for thyroid nodules. Medical records were queried to determine how the nodules were detected. We compared the rates of fine needle aspiration (FNA) and malignancy between nodules detected clinically, incidentally on imaging, or by screening. Results Nodul

- Genome-wide study on uveal melanoma patients finds association to DNA repair gene TDP1Uveal melanoma is a life-threatening disease for which data on germline predisposition are essentially limited to mutations in the BAP1 gene. Many risk factors are shared between uveal melanoma and cutaneous melanoma, and these include fair skin color and light eye color. We carried out a genome-wide association study on 590 uveal melanoma patients and 5199 controls. Using a P-value limit of 10−5 we identified 11 loci with related odds ratios for

Patients with bilateral involvement with a transition interval shorter than 1 month were considered to have synchronous BMD, whereas the
- Characterizing Insertion Pressure Profiles During Cochlear Implantation: Simultaneous Fluoroscopy and Intracochlear Pressure MeasurementsBackground: Combined electrical-acoustical stimulation (EAS) has gained popularity as patients with residual hearing are increasingly undergoing cochlear implantation. Preservation of residual hearing correlates with hearing outcomes, but loss of hearing occurs in a subset of these patients. Several mechanisms have been proposed as causing this hearing loss; we have previously described high amplitude pressure transients, equivalent to high-le
- The Conditional Probability of Vestibular Schwannoma Growth at Different Time Points after Initial Stability on an Observational ProtocolObjective: The natural history of vestibular schwannomas (VS) is well documented in the literature, with tumour growth being paramount to decision making for both surveillance and treatment of these patients. Most previous studies refer to the risk of VS growth over a given period of time; however, this is not useful for counselling patients at different stages of their follow-up, as the risk of tumour growth is likely to be less following eac

- Overdiagnosis of Juvenile Thyroid CancerOverdiagnosis is the detection of a disease that does not do any harm to the patient throughout the lifetime. Thyroid cancer in children is a rare disease; however, since 2011, many children in Fukushima, Japan, have been diagnosed with it, and the number has shown a steady increase to over 200 cases at present. Some experts have stated that this phenomenon is due to overdiagnosis caused by thyroid ultrasound (US)-based thyroid screening detectin
