The current study shows results obtained with collective treatment inmates public jail.A total 123 living restricted contaminated environment were evaluated clinically by experienced dermatologists assessment...
The supraesophageal manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease commonly known as Laryngopharyngeal (LPR) are highly prevalent. diagnosis LPR is challenging and mostly based on suggestive symptoms signs inflammation at the larynx pharynx. In order to decrease subjectivity clinical assessment, a score endolaryngeal videolaryngoscopic findings, Finding Score (RFS), was proposed by Belafasky et al. This has proven be sensitive reproducible in English language.Translate culturally adapt...
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms involved in the muco‐sal alterations of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) have not been well established. Reports indicate a decrease salivary epidermal growth factor (EGF) patients with esophagitis, but there are no reports its behavior LPR. Our objective was to determine concentration EGF adults STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Salivary 26 LPR and 20 healthy controls determined using commercially available ELISA kit. Patients were graded according endoscopic laryngoscopic...
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is the most prevalent digestive disease of modern society and has been associated with abnormalities in larynx pharynx (LPR). Nonetheless, little known about mechanisms involved this atypical form disease. Contradictory clinical data suggest a defense deficit at segment. Saliva its organic inorganic components responsible for homeostasis oral mucosa tract. Salivary pH volume have linked to laryngopharyngeal symptoms GERD LPR. In recent study we...
Phonotrauma is considered the main cause of vocal fold polyps (VFP). However, authors believe that an underlying anatomical deviation could render folds more susceptible to such trauma.To prove this hypothesis a retrospective chart review was carried out correlate surgical findings patients with VFP.The charts thirty-three who underwent surgery for excision VFP were reviewed: 21 had right VFP, 10 left and 2 bilateral lesions.Associated lesions reported in 27 (14 on opposite VF 13 ipsilateral...
