Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) has previously been shown to provide contrast between normal and diseased tissue. Here we present progress towards clinical preclinical FLIM endoscopy of tissue autofluorescence, demonstrating a flexible wide‐field endoscope that utilised low average power blue picosecond laser diode excitation source was able acquire ∼mm‐scale spatial maps autofluorescence lifetimes from fresh ex vivo human larynx biopsies in ∼8 seconds using an ∼0.5 mW at the specimen....

Methods:A detailed histological employing classic immunohistochemistry was performed.33 ACPs, 49 bilateral nasal (BNP) 50 controls were obtained.The cells infiltration evaluated analyzed for with...
Abstract Background and Objectives There is a paucity of data on the prevalence, risk factors, impact olfactory impairment (OI) key health indicators economic outcomes in Asian populations. We aimed to address these gaps population community-dwelling older adults. Research Design Methods included 2 101 participants (mean age ± standard deviation [SD]: 72.9 8.1 years; 55.1% women) from baseline assessment Population Health Eye Disease Profile Elderly Singaporeans (PIONEER) study (2017–2022)....
This is a retrospective study aimed to analyse the outcomes of oral tongue cancer with emphasis on young people.Patients treated radically between 1998 and 2006 were included categorised according treatment modalities (Group A: Surgery, Group B: Surgery adjuvant therapy, C: Definitive radiotherapy) age groups (≤ 40 > years). Overall survival (OS), disease-free (DFS), locoregional relapse-free (LRS) metastasis-free (MFS) estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.There 123 patients 32%, 53% 15% in...
Background The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence cystic lymph nodal metastasis (CLNM) and its prognostic value in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A retrospective review conducted on 257 NPC, analyzing presence CLNM MRI or CT scans. Oncologic outcomes were performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results One hundred eleven (43.2%) had at diagnosis. Overall, a poorer disease-specific survival (DSS; P < .001) overall (OS; compared without CLNM. When...

Paracetamol overdose is the most common drug worldwide. To our knowledge, maximum number of paracetamol tablets ingested reported in literature 45 g.We describe a 21-year-old patient who acutely 120 tablets, each 500 mg (i.e., 60 g equivalent to 1200 mg/kg body weight) suicidal attempt. Our also drank 2 bottles codeine-based cough syrup 360 codeine. At 6 hours post ingestion, her serum level was 207 mg/L. The poor prognostic factors for included massive ingestion (confirmed by blood levels),...
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is prevalent in Singapore, with a significant disease burden. Afflicting up to 13% of the population, AR impairs quality life, leads reduced work productivity and an independent risk factor for asthma. In last 2 decades, local studies have identified patient physician behaviours leading suboptimal control disease. Yet, there overall lack attention address this important health issue. Rhinitis its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) European organisation aimed at implementing...
