Abstract Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is the most dramatic form of progressive heterotopic ossification soft tissues. Hearing impairment in FOP patient a common feature, reported by about 50% affected patients. However, wide case series considering audiologic features are lacking. We report history group patients order to define hearing loss characteristics, genotype association, and possible rehabilitative options. audiometric 16 referred our Institute from 2014 onwards...
Background Laryngeal verrucous squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a highly differentiated (SCC), the diagnosis of which can meet with many pitfalls: benign hyperplastic lesions and conventional SCC are most important differential diagnoses. The microRNA miR-19a overexpressed in solid tumours regulates suppressor cytokine signalling-1 (SOCS-1) expression. Aims main endpoints were to assess SOCS-1 expression glottic VSCC, former's potential role differentiating between lesions. Methods MiR-19a...
To compare the relationship between variable "complication" and other variables of middle ear cholesteatoma classifications (STAMCO, ChOLE, SAMEO-ATO).Retrospective study 110 patients that underwent 132 surgeries 1 January 2012 31 December 2019 for chronic otitis with classified according to STAMCO, SAMEO-ATO in a tertiary health care centre.Older age, male gender, STAMCO-T, [O1, T, O2, (s -)] mastoid involvement (STAMCO-M ChOLE-Ch) were associated an increased risk complication report.In...
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant impact on healthcare systems worldwide. rate of infected workers is > 10% in Italy. Within this dramatic scenario, the development new personal protective equipment (PPE) devices mandatory. This study focuses validation modified full-face snorkel masks (MFFSM) as safe and against SARS-CoV-2 infection during diagnostic therapeutic procedures upper aerodigestive tract.Five different MFFSM were tested otolaryngological surgery anaesthesia procedures....
Background: A worldwide personal protection equipment (PPE) shortage has emerged during COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to the high incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among health care providers. To address this lack PEE, new solutions have been researched. Among those, full-face snorkeling masks demonstrated be an interesting option. surgical specialties otolaryngologists and thoracic surgeons are at risk infection, due close contact with airway secretions. Objectives: We tested comfort...
Objective The aim of this study is to report on experience acquired during the laryngeal electrophysiological assessment with Co‐MEP and L‐EMG in pediatric patients acquired, congenital, syndromic vocal fold paralysis (VFP), correlate our findings patients' characteristics, their comorbidities, VFP etiology. Methods Pediatric suspected or previously diagnosed unilateral bilateral underwent records under general anesthesia; corticobulbar motor‐evoked potentials (Co‐MEPs) electromyography...
