To evaluate head and neck cancer (HNC) risk factors symptoms (RFS) awareness, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates, socioeconomic among an underserved population at a community free clinic, to implement adaptable educational intervention address low awareness of HNC RFS. Cross-sectional survey. Community Free Clinic. We surveyed patients participating in screenings including their knowledge RFS, HPV status, patient demographics, other pertinent questions. After the initial survey,...
Objectives Low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic features (LGSSNMF) is a new, rare tumor. Our goal to describe the imaging characteristics surgical outcomes of this unique skull base malignancy. Design Retrospective case series. Setting Academic medical center. Participants There were three patients who met inclusion criteria confirmed LGSSNMF. Main Outcome Measures Imaging histopathological characteristics, treatments, survival recurrence outcomes, complications, morbidity,...
Objectives Skull base invasion from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) via perineural spread affects survival and the rate of regional metastasis. Our objective is to investigate factors associated with elective neck dissection (END) in this population difference END compared observation for patients a cN0 neck. Study Design Case series chart review. Setting Academic. Subjects Methods Patients were treated surgically head cSCC skull 2004 2014. Clinicopathologic data collected analyzed....
Importance Postoperative radiation therapy for close surgical margins in low- to intermediate-grade salivary carcinomas lacks multi-institutional supportive evidence. Objective To evaluate the oncologic outcomes and with positive margins. Design, Setting, Participants The American Head Neck Society Salivary Gland Section conducted a retrospective cohort study from 2010 2019 at 41 centers. Margins were classified as R0 (negative), R1 (microscopically positive), or R2 (macroscopically...
Background: Inflammation has long been a key tenet in the diagnosis and management of malignancies, likely contributing to cancer incidence, staging, progression. Systemic inflammation, particular, is often elevated prior during development. inflammation context monitoring measured by various inflammatory indexes such as systemic response index (SIRI), plasma-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), immune (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR). We set out determine relationship between pre- post-treatment...
<b>Objective</b> Report routes of skull base invasion for head and neck nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) their survival outcomes. <b>Design</b> Retrospective. <b>Participants</b> Ninety patients with NMSC between 2004 2014. <b>Major Outcome Measures</b> Demographic, tumor characteristics, treatments associated different types disease-specific (DSS) overall (OS). <b>Results</b> Perineural (PNI) to the occurred in 69% patients, whereas 38% had direct invasion. Age, histology, orbital invasion,...
This study aims to report our experience on surgical repair of nasal septal perforations (NSP) using bilateral intranasal advancement/rotation flaps with open septoplasty technique.Medical records 28 consecutive patients who were operated for NSP in clinic between January 2009 and February 2013 retrospectively analyzed. Demographic features the results evaluated.The most common cause was previous surgery 18 (64%) patients. Nasal crusting symptom 21 (75%). Perforation size ranged from 10 30...
Abstract Background To assess the effectiveness and outcomes of adjuvant radiotherapy regimens for nonmelanoma skin cancers ( NMSC ) head neck, particularly elderly patients. Methods A retrospective review patients with neck was conducted. Radiotherapy dose per fraction included ≤200, 240–250, 300–400, 500–600 cGy. Demographics, tumor characteristics, local control LC ), regional RC survival were analyzed. Results Of 90 140 disease sites, 76.6% squamous cell carcinoma, 15.5% basal 7.7% other...
Purpose/Objectives: Overall non-melanoma head and neck skin cancer has a good prognosis; however, rarely patients have an aggressive variant which results in orbital invasion via perineural spread or direct extension. Despite these consequences, there are limited published studies defining this clinical entity. The main objectives of the current study to describe patterns cancers their impact on survival.Methods: Retrospective case series from tertiary-care, academic institution performed...
The purpose of this trial is to examine the clinical role iron metabolism on development Otitis media with effusion.This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center. group made up children who had surgery for effusion (OME). Control comprised by pediatric surgeon inguinal hernia repair or circumcision operations normal ear nose throat examination. Each evaluated depending serum parameters.One-hundred-thirteen OME and 117 control patients were included study. Iron deficiency...
Human papillomavirus-associated (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a distinct form of head and neck (HNSCC) with its own American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system. However, pathologic risk stratification for HPV+ OPSCC largely remains based the experience HPV-unassociated HNSCC.To compare survival discrimination traditional both HNSCC derive novel system improved discrimination.In this retrospective cohort study, we used National Database to identify 15 324...
To analyze the effectiveness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in evaluation recurrent cholesteatomas.Twenty-three patients undergoing second-look surgery were included our study. There 14 men and 9 women with ages ranging from 10 to 50. All underwent DW-MRI prior surgery. (MRI) examinations performed a 1.5-T MRI unit using standard 8-channel neurovascular coil. apparent diffusion coefficient maps examination. Cholesteatoma was diagnosed on as marked hyperintense...

Methods. performed retrospectively 80 a tertiary medical center. All were treated and followed for PFNP (Bell’s palsy). patient charts reviewed demographics characteristics. comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), side, grade duration palsy, acoustic stapedius reflex analysed. Results. Forty-three...
Objective:To analyze the indications, complications, and outcomes of pediatric tracheotomies. Material methods:All tracheotomies performed in a tertiary referral center between January 2011 December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.Demographic characteristics patients, types to hospital, tracheotomy preoperative evaluation findings, surgical technique, postoperative care discharge follow-up results analyzed.Results: A total 152 patients underwent at our hospital during this five year...
