The nasal mucosa constitutes the primary entry site for respiratory viruses, including severe acute syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). While imbalanced innate immune response of end-stage disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been extensively studied, earliest stages SARS-CoV-2 infection at mucosal have remained unexplored. Here, we employed and influenza virus in native multi-cell-type human turbinate lung tissues
There were no surgery-related complications among the patients in current study. Positioner and removable magnets have been associated with postoperative problems, silicone devices only ones found by us to cause foreign body allergic reactions.To evaluate complication rate who implanted cochlear manufactured different companies.This retrospective study included all underwent implantation (138 Nucleus, 105 Med-El 14 Clarion devices) via suprameatal approach our department during 2001-2007...
Airway management following maxillofacial microvascular reconstruction is a fundamental part of the perioperative management. In oral cavity reconstruction, airway potentially compromised by edema, flap edema or bulkiness, hematoma formation, upper sequelae from surgery. Classical teaching advocates elective tracheostomy in patients undergoing free while others keep intubated overnight (delayed extubation). The optimal method for still debated. This study aim was to evaluate morbidity...
Information technology has revolutionized health care. However, the development of dedicated mobile software been lagging, leading to use general applications fill in void. The such several legal, ethical, and regulatory implications. We examined experience practices governing usage a global messenger application (WhatsApp) for purposes national cohort practicing otolaryngologists Israel, known early adaptor information society.Cross-sectional data were collected from otolaryngology...
There are well established admission criteria for patients suffering from community-acquired pneumonia, yet the clinical tool decision to discharge hospitalized patient is lacking. Continuous pressure reduce hospital expenditures can lead a premature of unstable patients. The current study assessed impact instability at on short-term outcomes. Demographic data, background disease, laboratory tests results and PORT score were prospectively. On last day hospitalization 7 physiological...
Abstract Aim: To present children who underwent mastoidectomy for congenital cholesteatoma presented as a subperiosteal abscess. Results: All seven (age range 7–14 years, six boys) with retroauricular swelling, erythema and fluctuation in the mastoid area, one child also had mastoid‐cutaneous fistula. Five otorrhoea, while other two normal‐appearing tympanic membranes. None of history middle ear disease. Four were treated antibiotics recent episode otitis media prior to admission. The main...
To summarize our experience with the 320 children who underwent cochlear implantation by suprameatal approach (SMA).The SMA involves entering middle ear retroauricular tympanotomy. After drilling of cochleostomy and tunnel, electrode is passed through tunnel underneath to chorda tympani lateral incus into cochleostomy.The following implant-related complications required explantation subsequent reimplantation: foreign body reaction (0.6%), allergy implant (0.3%), protrusion positioner (0.3%)....
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To investigate the relation between demographic characteristics and time to admission following unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Study Design: Prospective observational study. Methods: All patients with SSNHL in our departmental database (June 1, 2006–June 31, 2008) were studied. Data on their age, gender, marital status, household density, educational occupation, admission, audiologic findings retrieved from medical records compared. The...
Abstract Background Most retrosternal goiter surgical removal can be performed via a transcervical approach. However, it is often challenging procedure, which might include sternotomy. Methods We describe technique using microdebrider for intracapsular volume reduction that precedes an extracapsular thyroidectomy, thereby avoiding the need sternotomy, with decreased morbidity and risk. The procedure described in detail 2 representative cases summary of our experience 26 cases. Results...
ABSTRACT The nasal-mucosa constitutes the primary entry site for respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2. While imbalanced innate immune response of end-stage COVID-19 has been extensively studied, earliest stages SARS-CoV-2 infection at mucosal have remained unexplored. Here we employed and influenza virus in native multi-cell-type human nasal turbinate lung tissues ex vivo , coupled with genome-wide transcriptional analysis, to investigate viral susceptibility early patterns local-mucosal...
