Facial nerve schwannomas are uncommon neoplasms. Multiple of the facial in parotid region rare. Research regarding pathogenesis multiple is incomplete. Both neoplastic bridging tumor cells and multicentricity have been hypothesized. We present a case intraparotid schwannomas. In this case, histologic features tumors support multicentric hypothesis.
Whether preexisting sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for postoperative pneumonia (POP) patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a propensity score-matched population-based cohort study to compare the of acute and late POP sarcopenic nonsarcopenic OCSCC who underwent curative surgery.We included surgery categorized them into 2 groups depending on whether they had sarcopenia. The in were matched at ratio 2:1.The matching process...
A 74-year-old man came to our hospital with complete left vocal cord paralysis and erythema of the prelaryngeal skin. The patient also had mucosal swelling erosions in arytenoid cartilage, aryepiglottic fold, pyriform sinus. Herpetic vesicles developed over 4 days after admission. An increase varicella-zoster immunoglobulin G level 3,294 IU/mL confirmed virus infection larynx was treated acyclovir without marked effect. Nevertheless, cases unilateral ipsilateral skin, we advise that herpes...
Isolated sphenoid sinus disease (ISSD) is a rare clinical entity with potentially serious complications. The etiological distribution of ISSD varies among different areas and ethnicities. We aimed to investigate the features patients endoscopic treated ISSD. retrospectively reviewed all who had undergone surgery between April 2013 May 2019. patient records were for demographic data, presentations, imaging study findings, surgical outcomes A total 37 underwent recruited. divided into three...
Objective: This study adopted an inner ear test battery to investigate the causes of acute sensorineural hearing loss in patients with hematological disorders. Methods: During past 20 years, authors have experienced 14 disorders, i.e. leukemia or aplastic anemia, having loss. An comprising audiometry and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP), ocular VEMP (oVEMP), caloric tests was performed. Results: Diagnoses comprised sudden 12 endolymphatic hydrops four (two had one while...
The incidence of nasopharyngeal actinomycosis is exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, only 1 case has been reported previously. This article presents 4 cases involving the nasopharynx that imitated carcinoma. Acidic gas exposure and farming aquatic products are possibly involved in pathogenesis actinomycosis. Patients studies completely recovered after weeks oral antibiotic treatment. We recommend including differential diagnosis neoplasms.
Objective—To investigate the acute effects of alcohol consumption on pure-tone thresholds (PTs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in humans. Material Methods—Eight healthy adults were asked to drink clinical intoxication level. PTs DPOAEs determined serially before after ingestion. Results—Alcohol had no effect PTs. DPOAE amplitudes above 5500 Hz dropped 30 min 1 h ingestion, returning pre-test level 2 Conclusion—In humans, may cause a temporary reduction at high...
The authors reported a 56-year-old man with progressive pain over left bottom of oral cavity involving tongue for 3 days. He had puncture history by fishbone, which was immediately removed weeks ago. subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan neck disclosed an abscess formation faint linear radiopaque material inside, consisting remnant fishbone retention. patient treated conservatively intravenous antibiotics, followed uneventful course during follow-up more than 9 months until...
Betel nut chewing, common in several Asian populations, is linked to increased cancer risk, including oral, esophageal, gastric, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Aspirin shows potential as a chemopreventive agent. This study investigates the association between aspirin use risk among betel chewers. chewers aged 18 older were included, with defined at least 28 cumulative daily doses (cDDDs). Propensity score matching Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for time-varying covariates, used...
Accurate staging is the first step for optimal treatment selection in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this propensity-score-matched, population-based cohort study, we investigated survival effects of pretreatment 8-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18FDG-PET-CT) on NPC.We included stage I-IVA NPC receiving radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy and categorized them into two 1:1 propensity score-matched groups according to whether not...
