To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory or gustatory dysfunction in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
Objective. To describe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient presentations requiring otolaryngology consultation and provide recommendations for protective measures based on the experience of ear, nose, throat (ENT) departments in 4 Chinese hospitals during COVID-19 pandemic. Study Design. Retrospective case series. Setting. Multicenter. Subjects Methods. Twenty hospitalized patients ENT from 3 designated Wuhan, Shanghai, Shenzhen were identified. Data demographics, comorbidities,...
Abstract This paper deals with the long‐term follow‐up of cartilage autografts taken from various parts body to reconstruct areas nose, ear, trachea, eyelid, and other which require augmentation, effacement, support. Our thesis will be that autograft is implant choice in many these areas, fate autogenous well known should given strong priority facial grafting.
Endotracheal intubation with current inert low-pressure, high-volume cuffed tubes is a safe procedure associated few complications in the vast majority of patients. However, related to mechanical difficulties and mucosal injury can occur even under ideal circumstances. Immediate are primarily problems during extubation while early late represent short- long-term effects epithelial trauma.
Laryngeal cysts, particularly epiglottic are generally benign lesions which cause mild dysphagia or hoarseness. We report a case of an cyst that caused almost complete airway obstruction. A 43-year-old man presented with progressive dysphagia, hoarseness, and obstruction secondary to large cystic mass involving the entire epiglottis filling hypopharynx. He required emergency tracheotomy secure airway, was incised drained. Following subsequent recurrence, laser excision performed problem...
OBJECTIVE Traditional assessments of the microbial flora associated with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis have relied on maxillary sinus punctures (taps) and culture. These taps are now considered gold standard for obtaining cultures used as method identifying pathogens in antimicrobial trials. Maxillary limited by discomfort to patients technical concerns. Because these factors, performing has antibiotic trials surveillance. Alternatives been explored. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a...
In response to the disruption in surgical education that has resulted from COVID-19 pandemic, American College of Surgeons (ACS) Division Education through ACS Academy Master Surgeon Educators appointed a Special Committee national leaders and experts charged with responsibility addressing major educational needs during pandemic establishing foundation for future innovations training.1American Bulletin Brief Education. master committee addresses challenges opportunities training...
The goal was to examine the current scope of otolaryngologists' practices, their geographic distribution, and roles otolaryngologists other specialists play in caring for patients with otolaryngic related conditions head neck.A large national survey administrative claims databases were examined develop practice profiles compile a physician supply otolaryngology. A focus group provided information model future scenarios.The predicted workforce demographics are at satisfactory level decreasing...
Objective (1) To describe the patient and membership cohort captured by otolaryngology‐based specialty‐specific Reg‐ent registry. (2) outline capabilities of registry, including process which members can access evidence‐based data to address knowledge gaps identified American Academy Otolaryngology–Head Neck Surgery/Foundation ultimately define “quality” for our field otolaryngology–head neck surgery. Methods Data analytics was performed on (2015‐2020) Results A total 1629 participants from...
Abstract Otolaryngology residency training, along with the world of online medical education, has been continuously evolving and refining methods to educate produce competent otolaryngologists. Numerous resources have developed assist otolaryngology residents in enhancing their clinical training. Although these greatly enhance growing volume material presents a challenge within constrained schedule residents. This is compounded by variability quality among which lack standardization or...
An efficient method to evaluate the patency of microvascular anastomoses and predict flap viability is crucial when free flaps are used in reconstructive surgery. We report a study 60 neurovascular island rats where nutrient artery and/or vein were transected anastomosed. Fluorescein dye was injected immediately after anastomosis, uptake elimination quantified at 5‐minute intervals with fiberoptic perfusion fluorometer. Analysis delivery clearly identified six hypofluorescent presumed be...
Congenital bronchomalacia is a disease typically associated with infants between 1 and 12 months of age; cases in children less than month age are rare. Bronchomalacia commonly tracheomalacia rarely warrants operative intervention. Three presented, including two unusual neuromuscular disorder, one complicated by hypotonia. These patients required ventilatory support the form continuous positive airway pressure to prevent lobar collapse. Following tracheobronchial maturation, these were able...
The etiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic strategies associated with membranous laryngotracheobronchitis are discussed. A case is presented in which a lateral neck radiograph gave the preliminary impression of tracheal foreign body. Endoscopic examination upper airway revealed correct diagnosis acute laryngotracheobronchitis. Comparison more commonly occurring viral made.
A rare case of acinic cell carcinoma minor salivary gland origin within the oral cavity is reported in a 62‐year‐old woman. These tumors most commonly arise parotid and follow an insidious course requiring long‐term follow‐up. The gross histologic features patient's tumor include pseudoencapsulation, mixed solid acinar architecture, microcyst formation, presence conspicuous diastase‐fast PAS‐positive cytoplasmic granules, characteristic lesions that have been called by variety authors....
Abstract Objective: Evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory or gustatory dysfunction in COVID-19 patients Study Design: Multicenter Case Series Setting: 5 tertiary care hospitals (3 China, 1 France, Germany) Subjects Methods: 394 PCR confirmed positive were screened, those with included. Data including demographics, severity, patient outcome, incidence degree and/or collected analyzed. The Questionnaire Olfactory Disorders (QOD) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) used to quantify...
Frontal sinus obliteration is performed for a variety of reasons, including chronic disease, traumatic injuries, mucoceles, and osteomas the sinus. Once decision made to obliterate sinus, it paramount that all mucosal remnants be removed material used fill irregular expanses frontal help prevent recurrence disease process. The materials most commonly this purpose are fat, muscle, pericranium. Fat obtained from abdomen, gluteal area, or lateral thigh probably frequently substance. procurement...
