An 18-year-old Caucasian man with a history dental extraction developed dysarthria, lethargy, purulent rhinorrhea, and fever. computed tomography scan demonstrated extensive sinusitis involving maxillary sinus, anterior ethmoid frontal...
To evaluate electrophysiological findings among patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and to compare them those of suffering from definite Ménière disease (MD) without migraine.Twenty-one consecutive VM were enrolled; all subjects selected according the criteria proposed by Bàràny Society for Neuro-otology. Each patient underwent a careful otological neurotological examination. After completing questionnaire regarding vertigo complaints, they assessed audiometric testing, video head impulse...
To date, histological biomarkers expressed by laryngeal cancer are poorly known. The identification of associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), would help explain the tumorogenesis and prevent possible recurrence lesion after treatment. For this reason, aim study is to investigate, for first time, Orphanin expression in 48 human specimens SCC evaluate its correlation patients prognosis. We analyzed pathological from detect presence using an immunohistochemistry test. compared findings...
The treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma needs accurate risk stratification, in order to choose the most suitable therapy. prognostic significance resection margin is still highly debated, considering contradictory results obtained several studies regarding survival rate patients with a positive margin.To evaluate role terms and recurrence primary tumour through analysis.Between 2007 2014, 139 affected by underwent partial or total laryngectomy were followed for mean 59.44±28.65...
To investigate the relationship between haematological routine parameters and audiogram shapes in patients affected by sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).A retrospective study. All were divided into four groups according to audiometric curve mean values of (haemoglobin, white blood cell, neutrophils lymphocytes relative count, platelet haematocrit, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin fibrinogen neutrophil-to-lymphocite ratio) each group statistically compared. The...
Choanal atresia is a rare congenital malformation of the nasal cavity characterized by complete obliteration posterior choanae.

Among these drugs, cinnarizine, given together with dimenhydrinate, appears be first-line pharmacotherapy management vertigo...
(1) Background: Inferior turbinates’ hypertrophy is often associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD); radiofrequency turbinate reduction (RTR) may provide a long-term improvement of nasal obstruction and ETD-related symptoms. (2) Aim: The study aimed to compare ETD in atopic non-atopic patients before after RTR investigate the correlation between tympanometry Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire-7 (ETDQ-7). (3) Methods: Ninety-seven patients, ranging from 33 68 years old, were screened by...
