Several randomized clinical trials comparing different bowel preparations (BP) have shown similar efficacy; however, there is a lack of real-world studies on this topic.
Objectives: Patients with acute respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a high likelihood of needing prolonged intubation and may subsequently require tracheotomy. Indications timing for performing tracheotomy in patients affected by severe COVID-19 pneumonia are still elusive. The aim this study is analyze the role context pandemic. Moreover, we report procedure time needed complete weaning decannulation our center. Methods: This retrospective, observational...
Predicting hearing outcome in sudden sensorineural loss (SSNHL) is challenging, as well detecting the underlying pathomechanisms. SSNHL could be associated with vestibular damage since cochleo-vestibular structures share same vascularization, along being close anatomical proximity. Whereas viral inflammations and autoimmune/vascular disorders most likely represent involved aetiologies, early-stage Menière's disease (MD) can also present SSNHL. Since an early treatment beneficially influence...
Objective Thyroid surgery may lead to postoperative complications. The aim of this paper was determine whether the rate hypoparathyroidism (HPT) is influenced by staged. Design Single-institution retrospective observational study. Methods clinical records 786 patients treated at Otolaryngology Unit Azienda USL-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia between January 1990 and December 2015 were reviewed. Patients divided into two groups according surgical treatment received: group TT (637 patients, 81.04%)...
We describe a rare case of posterior semicircular canal (PSC) fibrosis following acute labyrinthine ischemia in the territory supplied by common cochlear artery (CCA) and review relevant literature. A 71-year-old man with multiple vascular risk factors presented 12 days after onset vertigo profound left-sided hearing loss. Right-beating spontaneous nystagmus downbeat components elicited mastoid vibrations headshaking was detected. The video head impulse test (vHIT) revealed an isolated...
We describe a case series of labyrinthine fistula, characterized by Hennebert's sign (HS) elicited tragal compression despite global hypofunction semicircular canals (SCs) on video-head impulse test (vHIT), and review the relevant literature. All three patients presented with different amounts cochleo-vestibular loss, consistent labyrinthitis likely induced fistula due to temporal bone pathologies (squamous cell carcinoma involving external auditory canal in one middle ear cholesteatoma two...
Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS) is a rare anomaly causing respiratory distress in newborns. While the primary surgical technique well established, timing of removal stents and management restenosis remain matter debate. We report case female newborn affected by CNPAS with recurrence after surgery due to early stents, an overgrowth granulation tissue. This notes that was successfully managed repeating procedure over 14-day period, soft polyvinyl chloride uncuffed tracheal...
We describe a rare case of spontaneous upbeat nystagmus (UBN) attributable to canalith jam involving the anterior semicircular canal (ASC) in patient whom comprehensive vestibular assessment was useful identify underlying pathomechanism. A 56-year-old woman with unsteadiness following repositioning procedures for left-sided benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) presented UBN that showed slight right torsional components. test battery detected isolated left ASC hypofunction on...
To describe presentation, diagnosis and management of a case spontaneous temporal bone pneumocele with large intracranial extension brain compression associated external auditory canal pneumatocele. A 34-year-old male patient was referred for epidural air collection compressing the right cerebral hemisphere. The asymptomatic except persisting fullness ear which he performed frequent Valsalva maneuvers. CT scan showed luminal enlargement thinning limiting bone, focal dehiscences at level...
