Cervical lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor in patients with head and neck carcinoma. We retrospectively analyzed effects of three different variables-tumor size, degree differentiation, depth invasion-on risk 50 adults who had been treated surgery for primary squamous cell carcinoma oral cavity. Primary tumor other pathologic features were determined by reviewing pathology specimens. Preoperatively, 36 clinically N0; however, occult was found 13 these (36.1%). The...

Abstract Aims Olfaction and gustation in patients with diabetes mellitus have great significance on quality of life, their impairment may result possible hazards. A limited number studies been performed to determine the alteration both gustatory olfactory function type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The aim this study was whether patients, without DPN, exhibit major dysfunction using validated dependable techniques. Methods An observational‐analytical case‐control conducted. Sixty...

The medications may enhance the recovery after nerve paralysis. We aimed to evaluate effects of aminoguanidine (AG), melatonin, and methylprednisolone on peripheral facial neurorrhaphy.The buccal branch was transected autografted in 32 New Zealand rabbits. Subjects were divided into 4 groups equally (AG, methylprednisolone, control). After medical treatment latency amplitude measured with conduction study at 3, 6, 10 weeks. Then, coapted segments examined microscopically. compared each...

Introduction: Congenital cholesteatoma is thought to be caused by inadequate folding of the epidermoid formation inside middle ear cleft. During development mucosa, stratified squamous epithelium accumulates in embryonic life. Its typical appearance a “pearl” beneath anterosuperior quadrant tympanic membrane.

Aminoglycosides (AGs) have been widely used for potential life-threatening bacterial infections. Although AGs are well known their ototoxic side effects, some such as amikacin considered less harmful to auditory functions; thus, monitoring is mostly neglected during treatment with these drugs. To reflect the hazards of repeated use on patients cystic fibrosis (CF). 32CF prior exposure at least 3 courses (the CF group) and 35 non-CF visiting outpatient clinic any complaint other than hearing...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is rare self-limiting with unknown etiology characterized by fever and lymphadenopathy. Laboratory findings are non-specific. Although, viral, chemical agents, autoimmunity suggested in etiology, exact cause has not been identified. It often misdiagnosed as malign lymphoma. Histologically, involved nodes show localized proliferation of histiocytes immunoblast associated abundant nuclear debris tissue necrosis. In this article, 29 years-old female patient applied neck...
