..The aim of this study was to present a novel anatomically comprehensive and clinically applicable system for the quantification of sleep endoscopy findings in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)...

..Despite the poor prognosis, 20% of patients will be alive at 5 years and therefore salvage surgery should be considered when possible...

..The study was designed to describe the potential advantage of CBCT in the setting of an intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak...

..To describe three-dimension (3-D) tomosynthesis and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as an intraoperative imaging system to guide both sinus and skull-base surgery in a cadaveric model...

..The aim of this study was to compare the clinical status, surgical course, and outcomes of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), over the age of 70, with younger patients...

..The number of obstruction sites correlates with respiratory distress index. Sleep endoscopy is safe and simple to perform...

..Tobacco smoking and high alcohol consumption are considered major risk factors of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma. This study compared disease outcome between patients with and without known risk factors...

..Some studies suggest that FNA can cause infarction or metaplastic transformation of benign Warthin's tumors. We review our recent experience with FNA of the parotid gland, focusing on possible complications and pitfalls...

..The aim of the present study was to evaluate the perioperative findings in 6 patients with intrathyroid parathyroid glands treated for hyperparathyroidism in our center over a 5-year period and to review the relevant literature...

..Salivary flow, total protein, albumin, and amylase activity were decreased in mobile phone users. These observations lead to the hypothesis that the use of mobile phones may cause oxidative stress and modify salivary function...

..This study investigated the clinical and histopathological characteristics, disease course, and outcome of SCC of the oral tongue in patients over 75 years old compared with younger patients...

..This study utilized comprehensive salivary analysis to evaluate biochemical and immunological parameters in the saliva of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients...

..There were no postoperative deaths. Minimal sternotomy appears to be an excellent alternative for surgical exploration of the mediastinum and may be used in head and neck surgery for a range of indications...

..Although, in general, the disease-specific outcome is similar to that of the older patients, some of the patients have an exceptionally aggressive disease. An extensive therapeutic regimen should be used in all cases...

....

..The frequency of associated regional as well as distant metastases suggests that aggressive treatment is indicated and that systemic chemotherapy should be contemplated...

..To shed light on the discrepancy between the advanced stage at presentation and high recurrence rate of well-differentiated thyroid cancer in children and the overall good survival...

..Facial palsy secondary to acute otitis media is rarely encountered today. The aim of the present study was to review the characteristics of the disease and propose the proper management...

..These lesions regressed following subtotal parathyroidectomy. We also review the literature on calciphylaxis, with a focus on treatment options...

..The RNS (nitrosamines: nitrates, NO(3), and nitrites, NO(2)) are also produced by the reaction of ROS and other free radicals with nitric oxide (NO) and are therefore in equilibrium with it...

..To assess the long-term (3-5 years) success of adenoidectomy and reasons for unsatisfactory results...

..CONCLUSIONS: A consistent seasonal peak was observed in ROCM. Heightened awareness is important for early recognition and treatment of this disease...

..Our experience in diagnosing and treating subglottic cancer in 4 patients is hereby described. The latest literature on the subject is reviewed...
