Abstract Background Since many years, office-based flexible transnasal laryngoscopy is a common routine procedure. The development of new technical equipment such as high-definition cameras and flexible tip-chip endoscopes nowadays allows for much more precise examination than a few years ago. In contrast to rigid laryngoscopy, it is possible to move the tip of the endoscope close to the vocal folds and to other structures of interest....

Abstract Purpose Tonsillectomy is indicated in unilateral tonsillar enlargement (UTE) to rule out malignancy, which eventually is found in about 1.4% of the patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presenting symptoms of patients who underwent tonsillectomy for UTE and identify parameters that are associated with an increased risk for malignancy, for better assessment and refinement of current management protocols. ...

Abstract Purpose Prolonged endotracheal intubation may lead to laryngeal damage, with stridor being the most relevant clinical symptom. Our objective was to determine the incidence of post-extubation stridor and their clinical consequences in children within a tertiary referral center and to identify contributing factors. Methods 150 children, aged 0–16 years,...

Peritoneal metastases evolve through a series of sequential events from high‐risk tumours. Current imaging modalities cannot reliably detect lesions under 0.5 cm in size. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy can offer selected patients a favourable long‐term survival. Abstract Peritoneal metastases confer the worst survival among all sites in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. They develop largely through transcoelomic spread, with a sequence of events...

Acute diverticulitis is a common surgical condition, the risk of which has been shown to be increased in obese patients. The risk of recurrent diverticulitis in obese patients has not been well demonstrated previously. We found obesity did not significantly affect the risk of recurrent acute diverticulitis in a cohort of over 1000 patients. Abstract Background Acute diverticulitis (AD) is a common surgical problem with increasing incidence. Obesity has become epidemic in western countries....

The recurrence of perianal abscess in neonates and infants is lower when a fistula is identified and laid open at the initial operation. There is little value of microscopy and culture studies in the management of paediatric perianal abscess. Abstract Background The optimal management of perianal abscess in neonates and infants remains unclear, including the need for laying open of the fistula and the role of microscopy and culture studies (MCS). We aimed to report the recurrence rate following...

Abstract Age-related changes in muscle composition and function are often treated using exercise, including muscles of the tongue to treat swallowing impairments (dysphagia). Although tongue exercise is commonly prescribed, optimal tongue exercise doses have not been determined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of varying tongue exercise frequency on tongue force, genioglossus muscle fiber size, composition and metabolism, and swallowing in a rat model. We randomized...

Abstract Sialorrhoea in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an often neglected yet key non-motor symptom with impact on patient quality of life. However, previous studies have shown a broad range of prevalence figures. To assess prevalence of drooling in PD and its relationship to quality of life, we performed a retrospective analysis of 728 consecutive PD patients who had a baseline and follow-up assessment as part of the Non-motor International Longitudinal Study (NILS), and for whom...
