Difficult intubation in thyroid surgery: myth or reality?
Thyroid surgery is considered to be a risk factor for difficult airway management. We prospectively studied 324 consecutive patients undergoing thyroid surgery to investigate the incidence of difficult intubation as evaluated by the intubation difficulty scale as well as other specific predictive factors. The overall incidence of difficult intubation was 11.1% (95% CI: 7.6-14.5). Median intubat...
متن کاملReconstruction of circumferential oro- and hypopharyngeal defects with U-shaped pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a U-shaped pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) to reconstruct a large circumferential defect involving the oro- and hypopharynx. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective case series. RESULTS Twelve patients with advanced oro- and hypopharyngeal cancer (stage IV) underwent surgery resulting in a circumferential defec...
متن کاملA Novel Funnel-Shaped Flap for Reconstruction Surgery after Total Laryngopharyngectomy with Total Glossectomy
Reconstruction following total laryngopharyngectomy with total glossectomy (TLPTG) is challenging. To reconstruct this extended range of mucosal defect, it is necessary to overcome the remarkable discrepancy of apertures of oral and esophageal sides. We report a case of reconstruction surgery for total laryngopharyngectomy with total glossectomy with a funnel-shaped rectus abdominis musclocutan...
متن کاملMemory-Limited U-Shaped Learning
U-shaped learning is a learning behaviour in which the learner first learns something, then unlearns it and finally relearns it. Such a behaviour, observed by psychologists, for example, in the learning of past-tenses of English verbs, has been widely discussed among psychologists and cognitive scientists as a fundamental example of the non-monotonicity of learning. Previous theory literature h...
متن کاملVariations on U-Shaped Learning
The paper deals with the following problem: is returning to wrong conjectures necessary to achieve full power of algorithmic learning? Returning to wrong conjectures complements the paradigm of U-shaped learning [3,7,9,24,29] when a learner returns to old correct conjectures. We explore our problem for classical models of learning in the limit from positive data: explanatory learning (when a le...
