Laryngeal sarcoidosis is a rare condition, particularly in the pediatric population. Acute airway intervention may be required severe cases, but guidelines to support therapeutic strategy are absent. Moreover, evidence regarding systemic therapy scarce. This encouraged us report result of management and methotrexate at one-year follow-up child with laryngeal sarcoidosis. A 14-year-old Caucasian...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Video imaging of intubation as seen by the laryngoscopist has not been a part of traditional instruction methods, and its potential impact on novice intubation success rates has not been evaluated. METHODS We prospectively tracked the success rates of novice intubators in paramedic classes who were required to watch a 26-minute instructional videotape made with a direct laryng...

Introduction. Modern diagnostics of laryngeal diseases is based on the use video endoscopic technologies. The authors article, having almost thirty years experience with various methods endoscopy, proposed a classification examination. Objective. To develop an algorithm for application examination in voice professionals functional and organic dysphonia. Materials methods. From 2020 to 2022, 230...

This paper is concerned with kernel-based techniques for automated categorization of laryngeal colour image sequences obtained by video laryngostroboscopy. Features used to characterize a laryngeal image are given by the kernel principal components computed using the N -vector of the 3-D colour histogram. The least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is designed for categorizing an image se...

The video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. The objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. RMSE values and processing ...

Airway management is essential for safe anesthesia and endotracheal intubation is the most important procedure by which critically ill patients can be better managed, especially if done quickly and successfully. This study aimed to compare the techniques of intubation through laryngeal mask airway (LMA) using a bougie versus video laryngoscopy (VL) regarding to intubation success and the qualit...
