The field of extracranial vascular anomalies is considered as special focus of pediatric otolaryngology and it has shown a rapid development during the last years. The reason for this interest is finally also due to the global acceptance of the classification introduced by the ISSVA (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies). Hemangiomas are the most frequently observed vascula...

Venous malformations are benign but symptomatic vascular lesions of the head and neck that undergo soft tissue infiltration and relentless growth. Here we present a 31-year-old female referred for an obstructing and painful right posterior nasal mass. Flexible nasopharyngoscopy and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 3 cm × 4 cm enhancing mucosal and submucosal venous malformation of the ...

background: venous ulcers are a major problem for patients with chronic venous disease (cvd) such as varicose veins. its treatment is very complex and requires great care, such that inappropriate responses to various medical and surgical treatment could change this condition. this report aims to provide clinical experiences of iranian traditional medicine that has been the most effective treatm...

BACKGROUND Several previous reports have revealed that idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), including premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardias (IVTs), can originate from endocardial mitral annulus (ENDO MA). However, these data are limited to ENDO MA VAs, and little is known about the electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and the efficacy of radiofrequenc...

Venous insufficiency syndromes allow venous blood to escape from its normal flow path and flow in a retrograde direction down into an already congested leg. Mild forms of venous insufficiency are often asymptomatic or uncomfortable, and cosmetically disfiguring, but severe venous disease can produce severe systemic consequences and can lead to severe morbidity. Mild symptoms include aching or t...

UNLABELLED Venous ulcers are prevalent, challenging wounds; their incidence is rising with the increasing age of the general population. Physical mo- dalities often are used to help heal these chronic wounds. A prospective study was conducted to investigate the application of high-voltage stimu- lation (HVS), ultrasound therapy (US), low-level laser therapy (LLLT, 810 nm, 65 mW, 4 J/cm2), and c...

Introduction: Venous varices are vascular lesions caused by vasodilatation. These oral cavity usually seen as papules or dark blue nodules on the tongue’s ventral surface buccal and retro-commissural mucosae. They generally asymptomatic but may cause problems such bleeding trauma lack of esthetics. Although many treatment modalities exist for these lesions, laser is a novel less invasive method...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (apdt) and low level laser therapy (lllt) on wound healing, pain intensity, swelling problems, halitosis and the postoperative usage of analgesics after surgical removal of lower third molars. methods: one hundred and fifty patients, randomly divided into three groups were selected (50 per each group)...
