conclusions pharyngeal airway dimensions, soft palate length, thickness, and position, and hyoid position are not significantly different between skeletal class i and class ii prepubertal children. results no significant difference in the upper airway, soft palate, and hyoid variables was found between the two groups (p > 0.05) and no correlation was found between anb difference and the other v...

malignancy and tumor in ent are less common but more important, also they have not any certain sign until they progress thus it will be so important that we consider some abnormal common signs when we are examine patients until do not miss them, this study was conducted to establish the various clinical modes of presentation of pharyngeal neoplasm and their correlation with final histopathologi...

The organisation of organ formation is still an unsolved problem. Mutations in the zygotic lethal gene pha-1 affect a late step during organ development in the nematode C. elegans. In mutant embryos all tissues in the pharynx fail to undergo terminal differentiation and morphogenesis. The expression of an early differentiation marker in pharyngeal muscle precursors is not impaired in mutant emb...

OBJECTIVE Anecdotal evidence shows that the Shaker exercise and its modifications improve pharyngeal muscle contraction. However, there is no experimental evidence for the same. Thus, the present study examined the effect of modified Shaker exercise on the amplitude and duration of pharyngeal muscle contraction using cervical auscultation. DESIGN The study follows a cross-sectional study desi...
