Background: Laryngeal tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common complications of pulmonary tuberculosis, which increased for various reasons such as more prevalence of immune system suppression diseases, increasing the survival of the elderly, immigrants from high-risk areas and the appearance of atypical or resistant organisms over the past two decades, and its clinical pattern changed compa...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To enhance understanding of spontaneous laryngeal muscle reinnervation following severe recurrent laryngeal nerve injury by testing the hypotheses that 1) nerve fibers responsible for thyroarytenoid muscle reinnervation can originate from multiple sources and 2) superior laryngeal nerve is a source of reinnervation. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, controlled, animal model. M...

Introduction: Actinomycosis of the larynx has been rarely reported in the literature and usually occurs in patients with a history of laryngeal carcinoma and radiation therapy. However, its co-existence with chondroradionecrosis due to radiotherapy is even rarer. The most common site of infection is the cervicofacial region, especially in the submandibular area.   Case Report: Here we report a ...

paragangliomas in the head and neck are found typically in the region of the carotid body, jugular body, and along the 9th and 10th cranial nerves. they can occur in multicenteric forms, but generally, laryngeal paragangliomas are not found in these patients. only two cases of laryngeal paraganglioma have been reported with a synchronous lesion elsewhere. we report an additional case of a 34-ye...

We report a case of laryngeal tuberculosis in a 47-year-old Korean man. Laryngeal tuberculosis is rare and currently accounts for less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis. Clinical features of laryngeal tuberculosis include hoarseness, odynophagia and dyspnoea. Macroscopically, laryngeal tuberculosis may mimic laryngeal carcinoma, chronic laryngitis or laryngeal candidiasis. The diagnosis is o...

Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) is considered to be a multifactorial drug side effect. This study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B gene polymorphisms in pediatric patients with SCAR admitted in tertiary referral center, southwestern of Iran from 2013 to 2017. Demographic data, past allergy and autoimmune history, clinical pres...

the aim of this study is to determine whether there is a role of podoplanin and glutathione s-transferases t1 (gst-t1) expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. the study was completed with 33 patients and gene expression analysis was performed by qrt–pcr. the podoplanin and gst-t1 expression patterns were analyzed to determine their correlation with clinicopathologic parameters of laryn...

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...

Results: Coverage for BCG, OPV3, DPT3 & Measles were 92.04%, 85.23%, 83.71% & 82.20% respectively. BCG scar was seen in 83.95% of children out of those who received BCG. The proportions of fully immunized children were 79.55%. Unimmunized children were 4.16%. Dropout rate was 9.05% for BCG-DPT3, 10.69% for BCG-Measles & 7.53% for DPT1-DPT3. Compared to NFHS3 (2005-06) as well as DLHS3 (Gandhina...
