Abstract Background The aim of this study is to estimate the incidence, mortality, and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma from 1990 to 2017. Methods We collected detailed information on nasopharyngeal carcinoma from 1990 to 2017 based on data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2017. The global incidence, mortality, and DALYs attributable to nasopharyngeal carcinoma was reported, as well as the age‐standardized rates (ASRs). Results The ASR of...

Abstract Background Identification of risk factors for perioperative complications helps in the prognostication. We wanted to determine whether Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and Portsmouth‐POSSUM (P‐POSSUM) can be used in patients undergoing head and neck oncosurgery. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1265 patients after they had major head and neck oncosurgeries. Demographic, surgical and outcome data was...

Abstract Here, we describe the surgical technique for implanting a new, active, transcutaneous bone conduction hearing aid. The implant technology is based on a system that has been in use reliably since 2012. The geometry of the new implant has been adapted based on experience with previously introduced implants. The surgery was feasible, standardized, and safe. Due to the optimized geometric design that improved the bone fit, it is not necessary to use specialized, detailed preoperative...

Abstract BackgroundPerivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) represent a rare group of mesenchymal tumors with an unpredictable outcome. They are usually observed in middle‐aged women whilst they are very rare in children, with limited cases described. Due to the rare anatomical location in kidneys a correct diagnosis and treatment is really challenging.MethodsWe observed and treated a case of kidney's PEComa in a 14‐year‐old boy.ResultsAn individualized approach based on anatomical (3D CT‐reconstructions)...

Objectives Laryngoscopes and subglottiscopes of multiple shapes and lengths are used in airway surgery to maintain an open airway; protect the trachea; and provide a place to mount the light, evacuator, and ventilation needle. Despite differences in scopes and ventilation needle mounting positions, the same jet pressures are typically used. We hypothesized that different scopes and scope configurations would affect distal airway pressure magnitude and homogeneity. Study Design A laboratory...

Objectives Nonautologous graft materials may solve several dilemmas in tympanoplasty by obviating the need for graft harvest, facilitating consistent wound healing, and permitting graft placement in the clinical setting. Prior studies of nonautologous grafts in humans have shown variable outcomes. In this systematic review, we aim to 1) summarize clinical outcomes and 2) discuss limitations in the literature regarding nonautologous grafts for tympanoplasty in humans. Methods A literature review...

Background: PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) represents a group of syndromes caused by a mutation in the PTEN gene. Children with a germline PTEN mutation have an increased risk of developing differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Several guidelines have focused on thyroid surveillance in these children, but studies substantiating these recommendations are lacking. Objective: The present study intends to provide the available evidence for a thyroid carcinoma surveillance program in children...
