All patients had return to normal voice function after healing. Comminuted or displaced fractures require surgical intervention, and early reduction will usually result in better functional outcome compared to delayed repair. Severity of laryngeal injury can be classified according to the Schaefer-Fuhrman...
All structures of DC larynges (epiglottis (P < 0.0001), muscle (P < 0.0001), trachea (P = 0.0045), and esophagus (P = 0.0008) showed DNA <50 ng/mg compared to native larynx. Immunohistochemistry, Masson's trichrome staining, and Luminex analyses showed preservation of important ECM ...
Although vocal cord disorder (VCD) is associated with chronic cough, it is important to understand the distinction. Vocal fold dysfunction is considered to be a result of paradoxical vocal fold movement (PVCM) and results in reduced inspiratory airflow [21]. Compared with the cough alone and ...
"We were surprised to find that nearly two-thirds of patients with stage T4a larynx cancer are not being treated with a total laryngectomy," Grover said. "But we were not surprised to find that overall survival was significantly better with total laryngectomy compared to larynx preservation, ...

S2B,C). The number of tobacco-associated signature 4 mutations per tumor for those tumors that were signature 4 positive (>0 mutations attributed to signature 4) was significantly higher in larynx (mean 108 signature 4 mutations, n = 59) compared with other sub-sites (mean 15 signature...
Yellow, high fold change in CD133+ patient sample as compared to its corresponding CD133− paired sample; blue, high fold change in CD133− sample compared to CD133+ paired sample Full size image The qRT-PCR results confirmed that five of the eight selected miRNAs had a differential ...
to a single area, such as with larynx cancer. Especially in the setting of recurrent disease, the tumor may extend to involve multiple adjacent anatomic sites such as thepalate,tonguebase, pterygoid musculature, hypopharynx,mandiblefor oropharynx primaries, and the larynx, esophagus, and pre...
Thelarynxis fundamental to vocalize, is anatomically related to structures such as the esophagus, trachea, hyoids, thyroid andparathyroidglands,lymph nodes, and large blood vessels.1,2 Phoniatric pathology has revealed problems associated withlaryngeal nerves, such as unilateral or bilateral paralysis ...
