Optimal Duration of Voice Rest Voice Following Phonosurgery for benign vocal lesions: Prospective Randomized Study
Background:
Phonosurgery is performed in order to improve voice quality in patients with various vocal fold pathologies including nodules, cysts, polyps, granulomas, leukoplakia, and
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) degeneration that begins as a night vision loss, resulting in narrowing of the visual field and legal blindness. RP is a heterogeneous genetic disorder, affecting 1/3000- 8000 people worldwide. RP is the
Cataract surgery worsens preoperative DME, deserving an adequate pre and postoperative treatment. A large British study demonstrated that even eyes without preexisting edema are at risk of DME development after surgery according to the gravity of retinopathy. A new DME classification (the ESASO
The monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is crucial in head injuries and pathologies such as brain edema, arachnoid cyst, craniosynostosis or, in very-low-birthweight infants, post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Some current methods of ICP are invasive and, in the case of lumbar puncture, require
Background
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations consist of tangled blood vessels forming a so-called nidus which connects arteries to veins without the interposition of a capillary bed. Due to subsequent structural changes of draining veins within the nidus, patients are at risk of cerebral
This diffusion sequence has shown its usefulness in pancreatic pathology in the detection and characterization of focal pancreatic lesions, particularly for neuroendocrine tumors, the evaluation of chronic and autoimmune pancreatitis or the early detection of malignant transformation of certain
The treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is well established in medical literature. These treatments include topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI), intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, and laser photocoagulation. Oral acetazolamide, a carbonic
The study was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Medical University of Lublin, Lublin, Poland (KE-0254/276/2013). The study population consisted of 50 women undergoing pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical and endometrial cancer and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria requirements.
Advantages of using ultrasound in the assessment of intracranial pressure:
simple, bedside examination, repetitive, generally available, cheap, no exposure to X-rays, no need to transport the patient to the CT laboratory
Differential diagnosis:
Widening of the size of the optic nerve sheath outside
1. Introduction: Low back pain is one of the major health problems, studies show that it can affect 80-85% of people throughout life; consisting of the second major cause of work withdrawal. In the investigation by lumbar spine imaging methods, facet osteoarthritis (FO) is one of the most prevalent
Approximately 40 eyes will be randomized (1:1 ratio) into either Group 1 or Group 2. Slit lamp exam and Indirect ophthalmoscopy will be performed at every study visit, where retinopathy level will be assessed. SD-OCT will be performed at each visit. Fluorescein angiogram will be performed at screen,
Initial assessment
All the patients included in the study were submitted to the initial evaluation, in which the following exams and scales were performed:
- Magnetic resonance of the affected knee, according to IOTHCFMUSP standard radiology protocol;
- Panoramic radiography of lower limbs to
Retinal detachments consist in a separation of the neuroretina from the retinal pigment epithelium. The most common form is rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), which occurs as a result of a full-thickness retinal break and the presence of vitreoretinal tractions. Photoreceptor cell death occurs
Objective:
Rod-cone dystrophy (RCD) is a term applied to a number of genetically heterogenous diseases presenting with night vision abnormalities, visual field defects and reduced rod electroretinography responses. Enhanced S-Cone syndrome (ESCS) is a rare autosomal recessive retinal disease with a
