Obesity and its many serious comorbidities exert a heavy toll in both human and economic terms. More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese and, therefore, subject to elevated rates of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and other cardiovascular disease risk factors. The negative

Concurrent laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is rare and no prior report has been found through a PubMed search. Here we report such a case of a 51-year old obese male presenting with hoarseness and trouble swallowing for 2 to 3 months. Imaging findings of

BACKGROUND Obesity is a stigmatizing condition associated with adverse psychosocial consequences. The relative importance of weight stigma in reducing health utility or the value a person places on their current health state is unknown. METHODS We conducted a telephone survey of patients with

Besides tobacco and alcohol, diet and inflammation have been suggested to be important risk factors for laryngeal cancer. In this study, we examined the role of diet-associated inflammation, as estimated by dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores, in laryngeal cancer in a multicentre case-control

BACKGROUND In recent years, percutaneous tracheostomy has been performed in patients with adverse conditions such as short neck, obesity, coagulopathy or in emergency. METHODS We performed percutaneous tracheostomy with Griggs' or Ciaglia's technique in five patients with difficult airways due to

Since its introduction in 1985 with Ciaglia, percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) was contraindicated in emergency settings and obesity. However, several case series in the last 20 years have documented the use of PT in life-threatening airway emergencies. We present a case of severe acute airway

BACKGROUND Greater tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption and lower body mass index (BMI) increase odds ratios (OR) for oral cavity, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers; however, there are no comprehensive sex-specific comparisons of ORs for these factors. METHODS We analyzed 2,441

Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, with their total population of more than 1,500 million, make up the subcontinent of South Asia. Despite massive diversity across the region, there are sufficient similarities to warrant a collective approach to chronic disease control,

Objective: To illustrate trends in sex ratios in epithelial cancer mortality in the EU, USA, and Japan, with a focus on age-specific and cohort patterns. Methods: We obtained
