Fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy of tissue autofluorescence in normal and diseased colon measured ex vivo using a fiber-optic probe

open access: yes, 2013
We present an ex vivo study of temporally and spectrally resolved autofluorescence in a total of 47 endoscopic excision biopsy/resection specimens from colon, using pulsed excitation laser sources operating at wavelengths of 375 nm and 435 nm.

Influence of Tracheostomy Level on Surgical Management of Pediatric Airway Stenosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Tracheostomy location is a critical determinant of surgical complexity and outcomes in pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis. Misplacement may lead to longer tracheal resections, an increased need for stoma relocation, more complex reconstruction, and secondary stenosis. Strategic planning of tracheostomy position can improve surgical outcomes.

Severe Thrombocytopenia Is Associated With Bleeding in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Receiving Antiangiogenic Therapy

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Thrombocytopenia is common in hepatocellular carcinoma and may increase bleeding risk during antiangiogenic therapy, yet the clinically relevant platelet threshold remains uncertain. We found that a baseline platelet count < 50 × 109/L was associated with bleeding; patients below this cutoff had a substantially higher bleeding rate than those with ...

Cystoscopic extraction of an unusual intravesical foreign body: A case report

open access: yesUroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Foreign bodies (FBs) in the urogenital tract are considered surgical emergencies due to the risk of complications such as perforation, infection, and obstruction. FBs can be introduced into the urethra and migrate into the bladder. Various FBs, including pens, jump ropes, magnetic ball chains, and needles have been reported in the ...

Outcomes in Orbit‐Sparing Versus Orbit‐Sacrificing Surgery for Sinonasal Malignancies With Orbital Involvement: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sinonasal malignancies with orbital involvement may be managed with orbit‐sacrificing or orbit‐preserving surgical approaches, with a recent shift towards orbital preservation to reduce postoperative morbidity while maintaining oncological success.

Obesity and Its Impact on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity introduces challenges in surgical contexts, including endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the impact of obesity on ESS outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the association between obesity and surgical complexity, operative

Prelacrimal Transmaxillary‐Orbital Approach for Resection of Lateral Extraconal Orbital Cavernous Hemangioma

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic orbital surgery is likely a reasonable option for patients with orbital cavernous hemangiomas (OCH) medial to the optic nerve (ON). The endoscopic resection of OCH lateral to the ON is extremely challenging. Zhou et al. first described the endoscopic prelacrimal recess approach (PLRA) for the management of the maxillary sinus and ...
