The Impact of Estrogen on Stromal Elements in the Proximal Airway in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is an unexplained fibrosis of the proximal airway that predominantly impacts Caucasian women. Clinically, premenopausal patients suffer from higher recurrence rates, potentially implicating ovarian hormone 17B‐estradiol (E2) in disease pathogenesis.

Pre‐operative voice evaluation as a hypothetical predictor of difficult laryngoscopy

open access: yesAnaesthesia, 2019
We examined the potential for voice sounds to predict a difficult airway as compared with prediction by the modified Mallampati test. A total of 453 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation were studied ...

Synchronous Regeneration: Key Mechanism for Selective Reinnervation in Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study investigates the mechanisms behind the success of selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery in bilateral vocal fold paralysis. In an animal model, the surgery promoted neuromuscular regeneration and restored coordinated vocal fold movement, with no misdirected potentials observed.

Evaluating the Effect of Various Doses of Magnesium Sulfate on Cardiovascular Changing and Stimulating due to Laryngoscopes and Intubation

open access: yesمجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2015
Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation may produce adverse hemodynamic effects. Magnesium directly contributes to coronary vasodilatation and inhibits the release of catecholamines, thus attenuating the hemodynamic effects during ...

Evaluating the incidence, clinical significance and predictors for vocal cord palsy and incidental laryngopharyngeal conditions before elective thyroidectomy: is there a case for routine laryngoscopic examination? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Routine preoperative laryngeal examination remains controversial. We aimed to assess the utility of preoperative routine flexible laryngoscopy (FL) by looking at the incidence, clinical significance and predictors for preoperative vocal cord ...
