Oropharyngeal free flap reconstruction: Transoral robotic surgery versus open approach
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1564-1570, December 2023., 2023 Transoral robotic surgery with free flap reconstruction improves surgical outcomes in salvage oropharyngeal surgery patients compared to classic surgical approaches. Abstract Objective Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has evolved since its 2009 US Food and Drug Administration approval for use in local stage T1–T2 oropharyngeal carcinoma. The ability to

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 280-287, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Even though the use of nerve monitoring during parotid gland surgery is not the gold standard to prevent damage to the nerve, it surely offers some advantages over the traditional approach. Different from thyroid surgery, where a series of steps in intraoperative nerve monitoring have been described to confirm not only the integrity

Unraveling the dangerous duet between cancer cell plasticity and drug resistance
Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Cancer cell plasticity is the ability of tumor cells to switch phenotypes and is one of the predominant requisites of cancer cells capable of undergoing metastasis. Cancer cell plasticity is also recognized as one of the major contributors to intratumoral heterogeneity, a critical factor underlying the progression of malignant tumors, which is

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 305-315, April 2022., 2022 This study aimed to assess the impact of coronavirus disease‐19 lockdowns on allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms reported by the patients treated with immunotherapy at two allergy referral centers in Colombia. Up to 38.4% of the AR patients reported that their symptoms got worse during lockdowns, probably due to higher exposure to indoor AR allergens and ...

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 634-640, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Background After internal carotid artery (ICA) injury during endoscopic skull base surgery, the majority of patients undergo ICA embolization or stenting to treat active extravasation or pseudoaneurysm development. However, management practices when embolization or stenting is not required have not been well described.

Mechanistic insights into the heterogeneous response to anti‐VEGF treatment in tumors
Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a strong promoter of angiogenesis in tumors, and anti‐VEGF treatment, such as a humanized antibody to VEGF, is clinically used as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy to treat cancer patients. However, this approach is not effective in all patients or cancer types.

Worldwide comparison of treatment guidelines for sore throat
International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 75, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Introduction Sore throat (acute pharyngitis) is globally one of the most frequent reasons for seeking healthcare. Its etiology is mostly viral. In 15%‐30% of cases, group A streptococci (GAS) are detected, which may cause acute rheumatic fever.
