Abstract

To review the etiology and pathogenesis of acquired glottic stenosis, as well as the workup, patient preparation, interventional options, and their changing trends, as described in the literature since the 19th century until the present day. Literature from the PubMed search engine and the authors' personal experience were used. The search included up to date studies and historical reports covering different aspects of glottic stenosis, such as basic science, pathogenesis, anesthesia, and surgical techniques. At present, the most common etiology for acquired glottic stenosis is damage to the posterior commissure after intubation. Until less than a century ago, infectious diseases such as diphtheria and syphilis were the most prevalent etiologies. The common pathway of stenosis includes mucosal and cartilaginous ulcers, granulation formation, fibrosis, and tethering scars. Planning of surgical intervention must begin with the matching of expectations with the patient and considering voice versus airway functions. Preoperative tracheotomy should be considered for securing the airway. Anesthesia has to be carefully planned, and both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist have to be familiar with the options for tubeless jet ventilat...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
