Surgery of the larynx with fibrinous tissue glue (author's transl)

Abstract

A mucosa-muscle flap is formed by an incision on the level of the equilateral vestibular fold during an endoscopic lateral cordopexy of a paralysed vocal cord. The resulting small cavity allows parts of the arytenoid cartilage and of the vocal muscle to be removed. The mucosa-muscle flap is fixed firmly to the lateral part of the cavity by tissue glue; the mucosal incision on the vestibular fold is sealed by tissue glue too. Frontolateral partial resection of the larynx in cases of unilateral tumors of the vocal cords may be extended by additional resection of the arytenoid cartilage and the posterior part of the vocal cord. Restricted mobility of the vocal cord caused by infiltration of the tumor into the interior laryngeal muscles should be a contraindication for this operation. The resulting defect-- including the former region of the true and false vocal cords with the anterior commissure--is covered by a movable mucosa flap taken from the aryepiglottidean fold and from the entrance of the piriform sinus. The flap is fixed by tissue glue. The wound lips are sealed by tissue glue as well. A postoperative tamponade is not necessary. By using tissue glue, both operations will be done easier, quicker, safer, and last but not le...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
