Abstract

To share our experience with primary endoscopic laryngoplasty in pediatric acquired subglottic stenosis and critically review the previously published studies. Tertiary Referral Centers, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A retrospective case series study was conducted, where the case notes of all pediatric patients who underwent endoscopic management as a primary surgical intervention for acquired subglottic stenosis (SGS) from 2004 to 2014 were reviewed. All patients who underwent surgical correction with primary open laryngoplasty for congenital subglottic stenosis had been excluded. A total of 60 patients with a workable diagnosis of subglottic stenosis were reviewed. Forty-five patients were included in the study and 15 patients were excluded because they underwent open laryngoplasty as a primary treatment modality for congenital subglottic stenosis. The majority of the patients were males 29 (64%), with 16 (36%) females. The main presentation was stridor and intercostal recession. Thirty-nine (86%) patients had subglottic stenosis due to prolonged intubation; 5 (11%) patients were idiopathic and one patient (3%) had inflammatory reasons. The site of stenosis was isolated SGS in 41 while 4 patients had glot...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.
