Possible Role of in Ear Nose and Throat Diseases.

Background: is assumed to cause many gastric and extragastric diseases. We aimed to assess the possible association role of in Otitis media with effusion (OME), nasal polyps and adenotonsillitis.

Patients And Methods: A total of 186 patients with various ear, nose and throat diseases were included.

Role of microsatellites instability in carcinogenesis of postcricoid carcinoma on top of plummer-vinson syndrome.

To develop a molecular pattern that might help in understanding carcinogenesis of postcricoid carcinoma (PCC) on top of Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) in a prospective controlled study. Twenty-four patients with PVS were diagnosed and followed up over a 4 year period, during which eight of them showed malignant change to PCC. Twenty volunteers free of neoplastic diseases were included as a control group.

The effect of adenoidectomy on right ventricular performance in children.

Objective: Several studies have shown a reduction in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) after adenoidectomy in children suffering form upper airway obstruction caused by adenoid hypertrophy (AH). However, it is not clear whether this would be significantly reflected on right ventricle output (RVO).

Methods: Our aim was to determine if there were any detectable changes in RV performance parameters after adenoidectomy in children with AH.
