Teflon has been proved to be able to extravasate and infiltrate into soft tissue to form an inflammatory giant-cell foreign-body reaction, a so-called Teflon granuloma. We present a rare case report of a patient with two Teflon granulomas of the head and neck, who were first interpreted as a neoplasm.

Objectives/hypothesis: The anatomy of the posterior glottis, specifically the states of the posterior glottis during phonation, has not been thoroughly explored in laryngology. Conventional wisdom about the posterior glottis indicates that it tends to be completely closed in men but may be open in women. Furthermore, professional singers are expected to have a completely closed posterior glottis.

Objective: Predicting the correct singing voice classification based on laryngoscopy is an old myth. The aim of this study was to evaluate if a professional phoniatrician/laryngologist can predict the correct singing voice classification only from laryngoscopy and to analyze different anatomical parameters between professional sopranos and altos to determine whether a multivariate analysis of anatomical parameters can predict the singing register.

Study Design: Prospective study METHODS: We included 49 professional female singers (25 sopranos, 24 altos).

Article Synopsis
  • Nasal surface anesthesia is a non-invasive method for numbing that might effectively improve dental procedures, especially for kids after trauma.
  • A pilot study involving 105 patients showed that using the local anesthetic Tenaphin improved anesthesia in the oral tissues, particularly in the anterior region when exposure time was longer.
  • The findings suggest that nasal surface anesthesia could potentially replace or supplement traditional injection methods in the upper jaw, but more research on dosage and exposure time is needed.
