Spinal metastases from gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are rare and as a result there are only case reports or small series in the literature. The aim of our work was to identify the demographic aspects, the location, and the histopathological aspects of spinal metastases from GI cancers diagnosed and treated in a reference Hospital in Romania over a period of nine years, and comparing the data obtained with those from the recent literature. This is a retrospective case series study on spinal metastases from GI cancers, developed in patients older than 18 years that were surgically treated between January 2013 and December 2021 within three Neurosurgery Clinics from Prof.

The masseteric region is considered by the most researchers as a subdivision of the parotideomasseteric region. Because of its surgical significance, we emphasize it has distinctive morphofunctional features. The aim of this manuscript is to highlight particular characteristics of the masseteric region and practical applications of this concept.

The almost constant local regional development of the cancers of upper aero digestive organs requires the same special attention to cervical lymph node metastases, as well as to the primary neoplastic burning point. The surgical therapy alone or associated has a mutilating, damaging character, resulting in loss of an organ and function, most of the times with social implications, involving physical distortions with aesthetic consequences, which make the reintegration of the individual into society questionable. The problem of cervical lymph node metastases is vast and complex, reason why we approached several anatomical and physiological aspects of lymph vessels of the aero digestive organs.

Unlabelled: Difficult intubation is a serious challenge for emergency doctors and anesthesiologists.

Aim: This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of imaging methods combined with clinical anatomic data in predicting difficult intubation by developing a score as thorough and easy to use as possible.

DISH (Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis) of cervical spine is a rare condition which causes dysphagia in 23% of cases and occasionally dyspnea. The authors report the case of a 74 years old male, known with progressive dysphagia and recurrent episodes of dysphonia and dyspnea, who suffered a sudden episode of respiratory distress that need finaly tracheotomy after ineffective attempts of orotracheal intubation.

Continue development of endoscopic techniques of rinosinusal approach involves knowledge about the anatomy of this region, with a three-dimensional orientation before surgery, a therapeutic plan well thought, anticipating the gesture controller, taking into account the particularities of each case. Endoscopic surgical anatomic variants parts at this level can be well identified by imaging methods (CT, MRI). CT study of patients who are candidates for surgery Fess is on top, as the technique of choice.

The present paper provides a general morphofunctional study of the oro-maxillary-facial cephalic arterial area that shows some particular hemodynamic characteristics. The internal maxillary artery supplies a very large territory, with numerous and wide anastomoses. In order to understand the hemodynamic characteristics of this artery, we analyzed some older theories, such as: Ludwig von Bertalanffy's General Systems Theory, Walter Zimmermann's Telome Theory, and some general rheological principles also.
