A non-invasive AI-based system for precise grading of anosmia in COVID-19 using neuroimaging.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus), an acute respiratory disorder, is caused by SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome). The high prevalence of COVID-19 infection has drawn attention to a frequent illness symptom: olfactory and gustatory dysfunction. The primary purpose of this manuscript is to create a Computer-Assisted Diagnostic (CAD) system to determine whether a COVID-19 patient has normal, mild, or severe anosmia.

Stapler versus conventional pharyngeal repair after total laryngectomy: a randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of stapler pharyngeal closure after total laryngectomy by the incidence of PCT and assessment of swallowing after surgery. In addition, the study aimed to evaluate the oncological outcomes in terms of patients' survival rates.

Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 58 patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma who underwent total laryngectomy.

Clinical and Imaging Evaluation of COVID-19-Related Olfactory Dysfunction.

Background: Olfactory dysfunction has been reported in 47.85% of COVID patients. It can be broadly categorized into conductive or sensorineural olfactory loss.

Nasal Spine of the Frontal Bone: A Consistent Landmark for Safe Outside-In Frontal Drill-Out.

Background: Outside-in frontal drill out entails drilling the frontal sinus floor in the midline before identifying and dissecting the frontal recesses. It is a more direct approach, especially in revision surgery or cases with challenging anatomy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to highlight the anatomical and surgical concepts for easy and safe outside-in frontal drill out by a preclinical anatomic study on cadaveric heads.

MR imaging of Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer.

MR imaging is the modality of choice in the evaluation of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer. Routine postcontrast MR imaging is important for the accurate localization and characterization of the locoregional extension of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. The anatomy of the oral cavity and oropharynx is complex; accurate interpretation is vital for description of the extension of the masses.

Challenging tracheal resection anastomosis: Case series.

Objectives: This study was conducted to review our experience in Otorhinolaryngology Department, Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt, in the last 2 years in the management of high-risk patients who underwent cricotracheal resection due to different pathologies.

Methods: This case series included nine patients with severe, grade III or IV subglottic / cervical tracheal stenosis. These patients were considered high risk patients due to unusual pathology / etiology of stenosis or associated surgical field morbidity.

Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma Staging with a Novel Nominal Basis: An 18-Year Study in a Tertiary Center.

Objective: To develop a systematic method for anatomic mapping of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) tumors to standardize communication, facilitate surgical planning, and convey prognosis.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Surgical management of suprastomal tracheal collapse in children.

Objective: Suprastomal collapse is a complication of pediatric tracheotomy with a potential impact on decannulation success. The aim of this study was to review the experience in the management of pediatric suprastomal collapse in a tertiary-care center, detailing the surgical technique employed.

Methods: This study included 12 tracheotomised children with the diagnosis of suprastomal collapse in the last 5 years.

Midline nasofrontal dermoids in children: A review of 29 cases managed at Mansoura University Hospitals.

Objectives: Nasal dermoids are congenital anomalies constituting 3.7-12.6% of dermoids in the head and neck.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with intracranial extension: analysis of 23 Egyptian patients.

The purpose of this study was to present our experience with definitive surgical management of patients with Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with intracranial extension. The study included 23 male adolescents with histologically proven juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. The mean age was 14.

Nasal mucosal contact points with facial pain and/or headache: lidocaine can predict the result of localized endoscopic resection.

The objective of the study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of nasal endoscopy for both diagnosis and localized excision of intranasal contact areas that cause headache and/or facial pain as well as to evaluate the use of lidocaine test for diagnosis of such cases and predicting the result of surgery. This study included 120 patients aged between 18 and 45 years, with an average period of headache and/or facial pain of 2.5 years.
