Background: To prevent cross-contamination between patients, adequate reprocessing is necessary when using flexible endoscopes (FEs) without a working channel. The current reprocessing process using an Endoscope Washer Disinfector (EWD) is time-consuming. Ultraviolet light group C (UV-C) exposition is an alternative and fast disinfection method and has previously been shown to adequately reduce Colony Forming Units (CFUs) on FEs without a working channel.

Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses how symptoms of acute upper airway obstruction and dysphagia can suggest serious conditions like laryngeal cancer, but it also highlights a rare condition called diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) that can mimic these symptoms.
  • - The case study includes two elderly males who experienced serious swallowing issues and airway obstructions due to large bone growths (osteophytes) in their neck areas.
  • - The conclusion emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider DISH when diagnosing similar symptoms, as early identification can lead to effective treatment and improved patient outcomes, avoiding more drastic interventions.

The aim is to eradicate nodal metastases that are not detectable by pretreatment imaging techniques. It is conceivable that personalized neck irradiation can be performed guided by the results of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).
