Objectives: The objectives of this prospective case-control study were to study the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in tonsillectomy specimens from pediatric patients without recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), and to study methods of HPV detection.
Methods: Fifty pediatric patients without known RRP undergoing tonsillectomy for hypertrophy or recurrent tonsillitis were enrolled in the study. After tonsillectomy, a 20-mg section was subjected to DNA extraction, and DNA content and purity were confirmed with spectrophotometry.
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of endoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy in a porcine model.
Methods: One hundred microcuries of technetium-labeled sulfa colloid (Tc-SC) was injected into the right and left ventrolateral surfaces of the oral tongue of six adult Yorkshire pigs. A handheld gamma probe was used to locate the region of focal radioactivity on the neck that corresponded to the sentinel lymph node (SLN).
