Evaluation for language and speech development in Kabuki make-up syndrome: a case report.

Kabuki make-up syndrome (KMS) is defined as a rare syndrome with mental retardation, growth deficiency and multiple anomalies of unknown cause. Cases have a characteristic facial appearance of broad and low auricles, wide forehead, broad and flattened nose root. In this article, 4-year, 10-month-old boy with speech delay reported due to characteristics of the facial appearance is considered as KMS, a rare syndrome.

Evaluation of the effect of dexamethasone in experimentally induced endolymphatic hydrops in guinea pigs.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the audiological and histopathologic effects of dexamethasone in the treatment of experimentally induced endolymphatic hydrops.

Materials And Methods: Thirty mature, male guinea pigs weighing 400 +/- 50 g were operated on to induce experimental endolymphatic hydrops in their right ear. Left ear served as control.

Laryngeal carcinoma and estrogen receptor analysis in patients after long-term follow-up.

Limitations in determining the progress and treatment of malignant diseases have prompted the investigation of new factors. Many molecules including estrogen receptors have been studied in an effort to understand the biological behavior of a tumor. To determine the effect of estrogen on laryngeal malignant cells, we analyzed the clinical findings of patients during long-term follow-up and compared these with the expression of estrogen receptors (ER).

Prognostic significance of depth of invasion in cancer of the larynx.

To determine the prognostic significance of depth of invasion in laryngeal cancer, the depth of invasion of tumor was measured with an ocular micrometer on the laryngectomy specimens of 94 surgically treated patients with T1, T2, and T3 laryngeal cancer and was expressed in millimeters. There was a significant negative correlation between the depth of invasion and disease-free survival. The tumors with no clinical involvement of regional lymph nodes in neck (NO neck) had significantly less depth of invasion than those with involvement (N+ neck).
