Article Synopsis
  • Tracheal resection anastomosis is the standard surgery for high-grade postintubation subglottic stenosis, and this study compares the effects of two laryngeal release techniques on postoperative swallowing outcomes.
  • The study involved 71 patients, split into two groups based on the type of infrahyoid laryngeal release: mini infrahyoid release (no fracture of the thyroid horn) and full infrahyoid release (with fracture).
  • Results showed that group A (mini release) had significantly better swallowing outcomes post-surgery than group B (full release), as evidenced by higher GUSS scores and improved assessments in the month following surgery.

In this study, novel morpholinopyrimidine-5-carbonitriles were designed and synthesized as dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors and apoptosis inducers. The integration of a heterocycle at position 2, with or without spacers, of the new key intermediate 2-hydrazinyl-6-morpholinopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (5) yielded compounds 6-10, 11a-c and 12a-h. The National Cancer Institute (USA) tested all compounds for antiproliferative activity.
