Article Synopsis
- Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) account for 6-8% of head and neck tumors and are diagnosed using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), which has variable effectiveness.
- This study aimed to analyze FNAC results in relation to surgical outcomes to determine its diagnostic accuracy for SGTs using the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC).
- The results showed high sensitivity for identifying benign tumors and high specificity for malignant ones, although FNAC's ability to distinguish between benign and malignant cases was lower, indicating the need for thorough clinical assessments.
Background And Objective: The care of tracheostomized patients are high risk skills and low incidence. Strategies for improvement of health care in hospital wards and specialties other than otolaryngology based solely on training have not been able to offer an adequate solution. A tracheostomized patient unit is presented directed by the otolaryngology service to attend all tracheostomized hospitalised patients of all specialties.

Three anti-IL-5 mAb: mepolizumab, reslizumab and benralizumab, have been tested through randomized clinical trials. In this real-life study, we aimed to describe the nasal effects of a cohort of asthmatic adults treated with anti-IL-5 mAb.
