Successful management of unilateral nasal vestibular stenosis caused by trauma: A case report.

Introduction: Nasal vestibular stenosis is a rare trauma-related nasal congestion.

Presentation Of Case: A 52-year-old man complained of right nasal obstruction for 2 weeks caused by hot metal fragments from a gas cylinder explosion 7 weeks before. The patient was diagnosed with right nasal vestibular stenosis due to nasal trauma based on physical examination and CT scan.

A surgical partial excision for the treatment of lingual ectopic thyroid: a case report.

The lingual ectopic thyroid is a sporadic case. Based on the medical records of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, they only found one case of ectopic thyroid at least in the last ten years.

N-Cadherin Expression with Metastasis of Neck Lymph Nodes in Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Background: Lymph node (LN) metastases were one characteristic of negative progress of NPC patient despite its advanced therapeutic approaches. One mechanism for the occurrence of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-mediated metastases is by increasing N-cadherin expression. The purpose of this research is to determine investigating N-cadherin expression against metastatic LN in NPC cases.

Conformity between modified Swallowing Outcome After Laryngectomy questionnaire and Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing in laryngeal carcinoma patients after total laryngectomy.

Background: One of the impacts in anatomic laryngeal and phariyngeal changes after total laryngectomy (TL) is oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD). The detection of neopharyngeal residue as a sign of OPD can be performed by videofluoroscopy (VFS) and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). The availability of these tools in rural areas is still limited, thus the treatment of OPD is not maximal.

Correlation between CD44+ cancer stem cell expression and histopathological types of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) recurrency rate is still high despite patients receiving complete treatment. The response to treatment may vary depending on the type of histopathology and Epstein-Barr virus, however the mechanism remains unclear. Recent studies have found that there is a relationship between response to treatment and the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression and Status of Cervical Lymph Nodes in Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Tumor growth and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients was suspected as a role of several molecular biomarkers that have been identified in tumor specimens of patients with NPC. Invasion and metastasis process was a complex mechanism which involved some proteolytic enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). To analyze the association of MMP-9 expression of NPC patients with cervical lymph node metastasis.

Correlation Between β-Catenin Expression and Staging in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant disease derived from nasopharyngeal epithelial cells that have a higher tendency for invasion and metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes than other head-neck malignancies. NPC patients with the same stages often show different progressions and prognoses. This suggests that clinical stages are not sufficient to predict progressivity, so biomarkers are required to provide better progression predictions.

Association of Protein Expression p53 Mutants with Regional Lymph Gland Status on type III Carcinoma Nasofaring Patients.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant disease originating from the nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. The molecular mechanism of cancer occurrence is a change in the oncogene and tumor suppressor genes. One of the tumor suppressor genes that mutate in cancer cells is the mutant p53 gene.
