Chronic Cough Related to Thyroid Cartilage Superior Cornu Abnormality.
Ear Nose Throat J
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic cough is a frequent issue seen in patients seeking help from otolaryngology specialists, but it can sometimes be linked to rare anatomical problems.
- - A case study is presented about a 64-year-old woman whose chronic cough was caused by a curved superior cornu of the thyroid cartilage, irritating a nearby nerve.
- - After surgically removing the abnormal cartilage, the patient's cough improved and did not return after 9 months, suggesting that examining the laryngeal structure might uncover treatable causes of chronic cough.
Bufalin, a cardiotonic steroid derived from the Chinese toad (Bufo gargarizans), has demonstrated potent anticancer properties across various cancer types, positioning it as a promising therapeutic candidate. However, comprehensive mechanistic studies specific to head and neck cancers have been lacking. Our study aimed to bridge this gap by investigating bufalin's mechanisms of action in head and neck cancer cells.
