Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica - A Case Series.

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica (ABH) is an oral subepithelial blood blister with poorly understood etiopathogenesis, which is not attributable to blood dyscrasias or vesiculobullous disorders. These hemorrhagic bullae spontaneously rupture within minutes to hours, resulting in ragged, often painless, superficial erosions that heal spontaneously within 1 week without scarring. The lesions are usually solitary, and sometimes cause extreme anxiety in patients.

Reticular Oral Lichen Planus: A Clinical Experience of ENT Surgeons.

Reticular Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune disease that presents as fine, white, linear and lace like lesions of the oral cavity referred to as Wickham striae. The clinical characteristics of 30 patients with reticular oral lichen planus is presented so that cases are not missed/misdiagnosed by ENT surgeons. The clinical records noted for each patient were gender, age and clinical presentation of reticular OLP (site affected, presence of symptoms and extraoral manifestations of the disease, smoking habit, and consumption of alcoholic beverages).

Our Experience with Kashimas Procedure for Bilateral Abductor Vocal Cord Palsy.

Introduction: Kashima operation, also known as endoscopic laser cordotomy is used for the treatment of bilateral abductor vocal cord palsy where the glottis chink is made posteriorly, sufficient enough for patient to breathe comfortably without any strider.

Materials And Methods: This Clinical Trial Was Performed On 12 Patients with Bilateral Abductor Vocal Cord Paralysis. All Patients Underwent Kashimas Procedure and Post-Operative Voice, Respiratory and Deglutition Function Were Evaluated.

Revisiting the flocculation kinetics of destabilized asphaltenes.

A comprehensive review of the recently published work on asphaltene destabilization and flocculation kinetics is presented. Four different experimental techniques were used to study asphaltenes undergoing flocculation process in crude oils and model oils. The asphaltenes were destabilized by different n-alkanes and a geometric population balance with the Smoluchowski collision kernel was used to model the asphaltene aggregation process.
