This paper presents principles of otorhinolaryngological mass-scale examination of industrial workers exposed to noise and dust. They require not only early detection of pathologies of the hearing organ and upper airways but also assessment of the health status of each person and identification of groups at risk. Dynamic observation over healthy and sick subjects as well as proper application of prophylactic and therapeutic measures helps maintain good health and high performance of industrial workers.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer with alarmingly high morbidity. The cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a pivotal role in tumor development, while their specific mechanisms in OSCC remains largely unclear. Our object is to explore a CAFs-related biomarker in OSCC.

Background: The primary goal of perioperative antibiotics is to reduce the rate of surgical site infections (SSI); however, in certain surgical procedures, the use of perioperative antibiotics has been shown to have no impact on the rate of SSI. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials increases cost, potential side effects and further promotes antibiotic resistance. This study aims to provide insight into the adherence of South African otorhinolaryngologists to available evidence-based international guidelines.

Scuba diving and other modes of device-supported diving are popular activities that can be especially demanding and hazardous for people with preexisting physical conditions. Due to the high ambient pressure, the temperature differences, and potential unpredictable events, which have manifold effects on the organism, diving carries a high risk of life-threatening disease. A special risk is present if the body does not readily equalize air pressure changes.

Penetrating carotid artery traumas are rare yet fatal injuries with a high rate of mortality, and survivors may live with neurological sequelae. Of all the types of penetrating carotid artery traumas, the total transection of the common carotid artery (CCA) may be the most serious, can lead to death quickly, and has few reports of survivors. We described two cases of patients with complete CCA transections who survived without any neurological sequelae.

Traumatic brain injury can result in frontobasal fractures (FBF). The goals of treatment for FBF are to eliminate primary morbidity and/or prevent secondary morbidity. Of particular importance in this regard is the proximity of important sensory organs for hearing, vision, smell, and taste, as well as their supplying nervous structures.
