The evaluation of granulocytes function (PMNL) at patients with chronic hypertrophy of larynx and paranasal sinuses. There were 40 people examined and divided into: 10 patients with hypertrophy of larynx, 13 patients with hypertrophy of paranasal sinuses and 17 healthy people. There were evaluated: emission of chemiluminescence (CL), absorption of isotope (phagocytic index) in our modification migration in vivo and in vitro and the bacteriotoxic index. The function of granulocytes in patients with hypertrophy of larynx and paranasal sinuses were changed more in comparison with the healthy people.

Objective: Laryngomalacia is the most common pediatric laryngeal anomaly. The pathophysiology of laryngomalacia is not well defined; the leading hypothesis suggests weak laryngeal tone and neuromuscular discoordination. Only a few studies explored the histopathology of the laryngeal submucosal nerves, with reported nerve hypertrophy.

Pediatric patients with persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after adenotonsillectomy often have additional sites of upper airway obstruction such as the tongue base or larynx. Sleep endoscopy and cross-sectional, dynamic imaging can be used to direct the surgical management of persistent OSA. The tongue base is one of the most common sites of obstruction in children with persistent OSA, especially for patients with Trisomy 21.

Article Synopsis
  • The research aimed to evaluate solithromycin's effectiveness, safety, and ability to penetrate tissues in treating ear, nose, and throat infections through three distinct studies.
  • The tissue penetration study involved 17 patients who received solithromycin before tissue removal, while the open-label study included 55 patients with various infections and assessed clinical responses post-treatment.
  • The non-inferiority study compared solithromycin to high-dose cefcapene-pivoxil in 283 patients with acute rhinosinusitis, focusing on clinical outcomes after treatment.
