The authors studied imprints of tonsillar sections stained both by the method of Pappeneheim and that of Stockinger and Kellner taken from 205 patients with chronic non-complicated tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis with tonsillocardiac syndrome and chronic tonsillitis with rheumatism, the rheumatic process being of various stages of activity. A comparison of the preparations received shows that the organism's immunologic reformation resulting from the rheumatic process is characterised by growing reticulolymphoblastic, plasmocellular and macrophage reactions and vivification of sinuslymphocytopoiesis which proved to be in strict correlation with the extent of rheumatic activity.

Background: Exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which results from prolonged glucocorticoid treatment, is associated with metabolic abnormalities. Previously, we reported the inhibitory effect of tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (T-MSC CM) on glucocorticoid signal transduction. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of T-MSCs in a mouse model of exogenous Cushing's syndrome.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin, often associated with an increased risk of cancer. Specific autoantibodies, including anti-TIF1 (Transcription Intermediary Factor 1), have been linked to this risk. We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.

Background: Chronic lingual tonsillitis (CLT) entails persistent inflammation of the lingual tonsils (LT), presenting in recurrent infections, throat discomfort, dyspnea, dysphagia, and LT hypertrophy.
Methods: A retrospective observational study at a nonacademic general hospital described outcomes of CLT patients undergoing base of tongue (BOT) reduction via transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Primary outcomes were changes in patient-reported quality of swallowing and life and were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months post-TORS.

Purpose: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most prevalent genetic autoinflammatory disease worldwide. There are several novel advancements in pathophysiology, genetic testing, diagnosis, comorbidities, disease-related damage, and treatment strategies. This study aimed to assess the effect of tonsillectomy on FMF disease severity and activity.

Objective: This study aims to explore the clinical effects of simultaneous balloon eustachian tuboplasty (BET) in treating chronic secretory otitis media (COME) in children with bilateral tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy (TAH), providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application of BET.
Methods: From January 2023 to January 2024, 30 children diagnosed with COME and bilateral TAH were included in this retrospective study at our hospital. The cohort comprised a total of 55 affected ears.
