Soft tissue damages after radiotherapy are an uncommon but serious complication. Late damage after radiation is the principal dose-limiting factor in radiation therapy today and is dependent on vascular pathology as a result of radiation. Pentoxifylline is a methylxanthine derivative that produces dose-related improvement in blood flow, lower blood viscosity, improved erythrocyte flexibility, and increased tissue oxygen levels.

As soon as the use of streptomycin was started for the treatment of tuberculosis, its ototoxic effect was discovered. Initial reports demonstrated that streptomycin was successful in reducing vestibular responses while preserving cochlear activity. Streptomycin sulfate has been used for almost half a century for the treatment of vertigo in patients with Meniere's disease.

Early oral feeding after total laryngectomy.

Ear Nose Throat J

January 1995

Ankara Numune Hospital, 2nd. ENT Clinic, Turkey.

Following total laryngectomy, 110 patients were orally fed on the first/second postoperative day without using a nasogastric (NG) tube. Pharyngo-cutaneous fistula was observed in 23 patients (21%) only nine of which (8%) needed surgical intervention to close the fistula. Early postoperative oral feeding of laryngectomized patients does not increase the fistula rate but decreases postoperative hospitalization time and eliminates the disadvantages of the NG tube.

The relationship between temporal bone pneumatization and the location of the lateral sinus and length of the mastoid process was investigated in 60 fresh frozen adult temporal bones, by plain X-rays, computed tomography and surgical dissection including otomicroscopic findings. Temporal bone pneumatization was classified as small, moderate and large. After drilling, the shortest distances between the middle fossa dura and mastoid tip representing the mastoid length and between the sigmoid sinus and posterior border of external auditory canal were measured and compared to the degree of pneumatization.

Bilateral recurrent nerve palsies were induced in four sheep and unilateral nerve palsy in one sheep. Vocal cord abductions were achieved by direct electrical stimulation of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles (PCMs). By means of the diaphragmatic myogram, respiratory synchronous activation of the glottis opening musculature was shown possible.

Electromyograms (EMG) of the PCM and the diaphragm were evaluated in 6 sedated female sheep. Corresponding pneumatograms were recorded simultaneously by means of thermocontrolled respiration flowmeter. Evidence was obtained on considerable intra- and inter-individual differences in the duration of respiratory cycles as well as PCM- and diaphragmatic activity.

In a macroscopical study the dimensions of the adult laryngeal skeleton of man and sheep were compared. In both species the data for male and female were evaluated separately. In contrast to pronounced differences in size between male and female human larynges, the dimensions of both sexes in sheep proved to be very similar.
