  • The study looked at how well two types of scans (F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/MRI and MRI) can detect if rectal cancer has come back in patients.
  • Four groups of medical experts reviewed the scans and scored how likely it was that the cancer had returned.
  • Both scans worked well, but the PET/MRI helped doctors feel more sure about their findings and showed fewer unclear cases compared to MRI.

Non treated Eustachian tube dysfunction can result in chronic middle ear diseases, which have been shown to significantly affect taste sensitivity. A promising treatment is balloon dilatation of the Eustachian tube.

Feasibility and safety of dilatational tracheotomy using the rigid endoscope: a multicenter study.

BMC Anesthesiol

January 2017

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Dresden Friedrichstadt Hospital, Dresden University Teaching Hospital, Dresden, Germany.

Background: Fiberoptic tracheo-bronchoscopy is the most commonly used procedure for percutaneous dilational tracheotomy (PDT). However, PDT can be associated with major complications, including death. Furthermore it is unclear, whether the tracheal ring fractures may contribute to the development of tracheal stenosis after PDT nor whether tracheal ring fractures can be prevented by using a rigid endoscope for this procedure.
