RESUMEN

Ophthalmic examinations of developmentally delayed/autistic children are challenging. Oral midazolam may be a viable alternative to general anaesthesia for this indication. Single-centre retrospective cohort study (January 2018-March 2020). Oral midazolam (0.5 mg/kg, max 15 mg). Metrics included: patient demographics, examination completion rate, duration of stay and adverse events. 50 oral midazolam examinations were performed (45 patients). Mean age was 79.12 months. All had developmental delay (66.67% autism). Time to ophthalmic examination was 60.31 minutes. Eye examination was successfully completed in 98%. No adverse events were reported. Mean stay was 3.35 hours. Oral midazolam (0.5 mg/kg, max 15 mg) is associated with safe, successful completion of ophthalmic examinations in children previously unexaminable in clinic.

RESUMEN

AIMS: An international survey was conducted to explore the professional and regional spread of "young" otolaryngologists, their society membership and networking preferences, with relevance to global health and future initiatives. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Otolaryngologists under the age of 45 years who had attended the 2017 International Federation of Otorhinolaryngological Societies (IFOS) meeting were invited by e-mail to participate in an online survey. Basic demographic data and information regarding career geography and networking preferences was requested. RESULTS: A total of 928 responses (including 635 certified otolaryngologists and 268 trainees) were received from 2787 individuals invited to complete the survey. The overall response rate was 33.3%. Most otolaryngologists were based in an academic hospital. The spread of respondents likely reflects the European location of the meeting from which participants were identified; 61.2% of all respondents were based in Europe. International movement between career stages was evident. The principal preferred networking methods involved face-to-face contact whilst social media use was the method of choice for 13%. CONCLUSION: This survey offers a present-day snapshot and is hoped to serve as a platform for further work. Little is known on a global scale regarding the professional behaviours and networking preferences of otolaryngologists. A greater understanding will facilitate not only education and research but also enable networking and global health work.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: A variety of paediatric tracheostomy tubes are available. This article reviews the tubes in current use at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and Evelina London Children's Hospital. METHODS: This paper outlines our current preferences, and the particular indications for different tracheostomy tubes, speaking valves and other attachments. RESULTS: Our preferred types of tubes have undergone significant design changes. This paper also reports further experience with certain tubes that may be useful in particular circumstances. An updated sizing chart is included for reference purposes. CONCLUSION: The choice of a paediatric tracheostomy tube remains largely determined by individual clinical requirements. Although we still favour a small range of tubes for use in the majority of our patients, there are circumstances in which other varieties are indicated.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The optimal management of glottic carcinoma involving the anterior commissure is controversial. METHOD: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 76 patients with glottic squamous cell carcinoma treated by transoral carbon dioxide laser resection by a single surgeon. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients (with tumour stage Tis-T3) were eligible for inclusion. Thirty patients had involvement of the anterior commissure; these patients were significantly more likely to have either uncertain or positive margins (63.3 vs 30.3 per cent, p = 0.012), and were also more likely to receive adjuvant radiotherapy (40 vs 3.2 per cent, p = 0.0005). The overall laryngeal preservation rate was 96.8 per cent; there was no statistically significant difference between those with and without anterior commissure involvement (96.7 and 96.9 per cent respectively). CONCLUSION: Transoral laser resection with the use of adjuvant radiotherapy in a minority of patients with adverse pathological findings can be recommended for the primary treatment of anterior commissure glottic cancer from an oncological perspective; excellent local control and laryngeal preservation rates can be achieved.

RESUMEN

We present a case of both unusual pathology and severity - giant maxillary gingival fibromatosis - and discuss the disease and its management, accompanied by clinical imaging. This represents an overlap between maxillofacial and oral surgery, and may present as demonstrated in this case.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Unilateral vocal fold paresis may significantly impair the vocal quality and laryngeal competence of a child. Relatively little literature relates to injection medialisation laryngoplasty (IML) in children and previous reports have involved small numbers of heterogenous cases. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of paediatric patients managed by our multidisciplinary specialist voice clinic undergoing IML for unilateral vocal fold paresis. Cases of bilateral paresis, those characterised by vocal fold fixation, and patients without formal pre and post-operative voice evaluation were excluded. RESULTS: Eighteen IML procedures were performed in 12 children eligible for inclusion between 2005 and 2015. The average age at time of procedure was 12 years (range 9-15 years). Autologous fat was used in 5 procedures, succeeded by calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse® Voice) from 2011 (n = 13). A significant improvement in median GRBAS score components was observed after calcium hydroxylapatite injection in terms of grade (p = 0.008), breathiness (p = 0.002) and aesthenia (p = 0.016). A pre- and post-procedural Voice Handicap Index was self-completed by 6 patients receiving calcium hydroxylapatite injection; the median change in score was an improvement of 19 points (interquartile range 36.5). CONCLUSION: We describe the outcomes of a comparatively large paediatric series and have found IML using calcium hydroxylapatite to be a reliable technique associated with improved subjective outcome measures. Management of UVCP in the child is a challenge with particular investigative and interventional considerations. Further study supported by high quality subjective and, where possible, objective outcome measures, is required to better inform patient selection, timing of intervention and choice of injection material.

RESUMEN

Intramedullary tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (IMTCA) is an increasingly used procedure for salvage of complex hindfoot and ankle disorders. To avoid injury to vital plantar neurovascular structures, it is important to begin with an appropriate insertion site during retrograde IMTCA. We use a simple, reproducible method to determine this site based on anatomic landmarks.

RESUMEN

Dislocations of lesser metatarsophalangeal joints are rare and are almost always dorsal hyperextension injuries. The patient reported sustained plantar dislocations of the second and third metatarsophalangeal joints in a motor vehicle accident; the mechanism of injury was hyperflexion. Closed reduction was not possible, and at the time of open reduction, the extensor digitorum longus and brevis tendons to the third toe were trapped beneath the plantar aspect of the third metatarsal head. Once the tendons were retracted dorsomedially, the joint was easily reduced. Fixation with a Kirschner wire was necessary because of joint instability.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: For temporomandibular disorders, the clinical situation is one of considerable etiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic uncertainty. Using interview data, this report describes this condition and the search for care from the perspective of sufferers who are support-group members. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Thirty-two individuals participated; all were members of a support group for individuals with long-term problems attributed to the temporomandibular joints and/or the surrounding masticatory muscles. Using a structured, open-ended interview format, this study investigated how individuals understand and give meaning to their symptoms, their patterns of care seeking, and the consequences of the illness on their lives. The participants also completed several structured questionnaires. RESULTS: For these support-group members, symptoms extended beyond the jaw and surrounding area, with extensive musculoskeletal involvement and resulting dysfunctions that have far-reaching consequences for the sufferers' lives. Primary care physicians are often consulted, especially early in the illness history. They also provide ongoing care and are asked for guidance when patients seek specialized treatment. A striking aspect of the findings from the interviews is the complex and costly pattern of health care seeking. This extended search for effective treatment is examined with reference to culturally based understanding, shared by patients and clinicians, about the nature of illness.

RESUMEN

The effects of monensin on plasma concentrations and changes in plasma concentrations of energy metabolites and minerals over time were investigated using 24 multiparous Holstein cows. Cows were paired according to farm, predicted date of calving, and body condition score and were randomly allocated to two groups. Treated cows were given a ruminal bolus containing 32 g of monensin at 50 +/- 7 d before predicted calving. Treated cows had lower plasma concentrations of glucose, free fatty acid (FFA), and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) than did control cows before calving, indicating that monensin influenced energy metabolism. However, no significant differences in plasma concentrations of glucose, FFA, and BHBA were found between groups after calving. Plasma BHBA concentrations increased more before calving in control cows, and plasma FFA and urea concentrations increased significantly before calving in all cows. No significant differences in body weight, plasma concentrations of urea, or whole blood concentrations of glutathione peroxidase were detected between groups before or after calving. Plasma ceruloplasmin activity did not differ between groups before calving, but was significantly higher in treated cows after calving. Plasma concentrations of Ca did not significantly differ between groups before or after calving. Monensin altered both energy and mineral metabolism and has the potential to improve the health and production of dairy cows.
