The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in airflow characteristics before and after septoplasty in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. The study was designed as a prospective cohort study involving pre- and postoperative computed tomography data from 12 UCLP patients with a deviated nasal septum who underwent septoplasty. CFD analysis of nasal airflow was conducted to study changes in velocity, pressure, volume, nasal resistance,...

The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of body mass index (BMI), both low and high values, on the perioperative complication rate in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The medical records of 259 patients operated between 2014 and 2017 for OSCC were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Sixty of the 259 patients developed 87 complications. Low or high BMI was not associated with the perioperative complication rate. A longer operating time and increased...

The rapid global spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has dominated healthcare services, with exponential numbers requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Tracheostomy facilitates respiratory and sedative weaning but risks potential viral transmission. This study reviewed the tracheostomy provision, techniques, and outcomes for a single-centre prospective cohort during the resource-pressured COVID-19 period. Seventy-two of 176 patients underwent tracheostomy...

The British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists (BAHNO) hosts an annual meeting at which research from all specialties involved in the management of head and neck oncology is presented. We have analysed the rate of publication of the abstracts presented, and reviewed the finalised programmes from the meetings between 2009 and 2015. The 2014 meeting was excluded as it was a combined international meeting. Key terms were searched in PubMed and Google Scholar to identify publications in peer-reviewed...

Patients with extensive face and neck burns may suffer airway burns and need mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Traditionally, adhesive fabric tape on the facial skin has been used for fixation and to secure the endotracheal tube, but such fixation is inadequate for patients with facial and neck burns because of skin damage.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to clarify the immune mechanism of hepatic injury induced by periodontitis using a rat model. Methods Twenty‐four SPF male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control group (CG) and periodontitis group (PG). In order to induce experimental periodontitis, we tied the wire ligature around bilateral maxillary first molar of rats. After 8 weeks, the following indicators were valued: gingival index, tooth mobility, probing pocket depth;...
