Ota S, Miyamoto S, Kudoh F, Horie H, Kinugawa N, Okimoto Y. Treatment for B‐cell‐type lymphoma in a girl associated with Bloom's syndrome. Clin Genet 1992:41:46–50.
A 12‐year‐old girl suffering from Bloom's syndrome developed B‐cell‐type lymphoma in the epipharynx. She was identified as having Bloom's syndrome at the age of 3.
While the tumor was eradicated completely by induction chemotherapy, the bone marrow suppression was severe and persistent. For this reason, we modified subsequent chemotherapy to a milder form. Thus the remaining therapy could be safely completed. This is the first case clearly diagnosed as having epipharyngeal B‐cell‐type lymphoma in the Bloom's Syndrome Registry.
Eleven severely handicapped young patients with recurrent aspiration pneumonia were treated with the glottic closure procedure.Their diseases were hypoxic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, mitochondrial myopathies and after effects of Reye's syndrome. Glottic closure was successful in treating all of these patients.The incidence of recurring pneumonia and the suction frequency remarkably decreased.Home nursing requirements also decreased and the quality of the life of the patients and home nurses improved.It was concluded that this procedure was effective and posed little risk for the treatment of aspiration in severely handicapped young patients.
During the period from 1980 to 1984, 50 cases (98 ears) of psychogenic deafness in children have been examined at the hearing clinic of the Department of Otolaryngology. All were school children aged from 6 to 15 years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
