We present a retrospective study, which was performed on a batch of 177 patients diagnosed with maxillary sinusitis, selected from the total number of patients with OMF disorders during 2017-2018. The patients were examined and treated at the Department of Emergency Medicine of the Institute of Emergency Medicine, Chisinau. The article contains statistical data on maxillary sinusitis and the breakdown by age, sex, profession, etiology, addressability, place of life, hospitalization, causal tooth and treatment methods. Results: Out of the total number of 3227 patients with OMF, maxillary sinusitis (5.48%) was established for 177 patients. The majority of the patients 52.54% are from Chisinau. The most affected are the patients aged 31-40 years, constituting 26.56%, the majority being male persons 63.27%. Admission by itself to the medical institution prevailed for 74.01% of the cases by itself, and the medical insurance was presented for 77.97%. Hospitalization of patients ranged from 1-5 days for 55.35%. The frequency of teeth involved in the inflammatory processes of the sinus was 41.78% cases, of which 1st molar prevails with 23.16%, thus being an etiological factor. As a surgical treatment of maxillary sinusitis in the section of oro-maxillo-facial surgery, radical cure is used for 58.75% cases.
Recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis is a benign tumor of the respiratory tract caused by HPV type 6 or 1 infection. It is considered a manageable rather than curable disease due to its high recurrence rates and unpredictable clinical course. The unique molecular characteristics of the virus induce cell proliferation causing airway obstruction. The main symptoms are hoarseness, inspiratory and expiratory screaming, dysphagia. The mechanisms responsible for the variability of clinical course and the persistence of latent HPV infection remain unknown. It is believed that both the adaptive and the innate immune response given by patients with papillomatosis support chronic infection. Patients with laryngeal papillomas are not able to produce an effective HPV-specific T cell response, as shown by an altered CD8 + subgroup and Th1 / Th2 cytokine imbalance with suppression of the Th1 response. There is a genetic association between certain severely disease-type HLA genes and down-regulation of type I HLA genes. Surgical excision, including new methods such as microdebrider and CO2 laser surgery, aims to provide a respiratory tract. and improve the voice, but can also cause serious complications such as airway stenosis. Recent advances in immune system research may provide an improvement in our treatment modalities and prevention strategies in this pathology.
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a clinical entity lacking consensual meaning, illustrating a rare nose surgery complication, particularly of nasal conchae surgery, which results in the destruction of the normal nasal tissue. In severe forms it may become debilitating; the inability in identification and appreciation of this syndrome turns detrimental to the patient. Physiopathology remains controversial, which probably implies disorders caused by excessive nasal permeability, affecting neurosensory receptors as well as the humidification functions and conditioning of inhaled air. Neuropsychological involvement is being suspected. Symptomatology is both variable and changeable, the most evident sign outlining paradoxical nasal obstruction. The diagnosis is based on a series of symptoms that need to be collected precisely, the objective examination that highlights the permeability of nasal fossae. The management is problematic; there are implemented a complete range of simple hygiene and humidification techniques of the nasal cavity and, for more severe cases, surgery is provided, regardless of technique, the surgery targeting partial filling of the nasal airways. Prevention is the most essential strategy along with basic conservative surgical techniques.
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.
