Abstract:

Introduction Foreign body in upper aero-digestive tract leads to many complications including life-threatening ones to the patients. Its management depends upon type of foreign body and site of lodgement. Materials and Methods A descriptive study was conducted from March 2013 to February 2017 to determine the different components of the epidemiological profile of the cases of Foreign body in upper Aero-digestive Tract (UADT) and its management principle. Total 192 patients were selected for this study. These patients underwent different procedures for foreign body removal and post-operative notes were taken for data analysis to note the epidemiological pattern. Results A total of 192 patients were included in the study. Epidemiological data were derived and analyzed comprehensively to present the different profiles. Conclusion Fish bone was found to be the commonest foreign body in upper aero-digestive tract, followed by coin and meat bone. Foreign bodies are commonly removed by Tilley's forceps followed by Hypopharyngoscopy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Limited data are available that summarize the relation between egg intake and the risk of upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) cancers. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the association between egg intake and the risk of UADT cancers. Medline/PubMed, ISI web of knowledge, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched using relevant keywords. Observational studies conducted on humans investigating the association between egg consumption and the risk of UADT cancers were included. Overall, 38 studies with a total of 164,241 subjects (27, 025 cases) were included. Based on 40 effect sizes from 32 case-control studies, we found a 42% increased risk of UADT cancers among those with the highest egg consumption (ranging from ≥1 meal/d to ≥1 time/mo among studies) compared to those with the lowest intake (ranging from 0–20 g/d to never consumed among studies) (overall OR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.68; P < 0.001). However, this association was only evident in hospital-based case-control (HCC) studies (OR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.34, 1.68; P < 0.001 for ‘oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancer’ and OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.08, 1.50; P = 0.004 for esophageal cancer) and not in population-based case-control (PCC) studies (OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 0.59, 2.67; P = 0.56 for ‘oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancer’ and OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 0.92, 1.81; P = 0.13 for esophageal cancer). In addition, the association was not significant in prospective cohort studies (overall OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.71, 1.04; P = 0.11). Considering individual cancers, a positive association was observed between the highest egg consumption, compared with the lowest, and risk of oropharyngeal (OR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.61, 2.20; P < 0.001), laryngeal (OR: 1.83; 95% CI: 1.45, 2.32; P < 0.001), oral & pharyngeal & laryngeal (OR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.12, 1.67; P < 0.001), and esophageal cancers (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.10,1.48; P = 0.001). We also found an inverse association between egg intake and the risk of oral cancer (OR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.99; P = 0.04). In conclusion, high egg consumption (ranging from ≥1 meal/d to ≥1 time/mo among studies) was associated with increased risk of UADT cancers only in HCC studies but not in PCC or prospective cohort studies.

Abstract:

Candida is a commensal yeast. It can be infective when the host’s defense mechanism is weakened, as in the case of squamous cell carcinoma patients. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical mycological manifestation of candidiasis in 150 cancer cases comprised of preoperative and post-operative (with or without radiotherapy) upper aerodigestive squamous cell carcinoma. A total of 150 patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma of the Upper Aero-Digestive Tract (UADT) were divided into preoperative (n = 48), post-operative without radiotherapy (n = 29) and post-operative with radiotherapy (n = 73). Samples were collected using cotton swabs and cultured. Candida species were identified according to color pigmentation on Candida Differential Agar (CDA) plate. The clinico-mycological association of patients was evaluated by the chi-square test, and 98 out of 150 patients showed the presence of various Candida species. The major species isolated was Candida albicans (53%), followed by Candida tropicalis (16%). There was a significant statistical difference between patients who showed mycological associations and patients who did not have any such association (p = 0.0008). The prevalence of oral candidiasis was found to be 65.33% among total cases of upper aero-digestive squamous cell carcinoma. Chronic erythematous cases of candidiasis were mainly seen in preoperative squamous cell carcinoma cases, whereas the acute erythematous type of candidiasis was mainly seen in post-operative cases who received radiotherapy. The clinicomycological assessment can help to correlate the signs and symptoms with the presence of candidiasis in upper aerodigestive squamous cell carcinoma patients. Meticulous testing and examination can help in the early detection of candidiasis. Future studies are needed to develop advance scientific preventive strategies for high-risk cases.

AbstractIdiopathic fibrosis of different areas of the body such as retroperitoneal fibrosis, mediastinal fibrosis, sclerosing cholangitis, Reidel's thyroiditis and pseudo-tumour of the orbit are well recognised entities that manifest individually or in combination. A case of idiopathic fibrosis of the upper aerodigestive tract is presented, which caused dense fibrosis of the floor of mouth, tongue, pharynx and larynx leading to aphonia and severe dysphagia. A permanent tracheostomy was performed and regular bouginage is necessary. This is the first such case reported in the literature.

Abstract:

AbstractMultiple carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract is an increasingly recognized problem, and a concept of ‘field cancerization’ has been proposed to explain this phenomena. The initial assessment of a patient with an isolated aerodigestive carcinoma must be extensive so as not to miss any synchronous lesions, and may include radiography and endoscopy. Treatment cannot be standardised but must be tailored to suit individual problems and because of the high incidence of metachronous tumours, follow-up must be both thorough and ‘lifelong’.A case of three primary synchronous squamous carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract is presented. The relevant literature is reviewed.

Abstract:

Introduction Impaction of foreign bodies and obstruction in the upper aero-digestive tract is a medical emergency. Case Report A 5-month-old male infant presented with impacted large vegetable foreign body lying in the hypopharynx of an infant causing almost complete laryngeal obstruction. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated and back blows were given between the blades of the scapula to assist in its removal. Only available curved artery forceps was gently passed beyond the foreign body; blades of the forceps were opened to engage it and foreign body was swept and rolled out. Patient was revived after intensive resuscitation. Conclusion Suspect foreign body in the upper aero-digestive tract in any child presenting with severe respiratory distress or apneic spells or choking. Foreign body may be removed with only available curved artery forceps by gently passing beyond it, followed by opening and engaging blades of the forceps to sweep and roll it out of the upper aero-digestive tract.

AbstractObjectives:To assess the value of lateral soft tissue neck X-rays in patients presenting with upper aero-digestive tract foreign bodies.Design:Retrospective study.Inclusion criteria:(1) Patients referred to the ENT team, via either the accident and emergency department or their general practitioner; (2) a history of a non-aspirated, upper airway, aero-digestive tract foreign body; and (3) a lateral soft tissue neck X-ray taken on admission.Results:A total of 62 patients met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-four patients (38.7 per cent) had positive findings on lateral soft tissue neck X-ray. ‘Soft’ signs, such as widened pre-vertebral shadow and loss of lordosis, were seen in all 24 patients, and foreign bodies were visualised in six patients. Overall, lateral soft tissue neck X-rays were helpful in the management of 32 patients (51.6 per cent). Rather worryingly, doctors in the accident and emergency and ENT departments missed 79.2 and 66.6 per cent of the positive findings, respectively.Conclusions:A lateral soft tissue neck X-ray is a helpful tool in the management of patients presenting with upper aero-digestive tract foreign bodies. Junior doctors need better radiology training.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveSeveral aspects of the diet characteristic of the Mediterranean countries are considered favourable not only on cardiovascular disease, but also on cancer risk. We considered some aspects of the Mediterranean diet (including, in particular, the consumption of olive oil and carbohydrates) on cancer risk.Design, Setting and SubjectsData were derived from a series of case-control studies, conducted in Italy since the early 1990s, on over 10 000 cases of thirteen cancer sites and over 17 000 controls.ResultsOlive oil, and other mono- and unsaturated fats, appear to be favourable indicators of breast, ovarian, colorectal, but mostly of upper aero-digestive tract cancers. Whole grain foods are also related to reduced risk of upper aero-digestive tract and various other cancers. In contrast, refined grain intake and, consequently, glycaemic index and glycaemic load were associated to increased risk for several cancer sites. Fish, and hence a diet rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, tended to be another favourable diet indicator, while frequent red meat intake was directly related to some common neoplasms. An a priori defined Mediterranean diet score was inversely related to upper digestive and respiratory tract cancers.ConclusionsThese data provide additional evidence that major characteristics of the Mediterranean diet favourably affect cancer risk.

Abstract:

Background Aero-digestive tract foreign body (FB) is a common emergency dealt by the otolaryngologists. Airways FB have been a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Management of FB depends on the site of impaction and types of it. The study aimed to find out the incidence, types and complications of FB encountered in aerodigestive tract. Methods A hospital-based prospective study was conducted among the patients with aero digestive FB presented and managed at the department of ENT and HNS from August 2015 to July 2017. A self-designed proforma was used to collect the relevant data. A descriptive analysis was made of the frequency distribution of qualitative variables. The findings were presented as tables and graphs. Results A total of 276 patients were treated for FB in aero-digestive tract and 158 (57.25%) patients were male. 90 (32.6%) cases of FB occurred in age group of 1-10 years. Ninety six cases of foreign body (34.78%) were chicken bone followed by other bone (20.65%) and coin (18.12%). All cases of coin were seen in children <13 years old and disc Battery in children <10 years old. Out of 276 cases of foreign bodies, 254 (92.03%) were in upper digestive tract and 22 (7.97%) in airways. About 140 (50.72%) were in cricopharynx, 103 (37.32%) in esophagus and 11 (3.99%) in other sites in intestine.Complications were seen in 10 (3.62%) cases and retropharyngeal abscess was the most common (60%). Conclusion Cricopharynx was the most common site of FB lodgment in the digestive tract. Right main bronchus was the commonest site of lodgment of inhaled FB. Seeds, nuts, whistles, small toys were commonly seen obstructing the airway in children. They need to be trained not to keep these things in the mouth.

Abstract:

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Aero-digestive foreign bodies are prevalent in our part of the country. Apart from the usual foreign body we encountered some unique foreign bodies, the diagnosis and management of which, is difficult due to varied and overlapping clinical presentation. Rare foreign bodies in the aero-digestive tract pose challenges in diagnosis and treatment.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective observational study on thirty patients with aerodigestive foreign bodies who visited our hospital from July 2015 to October 2017. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Maximum number of cases was seen in age group of 0-5 years. The male to female ratio was 2:1. Among various types of foreign bodies, majority were metallic (43.3%). The most common site was cricopharynx (53.3%) followed by bronchus (26.6%) and esophageal (16.6%). The most common procedure done was hypopharyngoscopy (53.3%).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Aerodigestive tract foreign bodies are one of the emergencies that have considerable mortality and morbidity. High degree of skill and suspicion are required by surgeon for the management of foreign body.</p>

Abstract:

AbstractObstruction of the laryngeal airway is a life threatening problem due normally to obstructive pathology within the upper aero-digestive tract. We describe four cases of laryngeal stridor (two adults and two children) of psychogenic origin, one of which required a tracheostomy. The literature is reviewed and the subsequent pattern of this disease documented on the basis of 28 patients previously described.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:This study aimed to identify the incidence of residual viable neck disease in patients with mucosal squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aero-digestive tract, following primary chemoradiation at a tertiary centre.Study design:Retrospective review.Methods:Retrospective chart review of patients treated with primary chemoradiation for squamous cell carcinoma of the aero-digestive tract between August 2001 and August 2008. Neck status pre- and post-treatment was the primary focus.Results:Forty-two patients with node-positive disease prior to chemoradiation were included. Thirty-seven (88.1 per cent) achieved complete response to treatment: no patient in this group underwent neck dissection, five died due to recurrence at the primary site or distant metastasis, and none suffered neck recurrence. Five (11.9 per cent) patients achieved partial response to chemoradiation and underwent neck dissection; viable tumour was found in one patient.Conclusion:Our data support conservative management of the neck in patients with complete response to chemoradiation, and consolidation neck dissection in patients with partial response.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Foreign bodies (FB) in the upper aero-digestive tract pose major challenges to the otorhinolaryngologist in both diagnosis and management. Aspirated and ingested foreign bodies are often emergencies, leading to inadequate study, poor preparation and improper attempts at removal.

Most common site of impaction in oesophagus is cricopharynx and in airway is right bronchus. Most common type of FB is chicken bone. Most common symptom in FB ingestion is FB sensation and in case of FB aspiration it is cough. Most (82%) of the FBs were radio opaque.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Accurate history and clinical examination were the keystones in diagnosis and prevention of complications of FB lodgement in aerodigestive tract.

Abstract:

Squamous cell papilloma (SCP) in the upper aero-digestive tract is a rare disease entity with bimodal age presentation both at childhood and in adults. It originates from stratified squamous and/or respiratory epithelium. Traditionally, SCPs have been linked to chemical or mechanical irritation but, since the 1980s, they have also been associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Approximately 30% of the head and neck SCPs are associated with HPV infection, with this association being highest for laryngeal papillomas (76–94%), followed by oral (27–48%), sinonasal (25–40%), and oropharyngeal papillomas (6–7%). There is, however, a wide variation in HPV prevalence, the highest being in esophageal SCPs (11–57%). HPV6 and HPV11 are the two main HPV genotypes present, but these are also high-risk HPVs as they are infrequently detected. Some 20% of the oral and oropharyngeal papillomas also contain cutaneous HPV genotypes. Despite their benign morphology, some SCPs tend to recur and even undergo malignant transformation. The highest malignant potential is associated with sinonasal inverted papillomas (7–11%). This review discusses the evidence regarding HPV etiology of benign SCPs in the upper aero-digestive tract and their HPV-related malignant transformation. In addition, studies on HPV exposure at an early age are discussed, as are the animal models shedding light on HPV transmission, viral latency, and its reactivation.

Abstract:

AbstractPrimary mucosal melanomas of the upper aero-digestive tract are uncommon and represent only 1.7 to 3 per cent of all primary melanomas. The most frequent localization are the nasal fossae, the paranasal sinuses and the oral cavity where melanomas most often arise from the palate and alveolar ridge, buccal mucosa, lips, tongue and floor of mouth.The authors describe a case of malignant melanoma of the uvula, review the literature and discuss the aetiology, pathology and diagnostic and therapeutic problems.

Abstract:

AbstractFour regimens of prophylactic antibiotics were utilized in 122 consecutive patients of stages III and IV carcinoma of the upper aero-digestive tract undergoing major resections in a randomized single-blind study. Ampicillin, gentamicin, cephalexin and metronidazole were used in different combinations for periods of 5 or 10 days. A cephalexin-metronidazole protocol for 10 days was associated with lowest post-operative infection rate. Oral-oropharyngeal resection and use of pectoralis major myocutaneous flap were the most important factors contributing to infection.

Abstract:

A 69-year-old Caucasian woman presented with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL; stage 1-Rai System), significant oropharyngeal lymphoid enlargement, snoring and fatigue. Overnight polysomnography revealed moderately severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which was managed successfully with oral appliance therapy with resolution of snoring and daytime fatigue. Structural abnormalities of the upper airways are known to cause OSA. Airway narrowing can result from bony structural abnormalities, nasopharyngeal growth, soft tissue redundancy, macroglossia, malignant and benign growth of the upper aero-digestive tract, and adenotonsilar enlargement. Clinicians should be encouraged to consider a diagnosis of OSA in patients with CLL when they present with symptoms of worsening fatigue.

Abstract:

Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune disorder affecting the upper aero-digestive tract and conjunctivae. This is a case presentation of benign mucous membrane pemphigoid affecting the oral mucosa, pharynx, oesophagus and larynx, leading to cicatricial lesions in the pharynx and larynx, causing dysphagia, hoarseness and stridor. The alternative forms of management for laryngeal scarring due to this disease are explained. The patient was later diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma, raising the possibility of cicatricial pemphigoid manifesting as a paraneoplastic syndrome of underlying renal cell carcinoma.
