From the first description of Charcot-Leyden crystals (CLCs) to the present, many steps have been taken to understand the mechanisms underlying their formation. In particular, to date not only eosinophils but also mast cells are known to be responsible for the production of CLCs, which represent the crystallized form of Galectin-10. Due to their characteristics, CLCs typically induce a crystallopathy and are responsible for an exacerbation of inflammation. Nasal cytology (NC) has allowed to better understand the correlation between the severity of several rhinopaties and the presence of CLCs in NC samples, which is strictly correlated with an eosinophiles and mast cells infiltration...

BACKGROUND: Hyoid suspension can be considered in major oromandibular reconstruction. The impact of hyoid suspension on flap viability, swallowing outcomes, airway, and long term radiographic hyoid position is unknown. The objective of this study is to describe outcomes after hyoid suspension in anterior mandibular reconstruction with fibular free flaps. We hypothesized hyoid suspension would not affect flap viability and would benefit functional outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in an academic tertiary medical center...

Total rhinectomy is ontologically necessary for large and locally invasive carcinomas of the nasal cavity owing to the complex three-dimensional structure of the nose. Reconstruction options include singular or combined options of local tissue rearrangement, free flap reconstruction, and prosthetic reconstruction which may be delayed in the setting of post-ablative radiation therapy. If significant bony exposure is present prior to radiation, there is a substantial risk of osteoradionecrosis and the ensuing sequalae...

PURPOSE: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) often results in impaired functional hearing and accidental injuries; thus, reducing military performance and endangering flight safety. While a few studies addressing laterality (left-right ear differences) and NIHL incidence between fixed-winged (jet-fighter) and rotary-wing (helicopter) aircrafts yielded inconsistent results, little is known about the NIHL profile among different types of jet-fighter pilots. This study aims to conduct a fine-grained examination of NIHL among Airforce jet pilots, with planned comparisons of laterality and aircraft type, along with the goal to compare the sensitivity of different hearing indices in predicting military pilot NIHL...
