Otolaryngology (ENT)

Head and neck patients who undergo treatment with free tissue transfer are patients with some of the most complex perioperative needs. Due to nature of the defects, reconstructive surgery is complex and often is the only available option offering an acceptable quality of life. Therefore, successful recovery of these patients is of paramount importance. Whilst the surgery itself is of utmost importance, insufficient or inappropriate pre-surgical work up and post-operative care may lead to reconstructive failures. Secondary reconstruction offers less optimal functional outcomes and may add to patient morbidity due to additional surgeries being required. This book serves as a comprehensive source of information related to the pre-, intra- and postoperative care of head and neck patients. It fills a critical need for a single source that addresses all aspects of perioperative management of head and neck patients.

Nasopharyngeal Cancer - Multidisciplinary Management provides a comprehensive account of the current state of knowledge on nasopharyngeal cancer and its multidisciplinary management. The first ten chapters document contain essential background information on subjects such as epidemiology, pathogenesis, molecular biology, pathology, and the use of imaging in diagnosis and staging. Subsequently, the various treatment options and combinations in a range of settings are examined in depth. Detailed attention is given to the roles of concurrent, adjuvant, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and advanced radiotherapy techniques. Further chapters then explore surgical treatment, follow-up, treatment of metastatic disease, treatment-related complications, and nasopharyngeal cancer in children. This is an important book that will prove essential reading for the radiation oncology community worldwide and meet the need for substantial improvements in knowledge of modern techniques.

Human olfaction - the sense of smell - enables us to appreciate food and drink, it warns us of dangers and it makes our environments more enjoyable. However, olfaction is one of our least explored sensory systems. Until now.Smells and scents are the colour that enrich our experience of life. Ask anyone to reflect on their sense of smell, and they immediately start talking. First there are discussions about food and wine, but pretty quickly they move on to personal topics: about the smells that evoke memories of childhood, dead relatives, pregnancy, love and sex. When people talk about their sense of smell, they also tell us something about themselves, their feelings, thoughts and relationships. Thus, the sense of smell not only reflects the chemical world outside us, but also bears witness to our inner world, our feelings and thoughts.The Forgotten Sense explores the unknown mind and how it shapes people: Why can smells evoke such strong memories? How much can body odors control who you fall in love with? How sensitive is the human sense of smell? In many ways these questions are on the very forefront of our understanding, but Dr Jonas Olofsson has spent years studying the least understood of our senses. And he has discovered that it is actually possible to improve and refine one's sense of smell, to develop it into a more useful tool to bring a powerful immediacy to your life.

This book synthesizes the current literature on the effects of vaping on voice and discusses the pathophysiology of voice symptoms in affected patients. The detrimental impact of e-cigarette smoking on various systems in the body, including those that affect voice production, is also reviewed. E-cigarette smoking has been shown to impair pulmonary function, which jeopardizes the power source for voice production. It has been associated with an increase in sinonasal and oral symptoms, thus altering voice resonance and quality. Vaping has been linked to reflux disease and esophagitis, putting the defenseless lining of the larynx and pharynx at risk of injury by the gastroduodenal refluxate. Providing insights on the adverse effects of e-cigarette smoking on the phonatory apparatus is of paramount importance, particularly in professional voice users who rely on their voice to make a living. E-Cigarette Smoking, Voice, and Health is addressed to all medical doctors, interns, and health care providers, and in particular to otolaryngologists, laryngologists, speech-language pathologists, and voice therapists.

This comprehensive volume provides balanced and easily readable chapters on contemporary topics around discourse production in patients with neurogenic disorders. Discourse broadly refers to a unit of language longer than a single sentence, typically used in a spoken or written format to express ideas, feelings, and opinions or to interact with others. As the field of research in speech-language pathology, aphasia and related neurogenic disorders, and clinical decision-making to manage neurogenic impairments is rapidly expanding, there has been an increased focus on discourse analysis and therapy to enable patients to speak well again. Various user groups and people with lived experience (e.g., aphasia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere damage, etc.) are also increasingly focused on the impact of neurogenic impairments on domains of conversation and changes in language skills beyond the smaller linguistic components of single words and sentences that are traditionally supported by speech-language therapy. The first part of this book details and discusses the basic principles, historical perspectives (history and developmental milestones), neural basis, and recent evolutions and advancement of discourse analysis in speakers with acquired communication disorders. The second part of the book outlines and illustrates current methods for discourse elicitation and analysis across different clinical populations. Recent leaps forward in technology that can assist in the recording, processing, and analysis of discourse will be highlighted. The final part of book reviews and summarizes key developments of various evidenced-based training strategies, interventions, and treatment programs, as well as utilization of innovative technology to clinically improve neurogenic disordered discourse.¿This is an ideal guide for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of communication sciences and disorders, speech and language therapy, gerontology, (neuro-)linguistics, psychology, and related fields in clinical medicine.

Head and neck reconstruction can be challenging due to the anatomical complexity of the area, its impact upon function, and the common need for adjuvant treatment postoperatively in cases of malignancy. Furthermore, the results are very visible and may significantly affect the patient's ability to reintegrate socially. This unique surgical atlas is organized as a matrix of options, from simple to complex, covering all described anatomical areas of the head and neck. The organization of defects and reconstructive options, combined with illustrations and high-resolution intraoperative photography, make this the premier reconstructive reference that will be accessible when difficult reconstructive situations arise. The matrix concept is a unique approach to organizing and presenting facial, head and neck defects. Most clinical cases present as a defect or as the potential for a defect after a resection. The matrix approach is a human cognitive approachto problem solving. This atlas allows the reader to search out their potential defects and study the possible reconstructive options available to them. This spectrum of possibilities may help the surgeon to decide whether to manage on the case on their own or refer it for more expertise. It is also a visible tool to assist surgeons in reviewing options and making decisions with patients in the informed consent process.The matrix presents defects with internal consistency throughout the text and is organized in an anatomic order. Each anatomic sub-site is further subdivided into recognized clinical sub-units, and each potential defect is then illustrated in a standardized fashion to promote clarity and uniformity for easy reference. Commonly associated defects are linked. Each specific defect is then addressed, presenting reconstructive options of increasing complexity, with photography to show a staged approach to pre-reconstruction, site preparation, flap selection, flap inset, and final results acutely post-operatively and at a delayed time point.Matrix Head and Neck Reconstruction combines and distills the work of major head and neck reconstruction and facial plastic surgery to provide a broad and deep resource that is highly pictorial and practical in providing a scalable approach to reconstruction.
