Objective: Preoperative ultrasound-guided breast cancer detection was developed in the 1980s for non-palpable breast cancers. This technique was applied to neck surgery in 5 specific cases. Methods: Retrospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of this technique. Results: The mean surgical time was 35.2 ± 15.2 min. There were no complications of this percuta ...

Introduction: During the COVID-19 lockdown children, confined at home, had a potentially increased risk of domestic accidents like the placement of foreign bodies in ears and noses. Thus, we analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) consultations in the ED of Giannina Gaslini Children’s Hospital in Genoa due to foreign bodies (FB). M ...

This article examines the fundamental statements of Bekesy's traveling wave theory in hearing and proposes an updated perspective on auditory information processing mechanisms. It argues that the traditional theory does not adequately account for non-mammalian auditory mechanisms, as many species effectively perceive sound without a basilar membrane or cochlear fluids ...

Objective: There is a plethora of research showing reduced speech intelligibility for a variety of voice disorders (i.e., dysphonia, alaryngeal). Therapeutic approaches to improve intelligibility typically involve targeting the speaker (e.g., clear speech, reduced rate) with minimal attention to the listener. Therefore, there were three purposes of this study: 1) to d ...

Oral injuries are common in abused children. In non-mobile infants, these injuries are often inflicted by various instruments, or by hands, fingers, or bottles during feedings. Subsequently, an infant may suffer lacerations/bruising to the tongue, alveolar mucosa, frenum, or the soft and/or hard palate. Rarely, pharyngeal or esophageal perforations may occur from pene ...
