[Laryngeal function preservation in comprehensive therapy of carcinoma of pyriform sinus]
Objective:
To investigate the sufficiency of comprehensive therapy in the preservation of laryngeal function of carcinoma of pyriform sinus.
Method:
Since 1986, 33 cases of pyriform sinus carcinoma were treated, the clinical stages were as follows: stage I 2 cases, stage II 9 cases, stage III 12, stage IV 10. The induced chemotherapy agents were cisplatin, methotrexate and pingyangmycin. Surgical treatment include local dissection of tumor, partial hypopharynx and partial larynx dissection. All patients were received postoperative radiotherapy.
Result:
Chemotherapy partial response rate was 42.4%, 3 years survive rate was 54.8%, 5 years survive rate was 38.7%.
Conclusion:
The cisplatin centered combined induced chemotherapy was effective in the treatment of pyriform sinus, the laryngeal function preservation surgical treatment of pyriform sinus carcinoma in T1 T2 and selective T3 patients is practicable. Postoperative radiotherapy can improve the local control rate.

Larynx
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Acute Respiratory Failure-V
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...
