BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF OTOLARYNGOLOGISTS POLIOMYELITIS INOCULATION AND THE REMOVAL OF TONSILS AND ADENOIDS The Council recommends that children should be inoculated against poliomyelitis before the removal of tonsils and adenoids. As a safeguard the ear, nose and throat specialist should ascertain from the parent whether the child has received its second inoculation. It is appreciated that no direct pressure can be brought to bear on parents if they do not wish to have their child inoculated and they can only be warned of the possible risks.

THE INSTITUTE OF LARYNGOLOGY AND OTOLOGY 330-332 GRAY'S INN ROAD, LONDON, W.C.I. Professor F. C. Ormerod vacated the Chair of Laryngology and Otology in the University of London on the 30th September, 1959, and has been elected Professor Emeritus by the Senate. The University has not for the time being made a new appointment to the Chair. Professor Ormerod has been appointed Director of Research at the Institute and in addition he will continue, in collaboration with the Dean, to be concerned with the organization and co-ordination of the teaching of students. The teach- ing arrangements generally will be carried on as at present. The post of Reader in Otology has been advertised and will shortly be rilled. It is hoped in the near future also to establish a Readership in Laryngology. 857 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.

  • New Preparations
    210 The Journal of Laryngology, the work. The various forms of laryngeal paralysis are conveniently grouped together and illustrated. Laryngeal neuritis comes in for a share of attention, and Dr. Luc thinks that the term should be limited to those cases in which the appearances develop with suddenness in an individual who may or may not be rheumatic, but who is exempt from all signs of hysteria, a paralysis affecting the range of the superior or recurrent laryngeal, and an absence of any appreciable cause of com- pression, a diminution of the faradic reaction of the muscles and progres- sive cure following both forms of electrization. Paralyses of bulbar origin are next detailed (glosso-labial palsy, sclerosis, tabes, softening, etc.). A good chapter deals with the contested point whether there are laryngeal paralyses produced from a lesion of the cerebral hemispheres, and the recent experimental work of Semon and Horsley, and clinical observations of Garel and Dor, and Dejerine, are discussed, and in the end the author forms the conclusion (with Rauge) that laryngeal paralysis of cortical or subcortical origin will doubtless cease to be an exceptional clinical phenomenon when examination of the larynx of all patients affected with cerebral lesions, and especially hemiplegia, becomes in hospitals a matter of routine. Myopathic paralysis is briefly discussed, and a useful chapter upon the diagnosis and semeiology of laryngeal paralyses follows. The book closes with the consideration of the dyskinesias, reflex, phonatory, inspira- tory, chorea, paralysis agitans, disseminated sclerosis and tabes. We congratulate Dr. Luc upon having produced a most excellent treatise, and having exercised a great deal of skill in presenting clearly and concisely, within the limits of a short book of under three hundred pages, a most difficult subject.

Acknowledgement First of all, I am sincerely grateful to Prof. Bj¨ornSchuller, who is my supervisor and invited me to work with his group four years ago. Prof. Schuller always encourages me to do research on topics I am really interested in. Without his valuable sugges- tions and excellent supervisions, I could never achieve such work described in this thesis. The experience of working at Prof. Schuller's group in Munich, Passau and Augsburg is very happy and impressive for me. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. Gerhard Rigoll for allowing me to work at the Chair of Human-Machine Communication and providing me help both for my research and life at Munich. I am also grateful to Prof. TBA for his careful review and examination of this thesis, and Prof. TBA for chairing the examination board. Thirdly, I am grateful to Prof. Satoshi Matsuoka from Tokyo Institute of Tech- nology, Japan, and Assoc.

  • Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty Combined with Radiofrequency Tongue Base Reduction As One Stage Multilevel Surgery for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
    THE NEW ARMENIAN MEDICAL JOURNAL Vol.11 (2017), Nо 3, p. 11-19 UVULOPALATOPHARYNGOPLASTY COMBINED WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TONGUE BASE REDUCTION AS ONE STAGE MULTILEVEL SURGERY FOR THE TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME KHANDANYAN G.L.1*, SHUKURYAN A.K.1,2 1 Department of ENT diseases, Yerevan State Medical University after M. Heratsi, Yerevan, Armenia 2 ENT Department, Erebouni Medical Center, Yerevan, Armenia Received 25/03/2017;accepted for printing 08/07/2017 ABSTRACT In this study we investigated the outcome of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty combined with radio- frequency thermotherapy of the tongue base in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with both palatal and retrolingual obstruction. A retrospective cohort study was performed in patients with mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Thirty-two patients (26 men and 6 women) with obstructive sleep apnea syn- drome who underwent radiofrequency tongue base reduction combined with uvulopalatopharyn- goplasty completed this study. The ages ranged from 28 to 56 years (mean age ± SEM: 45 ±5.87). All of the preoperative examinations and the measurements including the body mass index, visual analogue scoring system for snoring, Epworth sleepiness scale and polysomnography were re- peated 6 months after surgery. Surgical success was defined as Apnea Hypopnea Index was less than 20, and the number of operated patients with such index was more than 50%, and response rate to the reduction of the index ranges between 20%-50%. The overall response rate was de- fined when reduction in Apnea Hypopnea Index was more than 20%. Body mass index was not changed significantly before (26.72±4.15 kg/m2) and after surgery (26.56±4.18 kg/m2).
