Otorhinolaryngeal diseases in old age and in famous persons.

Diseases of the ear, nose and throat influenced or played an important role in the lives of painters (D. Ghirlandaio, L. da Vinci, L. van Leyden, J. Reynolds, F. Goya, V. van Gogh), composers (L. van Beethoven, B. Smetana, G. Puccini, M. Ravel, J. Jezek), writers or poets (W. Shakespeare, O. Wilde), statesmen (Francis II, John VI., G. Washington, Frederick III, G.S. Cleveland, U.S. Grant, Edward VII, A. Hitler, F.D. Roosevelt) or other famous persons (M. Luther, T. Brahe, H. Schliemann, T.A. Edison, S. Freud, G.S. Patton, E. Rommel, etc.). The aim of this paper is to remind us of and also to enrich our knowledge about the specialization in which we are working everyday.

[Malignant melanoma of the head and neck].

The authors evaluate the group of 25 patients suffering from malignant melanoma in head and neck region. Patients were treated on ENT clinic in Hradec Králové during 1961-1991. The authors describe the localization of malignant melanoma, the process of therapy and the surviving of patients. The contemporary opinions are discussed for possibilities of therapy.

[Results of audiometric testing in patients with chronic renal insufficiency who were tested in 1985 and 1986].

Partial hearing loss has been proved audiometrically in 38/82 patients submitted to the chronical intermittent or transplantation program in 1985. However, in only 27 patients the interrelationship with the main renal disease or its management was established on the basis of anamnestical data, age and type of audiometric curve. The audiometric control examination delayed up to 1 year resulted in one case of expressive partial hearing loss as related to the administration of ototoxical drugs. In order to evaluate precisely the dependence of progressive partial hearing loss on the dialysis, the long-term monitoring is required.

[Dynamic and duplex ultrasonography].

Dynamic ultrasonography is a diagnostic ultrasound examination which makes possible non-invasive visualization of soft tissue structures of the neck and its large blood vessels. Duplex ultrasonography makes moreover aimed assessment of the blood flow in major vessels possible and thus supplements in a significant way the echotomographic picture. Because of its non-invasive character it is preferable to CT and angiography in diagnostic work.

[Duplex sonography. Examples of its use in otorhinolaryngology].

Duplex sonography not only provides the ENT specialist with valuable information on topographic relations of soft tissue tumours with the main blood vessels of the neck but provides also information on the blood flow in these vessels. It makes it possible to draw reliable conclusions on vascular anomalies or dislocation of the vessels, on affections of the vascular wall, on restricted patency of vessels due to the action of a tumour (compression, penetration) or inflammation (thrombus) or changes in the flow through the jugular vein conditioned by impaired passage in the S-shaped sinus. In some instance ultrasonic examination is a valuable method for evaluation of the dynamic and further development of the basic disease and can replace classical arteriography or phlebography.

[Comments from a clinician and pathologist on the terminology, diagnosis and treatment of precancerous conditions of the larynx].

Only comprehensive treatment comprising active screening of risk groups, treatment proper, primary and secondary prevention and permanent collaboration of the clinician and pathologist can improve significantly the prognosis (morbidity and mortality) of patients with precanceroses of the larynx. Subsequent dispensary care then improves by cca 10% the five-year survival of patients with confirmed malignancies, as compared with the therapeutic results of all treated carcinomas of the larynx during the corresponding period.
