In 30 pregnant healthy women and other 70 healthy but non pregnant the AA. study the mucociliary nasal transport-time, using the charcoal method. The conclusion drawn out is that during the pregnancy the transport-time is meaningly reduced and the pregnants shows characteristic nasal signs and symptoms.
This is a case of a right cervical lump in a 19 years old woman, diagnosed of chondroid Syringoma, by means of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, and surgically treated. The AA. analyze clinical, histological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the theme and make a review of the present-day literature.
We have studied olfaction in 20 laryngectomies, only 10 of which were supplied with phonatory prosthesis. We conclude that patients without prosthesis show a higher threshold for perception of pure olfactory stimulants, whereas in those provided with the prosthesis the pure olfactory threshold remains within normal values.

We present the results obtained in a group of 52 patients (55 ears), 15 years old or younger, diagnosed with middle ear cholesteatoma. After the evaluation of their clinical records, audiometry and X ray, surgery was performed by means of canal wall up procedures in 40 ears (72%) and canal wall down procedures in 15 (27%). The cholesteatoma was eradicated in 62% of the first group and in 86% of the second one. In 17 patients there was a recurrence. In those cases of canal wall up procedures they were transformed in canal wall down, or in the canal wall down the cavity was cleaned up. Only in 2 of these 17 recurrences, there was a second recurrence. In 7 cases a tympanoplasty was performed and the audiometric GAP was reduced in 57% and only in 19% when tympanoplasty wasn't performed.
In this paper we present a follow up of 24 patients that underwent total laryngectomy with Herrmann's technique of phonatory voice prosthesis. We discuss the complications and the facts that provoqued the removal of the prosthesis.
In this paper we introduce our experience dealing with phonatory prosthesis in laryngectomees (secondary technique). We comment about clinical evolution, results and complications.
We study in this paper the results from two groups of patients that underwent total laryngectomy with voice rehabilitation through phonatory prosthesis, with and without myotomy. We present the complications and the phonatory results and decreased complications.
The Work is a study of quality voice in laryngectomy patients with speech prosthetic supports. We have studied the quality voice objective and subjective. We explain the results.
We present a case of multiple symmetric lipomatosis. We comment aspects diagnostics and therapeutic.
