DOI: 10.1007/s00405-019-05643-x
Abstract: Introduction Although free tissue transfer is thought the best option for head and neck reconstruction, the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMCF) remains an important alternative method. The aim of this study was to assess the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00405-022-07261-6
Abstract: Oropharyngeal surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has evolved from a radical excision of “redundant” soft tissue for the enlargment of the airway to a minimally invasive reconstruction to fulfill both preservation of pharyngeal function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10620-018-5372-1
Abstract: BackgroundLaryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is suspected when the symptoms are attributed to the penetration of acidic gastroesophageal reflux (GER) into the larynx. However, the relationships between the intensity of LPR and symptoms and laryngeal injury have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10641-020-00963-y
Abstract: Cichlidae have a magnificent ecological versatility that provides the species to explore many trophic niches, and behavioural biology. This versatility was achieved by modifications in the cranial and pharyngeal apparatus of cichlids. Accordingly, we aim… read more here.
