- BookPaul J. Donald.Summary: Authoritative and lavishly illustrated, this book is a valuable compendium of surgical techniques for the most complex oncologic problems in the head and neck patient. It distills the author's decades of experience in the surgical management of cases in which the excision of complex lesions is difficult and reconstruction is problematic. In the first half of the book, each chapter addresses cancer in a different region of the head and neck. Each chapter provides discussion of etiology, pathology, pathophysiology, and surgical anatomy, providing the necessary background for diagnostic evaluation, surgical treatment as well as nonsurgical treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation. Additional chapters cover such important topics as care for the pediatric patient, radiotherapy, restoration secondary to tumor ablation, and speech, voice, and swallowing implications following ablative procedures. Features--Detailed descriptions that guide the clinician through each surgical procedure. Comprehensive discussion of management strategies that provides clinicians with a solid understanding of the available treatments and the possibilities and limitations of each. Nearly 1,000 high-quality illustrations, photographs, and radiographic images that demonstrate pathologic and surgical concepts in precise detail. Coverage of the latest techniques in skull base surgery and laryngeal surgery. Valuable discussion of nursing care, nutrition, and speech therapy.

Leonard.Digital Access Thieme MedOne Otolaryngology 2010 - ArticleShipley GL, Ross IK.Cell Differ. 1978 Apr;7(1-2):21-32.An improved assay for quantitatively measuring the number of plasmodia formed with time is presented. Using this assay we have investigated the effects of three proteases, subtilisin PBN', subtilisin carlsberg and alpha-chymotrypsin. We have shown that 1) plasmodium formation is sensitive to protease treatment only during the first 2 h after mixing amoebae of compatible mating type but not after, 2) amoebae are protease sensitive when treated 1 h prior to mixing, 3) the two clones used have different sensitivities to protease treatment and 4) these effects are due to enzymatic activity and have little effect on viability. The meaning of these results in relation to recent evidence for a diffusible inducer of plasmodium formation is discussed.
