Pharyngeal Tonsil

The pharyngeal tonsil is a lymphatic tissue mass located in the roof of the nasopharynx. The function of the pharyngeal tonsil is to prevent infections with the help of antibodies. Chronic inflammation and allergies lead to hyperplasia of the adenoids that is found almost exclusively in children. The treatment of choice is surgical treatment; conservative treatment is only indicated preoperatively or if surgery is contraindicated. In this paper, we will present a new surgical method for adenoidectomy performed trans-orally with coblation, under endoscopic control.

Pharyngeal Tonsil

Summary Introduction: Hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil is one of the main causes of mouth breathing, and accurate diagnosis of this alteration is important for proper therapeutic planning. Therefore, studies have been conducted in order to provide information regarding the procedures that can be used for the diagnosis of pharyngeal obstruction. Objective: To verify the correlation between nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometric examinations in the diagnosis of pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia. Method: This was a cross-sectional, clinical, experimental, and quantitative study. Fifty-five children took part in this study, 30 girls and 25 boys, aged between 7 and 11 years. The children underwent nasofibropharyngoscopic and cephalometric evaluation to determine the grade of nasopharyngeal obstruction. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient at the 5% significance level was used to verify the correlation between these exams. Results: In the nasopharyngoscopy evaluation, most children showed grade 2 and 3 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 1. In the cephalometry assessment, most children showed grade 1 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 2. A statistically significant regular positive correlation was observed between the exams. Conclusion: It was concluded that the evaluation of the pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia could be carried out by fiber optic nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometry, as these examinations were regularly correlated. However, it was found that cephalometry tended to underestimate the size of the pharyngeal tonsil relative to nasopharyngoscopy.

Plastic shopping bags are easy to obtain for free or at low prices, hence contribute as the highest quantity among plastic waste. The plastic shopping bags waste has no economic value. Usually they are just thrown away. An alternative solution is by utilizing them to produce paving block by mixing with sands. The objective of this experiment is to evaluate the best ratio composition of plastic shopping bags waste and sand, followed by evaluation of the physical-mechanical properties of this particular paving block. Several different mixture ratios of weights of plastic shopping bag and sand were evaluated to obtain the best physical-mechanical properties of the paving block. The mixture ratios of weight of plastic shopping bags waste and sand were 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5, respectively. The shopping plastic bags waste was melted before mixed with sand. The different mixture ratios were mixed with same pressure. The paving block mixture with ratio of 1:4 exhibited the best physical-mechanical properties as revealed by no defect, no crack and fine surface. The compressive strength of 17.4 MPa, friction resistance of 0.138 mm/sec and water absorption of 2.518% can be achieved, which is suitable for parking area construction.

Pharyngeal Tonsil

The aim of this work is to draw the attention of otorhinolaryngologists to the advantages of early conservative treatment of children with hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal tonsil - adenoids. In childhood, a significant part of the protective and informational functions lies on the pharyngeal tonsil, since it is in the path of inhaled air. Unfavourable environmental conditions exacerbate its functional failure. Pathology of the lymphopharyngeal ring is highly prevalent and occupies a leading place among ENT diseases in children. Each person has a certain own microflora on the nasal mucosa from birth. In most cases, monoflora is determined on the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, and only 2-3% is due to the combination of two types of microbial and fungal flora. For more than twenty years, we have been using the tactics of a sparing effect on the mucous membrane when using medicinal mixtures on a protective basis. Conservative treatment of 245 children aged 3 to 6 years with grade 1 – 2 adenoiditis was carried out, which made it possible to avoid surgical intervention in this group of children. When choosing a drug mixture, the sensitivity of the microflora of the patient’s nasal cavity was considered according to the results of a smear from the mucous membrane. Adenoidectomy is an operation with potentially undesirable consequences for the whole body, therefore, effective timely conservative therapy can reduce the risks and harms of surgery for pediatric patients.
