Article Abstract
Objective: We aim to explore the clinical features and influencing factors of curative effect in children harboring acute laryngitis with laryngeal obstruction.
Methods: There involved 237 children with acute laryngitis and 80 healthy children who required physical examination in our hospital between January and September in 2021. The healthy children who required physical examination were allocated into the healthy/control group. The clinical data and laboratory indexes of each group were compared. We also analyzed the risk factors for curative effect of acute laryngitis with laryngeal obstruction among children using univariate/multivariate logistic regression.
Results: The incidence of barking cough, sore throat, dryness, pruritus, dyspnea, diffuse congestion and swelling of laryngeal mucosa and vocal cord congestion or covered with vascular striation in degree III laryngeal obstruction group were significantly higher than other study groups, with degree II laryngeal obstruction group higher than degree I group, and degree I group higher than no laryngeal obstruction group (P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and WBC in degree III laryngeal obstruction group were higher than other three study groups, with degree II higher than degree I laryngeal obstruction group and no obstruction group, and degree I higher than no laryngeal obstruction group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were the risk factors affecting the curative effect of acute laryngitis with laryngeal obstruction in children, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The study revealed the incidence of barking cough, sore throat, dryness, pruritus, dyspnea, diffuse congestion and swelling of laryngeal mucosa vocal cord congestion or covered with vascular striation is highly associated with the severity of acute laryngitis with laryngeal obstruction in children. Additionally, higher levels of CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and WBC indicated serious condition of the disease among children. Hence the risk factors responsible for the efficacy of acute laryngitis in children are CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8.

Laryngopyocele: A Rare Cause of Upper Airway Compromise.
Cureus
August 2025
Radiodiagnosis, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar, Deoghar, IND.
Laryngocele is defined as the abnormal dilatation of the laryngeal saccule by air, and when it becomes infected, it is termed a laryngopyocele. Laryngopyoceles can present acutely with airway compromise and swallowing difficulties, along with other symptoms such as hoarseness and neck pain. A 78-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with a progressively enlarging left-sided neck swelling over 30 years, recently associated with hoarseness, dysphagia, and respiratory distress.

Effective airway topicalization is essential for awake tracheal fiberoptic intubation (ATI) in patients with a difficult airway. Traditional methods often result in inadequate anesthesia at the laryngeal inlet, leading to patient discomfort, procedural difficulty, and excessive local anesthetic (LA) use. This case series introduces a novel, resource-efficient topicalization technique using standard operating theatre equipment.

Background: Postoperative complications following esophageal surgery are severe, with respiratory complications being the most common. This study aims to evaluate the rate of respiratory complications and related factors post-esophagectomy and lymph node dissection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Subjects And Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to March 2024 on ESCC who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy and extended two-field lymph node dissection.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH, Forestier's disease) is a rare non-inflammatory degenerative-dystrophic disease of the musculoskeletal system, characterized by calcification of ligaments and tendons, in particular the anterior longitudinal ligament. It is rare, more often among men over 60 years old. When the cervical spine is affected, DISH manifests itself as neck pain, stiffness of movement, dysphagia and, in some cases, difficulty breathing.

Background And Aims: Traditional airway assessment methods likely miss findings, resulting in unanticipated difficult airways. Surgeons routinely do computed tomography (CT) scans of head and neck cancer patients to determine the extent and resectability of the disease. We used these images for 3-dimensional CT (3D CT) reconstruction to provide additional airway-related information to the anaesthesiologist and studied its impact on airway management.
