Otology
Otology is a branch of biomedicine which studies normal and pathological anatomy and physiology of the ear (hearing and vestibular sensory systems and related structures and functions) as well as its diseases, diagnosis and treatment.
Human Papillomavirus and Head and Neck Cancer
An association with HPV should be suspected in all oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cases, particularly those originating from the base of the tongue and tonsils; in immunosuppressed HNSCC patients; and in cases with no or little-to-moderate exposure to tobacco and alcohol. HPV-positive HNSCCs and HPV-negative HNSCCs are distinct entities; they have different risk profiles and molecular profiles, and they respond differently to treatment. Therefore, their prevention and treatment may benefit from separate approaches. Antismoking campaigns and smoking-cessation programs have been successful in the prevention of HPV-unrelated HNSCC.[1] The incidence of HPV-positive HNSCC may be reduced through enhanced public knowledge of the potential routes of HPV transmission, and by the prophylactic HPV vaccines currently widely available in the US for cervical cancer prevention (and which are now recommended for males to prevent genital warts).
INTERNATIONAL SIALENDOSCOPY WORKSHOP (ISWS 2010),November 14,Hyderabad
Dear colleagues,
It gives me immense pleasure to announce the INTERNATIONAL SIALENDOSCOPY WORKSHOP (ISWS
2010) to be held on November 14th 2010. The one day workshop will have lectures, video presentations
and live demonstrations to introduce the beginners to sialendoscopy: a new procedure, which aims to
visualize the lumen of the salivary ducts and their pathologies. It is a promising new method for the
diagnosis and treatment of most of the inflammatory conditions of the major salivary glands and can
therefore prevent salivary gland excisions.
It gives me immense pleasure to bring amongst us Dr Francis Marchal, the director of the ESTS a pioneer
in the field of sialendoscopy. Looking forward to seeing you at the workshop.
Please find attach herewith the brochure for the same
