6. A Rare Case of Hypopharyngeal Hamartoma Causing Acute Airway Obstruction.

Author

Cihak, R. Austin and Spanos, William

Abstract

A hamartoma is a benign tumor of tissue resembling the site of origin, despite exhibiting disorganized architecture. While benign, symptoms typically arise from mass effects. They are often found in the lower gastrointestinal tract and are a rare finding in the pharynx and larynx. Here we present a rare case of hamartoma of the hypopharynx in an 87-year-old male, which was dislodged and regurgitated during an episode of coughing, which resulted in syncope and airway obstruction. His wife was able to restore airway function by rolling the patient on his side until the ambulance arrived. The patient underwent microlaryngeal excision of the dislodged mass, and analysis of frozen sections showed hamartoma with no potential of malignancy. The patient's recovery was uncomplicated, and there has been no evidence of recurrence noted two years post-operatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that interfere with the endocrine system and cause adverse effects. We aimed to classify the effects of 24 known EDCs, prevalent in certain occupations, according to four modes of action (estrogenic, antiestrogenic, androgenic, and/or antiandrogenic). A literature search, stratified into four types of literature was conducted (namely: national and international agency reports; review articles; primary studies; ToxCastTM). The state of the evidence of each EDC on sex hormone function was summarized and reviewed by an expert panel. For each mode of action, the experts evaluated the likelihood of endocrine disruption in five categories: “No”, “Unlikely”, “Possibly”, “Probably”, and “Yes”. Seven agents were categorized as “Yes,” or having strong evidence for their effects on sex hormone function (antiandrogenic: lead, arsenic, butylbenzyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate; estrogenic: nonylphenol, bisphenol A). Nine agents were categorized as “Probable,” or having probable evidence (antiandrogenic: bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, nonylphenol, toluene, bisphenol A, diisononyl phthalate; androgenic: cadmium; estrogenic: copper, cadmium and; anti-estrogenic: lead). Two agents (arsenic, polychlorinated biphenyls) had opposing conclusions supporting both “probably” estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. This synthesis will allow researchers to evaluate the health effects of selected EDCs with an added level of precision related to the mode of action.

Abstract

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) promotes atrial remodeling that in turn promotes AF perpetuation. The aim of our study is to investigate the impact of AF history length on 1-year outcome of AF catheter ablation in a cohort of patients enrolled in the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Registry. Methods We described the real-life clinical epidemiology, therapeutic strategies, and the short- and mid-term outcomes of 1948 patients (71.9% with paroxysmal AF) undergoing AF ablation procedures, stratified according to AF history duration (= 2 years). Results The mean AF history duration was 46.2 +/- 57.4 months, 592 patients had an AF history duration = 2 years (mean 75.5 +/- 63.5 months) (P < 0.001). Patients with AF history duration = 2 years (34.0%) (P = 0.037). AF history duration >= 2 years, overall ablation procedure duration, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease were all predictors of recurrences after the blanking period. Conclusions In this multicenter registry, performing catheter ablation in patients with an AF history >= 2 years was associated with higher rates of AF recurrences at 1 year. Since cumulative time in AF in not necessarily equivalent to AF history, its role remains to be clarified.
