Opis:: Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multi-organ disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas. The lesions are usually localized within the lungs and hilar lymph nodes. The sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract (SURT) rate is estimated at 0.5–6%. The involvement of the larynx is extremely rare – it occurs in 1.2% of cases of SURT. Materials and methods. We present a case of a patient with laryngeal sarcoidosis. Results: A 48-year-old man had had a diagnosed of dysphonia for 5 years. A diagnosis of chronic hypertrophic laryngitis was made. Empirical course of methylprednisolone was attempted with a short-term improvement. Due to coexisting skin lesions, he was diagnosed with allergy. Chest CT showed moderately enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes as well as bilateral nodules around the hila. The bronchial biopsy showed no granulomas. Samples taken during microlaryngoscopy revealed sarcoid infiltrates. Conclusions and discussion: There is no unambiguous test confirming the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. It is a typical example of a diagnosis by exclusion. Laryngeal involvement is extremely rare and occurs in 1.2% of cases of SURT. The clinical course of the disease is often difficult to predict. In many patients, the lesion may undergo spontaneous regression. In patients poorly responding to steroid therapy or developing side effects, cytotoxic drugs may be considered.

quantitative measurement of upper respiratory tract aerated space volume
Opis:: The paper presents the possibilities of quantitative analysis of results obtained from CT examination of organs and anatomical structures of the upper respiratory tract. The presented results of the analysis were obtained using proprietary software developed in the MATLAB 2018b environment (Image Processing toolbox). The software enables to visualize the original results of CT scan and, after evaluating the visible structures, enables to select the area to be subjected to quantitative analysis. After the initial identification of an area of interest requiring detailed diagnostics, its volume and the surface areas of individual cross-sections are calculated in the area separated for examinations. A graphical presentation of the analysis results - the surface areas of selected cross-sections possible to visualize in two- and three-dimensional space - enables quick analysis of changes in the examined region.

Opis:: Cancer patients are predisposed to fungal infections caused by Candida albicans, especially to oral or respiratory tract candidiasis. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic diversity by RAPD-PCR (random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction) of C. albicans isolated from upper respiratory tract of 100 patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Among 52 strains, 34 genotypes were defined. 10 clusters comprising 28 (53.85%) isolates with similarity coefficient ≥ 80% were formed. The remaining 24 (46.15%) isolates represented individual genotypes. The RAPD-PCR technique revealed genomic variability within C. albicans isolated from upper respiratory tract of the cancer patients.

acute infections of an upper respiratory tract and upper gastrointestinal tract
Opis:: Acute infections of the upper respiratory tract and upper gastrointestinal tract (mouth and throat) are still the most common reason for reporting to the general practitioner or ENT specialist. Despite the fact that the most common causative agent of these diseases is a virus, antibiotics are still flavored in about 60-80% of patients who report to the doctor. In consensuses such as EPOS, WHO reports and other local/ / national reports, there is a need to limit antibacterial treatment for and to replace it with symptomatic and anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to intranasal steroids and mucocutaneous decongestants, supplementary treatment should be considered which resolves persistent symptoms. Plant preparations are used here. The growing role of rational phytotherapy is emphasized, especially due to the most frequent the etiological factor of these infections, i.e. viruses. Modern phytotherapy is a part of pharmacology, and all preparations based on plants meet the standards for of medicines and are subject to standard registration procedures. The article discusses the use and mechanism of action of selected herbs, among others: sorrel, elderberry, yarrow, and horsetail in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections and upper gastrointestinal tract. The phytotherapy shows good efficacy and tolerance and can be used both in children and adults in recurrent infections of the upper respiratory tract. It is worth paying attention to the combined preparations, the components of which have the effects confirmed by randomized trials and long-term registration for use in treatment, both during the first signs of cold and its further duration, and supportive as support in chronic inflammation especially of the paranasal sinuses.

Opis:: This review article presents immunological issues in the course of the turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT) emphasizing local immunity mechanisms, both humoral and cell-mediated, in the upper respiratory system. Studies on the influence of the humoral immunity in the course of infection and vaccinations against TRT have revealed many times the absence of correlation between the titre of specific IgY anti-aMPV (avian Metapneumovirus) antibodies in the serum and in the upper respiratory washings and the immunity against the occurrence of the clinical form of the TRT. Considering the above, T cells are increasingly often regarded as the main factor involved in the upper respiratory immunity against the TRT. However, there have been just a few reports on the role of the T cells in the local immunity processes in the infection with aMPV in turkeys. Additionally, studies of the T-cell-associated immunity against the TRT have given ambiguous results. Immunoprophylaxis issues against the aMPV infections are a significant part of the work where the authors confront current vaccination programmes against the perspectives of use of the future vaccines against the TRT. Future vaccines should face the following criteria: absence of the risk of immunosuppressive effect and reversion of vaccine strains virulence, ease-of-use combined with the possibility of administration of the vaccine to the large numbers of turkeys. The leading role in future vaccination programs for birds against the TRT is likely to be played by the in ovo technique and the recombinant vaccines. Great hopes are also linked with the development of subunit vaccines against the aMPV.

Opis:: INTRODUCTION The most frequent risk factors of malignant neoplasms in the upper respiratory tract (MNURT) are tobacco smoking, excessive consumption of spirits with a high percentage of alcohol, vitamin A deficiency, genetic pre-disposition, as well as exposure to carcinogenic compounds present in the environment. The aim of the study was to analyze the life style and quality of life factors, and their influence upon the incidence of MNURT within the micro-region of Mysłowice. MATERIAL AND METHODS The paper presents a retrospective analysis of MNURT incidence in the towns of Mysłowice, Imielin, and Chełm Śląski, on the basis of materials concerning patients treated in the Laryngologic Ward of the Mysłowice hospital, in the years 1995–2004. On the basis of patients’ data, the authors carried out analysis of MNURT incidence in correlation with risk factors related to the work in which patients were engaged, the number of cigarettes smoked as function of time, consumption of strong alcohols, social and living conditions, place of employment, current place of residence, as well as education. RESULTS Cigarette smoking and/or consumption of strong alcohols are the main risk factors in MNURT. The level of education as well as socio-economic status are also significant risk factors in MNURT incidence. CONCLUSIONS The firm conclusion of the paper is that the increased number of cases of MNURT in the micro-region of Mysłowice, Imielin, and Chełm Śląski may be due to the living conditions, higher level of consumption of strong alcohols, excessive cigarette smoking, as well as low socio-economic status of the examined patients.
WSTĘP Najczęściej wymienianymi czynnikami ryzyka w nowotworach złośliwych górnych dróg oddechowych (NZGDO) jest palenie tytoniu, nadmierne spożycie wysokoprocentowego alkoholu, niedobór witaminy A, predyspozycja genetyczna i narażenie na działanie związków rakotwórczych pochodzenia środowiskowego. Celem pracy była analiza czynników związanych ze stylem i jakością życia oraz ich wpływ na zachorowalność na NZGDO w obrębie mikroregionu Mysłowic. MATERIAŁ I METODY W pracy przedstawiono retrospektywną analizę zachorowań na NZGDO w obrębie miejscowości: Mysłowice, Imielin i Chełm Śląski na podstawie danych oddziału laryngologicznego szpitala w Mysłowicach z lat 1995–2004. Dokonano analizy zapadalności na NZGDO w korelacji z czynnikami ryzyka związanymi z wykonywaną pracą, liczbą wypalanych papierosów, czasem palenia, spożyciem wysokoprocentowego alkoholu, warunkami socjalno-bytowymi, miejscem zatrudnienia i aktualnym miejscem zamieszkania, chorobami współistniejącymi i poziomem wykształcenia. WYNIKI Z analizy wynika, że głównymi czynnikami ryzyka w NZGDO były palenie papierosów i/lub spożywanie wysokoprocentowego alkoholu. Liczba i rodzaj wypalanych papierosów wiąże się istotnie ze wzrostem zapadalności na NZGDO. Znaczącymi czynnikami ryzyka są także poziom wykształcenia i status społeczno-ekonomiczny: im wyższy poziom wykształcenia, tym mniejsze ryzyko zachorowania. WNIOSKI Zwiększona liczba zachorowań na NZGDO w mikroregionie Mysłowic, Imielina i Chełmu Śląskiego może wiązać się ze zwiększonym spożyciem wysokoprocentowych alkoholi, nadmierną liczbą wypalanych papierosów oraz niskim statusem społeczno-ekonomicznym badanych chorych. W pracy potwierdzono wpływ uznanych czynników ryzyka na częstość zachorowań na NZGDO.

Opis:: The aim of this study was to perform molecular analysis of canine adenovirus 2 (CAV-2) E1B 19K gene fragment isolated from 20 dogs of various breeds (12 males and 8 females aged 1-9 years), with clinical symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, from the Lubelszczyzna region. Nasal swabs were taken from dogs. DNA of CAV-2 was detected using the PCR method in 16 swabs. All PCR products were sequenced, and the obtained sequences were compared with each other and with the sequence of the E1B 19K gene of the CAV-2 strain from an online database of NCBI GenBank: AC 000003. Based on analysis of the obtained sequences, three polymorphic variants of CAV-2 (No.1-3) with homology of 78 - 100% were distinguished. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the most frequently represented polymorphic variant, No. 1, differed from the sequences of polymorphic variant No. 2 with one substitution. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence of the E1B 19K gene of CAV-2 AC 000003 differed from the analogous sequences of representatives of variant No. 1 with 44 nucleotide and 19 amino acid substitutions. The small number of nucleotide differences in the E1B 19K CAV-2 gene among the examined own isolates, compared with AC 000003, suggest that the infections in dogs were caused by a relatively genetically stable virus which occurs in eastern Poland.

Opis:: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and often presents with flu-like symptoms that can have varying degrees, which may subsequently lead to acute respiratory distress (ARDS). The genetic material of the virus in samples of respiratory secretions is identified by way of basic diagnostic tests. Due to the altered course of the respiratory tract, patients after total laryngectomy require special attention in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We present a case of a patient after laryngectomy who obtained different results of COVID-19 tests depending on the site of sampling.
Choroba COVID-19 wywoływana jest przez wirusa SARS-CoV-2 i często manifestuje się objawami grypopodobnymi, które mogą przebiegać z różnym nasileniem. W dalszej kolejności może prowadzić do ostrej niewydolności oddechowej (ARDS). Podstawowe testy diagnostyczne identyfikują materiał genetyczny wirusa w próbkach wydzielin z dróg oddechowych. Chorzy po laryngektomii całkowitej z uwagi na zmieniony przebieg dróg oddechowych wymagają szczególnej uwagi pod względem diagnostyki w kierunku zakażenia SARS-CoV-2. W naszej pracy przedstawiamy przypadek pacjenta po laryngektomii, u którego uzyskano różne wyniki testów w kierunku COVID-19 w zależności od miejsca pobrania próbek.

Opis:: This article presents selected physical diagnostic methods used in otorhinolaryngology and results of their application. In addition to the applications of methods using the capabilities of selective sensors, selected methods of hybrid diagnostics were also presented - for assessment of parameters of respiratory processes, with polysomnography as an example of using both typical diagnostic methods dedicated to otolaryngology, as well as standard EEG and ECG methods. It has been shown that in some special cases of respiratory disorders, measurements of the air flow in the respiratory tract can be supplemented with pressure measurements in selected positions within the airways. The presented optical methods and diagnostic systems are very often used in the diagnosis of diseases not specific for otolaryngology occurring in the area of the head and neck. The presented material is the second part of the study discussing both standard and widely used diagnostic methods. All presented methods are dedicated to otolaryngology. This text is a continuation of the material published in No 4 of 2021 [1].

Opis:: The rapidly developing measurement techniques and emerging new physical methods are frequently used in otolaryngological diagnostics. A wide range of applied diagnostic methods constituted the basis for the review study aimed at presenting selected modern diagnostic methods and achieved diagnostic results to a wider group of users. In this part, the methods based on measuring the respiratory parameters of patients were analysed. Respiration is the most important and necessary action to support life and its effective duration. It is an actual gas exchange in the respiratory system consisting of removing CO2 and supplying O2. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, and an efficient respiratory tract allows for effective ventilation. The disruption in the work of the respiratory system leads to measurable disturbances in blood saturation and, consequently, hypoxia. Frequent, even short-term, recurrent hypoxia in any part of the body leads to multiple complications. This process is largely related to its duration and the processes that accompany it. The causes of hypoxia resulting from impaired patency of the respiratory tract and/or the absence of neuronal respiratory drive can be divided into the following groups depending on the cause: peripheral, central and/or of mixed origin. Causes of the peripheral form of these disorders are largely due to the impaired patency of the upper and/or lower respiratory tract. Therefore, early diagnosis and location of these disorders can be considered reversible and not a cause of complications. Slow, gradually increasing obstruction of the upper respiratory tract (URT) is not noticeable and becomes a slow killer. Hypoxic individuals in a large percentage of cases have a shorter life expectancy and, above all, deal with the consequences of hypoxia much sooner.
