“…19 Since that time, many small case series have reported comparable oncologic results when TER is compared to CFR for small, carefully selected anterior skull base malignancies. 6,[17][18][19][21][22][23][24][25][26] With the continuous advances in surgical instrumentation, optical aids, and image guidance, TER has evolved as a viable alternative to CFR for select malignancies. Advantages of this approach include superior visualization of difficult areas, such as the frontal recess, sphenoid sinus, orbital apex, pterygomaxillary space, and inferior part of the septum.…”

TER of ASB malignancy is associated with a decreased hospital stay and faster recovery when compared to open CFR. Lower local recurrence rate in the TER group may reflect a discrepancy in histology and clinical stage. We found no significant differences in survival, metastatic, or complication rates in the two groups, whereas patients in the TER group had the added benefit of a desirable cosmetic outcome. Overall, TER seems to be an excellent alternative to CFR in properly selected cases.

“…The continuous advances in endoscopic surgical instrumentation, intraoperative image guidance, and optical aids have led to major improvements in endoscopic skull base surgery and made transnasal endoscopic resection (TER) a viable alternative to CFR. The last decade has witnessed the continuous progression of endoscopic skull base surgery from endoscopic resection of benign sinonasal tumors,14 to endoscopic‐assisted CFR,10, 15, 16 to en bloc resection of sinonasal malignancy purely endoscopically 17–26…”

Depression of the melting temperature by moisture for α‐form crystallites in human hair keratin

DSC thermal analysis has been carried out for human hair samples with various moisture contents to investigate the melting temperature depression behavior of alpha-form crystallites in human hair. This is achieved by adopting a novel technique using silicon oil as the thermal medium, which permits hair samples to retain a range of moisture contents in between completely dry and fully saturated. The results show that the melting temperature of the alpha-form crystallites in human hair varies with moisture content from 205 degrees C for dry hair to 155 degrees C for the hair sample with moisture content of 23%. These experimental results are particularly useful for clarification of the conceptual ambiguities associated with the molecular properties of alpha-helices and alpha-form crystallites. Furthermore, the Flory-Huggins theory was employed to determine the water-helix interaction parameter (chi = 4.5) and the alpha-form crystallinity of human hair (22%), a figure consistent with that obtained by the XRD method (21%).

Efficacy of transnasal endoscopic resection for malignant anterior skull‐base tumors

Patients undergoing TER for tumors of the ASB are more likely to leave the ICU and the hospital earlier than their CFR counterparts. Furthermore, for carefully selected patients undergoing TER, excellent oncologic outcomes with survival and recurrence rates similar to patients undergoing CFR may be achieved. Comparison of oncologic outcomes, however, may be limited by discrepancy in histologic grade and clinical stage between the two groups. Nonetheless, TER seems to be an excellent alternative to CFR in appropriately selected patients.
