According to the 2011 census, there were 103 million senior citizen i.e about 8.6% of the India’s population. According to data from the U. N Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the proportion of people over 60 will increase from 7.5% in 2010 to 11.1% in 2025. The NSSO 2002 report, the old population is expected to increase to 158.7 million by 2025, rising at a rate that is roughly twice as fast as the general population associated with Perceived Dysphagia, Cognition and Health-Related Quality of Life in Geriatrics populations.Dysphagia is becomes an important common problem for the geriatric population. While Presbyphagia is a term that refers to the distinctive age-related changes that occur in the swallowing mechanism of otherwise healthy older adults. It is well defined that in acutely ill elderly populations, the prevalence and quality-of-life changes associated with dysphagia remain unstable poor health conditions. The present study attempt “To investigate an Inquisitive Exploration on Perceived Dysphagia, Cognition and Health-Related Quality of Life in Geriatrics”.A total of 300 participants were included in the study. The participants within the study were all inhabitants of Pondicherry. The individual with geriatric inclusion was 70 years old and above at the time of participation. Two validated questionnaires were used namely the M.D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) and the general health Short Form-12 survey (SF-12v2) was administered to assess the impact of dysphagia-age related aspects on overall health. Both the questionnaires were self-administered and widely used in assessing cognitive function among the elderly, it includes orientation, attention, memory, language, and visuospatial skills.The study outcome concluded that there is a relatively high prevalence of dysphagia in the community-based geriatric population; significant quality-of-life impairment is a frequent finding. General health measures do not appear to be sensitive to swallowing-related quality of life but finally, individuals may inaccurately ascribe swallowing problems to normal aging, supporting the role of community education about dysphagia in the elderly.","PeriodicalId":166713,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Allied Science","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123593508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This makes the oral cavity one of the most common sites for various benign, premalignant and malignant lesions. These lesions can cause variety of symptoms, leading to severe discomfort in daily life. Oral lesions generally present in the form of ulcer, swelling, discolouration or restricted mouth opening. Hence, the knowledge of all these pathological lesions of oral cavity becomes important in their early diagnosis and effective management. In our current analytical and descriptive study, we studied clinical profile and histopathologic findings of various oral mucosal lesions, in 80 subjects. These lesions were found to be more common in middle aged males of low socioeconomic status. There was strong association between tobacco chewing and smoking with occurrence of premalignant and malignant lesions. Alcohol addiction often coexisted with tobacco consumption; and was found to be weakly associated with only malignant lesions. Aphthous stomatitis and Oral submucous fibrosis were found to be the most common benign and premalignant lesions, respectively. Most common malignant lesion was squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa. History and clinical examination were needed to study the type, site, gross appearance and extent of the lesion. However intra-oral biopsy was gold standard in making accurate diagnosis of these lesions. Knowledge obtained through this clinico-histopathological study was useful to make early diagnosis of oral mucosal lesions for their effective management.","PeriodicalId":166713,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Allied Science","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124203920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogenesis of parathyroid cyst includes the embryological remnant of the 3 or 4 branchial arch with accumulation of colloid material within it. These are classified into functioning and non -functioning depending on whether they are secreting parathyroid hormone and resulting in hypercalcemia. Surgery is indicated in all functioning Parathyroid cysts to alleviate the symptoms of hypercalcemia, larger Parathyroid cysts, and recommended in Parathyroid cysts that recur following more conservative approaches.","PeriodicalId":166713,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Allied Science","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123176385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anaemia is known to suppresses immunity and it was assessed based on iron deficiency. The present study was done to elucidate the correlation of iron deficiency anaemia to chronic and recurrent tonsillitis. A 1 -year observational study was conducted and 100 patients with recurrent tonsillitis were included. Serum iron were estimated by spectrometry. Anemia was assessed based on Hb levels, TIBC and peripheral smears. Spearman’s and Pearson’s correlation Coefficients were used for the statistical analysis. 84% of the patients had a iron deficiency anaemia, 56% had low serum iron, There was a significant corelation between anaemia and low serum iron among the study population, the Spearman’s correlation coefficient r value was 0.824 and the p value was less than 0.05 between iron deficiency anaemia and recurrent tonsillitis with higher grades of hypertrophy and symptoms as well. In order to plan the treatment of tonsillitis and predict the prognosis accurately we need to assess the patient’s immune status, for which serum iron and markers of anaemia can be used. This will be a novel and economical prognostic biomarker which can be embraced in the modern, evidence-based practice of otorhinolaryngology.","PeriodicalId":166713,"journal":{"name":"IP Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Allied Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127775642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
