An analysis of interobserver variability in the recording of maxillary sinusitis in human osteoarchaeological remains
This study presents the results of the analysis of interobserver variability in the recording of bone changes related to maxil lary sinusitis among three observers within three human osteoarchaeological populations. The results of Cohen's kappa coefficient tests indicated variability in agreement between different observers. The agreement on the presence/absence of maxillary sinusitis in different osteoarchaeological popula tions ranged from κ = 0.433 (“moderate” agreement) to κ = 0.629 (“substantial” agreement). The agreement on the type of bone change present within affected sinuses was often poor, with...

Safety and efficacy of remifentanil target-controlled infusion for conscious sedation in a pregnant woman: a case report
We present the case of a Caucasian 36-year-old woman during her 21st week of pregnancy, with a normal-sized fetus, according to the gestational age on ultrasound exam, and with no additional risk factors. The patient referred to an increasing nasal obstruction associated with rhinorrhea of the left nasal cavity. She also reported episodes of sleep apnea and hyposmia. The patient received a detailed otolaryngological examination, which allowed for identification of a mass within the left nasal cavity. The subsequent nasal endoscopy confirmed a grayish polypoid mass lesion with a multinodular surface occupying the entire lef...

Multiple coexisting variations of skull and cervical spine anatomy in a symptomatic patient - uncommon or uncommonly noticed? A CT-based case study
CONCLUSION: To the best knowledge of the authors, this case report is the first to present such a coexistence of this many various anatomical anomalies, among which some played a crucial part in the chronic sinusitis experienced by the patient. Concurrence of multiple variations in the same anatomical area or functional unit may exacerbate clinical presentation of a patient. Identifying a single anomaly ought to warrant a thorough investigation into any other potentially existing variants.PMID:38445513 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98606 (Source: Folia Morphologica)
