Abstract
Tonsillar focal diseases (TFDs) are defined as "diseases caused by organic and/or functional damage in organs distant from tonsil, and the disease outcome is improved by tonsillectomy." Although several reports and reviews have shown the efficacy of tonsillectomy for TFDs, no guidelines for the clinical management of the diagnosis and treatment of TFDs have been reported. Therefore, the Society of Stomato-pharyngology established a committee to guide the clinical management of patients with TFDs, and the original guide was published in May 2023. This article summarizes the English version of the manuscript. We hope that the concept of TFDs will spread worldwide, and that one as many patients with TFDs will benefit from tonsillectomy.

J Therm Biol 2024; 123:103920. [PMID: 39003832 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2024.103920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Abdominal surgeries can sometimes lead to the formation of intra-abdominal adhesions, which may result in severe complications. Despite the availability of several diagnostic procedures, thermography has not been used for identifying intra-abdominal adhesions. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to assess abdominal temperature changes in rats with experimentally induced intra-abdominal adhesions. A total of 48 female rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 12 each): Control (Group C), Laparotomy (Group Lap), Peritoneal Button Creation (Group PBC), and Uterus horn (Group UH). Skin temperature of abdominal region was measured before the procedure (T0) and daily thereafter until day 7 (T7). On day 7, all rats were euthanized for macroscopic evaluation, adhesion scoring, histopathological, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence analyses. Significant differences were observed between Group C and Group PBC and Group UH at T5, while at T6 and T7, there was a difference between Group C and Group Lap, Group PBC, and Group UH in abdominal skin temperature (P < 0.05). The highest level of inflammation, angiogenesis, IL-1β, and VEGF were observed in Group PBC followed by Group UH, Group Lap, and Group C (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in adhesion formation between Group C and Groups Lap, PBC, and UH (P = 0.02). However, no significant difference was found in adhesion scores between Groups Lap, PBC, and UH (P = 0.25). A significant difference was found in mean abdominal skin temperature between adhesion scores 4 and 0, 1, and 2 (P < 0.05), while no significant difference was observed between adhesion scores 3 and 4 (P > 0.05). In conclusion, the current study suggests that the presence of intra-abdominal adhesions is associated with an increase in abdominal temperature, and this increase is correlates with the severity of adhesion.

Abstract
Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder predominantly affecting the head and neck. A case of KD in a 30-year-old man is reported. Thermography was useful for evaluating the activity of the condition.
