In recent times, there has been a tremendous increase in our knowledge and understanding of the molecular mechanisms, genetic and epigenetic interactions, and epidemiological and aetiopathogenic factors involved in the development, progression and metastatic spread of head and neck cancers (HNCs). Improvements in diagnostics and imaging techniques, advancements in various treatment modalities, and incorporation of quality-of-life and functional outcomes in HNCs have also significantly influenced the management and outcomes of the disease. This book brings together a broad, comprehensive and balanced view of current approaches to the multidisciplinary management and underlying biology of HNCs...
This book is a quick reference guide to the radiology of head & neck tumors for busy clinicians. With the wide range of imaging modalities currently available and frequent upgrades in technology and image resolution, selecting the best modality for individual cases is not always easy. Balancing benefits of the investigation ordered with the costs incurred and inconvenience/risks as well as the clinician’s familiarity with that particular imaging modality can be a daunting task. To aid in these decisions, this clearly written book includes case studies and focuses on the two most frequently used imaging modalities for head & neck tumors – CT and MR, presenting illustrations of clinical conditions, and where possible showing CT and MR images side-by-side for comparison.
Post-laryngectomy rehabilitation has generated tremendous interest in recent times owing to the development of innovative prosthetic devices and other appliances aimed at making life more comfortable for the laryngectomee. This book addresses not only the very essential function of voice rehabilitation, but also other equally important aspects such as pulmonary, olfactory and psycho-social rehabilitation as well as quality-of-life issues after laryngectomy. With more and more ENT, head and neck surgeons performing laryngectomies on a regular basis, this book aims to provide both the trainees and practicing surgeons a comprehensive and practical guide to the total rehabilitation of these patients.
This practical handbook adopts a unique symptom-wise approach to the commonly encountered emergencies in ENT. The author has largely drawn from her own experiences of working as an ENT specialist in both a tertiary care centre as well as a secondary care hospital. The emphasis is on accurate bedside history-taking and examination for making a diagnosis. Where applicable, the abnormality to be identified on an X-ray or CT scan has been highlighted and illustrated. The acute management of emergency cases is supplemented with recommendations for further investigation and treatment. The book is amply illustrated and has numerous flow charts and boxes for systematic evaluation and treatment. This handbook should be useful not only for undergraduate and postgraduate students of ENT but also for the practising ENT specialist. It will also serve as a handy reference guide to the lone doctor practising in a small centre with limited facilities.

Apollo Hospitals is back with yet another fifty stories of heroic acts, kind gestures, and forging relationships with patients that redefine the medical field. The heroes in surgical masks are here again to take you on an emotional journey. As nurses, doctors, administrators and staff members carry out small good deeds for patients, they prove that they care deeply, and most of all, that medical science is humane.

Today, when healing has become a lot more than physical treatment, when mental health is gaining ground, Apollo and its team all over India is certainly on the path to embracing holistic healing techniques.
