OBJECTIVE: To review the presentation and evaluation of laryngotracheoesophageal clefts as well as their treatment modalities, especially endoscopic closure. STUDY DESIGN: retrospective case series. METHODS: All patients treated for laryngotracheoesophageal clefts in our clinic during the last 15 years were included. Analysis of preoperative data, surgical success and functional outcome was performed. RESULTS: A total of 18 patients were included in our study. Cleft distribution was: type I (n=1), type II (n=3), type IIIa (n=5), type IIIb (n=8) and type IVa (n=1). All clefts were closed endoscopically by CO2 laser repair except for two patients who benfited from open surgery (one type I, one type IIIb). 7 of our 18 patients (39%) experienced a complication necessitating reoperation. Surgical treatment of LTEC allowed cessation of feeding tube assistance and artificial ventilation in 47% and 42% of patients respectively. CONCLUSION: Surgical treatement of laryngotracheoesophageal clefts remains a complex procedure with a high rate of morbidity for high grade clefts. Post-surgical difficulties in feeding and breathing are associated with concomitant congenital anomalies. Endoscopic repair is a successful technique for treating up to grade IIIa laryngeal clefts. Further investigation is needed to assess the best approach for treating longer clefts.

Object: The purpose of the study was to assess the role of Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) in secondary trigeminal neuralgia (TN) caused by space-occupying lesions. Methods: From July 2010 till January 2015, 17 patients had GKS for secondary TN caused by intracranial lesions. The primary outcome was tumor control. The secondary outcomes were the alleviation of pain and the eventual secondary effects. Covariates were the age, duration of symptoms, duration till alleviation etc. Results: The mean age in this series was 63.3 years (range 39-79). The mean follow-up period was 1.85 years (range 0.5-3). Nine (52.9%) were meningiomas, five (29.4%) trigeminal schwannomas, two (11.8%) brain metastases and one (5.9%) arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Eight were located on the right side and nine on the left side. The mean duration of TN was 13.5 months (range 0.5-160). Follow-up was available for 16 patients (94.1%). Pain alleviation appeared after a mean time of 4.6 months (1-11) in 15 patients (88.2%). Five (29.4%) patients completely stopped medication in a mean time of 7 months (range 1-13) and three (17.6%) decreased it at half of the initial doses. No patient developed new hypoesthesia or other cranial nerve complication. The marginal doses for meningiomas and trigeminal schwannomas were 12 Gy (12-14), for metastasis 20 (20-20) and for AVM 24 Gy. The mean target volume was 1.84 cc (range 0.12-8.10). The mean prescription isodose volume was 2.65 cc (0.19-11.90). The mean maximal diameter was 19.9 (range 9-36). The mean number of isocenters was 14.2 (4-27). The mean duration was 76.9 minutes (range 25-172). The mean conformity, selectivity, Paddick and gradient index were: 0.99 (range 0.955-1), 0.701 (range 0.525-0.885), 0.694 (range 0.525-0.885) and 2.904 (range 2.654-3.371). At last follow-up, tumor decreased in 10 (58.8%) patients, was stable in 6 (35.3%) and increased in one (5.9%), the latest at 6 months. Conclusions: Gamma Knife surgery is safe and effective in treating intracranial lesions presenting with secondary TN. The initial pain freedom response was close to 90%, while having no secondary effect. Pain alleviation is achieved even in the absence of a volume variation of the lesions.

In this paper we report the synthesis of biologically active compounds through a [3+4] cycloaddition reaction to produce the main frame structure, followed by several conventional transformations. The 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one (11) obtained from a [3+4] cycloaddition reaction was converted into 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8 -oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one (13) in 46% yield. This was further converted into the alcohols 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3 alpha-ol (14), 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8 -oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3beta-ol (15), 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-3-butyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3 alpha-ol (17), 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-3-hexyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3 alpha-ol (18) and 1,2alpha,4alpha,5-tetramethyl-3-decyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3 alpha-ol (19). Dehydration of 17, 18 and 19 with thionyl chloride in pyridine resulted in the alkenes 20, 21 and 22 in ca. 82% - 89% yields from starting alcohols. The herbicidal activity of the compounds synthesized was evaluated at a concentration of 100 µg g-1. The most active compound was 21 causing 42,7% inhibition against Cucumis sativus L.

A reação de cicloadição [4+3] entre o furano e o cátion oxialílico, gerado in situ a partir da 2,4-dibromopentan-3-ona, forneceu o 2alfa,4alfa-dimetil-8-oxabiciclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ona (1). A oxidação catalítica do oxabiciclo 1 com tetróxido de ósmio em presença de peróxido de hidrogênio em excesso levou à formação do acetonídeo 10, a partir do qual foram obtidos os álcoois 2, 11-15, com rendimentos de 23-86%. O tratamento dos álcoois 11-13 com cloreto de tionila, em presença de piridina, resultou nos respectivos alquenos 17 (94%), 18 (89%) e 19 (80%). A atividade herbicida dos compostos foi avaliada sobre o desenvolvimento do sistema radicular de Sorghum bicolor L. e Cucumis sativus L., nas concentrações de 100 e 250 ppm.
