Our study especially aimed to focus on and report the long-term outcomes of a specific group other than all patients with obstructive salivary gland disease who were treated by sialendoscopy.

Therefore, the voice quality may be affected by the thyroid gland disease, and some of the symptoms that are referred to in literature regarding hypothyroidism are loss of vocal range; reduced voice frequency, especially in women; vocal fatigue; hoarseness; low voice; and decreased voice intensity [23].

Objectives: The retrosternal goiter (RSG), which can be defined by different classification and its incidence between 2% and 26% of all thyroidectomized patients, is a thyroid gland disease. Our aim was to classify RSG cases with a couple of different ways, which we have detected in computed tomography (CT) imaging of the thorax.

There is ample evidence which articulates that human milk reflects a diverse and feasible microbial community, although it is secreted by a healthy lactating mother with no signs and symptom of infection or other mammary gland disease. Somehow, variations are observed in the microbial profiling, which may be due to behavioral, environmental or genetic differences or as a consequence of methodological variation (i.e.
