Globus, a persistent or intermittent sensation of a lump or foreign body in the throat, is a well-defined clinical symptom. Though it is non-painful, it can be long-lasting, difficult to treat, and prone to recurrence.

Globus is a common condition, accounting for about 4% of new referrals to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) clinics, and is

2024/09/23

Approximately 1 in 10 adults will experience pain or discomfort in the mid-facial region, with a higher prevalence among females and young adults. Understandably, many patients attribute this pain to sinus issues, given the proximity of the sinuses to the face. However, nasal endoscopy and CT scans have shown that chronic sinus infections are not as common a cause of facial pain as one might think. Sinusitis typically causes significant pain only when accompanied by thick nasal drainage, loss of

Barrett’s oesophagus is a common condition, named after the Australian born thoracic surgeon Norman Barrett who practised in England and laid the foundation descriptions of this condition but incorrectly concluded the abnormal columnar tissue lining was embryonic in origin due to the presence of a congenitally shortened oesophagus leading to a tubular portion of stomach being trapped in the chest.
