    Notes: Abstract Caustic burns of the upper aerodigestive tract continue to be a significant clinical problem. However, the available literature uncommonly mentions changes affecting the larynx. We could find only one publication in which four cases of high hypopharyngeal stenosis were described in detail and where the functional outcome of the laryngeal function was stated as partially saved. We describe here a case of total retrocricoid stenosis in a 28-year-old woman that was caused by lye ingestion. A life-saving gastroesophagectomy was performed by the Department of General Surgery. Reconstruction of the esophagus was carried out with mobilized right colon, which was meticulously sutured circumferentially behind the arytenoids and on the prevertebral fascia. The anatomy of the larynx and its nerve supply were scrupulously maintained intact. We believe that our patient’s rehabilitation was due mainly to an intensive 18-month program of care, following which all laryngeal functions recovered with normal voice and swallowing patterns.

    Notes: Abstract Neutron-deficient isotopes with Z=21 to 26 have been produced as projectile-like fragments of an intense58Ni GANIL beam of 69 MeV/nucleon. The nuclei selected by the upgraded LISE3 spectrometer were identified and implanted in a silicon detector telescope. The43Cr,47Fe and46Fe isotopes were identified for the first time whereas45Fe,45Mn,44Mn and42V were not observed, indicating probable instability of these nuclei against particle emission. Measurements of the half-lives of43Cr and46Mn have been performed and the analysis of their measured beta-delayed proton spectra has given, through the isobaric multiplet mass equation, an empirical estimation of their masses. Half-lives of44Cr,43V,47Fe and46Fe have also been measured. A discussion of various mass predictions for nuclei at the proton drip-line is given.
