School and Industrial Kitchen Sanitation and Hygiene Practices among HRM Graduates

Kitchen practices such as sanitation and hygiene are crucial precautionary methods in preventing untoward accidents due to carelessness in the kitchen. This study aimed to determine the Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) graduates’ kitchen sanitation and hygiene practices in school to their practices in the industry. There were sixty-seven HRM graduates of the College in Cagayan de Oro City employed in the different hotels, restaurants, and chains who participated as the participants of the study. A snowball sampling technique was used. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to generate the findings. Generally, results show that school kitchen practices have a minimal implication on HRM graduates’ real-life practices in the industry. Among the kitchen practices, only storage is significantly having an impact on HRM graduates’ practices in both school and industry. Thus, the findings of the study call for the need to intensify school kitchen teaching practices in actualizing real concepts and practices of the kitchen industry

Combined anterior cervical spine fusion and total laryngopharyngectomy with free flap reconstruction: A technical note

Background and importance: In complex cases such as dropped head cervical deformity due to post-radiation myopathy, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) could be done for deformity correction. In rare circumstances where there is a concurrent need for a total laryngopharyngectomy (TLP) and ACDF, there is a remarkable corridor for cervical discectomy and fusion from the extensive neck exposure. Clinical presentation: We present the case of a patient with history of primary oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and left parotid carcinoma status post treatment, now with post-radiation laryngeal dysfunction and dropped head cervical spinal deformity. Patient underwent posterior fixation for deformity correction and also to create anterior access for total laryngopharyngectomy (TLP). He then underwent combined TLP with anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap reconstruction and C3-5 ACDF with a vascularized pre-vertebral fascia flap coverage of the spinal hardware. Conclusion: This unique case report is the first of its kind where total laryngopharyngectomy with free flap reconstruction was performed together with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Though complex, such procedures can be performed with satisfactory outcomes in well-established centers
