Recently major efforts have been made to define the oligometastatic setting, but for head and neck cancer (HNC) limited data are available. We aimed to evaluate outcome of oligometastatic HNC treated with Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as metastasis-directed therapy.

We analyzed patients treated with SBRT on a maximum of five…[Read more]

Despite no evident alterations in egg volume and quantity in the area with pesticide use, our findings suggest further studies on the structure and composition of eggshell and yolk in order to assess the effects of pesticides on their viability.The insects’ infestation decreases the nutritive value of the stored grains and causes losses in its…[Read more]

These observations underscore the importance of the inter-population molecular heterogeneity of prostate cancer. In addition, we examined the expression of UGT2B4 in 497 prostate cancer patients derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We found that high expression of UGT2B4 was associated with low-grade prostate cancer and upregulation of…[Read more]

Trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis is a prevalent condition with a preponderance to women. Most cases are asymptomatic, but typical symptoms are pain, reduced dexterity, and functional decline. Trapeziectomy is the most common surgical treatment in the United Kingdom for patients who remain significantly symptomatic despite nonoperative measures,…[Read more]

Transbronchial diagnosis of unexposed lung tumours is challenging in clinical practice. Although modified transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is used for this purpose, the diagnostic yield is unsatisfactory. In such cases, conventional endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath and transbronchial biopsy (TBB) is also ineffective. We…[Read more]

Despite improvements in localisation techniques and surgical advances, some patients with insulinoma will not be cured by surgery or may not be suitable for surgery. Medical management with diazoxide is an option for such cases. This case report details 27 years of successful management of insulinoma using diazoxide. It has been effective and…[Read more]

Investigating the neurobiological mechanism of suicidal ideation (SI) in major depressive disorder (MDD) may be beneficial to prevent the suicidal behavior. Mounting evidence showed that habenula contributed to the etiology of MDD. The habenula is a key brain region that links the forebrain to midbrain, crucial for the processing of reward and…[Read more]

There is concern that transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) may result in poorer functional outcomes as compared to laparoscopic TME (LaTME). These concerns arise from the fact that TaTME entails both a low anastomosis and prolonged dilatation of the anal sphincter from the transanal platform.

This paper aimed to assess the…[Read more]

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute syndrome accompanied with decompensation of cirrhosis, organ failure with high 28-day mortality rate. Systemic inflammation is the main feature of ACLF, and poor outcome is closely related with exacerbated systemic inflammatory responses. It is well known that severe systemic inflammation is an…[Read more]
