BMI as a risk factor for the development of chronic rhinosinusitis: a prospective population-based study

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader BMI as a risk factor for the development of chronic rhinosinusitis: a prospective population-based study Via http://link.springer.com/journal/405,European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology,The European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2022 Mar 19. doi: 10.1007/s00405-022-07320-y. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Obesity is a growing, global health problem and previous cross-sectional studies have demonstrated an association between obesity and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). There is, however, a lack of prospective studies regarding the impact of obesity on developing (new-onset) CRS. METHODS: Questionnaire-based data (n = 5769) relating to new-onset CRS and Body Mass Index (BMI) were collected in 2013 and 2018 from the Telemark population study in Telemark, Norway. Odds ratios for the risk of new-onset CRS in 2018 in relation to BMI in 2013 were calculated, adjusted for smoking habits, asthma, gender and age. RESULTS: When comparing the group with normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25) with the obese group (BMI ≥ 30), the odds of new-onset CRS was 53% higher [OR 1.53 (1.11, 2.10)] in the obese group. CONCLUSION: CR S is a multifactorial disease with different phenotypes and it is important to consider obesity when assessing patients with CRS in a clinical setting.

Molecular diagnosis and targeted treatment of advanced follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer in the precision medicine era

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Molecular diagnosis and targeted treatment of advanced follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer in the precision medicine era Via radioactive iodine Cancer Treat Rev. 2022 Mar 15;106:102380. doi: 10.1016/j.ctrv.2022.102380. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Most malignant thyroid tumours are initially treated with surgery or a combination of surgery and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, in patients with metastatic disease, many tumours become refractory to RAI, and these patients require alternative treatments, such as locoregional therapies and/or systemic treatment with multikinase inhibitors. Improvements in our under standing of the genetic alterations that occur in thyroid cancer have led to the discovery of several targeted therapies with clinical efficacy. These alterations include NTRK (neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase) gene fusions, with the tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitors larotrectinib and entrectinib both approved by the European Medicines Agency and in other markets worldwide. Inhibitors of aberrant proteins resulting from alterations in RET (rearranged during transfection) and BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene) have also shown promising efficacy, and so far have received approval by the US Food and Drug Administration. Selpercatinib, a RET kinase inhibitor, was approved for use in Europe in early 2021. With the discovery of multiple actionable targets, it is imperative that effective testing strategies for these genetic alterations are integrated into the diagnostic armamentarium to ensure that patients who could potentially benefit from targeted treatments are identified. In this review, we offer our recommendations on the optimal testing strategies for detecting genetic alterations in thyroid cancer that have the potential to be targeted by molecular therapy. We also discuss the future of treatments for thyroid cancers, including the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, and new generations of targeted treatments that are being developed to counter acquired tumour resistance.

Voice Symptoms and Wellbeing in School Teachers in England

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Voice Symptoms and Wellbeing in School Teachers in England Via Journal of Voice Negative psychological factors such as depression and other common mental disorders have been found to be associated with voice problems in teachers. However, there is little research with teachers that investigates the relationship between positive psychological factors such as wellbeing and voice problems. Although negative and positive mental states are on a continuum of psychological health, research suggests negative and positive effects are not necessarily inversely correlated and therefore need to be investigated separately.

Acute anterior thigh compartment syndrome in Premiership rugby

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Acute anterior thigh compartment syndrome in Premiership rugby Via swallowing exercises BMJ Case Rep. 2022 Mar 15;15(3):e247307. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2021-247307. ABSTRACT A case study of acute compartment syndrome in the anterior lateral thigh of a professional Rugby Union Flanker with no history of trauma is presented. The report covers all details from initial occurrence; medical history; investigations and surgical treatment; manual stimulus and rehabilitation; return to play; challenges and considerations-resulting in a positive outcome. Resultant observations/recomm endations are that investigations should be swift and carefully considered to facilitate surgical intervention via decompressive fasciotomy as required.
