Induction Chemotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

October 2024
There is emerging evidence to suggest the role of induction chemotherapy (IC) in definitive management of locoregionally advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). We evaluated the influence of IC on survival and predictors of its use in SNSCC patients. The 2004 to 2017 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with locoregionally advanced SNSCC (T4/M0).

- This study investigates the risk of developing deep venous thromboembolisms (DVT) in patients who undergo an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for skull base surgery, focusing on the impact of postoperative bedrest.
- A review of 221 patients' records revealed that factors like age, sex, body mass index (BMI), bedrest duration, and other surgical variables were not significant predictors of DVT occurrence.
- The conclusion indicates that temporary bedrest after EEA surgery does not contribute to a higher risk of thromboembolic complications in the immediate postoperative period.
Objective: Establishing benchmarks for length of stay (LOS) may inform strategies to improve resource efficiency, decrease costs, and advance care quality. In this study, the authors characterize postoperative LOS in endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) and elucidate prolonging factors.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted at a tertiary academic center including consecutive adult patients who underwent intradural ESBS with intraoperative CSF leak during primary repair between July 2018 and March 2024.
Background: A pilot simulation was implemented at a private university school of nursing to provide an opportunity for family nurse practitioner (FNP) students to apply their knowledge of assessing and addressing social determinants of health (SDOH).
Method: The Social Needs Screening Tool (SNST), developed by the American Academy of Family Physicians, and SDOH content were incorporated into a tele-health simulation-based learning experience. Using Zoom [Zoom Video Communications, Inc.
