November 2024
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a slowly progressive disease most often affecting older patients. Although CLL is typically identified on routine blood work, unique manifestations of the disease have been described both at the time of diagnosis and in the setting of indolent disease. We present on 3 CLL patients with previously stable oncologic disease who presented with orbital pathologies including dacryocystitis, epiphora, proptosis, and diplopia.

Background: Migraine is commonly comorbid with elevated depressive symptoms. MBCT reduces depressive symptoms and shows promise to reduce migraine-related disability.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate hydroxyapatite as a potential safe and effective alternative material for repairing defects related to cholesteatoma, specifically looking at tegmen defects and labyrinthine fistulas.
- - From 2013 to 2022, 22 patients who underwent cholesteatoma surgery using hydroxyapatite were reviewed, showing low recurrence and recidivism rates of 18.2% and 4.5%, respectively, which were comparable to surgeries without hydroxyapatite.
- - The findings suggested hydroxyapatite is a safe option with minimal postoperative complications and no increase in cholesteatoma recurrence, though further research is necessary to support broader application.
Issue Addressed: One third of cancers are potentially preventable by modifying key risk factors that arise during adolescence. To help inform prevention efforts, we investigated adolescents' understanding of cancer risk factors, symptoms and signs and barriers to help-seeking.
Methods: Nine focus groups were conducted with purposefully sampled, binary-gendered friendship groups of 12 to 17-year-olds.
Overview: This meta-ethnography synthesizes the findings of seven qualitative studies on the experiences of people who are incarcerated in accessing mental health care with a goal of better understanding the scope of these experiences and identifying gaps in custodial mental health care. Noblit and Hare's meta-ethnographic approach was used.
Findings: Five themes were identified: stressful incarceration environments, lack of resources, care is not patient centered, lack of trust, and the value of therapeutic relationships.
