The diagnosis and staging of head and neck tumors requires proper clinical, endoscopic, and radiological evaluation. Currently, imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) are used for head and neck tumors but are limited in showing involvement of different hypopharyngeal sub-compartments. Several maneuvers have been developed to improve visualization of the head and neck area; however, they demonstrated minimal benefit.

- After surgery to remove the septa and ovulation induction, she successfully conceived but required cervical cerclage, ultimately delivering a healthy baby at term.

- - The study assessed the occurrence and predictors of major bleeding in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and were treated with prasugrel or ticagrelor.
- - Out of 4424 patients, 1.8% experienced significant bleeding after about 14 months, which was linked to higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and death.
- - Older adults (over 75 years) and women were identified as independent risk factors for major bleeding, suggesting a need for personalized antiplatelet therapy strategies in these groups.
