Article Synopsis
- Alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for head and neck cancer (HNC), and the role of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes, particularly ADH3 polymorphism, was examined through a comprehensive meta-analysis.
- A systematic search across multiple databases identified 27 relevant studies, analyzing genotype frequencies and the association of ADH3 variations with HNC risk among different populations.
- Despite finding that ADH3 polymorphism may not significantly affect overall HNC risk, the analysis highlighted a higher risk in Asian populations and a potential protective effect for pharyngeal cancer subtypes.
Pulmonary hydatid cysts (PHC) and their complications are still a health concern in endemic countries. Here we described a 17-year-old male presented with a large PHC with a spontaneous rupture. He developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation.
