Introduction: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant tumor originating from the olfactory neuroepithelium, typically within the sinonasal cavity. Cases of ONB originating outside of the olfactory cleft area are extremely rare and are referred to as "ectopic" (eONB), in contrast to "orthotopic" tumors (oONB). ONB has been associated with paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs), including the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

This research explored amputees' perspectives on their preparation for amputation surgery and how patients can be better supported for this procedure. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and online qualitative questionnaires with 17 amputees who underwent upper- or lower-limb amputation within the United Kingdom.

- - Occipital horn syndrome (OHS) is a rare genetic disease linked to a defective ATP7A gene, affecting the copper transport system and primarily impacting musculoskeletal and connective tissues.
- - A male neonate diagnosed with OHS showed distinctive symptoms such as occipital exostosis, skin laxity at the nape, and widely opened skull sutures shortly after birth.
- - This case is significant as it stresses the need for thorough investigation of early symptoms and demonstrates the essential role of early diagnosis and collaborative care in improving outcomes for patients with OHS.
Purpose: Outcomes after primary surgery for advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are poor. We tested whether induction chemotherapy (IC) can improve disease control or organ preservation.
Patients And Methods: A phase II trial evaluated previously untreated patients with stage II-IV, M0 sinonasal SCC.
