Recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries can occur during thyroid and neck procedures or similar interventions. Immediate nerve repair when possible is preferred to both faciliate the repair and allow timely recovery of the muscle. Here, we report a case of transected left recurrent laryngeal nerve repaired by allograft nerve interposition with excellent return of speaking and singing voice with vocal cord function.

- Obese patients have higher complication rates after breast reconstruction, and this study investigates how bariatric surgery can reduce those risks.
- An analysis of 1,026 patients over five years showed a significant decrease in surgical complications after bariatric surgery, with a reduction in risk from 40.4% to 24.8%.
- Results suggest that even small decreases in BMI before surgery can lead to substantial reductions in complications, highlighting the potential benefits of weight loss interventions for patients seeking breast reconstruction.
Article Synopsis
- * Sites with warmer, wetter conditions and more species generally saw increased biomass, while arid, species-poor areas experienced declines, alongside notable changes in seasonal plant growth patterns.
- * Factors like grazing and nutrient input didn't consistently predict biomass changes, indicating that grasslands are undergoing substantial transformations that could affect food security, biodiversity, and carbon storage, particularly in dry regions.
This study aims to refine our understanding of the inherent heterogeneity in cervical cancer by exploring differential gene expression profiles, immune cell infiltration dynamics, and implicated signaling pathways in the two predominant histological types of cervix carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) and Adenocarcinoma (ADC). Targeted gene expression data that were previously generated from samples of primary cervical cancer were re-analyzed. The samples were grouped based on their histopathology, comparing SCC to ADC.
