Background: Left atrial (LA) remodeling plays a significant role in the progression of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although LA wall thickness (LAWT) has emerged as an indicator of structural remodeling, its impact on AF outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to determine the association between LAWT and AF recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), as well as to evaluate the relationship between LAWT and LA fibrosis.

- A 31-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis was readmitted to the hospital due to fever, joint pain, and skin lesions after her condition had improved.
- Histological tests confirmed she had neutrophilic dermatosis, leading to a diagnosis of bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome (BADAS).

- Actinomycosis is a rare chronic infection primarily affecting areas like the face, lungs, or reproductive system, caused by Actinomyces bacteria.
- The disease leads to symptoms like abscesses, fistulas, and tissue damage, potentially mimicking cancerous conditions.
- A unique case of cutaneous actinomycosis on the forearm occurred without known triggers, but it was successfully treated with long-term antibiotic therapy.
Partial horizontal supracricoid laryngectomy (SCPL) with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) is a conservative surgical alternative for laryngeal cancer in the glottic or supraglottic region. Dysphagia and aspiration are frequently reported consequences of this surgery. We describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx (T2N0M0), who underwent SCPL with CHEP reconstruction.
