Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms present a significant clinical challenge, particularly when located near the renal arteries. In cases of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysms, the main stent graft may occlude the renal arteries, disrupting blood supply. To prevent this, two 'chimney' stent grafts can be implanted to maintain renal artery perfusion.

Background: We planned this study considering that complications of deep neck infections can be seriously life threatening.

Aim: To raise awareness that introthoracic complications and necrotizing fasciitis are causes of serious mortality and morbidity.

Methods: This study was carried out with the participation of 188 patients who were treated at Mersin University Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at January 1, 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • Excessive fructose intake during pregnancy is linked to negative outcomes like fetal losses and low birth weight, highlighting its potential risks.
  • A study on rat embryos revealed that increased fructose levels (starting at 1 mM) led to reduced protein synthesis, hindered vascular development, and heightened cell death (apoptosis).
  • Significant growth and developmental issues, including heart and limb defects, were observed in embryos exposed to fructose, particularly at higher concentrations (5 mM and above).

Article Synopsis
  • Internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms, although rare, can lead to serious health issues like nerve compression and severe bleeding if they rupture.
  • Symptoms often include neurologic signs, and detection may reveal pulsatile masses in the ear or nasal cavity.
  • Diagnostic imaging, particularly cerebral digital subtraction angiography, is crucial before any surgical intervention, as demonstrated in a case study of a 48-year-old woman experiencing severe nosebleeds due to an ICA aneurysm.

Article Synopsis
  • Tongue abscess (TA) is a rare but serious condition that requires prompt treatment, primarily through surgical drainage.
  • This study reviews the clinical and lab findings of 11 patients with TA, highlighting their demographics and the locations of the abscesses.
  • The research underscores the urgent need for interventions, such as tracheotomy, due to the risk of airway obstruction, and notes challenges in treating abscesses found in unexpected areas.
