Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the roles of circulating mRNAs (VEGF, PTEN, and SOCS1) in the progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) to better understand its molecular mechanisms and identify potential biomarkers for the disease.
  • - Researchers analyzed blood samples from 160 NPC patients and 80 controls, finding higher levels of VEGF and SOCS1 mRNAs in advanced stages of NPC, while PTEN mRNA was significantly decreased.
  • - The results suggest that changes in these mRNAs are linked to NPC progression and could be useful as biomarkers, though further research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in predicting outcomes for NPC patients.

Introduction: Bezold's abscess is a rare complication of chronic suppurative otitis media since the advent of antibiotics. Otitis media can also result from uncommon infections such as tuberculosis, with a diagnosis often delayed due to clinical symptoms that closely resemble other chronic middle ear conditions.

Case Report: We present a case of Bezold's abscess as a complication of primary tuberculous otitis media in a 21-year-old male who reported right-sided neck swelling for four days, accompanied by fever, difficulty opening his mouth, and a history of persistent purulent discharge in both ears for six months that did not respond to topical antibiotics.

Transfusion in the treatment of thalassemia gives rise to iron deposits in many organs. Since there are many obstacles in the use of deferoxamin (DFO) as an iron chelating agent, it is important to find another alternative therapy that can act as iron chelation. The study aims to compare the histopathological pictures of the heart and spleen in iron-induced rats after administration of DFO and nanoparticles of green tea extract.
