Adenocarcinoma ex-goblet carcinoid (ADA ex-GCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of goblet cell carcinoid, a distinct tumor of the appendix characterized by both neuroendocrine and glandular differentiation. Patients often present with chronic abdominal pain or symptoms of acute appendicitis. Right hemicolectomy is the primary mode of treatment, and prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy is recommended in post-menopausal women due to the tumor's propensity of transcoelemic spread, especially to the ovaries.

- The study aimed to assess how different types of ear specialists treat Ménière's disease and the effectiveness of various treatment options.
- A survey sent to members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology revealed a low response rate, highlighting a lack of consensus on effective management strategies, particularly between generalists and neurotologists.
- Results indicated neurotologists use a broader range of medications and perform surgeries more frequently than general otolaryngologists, suggesting a need for clearer treatment guidelines for Ménière's disease.
The purposes of this review were to: 1) determine the attrition rates for exposure with response prevention (ERP) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), 2) compare them to those in other treatments for OCD, and 3) identify predictors of ERP attrition. A systematic literature search of randomized controlled trials for ERP for OCD yielded 21 studies, representing 1400 participants. Attrition data were extracted for individual treatment conditions.

- Social networking services (SNS) are increasingly used by professionals, including medical doctors, to connect with clients and patients.
- A study involving 250 students evaluated how different types of SNS profiles (professional, healthy personal, and unhealthy personal) influenced perceptions of a doctor's professionalism using the First Impressions of Medical Professionalism (FIMP) scale.
- Results showed that profiles with healthy personal content were viewed as the most professional, while unhealthy personal profiles were seen as the least professional; female doctors consistently received higher ratings regardless of profile type.
