Background: Acute and chronic sinusitis in children and adults can spread to the orbit. Oral flora has been seen in orbital infections, but the extent of synergy between pathogens in such infections remains unknown.
Methods: A retrospective case series of patients with complicated sinusitis that involved the orbit from acute sinusitis who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital from January 2000 to December 2014 and who had surgical cultures obtained.
Introduction: Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the nasal cavity is a rare tumor, and here we describe the first case of EMC of the nasal cavity presenting with epiphora. A case presentation and review of the literature is provided.
Methods: A case report is described of a 63-year-old man who presented with unilateral epiphora and was found via a thorough history and physical examination to have a nasal tumor.
Article Synopsis
- Behavioral responses to temperature are essential for survival, with animals showing strong temperature preferences that help them avoid extreme conditions and maintain optimal body heat.
- Recent studies on Drosophila (fruit flies) indicate that thermal preference involves both internal (like TRPA1) and peripheral (like GR28B(D) gustatory receptor) sensory systems, depending on the thermal gradient they are exposed to.
- The discovery of GR28B(D) as a peripheral warmth sensor reveals a new type of thermosensory molecule and suggests a functional division between internal and external temperature detection, which may allow for better adaptability to different temperature environments.
