Article Synopsis
- The study explored how human vocal fold fibroblasts (hVFF) interact with macrophages in the presence of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and vibration, focusing on vocal fold inflammation.
- Researchers cultured hVFF with CSE, applying either static or dynamic conditions, and then measured various mRNA and protein levels to assess inflammation.
- Findings revealed that vibration may reduce CSE-induced inflammatory responses in hVFF, suggesting potential mechanisms to address voice disorders linked to smoking-related inflammation.

Chronic venous disease of the lower limbs is a highly prevalent pathology and endovenous thermoablation is the technique of choice for treatment of insufficient saphenous veins. However, there is still controversy about the best management for varicose tributaries. This article reports a case of outpatient treatment of reflux of the small saphenous vein and tributary veins in a 52-year-old female patient with post-thrombotic syndrome complaining of pain and edema in the right lower limb.

- Coccidioidomycosis can lead to serious meningitis, which needs long-term treatment.
- A study examined how pharmacogenomic testing (analyzing genetic variations) could impact treatment outcomes for patients with coccidioidal meningitis.
- Out of 13 patients tested, 11 had genetic variants that influenced antifungal effectiveness, resulting in immediate treatment adjustments and showing that such testing can prevent ineffective or harmful treatments.
CHIVA () is a surgical technique for varicose veins that avoids destroying the saphenous vein and collaterals. In some patients, the flush ligation of saphenous collaterals performed in the CHIVA technique may require more dissection than is desirable. This is especially valid for obese patients and thigh ligations.

- The 2023 Match cycle featured virtual interviews for adult neurology residency programs, but some places offered optional in-person second-look events after the interviews.
- Mayo Clinic wanted to know what applicants thought about these events, so they surveyed those who interviewed there.
- Many applicants enjoyed visiting the campus and meeting residents in person, and about half of those who attended the second-look event changed their opinions on which programs they preferred.
