- Pneumonia is a significant health issue in Japan, particularly among the elderly, with an increase in aspiration pneumonia (AP) cases noted in hospitalized patients aged 20 and older during 2019.
- The study analyzed data from 1,800 hospitalized pneumonia patients, revealing that 79% were over 70 years old and showing a rise in the proportion of AP cases as age increased.
- AP patients exhibited higher rates of comorbidities, longer hospital stays, and greater mortality, with interventions for swallowing issues benefiting in-hospital survival rates.

- A 79-year-old Japanese woman experienced left nasal bleeding due to a rare case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma that had spread to her left sphenoid sinus, 15 years after a previous nephrectomy for the same type of cancer.
- Imaging tests (CT and MRI) identified a tumor in the sphenoid sinus, and a thorough endoscopic resection was performed without any preoperative embolization.
- The pathological analysis confirmed it was metastatic renal cell carcinoma of clear cell type, and after surgery, the patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis over the following 36 months.
