Iatrogenic pharyngo-esophageal diverticulum post-anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A case report and review of literature.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report a case of iatrogenic pharyngoesophageal diverticulum post-anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery, its management and management of postoperative complications. We also did a thorough review of literature about iatrogenic pharyngoesophageal diverticulum which is a rarely encountered complication occurring after a commonly performed surgery; ACDF.

Methods: Here we describe a case of iatrogenic pharyngoesophageal diverticulum post-ACDF surgery.

How media coverage news and global uncertainties drive forecast of cryptocurrencies returns?

This paper aims to investigate the impact of global financial, economic, and gold price uncertainty indices (VIX, EPU, and GVZ) and investor sentiment based on media coverage news on the returns of Bitcoin and Ethereum during the COVID-19 pandemic. We adopt an asymmetric framework based on the Quantile-on-Quantile approach, which examines the quantiles of the cryptocurrency returns, investor sentiment, and the various uncertainties indicators. The empirical findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted cryptocurrency returns.

Discrete fracture network model analysis of the effects of fluid transport on the morphology of a cluster of activated fractures.

Convective transport in low-permeability rocks can be enhanced by the injection of a pressurized fluid to activate preexisting weak planes (fractures). These fractures are initially closed, but fluid-pressure-induced slippage creates void space that allows for fluid flow. The Coulomb-Mohr criterion yields a critical pressure required to open each of the fractures.

Telegram as a Tool to Supplement Online Medical Education During COVID-19 Crisis.

Introduction: Instant Messaging Applications are known for their potential to enhance learning. However, to date, there has been little investigation into the implications of the 'Telegram' application for online medical education and training.

Aim: This study explores the potential benefits and disadvantages of integrating Telegram into undergraduate medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recurrent extensive plunging ranula: A rare case.

Plunging ranula (PR) is a cystic mass presenting on the lateral side of the neck with or without a history of the usual presentation of an intraoral lesion. "PR" is recognized as an uncommon lesion that has been found predominantly in the third decade of life mostly in males. However, the exact prevalence of "PR" is not yet known.

Salivary duct carcinoma of accessory parotid.

Accessory parotid gland (APG) is seen in around 21%-56% of individuals. Tumors of accessory parotid are uncommon with an incidence rate of 1%-8% of all parotid tumors. Ductal carcinoma of APG is rare, so no reported incidence was seen in the literature.

Eagle's syndrome with facial palsy.

Eagle's syndrome (ES) is a rare disease in which the styloid process is elongated and compressing adjacent structures. We describe a rare presentation of ES in which the patient presented with facial palsy. Facial palsy as a presentation of ES is very rare.
