Background: To determine if face, head, or neck burns increases risk of persistent sleep disordered breathing (SDB) or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after adenotonsillectomy.
Methods: The TriNetX database was used to gather data for patients who had face, head, or neck burn including mouth and pharynx and history of sleep study with adenotonsillectomy. A comparison of persistent SDB or OSA was done between cohort 1, a group with sleep study and adenotonsillectomy after burn injury, and cohort 2, a group with treatment before a burn.
Objective: With altered sense of taste being a common symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), our objective was to investigate the presence and distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) within the tongue over the course of infection.
Methods: Golden Syrian hamsters were inoculated intranasally with SARS-CoV-2 and tongues were collected at 2, 3, 5, 8, 17, 21, 35, and 42 days post-infection (dpi) for analysis. In order to test for gross changes in the tongue, the papillae of the tongue were counted.
Concomitantly Diagnosed Disseminated Infection and Hairy Cell Leukemia With Review of Pathophysiology.
J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep
May 2024
Article Synopsis
- This text discusses a case of a 31-year-old man simultaneously diagnosed with Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL) and a severe non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, noting that the exact causes of this association are still unknown.
- The patient presented symptoms like rash, low blood cell counts, and swollen lymph nodes, with both HCL and the infection diagnosed through advanced medical testing.
- Despite successful chemotherapy for HCL, the infection persisted for six months before being effectively treated with a combination of antibiotics, underscoring the need for more research into the relationship between HCL and these types of infections for better management in the future.
