Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the demographics, symptoms, treatment, and aftereffects of nasal septal hematoma/nasal septal abscess (NSH/NSA), highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and awareness among healthcare providers.
- A total of 30 studies involving 598 patients were analyzed, revealing that most cases occurred in males (72.1%) with a mean age of 21.6 years, and the average time from trauma to diagnosis was 8.2 days.
- Common symptoms included nasal obstruction (60.3%) and pain (30.0%), with the most frequently identified pathogens and antibiotics prescribed, while long-term effects included nasal deformity in 14.3% of patients.*
A 79-year-old female presented to the emergency department for sudden-onset ocular pain, edema, and erythema around her left eye. She also had a left-sided migraine and frontal fullness for 2 weeks. She had attentive care for the diagnosis of orbital cellulitis and prompt recognition of necrotizing fasciitis.

A 16-year-old black female presented with a 4-month history of significant proptosis and diplopia in the setting of diagnosed Graves disease. The patient underwent 8 infusions of teprotumumab. She had migraines and diplopia that were resolved with treatment.

- A 43-year-old woman with floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) presented with severe ptosis, causing difficulty in driving and chronic eye issues like tearing and crusting.
- She underwent surgical procedures, including a wedge excision and ptosis repair, which initially led to complications that obstructed her vision.
- After a fornix reconstruction, her symptoms improved, and this case highlights the need for further research on complications in younger patients with FES.
Purpose: As of January 26, 2022, the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USLME) step 1 exam went from a scored test to pass-fail step 1 (PFS1). The authors were interested in surveying medical students at a community-based medical school to observe their perceptions of the importance of student research given this recent change.
Method: A Qualtrics survey was disseminated to medical students (years 1-4) via school emails.
A 28-year-old male presented to the emergency room suffering an ocular burn injury from a welding rod. Given the mechanism of injury, severe delayed injury of the ocular adnexa occurred, requiring enucleation, partial exenteration of the superior orbit, and extensive reconstruction. Histopathology of the affected tissue was analyzed.

Recently, we reported that overexpressing the transcription factor Ascl1 in Müller glia (MG) is sufficient to stimulate MG to regenerate functional neurons in the adult mouse retina. However, this process is inefficient, and only a third of the Ascl1-expressing MG generate new neurons.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMüller glia (MG) serve as sources for retinal regeneration in non-mammalian vertebrates. We find that this process can be induced in mouse MG, after injury, by transgenic expression of the proneural transcription factor Ascl1 and the HDAC inhibitor TSA. However, new neurons are generated only from a subset of MG.
