This study was designed to examine the changes in emergency room visits in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included 11,277 patients who presented to a tertiary care hospital (ER) and an emergency practice (EP) during on-call hours in the first half of 2018, 2019, and 2020. The epidemiologic parameters, diagnoses, and level of urgency were recorded using a four-step scale.

- The study investigates DNA methylation patterns in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), focusing on the BDNF gene, and highlights the differences in methylation between saliva and blood samples.
- Results show significant hypermethylation in the saliva of BPD patients compared to healthy controls, while blood samples did not show this difference.
- After a 12-week psychotherapy intervention, BDNF methylation levels in saliva significantly decreased, suggesting potential reversibility of epigenetic changes with treatment, but more research is needed to confirm these findings and their relevance.
