Article Synopsis
- Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are rare immune conditions marked by high levels of eosinophils in the blood, with the idiopathic subtype (I-HES) being particularly hard to diagnose due to varied symptoms and overlap with other diseases.
- Diagnosing HES is complicated by the lack of specific tests, the need for referrals to various specialists, and the absence of a standard treatment approach, highlighting the need for better clinician awareness.
- The review emphasizes the importance of increasing understanding among healthcare providers and proposes a new multidisciplinary model to improve patient care and address the challenges faced in managing HES.
Adherence to treatment is essential in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) are the first-line therapy, followed by systemic corticosteroids and surgery if needed. In cases of refractory disease, biologics are added to conventional treatment, making adherence to INCS crucial in assessing eligibility for these targeted therapies.

It is currently indicated for the treatment of asthma, moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Eosinophilia has been reported as a potential adverse event in treated patients.

Introduction: Subglottic cysts (SGCs) are a rare cause of laryngeal stenosis that mainly seem to affect preterm infants with an intubation history.
Purpose: To review the related literature and compare different management protocols for patients presenting SGCs, as well as briefly report our clinical case treated at Verona University Hospital by Pediatric Airways Team.
Methods: The articles resulting from a PubMed and MEDLINE search were analysed and selected using previously established criteria.
Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate adaptive immune responses to cancer cells by activating naive T lymphocytes. 6-sulfo LacNAc(+) DCs (slanDCs) represent a distinct population of circulating and tissue proinflammatory DCs, whose role in cancer immune surveillance is unknown. Herein, by screening a large set of clinical samples, we demonstrate accumulation of slanDCs in metastatic tumour-draining lymph nodes (M-TDLN) from carcinoma patients.
