ETU-Net: efficient Transformer and convolutional U-style connected attention segmentation network applied to endoscopic image of epistaxis.

Epistaxis is a typical presentation in the otolaryngology and emergency department. When compressive therapy fails, directive nasal cautery is necessary, which strongly recommended operating under the nasal endoscope if it is possible. Limited by the operator's clinical experience, complications such as recurrence, nasal ulcer, and septum perforation may occur due to insufficient or excessive cautery.

Survival Outcomes Related to Treatment Modalities in Patients With Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background: More patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) in Eastern countries receive surgically inclusive treatment (SIT), while most patients in Western countries receive nonsurgical treatment (NST). The optimal treatment modality for OPSCC patients remains controversial.

Methods: A total of 153 consecutive OPSCC cases diagnosed between 2009 and 2019 in West China Hospital (WCH) and 15,400 OPSCC cases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2000-2017) were obtained.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of MicroRNAs in Metastasis and Recurrence of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Unlabelled: MicroRNAs have been proven to make remarkable differences in the clinical behaviors of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This study aims to systematically analyze whether differential expression levels of microRNAs are related to recurrence or metastasis in patients with HNSCC. A comprehensive search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL was conducted up to July 24, 2021.

Evaluating the prognostic contributions of TNM classifications and building novel staging schemes for middle ear squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: A universally acknowledged cancer staging system considering all aspects of the T-, N-, and M-classifications for middle ear squamous cell carcinoma (MESCC) remains absent, limiting the clinical management of MESCC patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 214 MESCC patients were extracted from the SEER (the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database between 1973 and 2016. The relationships between patient's characteristics and prognoses were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression models.

Clinical outcomes of different treatments and risk factors in patients with otogenic brain abscess, a real-world evidence-based retrospective study.

Background: Otogenic Brain Abscess (OBA) is a life-threatening complication secondary to otitis media, but its appropriate management remains controversial.

Objectives: To understand the demographic characteristics, management, and variables that affect the outcomes of patients with OBA based on our experiences over 11 years.

Material And Methods: Clinical data were collected for 41 patients.

Development of direct competitive biomimetic immunosorbent assay based on quantum dot label for determination of trichlorfon residues in vegetables.

A direct competitive biomimetic immunosorbent assay method based on molecularly imprinted polymer was developed for the determination of trichlorfon. A CdSe/ZnS quantum dot label was used as the marker. The hydrophilic imprinted film was synthesized directly on the surface of a 96-well plate, and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermo-gravimetric analyses.
