Article Synopsis
- A case study is presented involving a 48-year-old woman with pupil-involving third nerve palsy and Terson's syndrome, leading to the discovery of a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm.
- Terson's syndrome manifested with retinal hemorrhages resembling Roth spots, and the patient maintained full consciousness and no other neurological symptoms.
- The timely intervention by ophthalmologists was crucial in diagnosing and managing her condition, ultimately requiring a surgical procedure after imaging confirmed the aneurysm.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined if esophageal speech (ES) as a vocal rehabilitation method after total laryngectomy can improve patients' quality of life (QoL) and vocal abilities based on personal reports.
- Nine studies were reviewed using various data sources, with a focus on standardized questionnaires and audio analyses, and biases checked using CASP tools.
- While some patients reported improvements in QoL and vocal functionality, others faced challenges with learning ES and phonetic performance, leading to mixed results; overall, the technique's effectiveness may vary based on individual circumstances.
Head and neck cancers (HNCs) constitute a wide range of malignancies originating from the epithelial lining of the upper aerodigestive tract, including the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and salivary glands. Although lymphomas affecting this region are not conventionally classified as HNCs, they may occur in lymph nodes or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues within the head and neck. Oncogenic viruses play a crucial role in HNC onset.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the health profile of patient-attendees visiting primary healthcare (PHC) practice settings in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the relationships between multiple behavioral risk factors (MBRFs) and consultation-driven health information. Multiple behavioral risk factors involve a variety of unhealthy behaviors that are associated with an increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Subjects And Methods: The study design was based on a dataset analysis, afterward exploring the feasibility and diagnostic capacity of respiratory morbidity aspects from a study previously conducted.
