Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Achieving clinical and endoscopic remission is the main therapeutic goal. Despite available treatment options, some patients present with treatment-refractory disease to approved therapies.

- Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is a serious thyroid condition that can be fatal if not treated promptly, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis.
- A 22-year-old male was first suspected to have subacute thyroiditis but progressed to AST, leading to severe symptoms and the need for emergency treatment.
- Quick intervention with antibiotics and surgical drainage was necessary, and in complex cases, additional imaging or biopsies are recommended for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Background And Aims: Fecal calprotectin (fCP) has been shown to correlate with endoscopic disease activity in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to evaluate its role in predicting early endoscopic recurrence in postoperative CD.
Methods: Patients who underwent CD-related intestinal resection with ileocolonic anastomosis were prospectively followed up until ileocolonoscopy was performed around 12 months post-surgery.
Aminotransaminases, including aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), are strongly involved in cancer cell metabolism and have been associated with prognosis in different types of cancer. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of the pre-treatment AST/ALT ratio in a large European cohort of patients with oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OOSCC). Data from 515 patients treated for OOSCC at a tertiary academic center from 2000-2017 were retrospectively analyzed.

In recent studies, altered mean platelet volume (MPV) has been associated with prognosis in different types of cancer. However, the prognostic role of the MPV in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is currently discussed controversially.
