Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) can help people who have nosebleeds that just won't stop. They wanted to see if tying off or burning a certain artery (the sphenopalatine artery) would work well and safely over time.
- Researchers reviewed 16 different studies with 454 patients; about two-thirds had the artery tied off, and the rest had it burned or both.
- The results showed only a small number of patients had nosebleeds return or other complications, making these methods seem safe and helpful for stubborn nosebleeds.
Introduction: Since the introduction of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART), there has been a significant increase in the survival of HIV-infected patients. Consequently, there has been increased attention on the potential neoplastic pathologies, such as Kaposi's sarcoma, associated with AIDS in these individuals.
Case Report: In this case report we present, for the first time, a patient affected by Kaposi's sarcoma of the palatine tonsil with a concomitant syphilis infection.
