Endoscopic endonasal approach for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor with septal mucosa incision tailored to tumor extension intending unilateral septal mucosa preservation.

Currently, the direct endonasal approach is widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. However, a large posterior septal perforation is inevitable. We routinely utilize a modified para/transseptal approach using the combination of a Killian and a contralateral rescue flap incision (PTSA with K-R incision).

Impact of container type on the microbiome of airag, a Mongolian fermented mare's milk.

Airag, a fermented mare's milk in Mongolia, exhibits diverse flavors and microbiota due to distinct production processes and environments in nomadic households. Recently, there has been a shift from the traditional cow skin container, 'khokhuur', to a plastic container for airag production, potentially impacting the microbiota and quality. To address this notion, we aimed to elucidate the differences in the microbiota between airag samples from a plastic container and those from a khokhuur.

Superior Maximization of Sphenoidotomy With Olfaction Preservation in Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery.

In endoscopic endonasal surgery for anterior skull base lesions, maximizing the anterior sphenoidotomy in the superior part is crucial for direct visualization and creating a wide working corridor. Here, we describe a technique we devised that maximizes upper anterior sphenoidotomy while preserving the olfactory mucosa. Laryngoscope, 2024.

Prevalence of gastric cancer following colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection for lesions more than 20 mm: A retrospective analysis.

Objectives: Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for large tumors is spreading worldwide. Gastric cancer (GC) sometimes occurs after colorectal ESD. However, its status including frequency and risk factors have not been examined well.

Clinical Features of Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas with Spinal Perimedullary Venous Drainage: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review.

Objective: We describe two cases of myelopathy onset due to intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) and present a literature review.

Case Presentation: (Case 1) A 44-year-old man with subacute onset myelopathy underwent an MRI and DSA. MRI showed T2-hyperintensity from the medulla oblongata to the cervical spinal cord with vascular flow voids, suggestive of a spinal DAVF.
