Objective: To retrospectively analyze the extraordinary pathologic entities inside the concha bullosa (CB).
Methods: Surgical interventions were performed on 136 patients (234 CB) at the Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat, and Head and Neck Surgery, Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey between January 2002 and December 2007. Radiological and histopathological findings of these cases were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: In 203 (86.8%) of the 234 cases, only a pneumatized cavity was observed. The cavity was filled with purulent secretion in 13 (5.6%) cases. A bony septum, pyocele, polyp, ossifying fibroma, fungus ball, and cholesteatoma were the other extraordinary pathologies associated with CB.
Conclusion: Although most of the CB cases have pneumatized cavity, it should be kept in mind that some extraordinary pathologies can be associated with CB.

Cortical Laminar Bone Membrane: Transforming Regenerative Approaches in Dentistry.

Cortical laminar bone membrane (CLBM) is well known for its extraordinary mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and osteoconductive potential, and thus, it has been revealed as a revolutionary biomaterial in periodontal and alveolar bone regeneration. CLBM offers a superior alternative to traditional barrier membranes used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR). CLBM represents a significant advancement in managing complex defects by overcoming common limitations such as premature degradation and inadequate soft tissue support.

A major paradigm shift in the diagnosis, management, and survival outcomes of early and advanced non-small cell lung cancer has transpired over the past few decades in thoracic oncology with the incorporation of molecular testing, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, neoadjuvant, and adjuvant approaches. However, transformation in the management and survival outcomes of rare lung tumors is lacking. Given the scarcity of these tumor types, randomized trials are rarely performed, and treatment is extrapolated from case series, tumor-agnostic trials, or cancers with similar histology.

Poland suffered an epidemic of louse-borne typhus from 1916-1923, with 400,000 cases and more than 130,000 deaths. The causative factors were depressed economic conditions and a refugee crisis that engulfed Poland after World War I. The recognition of the epidemic in 1919 stimulated the creation of the League of Red Cross Societies (LRCS).

Backgroud: Oesophageal cancer ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumours globally, primarily consisting of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Cancer stem cells (CSCs) accelerate the progression ESCC via their strong self-renewal and tumourigenic capabilities, presenting significant clinical challenges due to increased risks of recurrence and drug resistance.
Methods: Our previous study has reported WYC-209, which is capable of inducing apoptosis of CSCs in melanoma and hepatoma, but is ineffective against ESCC.
Pure Biclonal Hairy Cell Leukemia-Apt Diagnosis with Multicolor Flow Cytometry.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan.
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare B-cell neoplasm that constitutes around 2 percent of all lymphoid leukemias and occurs more frequently in elderly males. The usual triad of HCL includes pancytopenia, splenomegaly, and hairy cells in the bone marrow. This is a case of an atypical presentation of biclonal HCL diagnosed on flow cytometry; the existence of biclonal HCL is extremely rare with very few case reports.
