Wrong-site surgery could occur in cases of bilateral pathology or in patients with normal tympanic membranes such as those undergoing stapedectomy. This report highlights the pitfalls in current surgical checklists despite best efforts being put into their design. The practice of marking the earlobe in ear surgery may be less safe than using larger arrows on the neck to indicate the side of surgery.

Glucose Metabolic Abnormalities and Their Interaction With Defective Phosphate Homeostasis in Tumor-induced Osteomalacia.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Key Laboratory of Endocrinology, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Dongcheng District, National Commission of Health, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing 100730, China.
Context: Phosphate homeostasis was compromised in tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) due to increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion. Nevertheless, the glucose metabolic profile in TIO patients has not been investigated.
Objectives: This work aimed to clarify the glucose metabolic profiles in TIO patients and explore their interaction with impaired phosphate homeostasis.
The swinging sclera technique for evisceration.
Orbit
January 2025
Ruiz Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, McGovern Medical School at University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Texas, USA.
Purpose: To present a modified evisceration technique with a full-thickness horizontal sclerotomy and assess post-operative motility and long-term outcomes.
Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent evisceration with a single surgeon (TJM). The standard initial steps of evisceration were performed.
Automatic classification of temporomandibular joint disorders by magnetic resonance imaging and convolutional neural networks.
J Dent Sci
January 2025
Institute of Statistics, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu City, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: In this study, we utilized magnetic resonance imaging data of the temporomandibular joint, collected from the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Our research focuses on the classification and severity analysis of temporomandibular joint disease using convolutional neural networks.
Materials And Methods: In gray-scale image series, the most critical features often lie within the articular disc cartilage, situated at the junction of the temporal bone and the condyles.
Pharyngeal Complications Following Two-Jaw Surgery.
Cureus
December 2024
Section of Anesthesiology, Department of Diagnostics and General Care, Fukuoka Dental College, Fukuoka, JPN.
Objective: Two-jaw surgery corrects jaw deformities by adjusting occlusion and reshaping the jaw. This technique carries a high risk of pharyngolaryngeal injury due to frequent head and neck movements during intraoperative maneuvers and prolonged intubation, although the details remain unclear. This study explored the frequency and causes of postoperative pharyngeal complications following maxillary translocation.

Introduction: The Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway is pivotal in regulating various biological processes such as early embryonic development, neural crest cell migration, and cancer invasion. Despite advances in understanding the role of Wnt/PCP pathway dysregulation in tumorigenesis, numerous unanswered questions remain. Our study focused on VANGL2, a core PCP gene, to elucidate its potential mechanistic involvement in cancer development.
