Due to difficult anatomical position nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is always challenging problems both from the diagnostic and therapeutic corner. A 24 years old lady came to our Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery with the complaints of epistaxis, right sided neck swelling, nasal obstruction and headache. On digital palpation Nasopharyngeal mass was found. We took biopsy from nasopharynx under indirect vision but report was not conclusive. Then we did CT scan, nasendoscopy. Nasendoscopy showed bilateral ethmoidal polyp with nasopharyngeal mass. We took biopsy from the nasopharyngeal mass and confirmed the diagnosis.

Dry powders offer the potential to increase stability and reduce cold-chain requirements associated with the distribution of vaccines and other thermally sensitive products. The Alberta Idealized Nasal Inlet (AINI) is a representative geometry for characterization of nasal products that may prove useful in examining intranasal delivery of powders. Spray-dried trehalose powders were loaded at 10, 20, and 40 mg doses into active single-dose devices.

We aimed to evaluate the effect of mass campaigns on nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage of Pneumosil (PCV10) in children aged 1-9 years in Niger.
Methods: In this three-arm, open-label, cluster-randomised trial, 63 clusters of one to four villages in Niger were randomly assigned (3:3:1) using block randomisation to receive campaigns consisting of a single full dose of a 10-valent PCV (Pneumosil), a single one-fifth dose of Pneumosil, or no campaign.
