Inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumor (IMP) is a rare neoplasm usually found in the lower respiratory tract, pulmonary system, and abdominal cavity. Conservative surgical procedures are often performed in the management of the tumor. In this article, we present a 64-year-old male with a local IMP of the larynx. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, histopathology, and management of this uncommon tumor were also discussed.

Interaction of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV) Matrix Protein with Resveratrol Shows Antiviral Effect.
Int J Mol Sci
November 2024
Department of Physics, Institute of Biosciences, Humanities and Exact Sciences, São Paulo State University (UNESP), Rua Cristóvão Colombo, 2265, São José do Rio Preto 15054-000, SP, Brazil.
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) matrix protein plays key roles in the virus life cycle and is essential for budding, as it stimulates the optimal membrane curvature necessary for the emergence of viral particles. Resveratrol, a polyphenol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) produced by plants, exhibits pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. In this study, resveratrol was tested in HEp-2 (Epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx cell) cells for its post-infection effects, and recombinant M protein was produced to characterize the biophysical mechanisms underlying this interaction.

In this study, we aimed to identify risk factors that predict the postoperative need for advanced or prolonged airway management in patients with severe odontogenic deep neck infections (DNIs). This retrospective case-control study included patients of both sexes aged ≥ 18 years who had undergone surgical drainage including debridement of necrotic tissues of odontogenic deep neck abscesses and necrotizing soft tissue infection under general anesthesia between April 2016 and September 2023 at a single center. The patients' characteristics, laboratory tests, and computed tomography (CT) findings were analyzed and compared between the difficult postoperative airway group, which required prolonged intubation or tracheostomy, and the short-term intubation group.

Article Synopsis
- Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a challenging chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and this study investigates how Hymenolepis nana antigens (HnAg) may help treat it.
- Research shows that HnAg improves various measures of colitis in mice, including disease activity, colon length, and overall gut health.
- The beneficial effects of HnAg are thought to be linked to the activation of specific signaling pathways that enhance intestinal barrier function and support the growth of intestinal stem cells.
Recurrent Inflammatory Reaction to Laryngeal Hyaluronic Acid Injection.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol

Division of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA.
Objectives: Vocal fold injection augmentation with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is a common treatment for glottic insufficiency. While generally well-tolerated, rare inflammatory reactions can occur in 3% to 5% of patients. All reported reactions resolved after corticosteroid treatment, and no cases of recurrent inflammatory reaction with airway obstruction following steroid treatment have been reported.

Infecting humans with controlled doses of small intestinal helminths, such as human hookworm, is proposed as a therapy for the colonic inflammatory disease ulcerative colitis. Strengthening the colonic mucus barrier is a potential mechanism by which small intestinal helminths could treat ulcerative colitis. In this study, we compare C57BL/6 mice infected with the small intestinal helminth and uninfected controls to investigate changes in colonic mucus.
