Article Abstract
Background: We aimed to describe herein the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries.
Methods: A case series review of orbital injuries managed at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine between 2002 and 2012 was performed retrospectively. The clinical analysis of 32 intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries was reviewed.
Results: Among the 32 cases, injuries in 16 were caused by a tree branch, in 10 by a pencil, in 5 by a stick, and in 1 by a bush. With respect to preoperative vision, postoperative vision was improved in 69% of patients. Time lapse from injury to presentation was correlated with the size of the foreign body. The subjects were comparable in etiological factor, and distribution of injury according to orbit was as follows: superior 28%, medial 25%, lateral 22%, inferior 16%, and posterior 9%. Computerized tomography (CT) for foreign body was definitive in 72% (n=23) and suggestive in 28% (n=9).
Conclusion: The diagnosis of orbital wooden foreign body is difficult because it may be missed clinically and from the imaging perspective. If a foreign body is suspected, optimal patient management should be done. Prior to the surgery, imaging modalities should be maximally utilized. A careful preoperative evaluation, imaging studies, which are event-specific, a high index of suspicion, and rigorous surgery and postoperative care are the keys in the management of orbital wooden foreign body injuries.

Retention of a Swallowed Dental Tool in the Small Bowel: Unusual Lodgment and Prolonged Conservative Management.
Case Rep Dent
December 2024
Department of Dentistry, Mengo Hospital, Kampala, Uganda.
Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies during dental procedures is relatively common, with the potential for serious complications, including intestinal perforations and severe pulmonary disorders. Our case report describes the prolonged, asymptomatic retention of a swallowed hex driver in the small bowel of a 38-year-old male, managed conservatively over an extended period. The patient, with a significant medical history of depression, was undergoing a dental procedure involving implant-supported restorations when the incident occurred.

Xiamen Eye Center and Eye Institute of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen, China.
Objective: To evaluate systemic inflammatory markers in cases of exogenous endophthalmitis caused by metal foreign bodies after penetrating eye injury and identify risk factors for poor control post-initial emergency surgery.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with exogenous endophthalmitis underwent emergency surgery with vitrectomy at Xiamen Eye Center (2016-2024). Evaluations included systemic inflammatory markers, microbiology, clinical presentation, treatment strategies, complications, prognostic factors, and visual outcomes.
Comparison of Nasal Packing, Trans-septal Suturing, and Submucosal Trans-septal Suturing Techniques After Septal Extension Grafts With Autogenous Costicartilage.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
Department of Plastic Surgery, the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.
Background: Nasal packing (NP), trans-septal suturing (TSS), and submucosal trans-septal suturing (STSS) are common techniques to avoid dead space after the deviated septum is corrected. However, there is rare data about surgical complications and discomfort of these techniques after septal extension grafts (SEG) with autogenous costicartilage.
Objective: To compare the complications and discomfort of NP, TSS, and STSS techniques after SEG with autogenous costicartilage.
Drug-Coated Balloons for the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease: A Review.
JAMA Cardiol

The Zena and Michael A. Wiener Cardiovascular Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York.
Importance: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has emerged as an alternative to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) as well as de novo coronary artery disease.
Observations: DCBs are balloons coated with antiproliferative agents and excipients, whose aim is to foster favorable vessel healing after appropriate lesion preparation. By providing homogeneous antiproliferative drug delivery in the absence of permanent foreign body implantation, DCBs offer multiple advantages over DES, including preservation of vessel anatomy and function and positive vessel remodeling.
Polarization and Characterization of M1 and M2 Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages on Implant Surfaces.

Department of Medical Materials Science & Technology, Institute for Biomedical Engineering, University Hospital Tübingen;
Foreign body reaction (FBR), an immune-mediated complex healing process, plays a crucial role in integrating implants into the body. Macrophages, as the first line of immune system interaction with implant surfaces, play a bidirectional role in modulating the inflammation-regeneration balance. For a deep understanding and the evaluation of the reactions between implant materials and immune responses, reliable in vitro methods and protocols are pivotal.
