Objectives: This study aims to evaluate treatment approaches in relation to the localization, size and symptoms of temporal bone osteoma according to the complaints of the patient.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 23 patients (16 males, 7 females; mean age 28.6 years; range 14-69 years) followed up with the diagnosis of temporal bone osteoma at our clinic between January 2005 and April 2016. We obtained the demographic features, clinical presentations (symptoms, location and size of the tumors), treatment approaches and postoperative outcomes of the patients from patients file. Treatment approaches were analyzed according to the characteristics of patients and of the tumor.
Results: The most common localization of osteomas was external auditory canal (66%), followed by mastoid bone (21%) and middle ear cavity (13%). The osteoma was detected incidentally in five patients out of 23. Treatment approaches were determined according to the presence of symptoms, size and localization of tumors.
Conclusion: Physical examination and periodic follow-up is recommended in asymptomatic patients. In symptomatic patients, surgical resection is needed with an appropriate surgical approach based on the location and size of the tumor.

Introduction: The aim of the observational SIMPLE study was to assess real-life effectiveness and safety of a single-pill combination (SPC) of perindopril arginine/amlodipine in a broad range of subjects with newly diagnosed mild-to-moderate hypertension treated in Canadian general practice.
Methods: Treatment-naïve participants aged 18-65 years with mild-to-moderate hypertension, whose physicians decided to initiate the perindopril/amlodipine SPC, were recruited from Canadian clinical practice from October 2017 to February 2019. Participants were followed at 3- (M3) and 6-month (M6) visits after treatment initiation.

Surgical resection is the only curative treatment for cholangiocarcinoma, but it is often diagnosed at advanced stages, making surgical resection infeasible. Recently, the concept of conversion surgery has expanded the indications for surgical treatment, thanks to advancements in both perioperative management and chemotherapy. However, it remains unclear which patients benefit most from this treatment strategy.

Following a gluten-free diet (GFD) is known as the main effective therapy available for celiac disease (CD) patients, which in some cases is not enough to heal all patients presentations completely. Accordingly, emerging researchers have focused on finding novel therapeutic/preventive strategies for this disorder. Moreover, previous studies have shown that celiac patients, especially untreated subjects, are at increased risk of developing viral and bacterial infections, which can become a challenge for the clinician.

Leather manufacturing is the process of converting raw animal hides or skins into finished leather. The complex industrial procedures result in a tanning effluent composed of chemical compounds with potentially hazardous impacts on humans and ecosystems. Among the traditional and efficient wastewater treatments, adsorption is an effective and well-known approach, able to manage a wide range of contaminants from wastewater.

Virus encephalitis (VE), recognized as one of the common kinds of central nervous system (CNS) diseases after virus infection, has a surprising correlation with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) when autoimmune antibodies emerge in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or serum. Herpes simplex virus and Epstein-Barr virus are the most critical agents worldwide. By molecular mimicry, herpes viruses can invade the brain directly or indirectly.
