A 46-year-old woman visited our hospital presenting throat pain and globus sensation. The symptoms occurred seven days after eating raw perch and mullet. An endoscopy under sedation showed a fluke-with an approximate length of 4.8 mm and width of 1.5 mm-on the left aryepiglottic fold, with active motility on the mucosa. It was extracted from the larynx using biopsy forceps and was identified as . To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of human infection with diagnosed and treated by an endoscopy in Korea. Endoscopy is a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of patients at risk for parasitic infections complaining of throat pain.

Comprehensive Perioperative Management of PFAPA Syndrome: Insights From Clinical Cases.
J Perianesth Nurs

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, University of Baskent, Ankara, Turkey.
Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, a common cause of recurrent fever in childhood, presents a challenge in both diagnosis and management. While initially considered a monogenic disorder, recent research has highlighted its complex genetic underpinnings, involving noncoding genome regions and immune-mediated cytokine dysregulation. This complexity underscores the need for comprehensive perioperative management strategies, particularly in surgical interventions such as tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the Ministry of Education Key Laboratory, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases, Beijing, China.
Objective: Severe gastrointestinal lesions are associated with a poor prognosis in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). The goal of this study was to develop an effective predictive model for gastrointestinal lesions and to examine clinical patterns, associated factors, treatment, and outcomes of gastrointestinal lesions in EGPA.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 165 EGPA patients.
Intravenous anesthesia with high-flow nasal cannula improves recovery in elderly undergoing ureteroscopic lithotripsy: a prospective controlled study.
BMC Anesthesiol
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, 215124, China.
Background: Intravenous anesthesia with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been reported to benefit oxygen reserves and enhance postoperative recovery in surgeries requiring low neuromuscular blockade. This study investigated whether HFNC improves recovery quality in elderly undergoing ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy (UHLL).
Methods: We enrolled 106 elderly patients undergoing UHLL, with 96 patients (48 per group) included in the final analysis.
International Expert Consensus on Relevant Health and Functioning Concepts to Assess in Users of Tobacco and Nicotine Products: Delphi Study.
JMIR Form Res

PMI R&D, Philip Morris Product S.A., Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
Background: A Delphi study was conducted to reach a consensus among international clinical and health care experts on the most important health and functioning self-reported concepts when evaluating a switch from smoking cigarettes to using smoke-free tobacco and/or nicotine products (sf-TNPs).
Objective: The aim of this research was to identify concepts considered important to measure when assessing the health and functioning status of users of tobacco and/or nicotine products.
Methods: Experts (n=105), including health care professionals, researchers, and policy makers, from 26 countries with professional experience and knowledge of sf-TNPs completed a 3-round, adapted Delphi panel.

Department of Otolaryngology, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Institute of Translational Medicine, Medical College, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, PR China.
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of continuous perfusion of underwater bone grinding combined with a -shaped incision versus a microscopic posterior ear incision in the treatment of attic cholesteatoma. Clinical trials were prospective studies from the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital. Adult patients with middle ear cholesteatoma requiring ear surgery agreed to participate between September 2019 and September 2023 (age > 18).
