Subglottic and mediastinal hemangioma are rare benign vascular tumors of childhood. They cause potentially life threatening condition which requires intervention. Several therapeutic options have been described in the literature with varying degrees of success and complications. We report a case of a stridulous 2-month old female infant with mediastinal and subglottic hemangioma. The child was treated with propranolol without the need for tracheostomy or any other surgical intervention, and with no reported side effects. Propranolol is an effective, non-invasive treatment for life threatening infantile hemangiomas compressing the airway, should be used as a firstline treatment for subglottic hemangiomas when intervention is required.

Human papillomavirus 16 and human papillomavirus 18 have been associated with different life-threatening cancers, including cervical, lung, penal, vulval, vaginal, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers, while cervical cancer is the most prominent one. Several research studies have suggested that the oncoproteins E6 and E7 are the leading cause of cancers associated with the human papillomavirus infection. Therefore, we developed two mRNA vaccines (V1 and V2) targeting these oncoproteins.

The number of atrial catheter ablation procedures has significantly increased in recent years, becoming a first-line treatment modality for various supraventricular tachycardias due to their safety and efficacy. Complications, ranging from mild to life-threatening, can arise during different stages of the procedure, including vascular access complications (eg, hematoma or vascular fistula formation, retroperitoneal bleeding, etc.), thromboembolic complications (eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack, air embolism, etc.

Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation (ASTC) has proven efficacy in several hematological malignancies. The greatest antineoplastic effect achieved with intensified chemotherapy is associated with severe myelotoxicity. The infusion of autologous hematopoietic precursors and transfusion support during the period of aplasia reduces the time and depth of cytopenias, decreasing the risk of bleeding, anemia and life-threatening infections.
