It is reported that () infection may be linked to non-digestive tract diseases, such as arteriosclerosis including dyslipidemia, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we reviewed recent studies available in PubMed dealing with the mechanisms of arteriosclerosis due to infection and the effects of eradication. Conventional studies suggested that infection may increase the risk of arteriosclerosis. A large interventional study is required to clarify the causal relationships and the effects of bacterial eradication.

Predictive Value of Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Combined with Distal Ureteral Diameter Ratio for Early Breakthrough Urinary Tract Infection in Children with Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux.

Aim: To investigate predictive value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) combined with the distal ureteral diameter ratio (UDR) for early breakthrough urinary tract infection (BT-UTI) in children with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 VUR patients admitted to ShangHai Children's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Patients were divided into the early BT-UTI group (n = 52) and the non-earlyBT-UTI group (n = 98) based on whether early BT-UTI occurred.

Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). Despite the medical advances in cancer therapy, OM is still virtually inevitable in patients being irradiated for neoplasms of the head and neck. The initial signs of oral mucositis typically manifest after cumulative doses between 15 and 20 Gy, with ulceration formation by 30 Gy and reaching peak severity in the week after radiation treatment completion (generally 60-72 Gy in management of HNC), then resolving over the 3-4 weeks following treatment completion.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (SSCUP) presents a clinically challenge disease process requiring elaborate multidisciplinary collaboration for effective treatment. With the rise in prevalence HPV associated squamous cell carcinoma, it has become the predominant etiology SCCUP of the head and neck. Advances in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of SCCUP have led to higher detection rates of primary lesions, improved disease-free and overall survival outcomes, and reduced morbidity for patients.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) associated oropharyngeal carcinoma is currently the most frequently diagnosed head and neck cancer in the United States. Due to the generally high cure rates with standard therapies, de-intensification strategies are being explored to reduce acute and long-term side effects. For patients treated with definitive chemoradiation, unselected de-escalation has shown worse progression-free survival compared to standard therapy.
