Objective: To compare outcomes of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) resection between embolized and non-embolized cohorts, and between transarterial embolization (TAE) and direct puncture embolization (DPE).
Data Sources: Per PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for publications prior to or in 2021.
Materials And Methods: Original English manuscripts investigating the resection of JNA with and without preoperative embolization were included. Embolization type, recurrence rate, complication rates, blood loss, and transfusions were extracted. Risk of bias was assessed by the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions method.
Results: There were 61 studies with 917 patients included. Preoperative embolization was performed in 79.3% of patients. Of those embolized, 75.8% (N = 551) underwent TAE and 15.8% (N = 115) underwent DPE. JNA recurrence in embolized patients was lower than in non-embolized patients (9.3% vs. 14.4%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35, 1.06). DPE resulted in lower rates of disease recurrence (0% vs. 9.5%; OR: 0.066, 95% CI: 0.016, 0.272) and complications (1.8% vs. 21.9%; OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.3) than TAE. A random effects Bayesian model was performed to analyze the difference in mean blood loss in 6 studies that included both embolized and non-embolized patients. This analysis showed a mean reduction in blood loss of 798 mL in the embolized group.
Conclusions: We found embolization decreases blood loss in JNA resection. DPE led to improved recurrence and complication rates when compared to TAE, but future prospective studies are needed to further evaluate which embolization technique can optimize outcomes in JNA.

Catheter ablation procedure for symptomatic atrial fibrillation is an established treatment. Cardiac tamponade is one of the several complications associated with atrial fibrillation ablation. We present the case of a 60-year-old male with a past medical history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, hypotension on midodrine, atrial fibrillation status post-ablation a week prior, and a cerebrovascular accident who presented to the emergency department with complaints of weakness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and some syncopal episodes for the past few days.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is a fatal systemic hyperinflammatory syndrome. HLH may be due to immunosuppression, infections, cancer, or autoimmune diseases with fever and cytopenia. HLH which occurs in adult-onset Stills disease (AOSD) is called secondary HLH, also known as macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with coexisting portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is associated with poor patient outcomes. The efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HCC with PVTT remain a subject of debate. In the present study, a comprehensive search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and the Cochrane Library, was conducted to identify studies evaluating the outcomes of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HCC and PVTT.

Retinal diseases can severely impair vision and even lead to blindness, posing significant threats to both physical and mental health. Physical retinal regenerative therapies are poised to revolutionize the treatment of various disorders associated with blindness. However, these therapies must overcome the challenges posed by the protective inner and outer blood‒retinal barriers.
