This case report describes laryngeal oedema occurring in a 35-year-old woman with chronic bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome, and stenosis of the left main bronchus. The oedema was attributed to persistent cough exacerbated by delayed treatment and intubation-related irritation. Evaluations ruled out inflammatory, autoimmune, and malignant causes. Literature lacks on specific descriptions of cough-induced laryngeal oedema, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach and early intervention in complex cases to prevent severe hospitalizations in patients with known serious conditions and symptom exacerbation.

Purpose: To use deep learning technology to design and implement a model that can automatically classify laryngoscope images and assist doctors in diagnosing laryngeal diseases.
Materials And Methods: The experiment was based on 3057 images (normal, glottic cancer, granuloma, Reinke's Edema, vocal cord cyst, leukoplakia, nodules and polyps) from the dataset Laryngoscope8. A classification model based on deep neural networks was developed and tested.

Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder in India, and while prevalence data is limited, it is believed that a significant number of individuals may be affected. Due to restricted access to first-line treatments, older therapies like danazol are commonly used despite associated risks in resource-constrained settings. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of danazol as an affordable long-term prophylaxis (LTP) for HAE in a three-generation family.

Perioperative and critical care management following penetrating thoracic trauma represents a complex challenge. Those who survive the early trauma approach and reach the hospital alive often remain in critical condition, with cardiocirculatory complications and major pulmonary injuries. Additional difficulty arises from the presence of a weapon , particularly in a dorsal location, which limits patient positioning, and the safe manipulation of both the weapon and the patient.

To explore and summarize the morphological features of laryngeal tuberculosis under electronic laryngoscopy and image-enhanced endoscopy (i-scan). A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 31 patients diagnosed with laryngeal tuberculosis at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2014 to June 2024, encompassing the morphological features of electronic laryngoscopy and i-scan endoscopy, histopathological features, and supplementary clinical examination results. Descriptive statistical methods were employed for the analysis.
