Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent and lethal malignancy, accounting for 95% of head and neck cancers. Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activating protein ZETA (14-3-3ζ) is central to various signalling pathways and is pivotal in tumour progression.
Methods: Cancerous and corresponding non-cancerous tissue samples were collected from five patients diagnosed with HNSCC. circRNA and mRNA expression profiles were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing techniques. Potential circRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA interactions were predicted using bioinformatics tools.
Results: The study found that CircRNA_036186 regulates the expression of 14-3-3ζ in HNSCC through miR-193b-5p.
Discussion: These findings suggest that CircRNA_036186 has the potential to be a biomarker and therapeutic target for HNSCC and provide some theoretical basis for further research on the role of circRNA in HNSCC.

Importance: Investigating rural-urban and regional differences in the association between dual sensory loss (concurrent hearing and vision loss) and depression may highlight gaps in sensory loss research and health care services, and by socioeconomic status. Whether urbanicity and region may modify associations between sensory loss and depression is unknown.
Objective: To describe the rural-urban and regional differences in the association of dual sensory loss with depression among older adults.

Importance: Facial synkinesis refers to pathologic cocontraction and baseline hypertonicity of muscles innervated by the facial nerve, commonly attributed to the aberrant regeneration of nerve fibers following injury. The pathomechanism and optimal treatment of facial synkinesis remain unclear. The goal of this review is to highlight current understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, assessment, and treatment of facial synkinesis.
