No Right Way: Removal of a Pencil Foreign Body From a Male Urethra.
Cureus
November 2024
Urology, Sunderland Royal Hospital, Sunderland, GBR.
Foreign body insertion into the urethra is uncommonly encountered in urology practice. Such insertion can result in a myriad of problems including bleeding, infectious sequelae, urinary retention, urethral injury or rupture, and resultant urethral stricture formation. This article describes a case in which an elderly male inserted a pencil into his urethra, which subsequently became lodged and required removal under regional anesthesia in the operating theater.

Background: Intracranial penetrating injuries from a pencil are exceptionally rare. The most common mechanism is a child running while holding a pencil. Potential consequences of intracranial pencil injury include direct trauma to brain structures, vascular injury, and intracranial abscess formation.

Centre for Injury Prevention and Performance, School of Health and Human Performance, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland.
Background: This study explored concussion assessment and management self-efficacy and practices of allied healthcare professionals in Ireland.
Hypotheses: (1) Self-efficacy levels and practices vary across different concussion assessment and management skills, (2) the ability to practice skills impacts self-efficacy most.
Study Design: Cross-sectional.
Carotid-Threatening Penetrating Oropharyngeal Trauma in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Cureus
September 2024
Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, USA.
Penetrating oropharyngeal injury is a relatively common occurrence in pediatric patients; however, cases involving close proximity to critical vascular structures, such as the internal carotid artery (ICA), are exceedingly rare and pose significant risks. This case report describes a seven-year-old male who sustained penetrating oropharyngeal trauma with startling proximity to the ICA after being pushed into a locker with a pencil in his mouth. Initial evaluation showed the wooden pencil protruding from the soft palate without active bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of ultrahigh dose-rate FLASH proton therapy on gastrointestinal injury, highlighting that while FLASH therapy aims to reduce normal tissue toxicity, it showed significantly reduced survival rates in mice compared to conventional therapy.
- - Whole abdominal irradiation was conducted on mice, using both FLASH and conventional proton therapy, and survival rates were assessed, along with intestinal histology analysis through a new AI-based technique.
- - Results indicated that despite enhanced dose rates with FLASH therapy, there was no significant improvement in gut cell regeneration or histology at 4 days post-irradiation, raising questions about FLASH's efficacy for gastrointestinal sparing.
