This case report presents the treatment of a 36-year-old male patient with massive anal condyloma lata following lung transplantation due to cystic fibrosis. The patient, under long-term immunosuppressive therapy, developed extensive wart-like lesions around the anal canal. A modified circular hemorrhoidectomy with mucosal bridges was performed to excise the affected tissue while preserving functional integrity.

Background: The adenoids, primary sites of microbial colonization in the upper airways, can influence the development of various conditions, including otitis media with effusion (OME). Alterations in the adenoid microbiota have been implicated in the pathogenesis of such conditions.
Aim: This study aims to utilize 16S rRNA genetic sequencing to identify and compare the bacterial communities on the adenoid surfaces of children with OME and children with healthy middle ears.

Background: The upper respiratory tract harbors diverse communities of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic organisms, originating from both the oral and nasopharyngeal microbiota. Among the primary sites of microbial colonization in the upper airways are the adenoids. Alterations in the adenoid microbiota have been implicated in the development of various conditions, including secretory otitis media.

Article Synopsis
- Bariatric surgery can improve metabolic dysfunction and inflammation linked to obesity, but its effects on immune B cell function are not well understood.
- The study involved evaluating B cell composition in obese individuals before and after surgery, comparing them to lean controls to assess changes in immune response.
- Results showed that surgery restored the balance of B cells but also increased certain inflammatory B cell subsets, indicating a distinct post-operative immune profile that does not fully mirror lean individuals.

: the upper respiratory tract harbors the highest bacterial density in the whole respiratory system. Adenoids, which are located in the , are a major site of bacterial colonies in the upper airways. Our goal was to use culture-independent molecular techniques to identify the breadth of bacterial diversity in the adenoid vegetations of children suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis and obstructive sleep apnea.
