How can youth involvement in public health conferences promote a tobacco-free generation? Lessons from the ECToH 2023's Youth Committee.

Young health advocates have the legitimate aspiration to be masters of their future and are increasingly contributing to public health research and practice worldwide, yet their potential to contribute to the documentation and communication of outputs from public health conferences has not been fully realised. This short communication highlights the Youth Committee of the 2023 European Conference on Tobacco or Health as an example of youth involvement in a major public health conference focused on tobacco control. The authors explore the benefits, practicalities and challenges of incorporating young professionals into conference workflow, including creativity, networking and engagement with broader public health challenges within their communities.

Protocol for Forearm Pronosupination Strength Measuring in Different Postures: Reliability and Influence of Relevant Factors.

Importance: Despite the importance of pronosupination strength, which is key in daily activities, current evaluation protocols are disparate, and results differ regarding the influence of factors such as gender, age, limb dominance, or posture.

Objective: To design a reliable device to measure pronation and supination torques in different forearm positions, considering the influence of gender, age, and limb dominance.

Design: Reliability study with analysis of intrarater and interrater repeatability and examination of the influence of different factors on the strength of pronation and supination.

Coexistence of Rosai-Dorfman disease and Hodgkin's lymphoma in a patient with cervical lymphadenopathy.

A man in his 40s, with no tobacco or alcohol habit, was referred to the otorhinolaryngology department presenting with a 2-month history of enlarged left cervical lymphadenopathy with no other signs or symptoms. The ear, nose and throat examination showed no abnormalities apart from the described lymphadenopathy. An ultrasound scan suggested these nodes to be part of either an inflammatory or a malignant process.

Low-Dose Gamma Radiation Sterilization for Decellularized Tracheal Grafts.

One of the main key aspects in ensuring that a transplant evolves correctly is the sterility of the medium. Decellularized tracheal transplantation involves implanting an organ that was originally in contact with the environment, thus not being sterile from the outset. While the decellularization protocol (through detergent exposition [2% sodium dodecyl sulfate], continuous stirring, and osmotic shocks) is conducted in line with aseptic measures, it does not provide sterilization.

Odynophagia as the first manifestation of toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are infrequent mucocutaneous diseases, rapidly progressive and life-threatening. The clinical aspects and the management of TEN are exposed following a case.A man in his 40s presented to the emergency department with severe odynophagia, poor general condition and fever.

Mandibular osteoma as a cause of ankylosis and progressive trismus.

Osteomas are benign tumours of bone tissue restricted to the craniofacial skeleton. The aim of this article is to present and discuss the demographic and clinical aspects and the management of craniomaxillofacial osteomas. When the patient was submitted from primary care to our hospital, he was 68 years old, and he had ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint for the previos 4 years.

Unclassifiable lymphoma in pregnancy.

A 28-year-old woman, 15 weeks pregnant, consulted for cervical ache and left laterocervical mass. Imaging scans revealed a large mediastinal mass that had spread to supraclavicular and left axillar spaces, including cervicobrachial plexus. Pathological anatomy confirmed an unclassifiable lymphoma, with intermediate features between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Cost analysis of the flash monitoring system (FreeStyle Libre 2) in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Compare cost of the interstitial liquid glucose flash monitoring (FM) system (FreeStyle Libre 2) versus self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Spain.

Research Design And Methods: A model was developed to estimate, with the perspective of the Spanish health system, the annual costs associated with glucose monitoring and hypoglycemic events management in T1DM population, with multiple insulin daily doses (MDI). According to published evidence, rate of severe hypoglycemia (SHE) of 4.

Flash glucose monitoring reduces glycemic variability and hypoglycemia: real-world data from Spain.

Objective: Observations in real-world settings support and extend findings demonstrated in randomized controlled trials that show flash glucose monitoring improves glycemic control. In this study, Spain-specific relationships between testing frequency and glycemic parameters were investigated under real-world settings.

Research Design And Methods: Deidentified glucose and user scanning data were analyzed and readers were rank ordered into 20 equal sized groups by daily scan frequency.

MUC1 intracellular bioactivation mediates lung fibrosis.

Background: Serum KL6/mucin 1 (MUC1) has been identified as a potential biomarker in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but the role of MUC1 intracellular bioactivation in IPF is unknown.

Objective: To characterise MUC1 intracellular bioactivation in IPF.

Methods And Results: The expression and phosphorylation of Thr and Tyr on the intracellular MUC1-cytoplasmic tail (CT) was increased in patients with IPF (n=22) compared with healthy subjects (n=21) and localised to fibroblasts and hyperplastic alveolar type II cells.

Transoral (transvestibular-paramandibular) endoscopic approach for benign tumours in the infratemporal fossa.

We describe a minimally invasive transoral approach to the infratemporal fossa, by means of endoscopy, which facilitates examination and resection of lesions in this area. Furthermore, we outline the technique employed and a case treated with this approach, which permits a rapid access with very low patient morbidity, due to the use of endoscopy and of transoral access, instead of traditional transfacial approaches.

Head and Neck Lymphomas in HIV Patients: a Clinical Perspective.

 Because of the many HIV-related malignancies, the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus are challenging.  Here, we review current knowledge of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, symptomatology, diagnosis, and treatment of head and neck lymphomas in HIV patients from a clinical perspective.  Although Hodgkin's lymphoma is not an AIDS-defining neoplasm, its prevalence is ten times higher in HIV patients than in the general population.

Bibliometric analysis of the scientific production in implantology (2009-2013).
