Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of selective neck dissection in patients with lymph node-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to determine regional control and survival rates. Eighty patients with lymph node-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who underwent selective dissection were included in the study. Regional control, survival rates, and factors affecting survival were analyzed. Regional control was 90%, disease-specific survival was 93.4%, and the overall survival rate was 87.25%. T stage, N stage, age, and extracapsular spread were included in hazard regression models. None of the factors were statistically significant. Selective neck dissection is an effective and oncologically safe treatment option in selected cases. T stage, N stage, and extracapsular spread had no significant impact on disease-specific survival.

Background: While osteoporosis in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is widely studied, PHPT patients with osteopenia remain less characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, biochemical features, and estimated fracture risk of osteopenic PHPT patients in a real-life cohort.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of PHPT patients with available densitometric data at three sites.

Objective: We hypothesized that anatomic location of metastatic melanoma is associated with the degree of therapeutic response to TVEC.
Summary: TVEC is the first FDA-approved injectable oncolytic virus to treat unresectable stage IIIB-IV metastatic melanoma patients. Previously published real-world outcomes demonstrated a 39% complete response (CR) rate to TVEC.
Prognostic models for radiation-induced complications after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.

Background: Radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) but may induce various side effects on surrounding normal tissues. To reach an optimal balance between tumour control and toxicity prevention, normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models have been reported to predict the risk of radiation-induced side effects in patients with HNC. However, the quality of study design, conduct, and analysis (i.

Wide-necked anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms pose challenges for endovascular coiling due to the risk of coil protrusion. This case report describes a new endovascular technique for managing ruptured wide-necked ACoA aneurysms, addressing the risk of coil protrusion during embolization. This method employs a combined microcatheter and guidewire-assisted embolization method, enabling coil deployment without needing adjunctive devices such as stents or balloons.

Purpose: To report five cases of structural weakness at the haptic-optic junction of the CT Lucia 602 intraocular lens (IOL) (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Dublin, CA), including two optic breakages and three optic microfractures, while using the Yamane flanged intrascleral haptic fixation surgery (FIHFS).
Methods: A retrospective chart review of five cases that underwent Yamane FIHFS by the same surgeon between 2020 and 2022 was performed.
