Article Abstract

Purpose: In the era of precision medicine, target-therapy with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) has enabled new treatment options in patients affected by eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Nevertheless, sometimes unsatisfactory results at a nasal level may be observed. The aim of this study is to describe reboot surgery as a potential adjuvant strategy in multi-operated, yet uncontrolled EGPA patients treated with Mepolizumab.

Methods: We performed reboot surgery on EGPA patients with refractory CRSwNP. We obtained clinical data, nasal endoscopy, nasal biopsy, and symptom severity scores two months before surgery and 12 months after it. Computed tomography (CT) prior to surgery was also obtained.

Results: Two patients were included in the study. Baseline sinonasal disease was severe. Systemic EGPA manifestations were under control, and the patients received previous mepolizumab treatment and previous surgery with no permanent benefits on sinonasal symptoms. Twelve months after surgery, nasal symptoms were markedly improved; endoscopy showed an absence of nasal polyps and there were fewer eosinophils at histology.

Conclusions: We presented the first experience of two EGPA patients with refractory CRSwNP who underwent non-mucosa sparing (reboot) sinus surgery; our results support the possible adjuvant role of reboot surgery in this particular subset of patients.

To explore the effect, postoperative mucosal pathological changes and molecular biological changes of reboot operation for type 2 inflammation chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP) patients, and to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of this kind of operation. We collected 29 patients who were diagnosed with CRSwNP with type 2 inflammatino response and underwent Reboot surgery from June 2022 to August 2023, and 27 patients who were diagnosed with deviated septum and underwent simple submucosal resection of the septum as the control group. We conducted nasal symptom scoring, endoscopic sinusitis scoring, and CT scanning of the sinuses before and after surgery, as well as HE staining, immunohistochemical staining, and detection of inflammatory factors using Elisa kits at the time of surgery, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

Nasal reconstructive surgery following skin cancer resection is challenging, with esthetic concerns impacting patients' quality of life. Non-surgical rhinoplasty may be an alternative to repeated surgeries. This study aimed to evaluate non-surgical rhinoplasty esthetic benefits and subjective patient outcomes after skin cancer resection.

Factors Associated With Early Reocclusion in Recanalized Intracranial Atherosclerotic Occlusion: ANGEL-REBOOT Insights.

Stroke

September 2025

Interventional Neuroradiology, Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, China (L.L., S.S., D.M., X.T., Z.M., F.G.).

Background: Early reocclusion following successful recanalization through mechanical thrombectomy is linked to poor clinical outcomes in patients with stroke with intracranial atherosclerotic occlusion (ICAS-O). However, the factors influencing early reocclusion remain inadequately understood. This study is a post hoc analysis of 24-hour reocclusion in patients with successfully recanalized ICAS-O from a multicenter trial.

Objective: Readiness Brain Operation Optimization Training (ReBOOT) is a manualized cognitive prehabilitation program for patients considering epilepsy surgery designed to improve presurgical preparedness through education and reduce the impact of postsurgical cognitive changes with preemptive cognitive compensatory training. The purpose of this study was to understand the feasibility of cognitive prehabilitation, examine patient satisfaction with ReBOOT, and assess changes in compensatory strategy use following ReBOOT.

Methods: Seventeen participants (65% female, mean age = 41 years) considering epilepsy surgery were enrolled in ReBOOT, which includes two one-on-one psychoeducation sessions, four group sessions on cognitive compensatory strategies, and weekly goal setting to facilitate implementation of strategies.

Background: PharyngoCutaneous Fistulae (PCF) represent a significant clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology practice. The use of biomaterials could improve outcomes or even replace the use of a flap in pharyngolaryngeal surgery.

Methods: This systematic review included all studies evaluating the application of biomaterials for the prevention of PCF after pharyngeal surgery.
