The double-edged sword effect of indigo naturalis
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Jan 30;185:114476. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114476. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndigo naturalis (IN) is a dried powder derived from plants such as Baphicacanthus cusia (Neeks) Bremek., Polygonum tinctorium Ait. and Isatis indigotica Fork. It has a historical application as a dye in ancient India, Egypt, Africa and China. Over time, it has been introduced to China and Japan for treatment of various ailments including hemoptysis, epistaxis, chest discomfort, and aphtha. Clinical and pre-clinical studies have widely demonstrated its promising effects on autoimmune diseases like psoriasis and Ulcerati...

Updates on diagnostic criteria for hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia in the light of whole genome sequencing of 'gene-negative individuals recruited to the 100 000 Genomes Project
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is diagnosed clinically by the Curacao Criteria of spontaneous recurrent nosebleeds, mucocutaneous telangiectasia at characteristic sites, visceral involvement (arteriovenous malformations (AVMs); gastrointestinal telangiectasia) and family history.1 Early diagnosis is important to enable AVM screening and preventative treatments.2–5 HHT is caused by loss-of-function DNA variants in ENG, ACVRL1, SMAD4 or GDF2,6–9 though older manuscripts describing linkage to additional loci10 11 continue to be referenced heavily. In whole genome sequencing (WGS) performed prospectiv...

SMARCB1-Deficient Skull Base Chondrosarcoma with 12p Duplication Presenting as Somatic-Type Malignancy Arising from Metastatic Seminoma
AbstractSomatic-type malignancy (STM) can occur infrequently within a primary or metastatic testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) and is associated with dismal prognosis and survival. STM with chondrosarcomatous features is exceedingly rare and head and neck involvement has not been previously documented. A 39-year-old white man presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Imaging disclosed a 6.9-cm expansile tumor involving the nasal cavity and skull base with intraorbital and intracranial extension. The histopathologic properties of the tumor were compatible with chondrosarcoma, grade II-III. Immunohistochemically, malign...

Sinonasal Glomangiopericytoma with Skull Base Involvement: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Conclusion: We present a case of sinonasal GPC with skull base involvement that was treated with endoscopic resection. At the most recent follow-up (6 months), the patient remained free of local disease.PMID:38229414 | DOI:10.1177/01455613231223900 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Endovascular intervention for the treatment of epistaxis: cone beam CT review of anatomy, collateral, and treatment implications/efficacy
We present a review of epistaxis treatment, a detailed description of anatomic and physiologic considerations informed by cone beam CT imaging, and a proposed protocol for sphenopalatine embolization for which there is currently no standard. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Maxillofacial haemorrhagic symptoms in emergency department patients: impact of antithrombotics
ConclusionMaxillofacial haemorrhagic symptoms were observed more frequently in the UA group than in the NUA group. However, in both groups, maxillofacial haemorrhagic symptoms appear to be predictors of maxillofacial fractures. Caution is warranted in attributing these symptoms solely to antithrombotic use during emergency department assessments. (Source: European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery)

Use of Polyurethane-Covered Stents for Exclusion of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations
ConclusionExclusion of PAVMs with polyurethane-covered stents is technically feasible, safe, and shows short-term effectiveness for PAVMs with a short/tortuous feeding artery when traditional embolization techniques are not possible.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Treatment, Management, and Otolaryngology Consultation for Epistaxis in the Emergency Room: An Institutional Experience
CONCLUSION: The high percentage of patients referred or transferred to the ED for epistaxis management with no change in interventions after ENT consultation indicates a continued need to develop more precise clinical care pathways. Additionally, there may be gaps between White and non-White patients in access to ENT care.PMID:38155492 | DOI:10.1177/19458924231223348 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)
