Abstract Pharyngocutaneous fistula is a major post‐operative complication after laryngectomy and pharyngectomy surgery with potentially devastating consequences. The aim of the current study was to determine if post‐operative trend in C‐reactive protein (CRP) after laryngectomy and pharyngectomy surgery can predict pharyngocutaneous fistula. A screening test to identify those patients who healed and would not go on to develop a pharyngocutaneous fistula was defined as a 35% reduction...

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal hyperproliferation and differentiation. The object of this study is to explore the role of microRNA‐215‐5p in psoriasis‐like inflammation. The expression of miR‐215‐5p was found to be down‐regulated in proinflammatory factor‐stimulated HaCaT cells and imiquimod (IMQ)‐treated skin tissues. Overexpression of miR‐215‐5p suppressed the proliferation and cell cycle progression of HaCaT cells. Further, miR‐215‐5p agomir alleviated...

Abstract In 2018, Schneider and Zouboulis analyzed the available tools for studying sebaceous gland pathophysiology in vitro. Since then, the interest in this field remains unbroken, as demonstrated by recent reviews on sebaceous gland physiology, endocrinology and neurobiology, the role of sebaceous glands beyond acne, and several original works on different areas of sebaceous gland function, including sebaceous lipogenesis. Landmark developments in the first part of the 30 years modeling research...

Abstract In patients with solitary thyroid nodules, the first course of action is to determine whether the nodule is benign or malignant. Many investigations are used to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules so as to avoid surgery in those who don’t need it. Among these, FNAC and USG are commonly used in association with clinical features but there are drawbacks of each technique. The present study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic effectivity of thyrotropin...

Background: An association between hearing impairment (HI) and congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has been reported previously. However, in general, studies were retrospective and had small sample sizes, and the results were variable and inconclusive. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of HI among patients with CH and to examine factors potentially predictive of HI including severity of CH, etiology of CH, and timing of treatment initiation. Methods: Audiometry was undertaken prospectively...
