Unusual presentations and uncommon clinical manifestations of Monkeypox (Mpox) in the current outbreak highlight the need to focus on cardiac symptoms of the virus. Owing to limited discussion regarding cardiac involvement in recent cases of Mpox, we conducted a scoping review to determine the range of existing research and provide a descriptive overview of the current literature on these manifestations. This review was conducted using a previously developed six-stage methodological approach and keeping in view the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR)...

Silicone implants are commonly used alloplastic materials for rhinoplasty in Asia, as they are easy to manipulate, provide adequate volume augmentation, and exhibit excellent biocompatibility. However, they are associated with complications such as infection, displacement, and extrusion. Recently, we encountered an interesting complication in a 53-year-old woman presenting with palpable and visible stepping of the nasal dorsum. The patient had previously undergone rhinoplasty with an L-shaped silicone implant, and symptoms had been noticeable for approximately 1 year...

BACKGROUND: The oronasopharyngeal (ONP) sampling phase is critical in the diagnosis of infection during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this study, the aim is to investigate the effect of the standardized operational team in the sampling unit on test results and repetitions. METHODS: Patients who applied to the Adult Pandemic Polyclinic between August 2020 and October 2021 and whose ONP samples were taken for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test were included in the study...

Objective  An operative workflow systematically compartmentalizes operations into hierarchal components of phases, steps, instrument, technique errors, and event errors. Operative workflow provides a foundation for education, training, and understanding of surgical variation. In this Part 1, we present a codified operative workflow for the retrosigmoid approach to vestibular schwannoma resection. Methods  A mixed-method consensus process of literature review, small-group Delphi's consensus, followed by a national Delphi's consensus, was performed in collaboration with British Skull Base Society (BSBS)...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a new emergency department (ED) intervention for the management of non-traumatic, anterior epistaxis in adult patients, aiming to reduce epistaxis admissions. DESIGN: A new epistaxis pathway was introduced for use by ED practitioners. This was disseminated in ED through an educational campaign by the ear, nose and throat team. A tranexamic acid (500 mg/5 mL)-soaked NasoPore® packing step was introduced for epistaxis which did not terminate following 10 min of simple first aid...

Invasive pituitary adenomas can infiltrate the dura mater, sphenoid sinus, or cranial bone. Endoscopic transsphenoidal sinus surgery is considered the standard of care; however, several potential complications must be noted. These complications can include cerebrospinal fluid leaks, infection, bleeding, optic nerve damage, and endocrinological complications such as diabetes insipidus. We present a case of a 69-year-old female with multiple recurrent invasive pituitary adenomas who has previously undergone 5 transsphenoidal procedures...

The purpose of this study is to clarify the difference in oil production rules of conglomerate reservoirs with different pore structures during surfactant-polymer (SP) binary flooding and to ensure the efficient development of conglomerate reservoirs. In this paper, the full-diameter natural cores from the conglomerate reservoir of the Triassic Kexia Formation in the seventh middle block of the Karamay Oilfield (Xinjiang, China) are selected as the research objects. Two schemes of single constant viscosity (SCV) and echelon viscosity reducing (EVR) are designed to displace oil from three main oil-bearing lithologies, namely fine conglomerate, glutenite, and sandstone...

Oral cancer is introduced as the uncontrolled cells' growth that causes destruction and damage to nearby tissues. This occurs when a sore or lump grows in the mouth that does not disappear. Cancers of the cheeks, lips, floor of the mouth, tongue, sinuses, hard and soft palate, and lungs (throat) are types of this cancer that will be deadly if not detected and cured in the beginning stages. The present study proposes a new pipeline procedure for providing an efficient diagnosis system for oral cancer images...

Siraitia grosvenorii, known as "Luohanguo or monk fruit", is a perennial vine belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. It is cultivated for its fruits, which are used as a Chinese traditional medicine to treat throat, lung and intestine ailments, or as raw material to extract sweet cucurbitane-glycosides as sugar substitute sweeteners (Chen et al., 2007). The production of S. grosvenorii is limited by viral diseases especially cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), watermelon mosaic virus, and zucchini yellow mosaic virus (Liao et al...

Background: Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea in the pediatric population is an exceedingly rare condition that occurs when the dura mater is breached, resulting in CSF drainage from the subarachnoid space into surrounding sinonasal tissue. Objective: This work delineates a step-by-step surgical approach to visually demonstrate the feasibility of an uninarial endoscopic endonasal approach for pediatric spontaneous CSF leak repair. Postoperative Outcome: A 2-year-old male with a 6-month history of clear rhinorrhea, intermittent headaches, and a previous episode of bacterial meningitis was evaluated as an inpatient consultation...

Microstructures can effectively improve the sensing performance of flexible piezocapacitive sensors. Simple, low-cost fabrication methods for microstructures are key to facilitating the practical application of piezocapacitive sensors. Herein, based on the laser thermal effect and the thermal decomposition of glucose, a rapid, simple, and low-cost laser direct-printing process is proposed for the preparation of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based electrode with a hybrid microstructure. Combining the PDMS-based electrode with an ionic gel film, highly sensitive piezocapacitive sensors with different hybrid microstructures are realized...

The widespread accessibility of commercial/clinically-viable electrochemical diagnostic systems for rapid quantification of viral proteins demands translational/preclinical investigations. Here, Covid-Sense (CoVSense) antigen testing platform; an all-in-one electrochemical nano-immunosensor for sample-to-result, self-validated, and accurate quantification of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid (N)-proteins in clinical examinations is developed. The platform's sensing strips benefit from a highly-sensitive, nanostructured surface, created through the incorporation of carboxyl-functionalized graphene nanosheets, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) conductive polymers, enhancing the overall conductivity of the system...

BACKGROUND: Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) 229E, OC43, HKU1, and NL63 are common viruses that continuously circulate in the human population. Previous studies showed the circulation of HCoVs during the cold months in Iran. We studied the circulation of HCoVs during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to find the impact of pandemic on the circulation of these viruses. METHODS: As a cross-sectional survey conducted during 2021 to 2022, of all throat swabs sent to Iran National Influenza Center from patients with severe acute respiratory infection, 590 samples were selected to test for HCoVs using one-step real-time RT-PCR...
