Risk Factors and Predictive Model for Otitis Media With Effusion After Radiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the impact of different radiation fields on the risk of otitis media with effusion (OME) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients and to develop a nomogram to identify high‐risk patients after radiotherapy. Methods Clinical data were collected from 170 NPC patients who underwent radiotherapy at Peking Union Medical ...

Identification and Validation of Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps and Study of Their Associated Mechanisms

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cell senescence (CS) and lipid metabolism (LM) disorders have been reported in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the mechanism is still unclear. Methods Data were obtained from public databases; differential expression analysis and machine learning were performed to identify biomarkers and to understand the

Enhanced Early Detection of Allergic Rhinitis: A Prospective Study on a Symptom‐Based Predictive Model

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Allergic rhinitis (AR) and non‐allergic rhinitis (NAR) share overlapping symptoms but differ in pathophysiology and treatment. Current AR diagnosis relies on skin prick testing (SPT) and serum IgE quantification, both of which are complex.

Development and Validation of an Individualized Nomogram to Identify Undifferentiated‐Predominant Mixed‐Type Early Gastric Cancer

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
This study identified open‐type atrophic gastritis, flat or depressed morphology, faded appearance, tumor location on the greater curvature or anterior wall, xanthoma, and previous Helicobacter pylori eradication as independent risk factors for undifferentiated‐type‐predominant mixed‐type early gastric cancer (UM‐EGC).

Development of a nomogram for sperm retrieval at microTESE for idiopathic non‐obstructive azoospermia in a multi‐center cohort study

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) affects approximately 10% of infertile men and represents a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). A model that includes histological variants could be helpful in predicting sperm retrieval rate (SRR) after microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in patients affected ...

Short‐Term Surgical Outcomes: Modified Dorsal Inlay Graft Versus Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty in Pediatric Hypospadias With Narrow Urethral Plates

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Reconstructing the urethra presents in hypospadias surgery is difficult. Occasionally, the urethral plate (UP) may be quite narrow, necessitating augmentation or replacement to achieve additional tubularization. Objective The objective of this research was to assess the application of modified dorsal inlay graft (mDIG) and ...
