A Scoping Review of Surgical Interventions for Nasal Valve Obstruction in Facial Paralysis
Nasal valve obstruction often results from facial paralysis, leading to narrowed passages and weakened support, which can collapse the airway and hinder proper inhalation. This narrative review examines seven research articles on surgical techniques for correcting nasal valve obstruction specifically linked to facial paralysis, analyzing objective ...

When Parotid Swelling Reveals Relapsed Breast Cancer: A Rare Metastatic Pathway
ABSTRACT Parotid tumor can be the first manifestation of relapsed breast cancer, even years after remission. Awareness of this rare metastatic pathway is crucial, as timely recognition of atypical parotid masses in patients with a breast cancer history can guide prompt diagnosis and improve management outcomes.

ABSTRACT Background The NTRK fusion gene is detected in most salivary gland secretory carcinomas. While tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors are used for various solid tumors with the fusion gene, there are no reports regarding TRK inhibitor use for unresectable parotid gland carcinomas that subsequently shrink and become resectable.
