Defensins are a large and ancient family of host–defence peptides present across vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants, where they play a crucial role in innate immunity. Among them, big defensins represent a structurally distinctive subfamily characterized by a hydrophobic N‐terminal domain and a cysteine‐rich C‐terminal β‐defensin‐like domain. Here,

Disparities in Proton Radiation Utilization for HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer Following TORS
ABSTRACT Introduction Racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities in receipt of proton radiation have been reported. Whether disparities exist for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is not well studied. Methods Patients with HPV‐associated OPSCC treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and adjuvant radiation from 2016 to 2023 were

Subglottic Stenosis After Radioactive Iodine Treatment for Graves' Disease: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a narrowing of the airway below the glottis and may be congenital or acquired. While prolonged intubation is the most common cause of acquired SGS, other etiologies remain incompletely understood. Methods A 37‐year‐old woman presented with a four‐year history of mild progressive stridor, dysphonia, and ...
