Use of Free Flaps in the Reconstruction of the Ventral Skull Base: A Systematic Literature Review
ABSTRACT Background Reconstruction of the ventral skull base represents a challenge in head and neck surgery. When local or regional flaps are insufficient, microvascular free flaps offer a reliable reconstructive option. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines to identify studies on ventral skull base ...

ABSTRACT Background Long‐term cardiovascular complications after COVID‐19 are increasingly recognized, yet the protective effect of pre‐infection vaccination in individuals without prior cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. This study examined the association between COVID‐19 vaccination and major cardiovascular and related outcomes up to 3 ...

Necrotic Features in Post‐Radiation Nasopharyngeal Biopsies Associated With Carotid Blowout
This study characterizes two distinct histological patterns of post‐radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis—coagulative stromal necrosis (Type A) and microscopic osteoradionecrosis (Type B)—that are strongly associated with carotid blowout syndrome (CBS). Identifying these specific necrotic features in routine biopsies offers critical prognostic value beyond

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease
Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are dynamic regulators of tissue homeostasis and disease remodeling. In the healthy state, LECs coordinate interstitial fluid drainage, intestinal lipid transport, and immune trafficking and tolerance. Across disease settings, however, these same programs become maladaptively reprogrammed, contributing to barrier ...
