Peripheral nerve sheath tumors in the head and neck in patients with APC gene deletion mutations: a case report and scoping review of the literature
Koral Blunt, Monirah Albathi, Miriam Conces, Tendy Chiang
Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) is a tumor suppressor gene expressed throughout the body. APC mutations increase the risk of malignancy and are often characterized by syndromes that encompass a spectrum of neoplastic manifestations, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). We present a rare case of palatal peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the context of APC gene mutation. A 17-year-old male...
Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin levels can predict allergic disease development and atopic march in children
Zak Callaway, Chang-Keun Kim
In some children, atopic manifestations begin with atopic dermatitis and progress to allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis; of them, a small subset experience food allergies as well. This progression shares genetic and environmental predisposing factors and immunological features, such as allergen-specific T helper type 2 responses, that manifest as specific immunoglobulin E production and eosinophil activation. Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), which...

Yeon Woong Chung
Myopia, among the most common vision disorders worldwide, is projected to affect approximately 50% of the world's population by 2050. Its prevalence is particularly high in East Asia, posing a considerable public health challenge. In particular, high myopia, defined as ≤6.0 diopters, significantly increases an individual's lifetime risk of vision-threatening complications. Moreover, recent studies revealed that non-ophthalmological factors such as...
NLRP3 inflammasome: A key player in neonatal brain injury
Cagla Kiser, Ilkcan Ercan, Defne Engur, Sermin Genc
Among neonates, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is the most significant cause of mortality and hypoxia-ischemia is among the leading causes of brain damage. The microglia are primary mediators of neuroinflammation. NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation is the first line of defense in the central nervous system. Numerous studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated and...
