Abstract Objective To determine the effect of smoking history on risk developing obstructive eustachian tube dysfunction (OETD). Study Design Cross‐sectional review. Setting National database. Methods Data from Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999 to present) was analyzed. OETD defined as middle ear pressure less than −100 decapascals (daPa). Nonsmokers, current smokers, with tympanometry data were Patients under age 18, myringotomy tubes, or a sinus problem/earache/cold in past 24...
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) are rare in comparison to the total number of peripheral aneurysms. Although there multiple treatment modalities, no clear guidelines exist for optimal management ECAA. We describe a case 59-year-old female with an incidental finding 2.6 cm right internal (ICA) aneurysm on computed tomography (CT) that was eventually excised via transcervical approach followed by end-to-end anastomosis great saphenous vein (GSV) graft. To our knowledge, this...
Abstract Background Antiangiogenic therapy with bevacizumab has failed to provide substantial gains in overall survival. Epithelial membrane protein 2 (EMP2) is a cell surface that been previously shown be expressed glioblastoma, correlate poor survival, and regulate neoangiogenesis lines. Thus, the relationship between EMP2 was investigated. Methods Tumor samples were obtained from 12 patients newly diagnosed glioblastoma at time points: (1) during initial surgery (2) subsequent following...

Abstract BACKGROUND Intracranial meningiomas have been associated with a heterogenous set of genetic and molecular alterations. Despite these associations, targeted therapies unable to increase survival in recurrent or residual meningiomas. There is need for identification therapeutic targets meningioma. MATERIALS & METHODS Normal brain tissue from routine autopsy tumor specimens patients undergoing primary surgical resection meningioma were analyzed. Pathologic diagnosis grade...
