5 (6.2) mm), with 40 (61 %) being deep, extending into the appendiceal lumen. Technical success was achieved in 59/66 patients (89 %), of which, 56 were found to be neoplastic lesions on post-resection pathology. Clinical success was achieved in 53/66 (80 %). R0 resection was achieved in 52/56 (93 %). Of the 58 patients in whom EFTR was completed who had no prior history of appendectomy, appendicitis was reported in 10 (17 %), with six (60 %) requiring surgical appendectomy. Follow-up colonoscopy was completed in 41 patients, with evidence of recurrence in five (12 %).

 The FTRD is a promising non-surgical alternative for resecting appendiceal lesions, but appendicitis occurs in 1/6 cases.

 Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNC) of the larynx is a rare tumor entity with a 5-year overall survival (OS) of only 5 % after treatment with chemoradiotherapy.

 A systematic review of the literature was performed for "SCNC" and "SCNC in head and neck". Our hospital's own electronic patient file database was investigated for patients diagnosed with a SCNC over the last 12 years.

 The effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy in SCNC is still unclear since randomized clinical trials are missing for the evaluation of standard of care treatment. Common therapy approaches are based on experiences with small cell lung cancer. 0.5 % of all SCNC occur in the head and neck region. In the last 12 years, we diagnosed 9 patients with SCNC, two of which were located in the larynx. click here Exemplarily, we report the case of a 29-year-old male with the initial diagnosis of a SCNC of the larynx with concurrent lymph node metastasis. This case is particularly interesting due to the young age at disease onset and the lack of major risk factors. Treatment was modified to nivolumab due to progressive disease after treatment with chemoradiotherapy. After an OS of 22months, the patient deceased due to a tumor-associated major bleeding with airway obstruction.

 So far there are no clinical reports evaluating the use of nivolumab in third-line-therapy of SCNC. NTRK fusion (neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase gene fusion) or the folate receptor expression analysis should be considered to evaluate the potential use of a tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitor or a folate receptor targeting therapy.

 Microsurgical free tissue transfer has become a reliable technique with success rates around 99% and around 5% requiring exploration for vascular compromise. Protocols for flap monitoring between plastic surgery units vary. We aimed to elucidate the time period when monitoring is crucial for flap salvage.

 A systematic search of literature was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Scopus databases from 1966 to July 2018 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, identifying 3,844 studies with mention of free flap and monitoring or timing or salvage or compromise. Studies were screened for relevance according to predetermined inclusion criteria. Data was extracted from included studies relating to flap type, monitoring, timing and reason for failure, and success of salvage intervention.

 A total of 109 studies featuring 44,031 free flaps were included. A total of 2,549 (5.8%) flaps required return to theater for compromise; 926 (2.1facilitating rapid detection of vascular compromise, early salvage, and better outcomes. The location of the flap has implications on its success and certain recipient sites may need particular attention to improve chances of success.
 This study aimed to assess whether cord blood carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in jaundiced term neonates with and without a positive direct Coombs test (DCT) and in healthy controls could be used as a predictor of severe hyperbilirubinemia. The percentage of cord blood COHb should be higher among neonates with Coombs-positive ABO hemolytic disease than among those with Coombs-negative ABO incompatibility and higher than that of ABO-compatible control neonates.

 This cross-sectional descriptive study of 198 term neonates comprised three subgroups group I featured 68 DCT-positive ABO-incompatible neonates (ABO + DCT), group II featured 60 DCT-negative ABO-incompatible neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (ABO-DCT), and group III featured 70 healthy controls. COHb was determined by an OSM3 hemoximeter.

 Group I differed from groups II and III for cord blood bilirubin, cord blood hemoglobin, and cord blood hematocrit. Groups I and II had higher mean total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels than group III, while there was no difference in the mean TSB levels between groups I and II. There was no significant difference between the COHb group means for groups I, II, and III (
 = 0.98). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve calculated for group I/group III and group II/group III were found to be 0.62 and 0.54, respectively.

 COHb levels did not prove to be superior to the DCT for predicting the risk of developing severe hyperbilirubinemia in term neonates.

· COHb levels do not predict the risk of developing severe hyperbilirubinemia in term neonates.. · COHb levels may predict that ABO incompatibility in early life.. · COHb levels did not prove to be superior to the direct coombs test..

A novel pandemic disease offered the opportunity to create new, disease-specific, symptom rubrics for the homeopathic repertory.

The aim of this study was to discover the relationship between specific symptoms and specific medicines, especially of symptoms occurring frequently in this disease.

Worldwide collection of data in all possible formats by various parties was coordinated by the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis. As the data came in, more symptoms were assessed prospectively. Frequent analysis and feedback by electronic newsletters were used to improve the quality of the data. Likelihood ratios (LRs) of symptoms were calculated. An algorithm for combining symptom LRs was programmed and published in the form of an app. The app was tested against 18 well-described successful cases from Hong Kong.

LRs of common symptoms such as 'Fatigue' and 'Headache' provided better differentiation between medicines than did existing repertory entries, which are based only on the narrow presence or absence of symptoms.
