Introduction. Pulsatile tinnitus is a relatively common presentation in otolaryngology clinics, most cases of which have a treatable cause. This presentation warrants a thorough workup to identify treatable, and rule out life-threatening, etiologies. We present a case of a patient with pulsatile tinnitus arising from multiple dilated venous channels in the head and neck. Case Presentation. We present the case of a 65-year-old Caucasian female with a two-year history of progressive, bilateral pulsatile...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the role of the newly emerging concept that involves “shifting” the tinnitus pitch and loudness in relation to the efficacy of precision sound therapy. This study is the first to investigate the effects of different pitch and loudness levels on the “shift” in tinnitus pitch and on the outcomes of precision sound therapy used to treat displaced tinnitus. We administered them therapy with 3 custom‐sound music clips in which the main frequency masked...

Abstract Purpose The presence of many asymptomatic COVID-19 cases may increase the risks of disease dissemination, mainly for physicians. There are numerous reports on the frequent findings of sudden anosmia or hyposmia, before or at the same time of the typical COVID-19 symptoms onset. The aim of this study was to verify the association of olfactory impairment and COVID-19, providing a basis for subsequent research in the field of COVID-19...

ABSTRACT Background In‐vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) increases diagnostic accuracy for melanoma diagnosis when combined with dermoscopy. In patients with multiple atypical nevi a comparative dermoscopic approach improves melanoma recognition and saves unnecessary excision. The performance of a comparative approach combining dermoscopy and RCM has not been yet investigated. Objective To validate a comparative dermoscopic+RCM approach according to melanoma diagnostic accuracy...

Abstract Platelet α‐granules release growth factors (GFs) that promote healing and tissue regeneration. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is shown to be beneficial in treating alopecia, however, clinical response can be inconsistent. Due to several fold enrichment of platelets secreting large quantities of GFs following PRP injections, heterogeneity in amounts of GFs secreted by platelets may contribute to inconsistent clinical responses. Herein, we evaluated factors that could potentially contribute to...

ABSTRACT Background Melanoma is the most deadly skin cancer and its incidence is growing. EZH2, a member of the Polycomb Group (PcGs) proteins family, plays an important biological role in the occurrence and development of melanoma. EZH2 germline genetic polymorphisms have not been yet evaluated in melanoma predisposition. Methods 330 sporadic Italian melanoma patients and 333 healthy volunteers were genotyped to analyze the association between EZH2 variants rs6950683, rs2302427, rs3757441,...

ABSTRACT Brooke‐Spiegler syndrome (BSS, OMIM 605041) is a rare monogenic skin disease characterized by the development of skin appendage tumors caused by mutations in the cylindromatosis gene. We recently investigated a Hungarian and an Anglo‐Saxon pedigrees affected by Brooke‐Spiegler syndrome. Despite carrying the same disease‐causing mutation (c.2806C>T, p.Arg936X) of the cylindromatosis (CYLD) gene, the affected family members of the two pedigrees exhibit striking differences in their phenotypes....
