Patient responded very well to palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in view of hormone receptor positive breast cancer, now she is on Tab. Anastrazole 1 mg once a day along with monthly Zolendronic acid injection since last 13 months without any symptoms of disease evolution. A high index of clinical thought of metastatic cancer to maxilla is necessary when evaluating patients who complain of maxillary pain and swelling without a history of pain or swelling in the head and neck & non-head and neck region. Selleckchem SN-001 To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a metastatic isolated solitary maxillary bone metastasis presenting as an early sign of breast cancer.
Tracheal stoma recurrence following oral cavity surgery is exceedingly rare. Although several different mechanisms for this have been described, the pathogenesis still remains uncertain.
We present the case of a gentleman who presented 6-months following oral cavity SCC resection with a large fungating mass at his previous tracheostomy site, and also review the reported literature on this rare phenomenon.
Four weeks after diagnosis of his recurrence he underwent a total laryngectomy, wide-local skin excision and reconstruction with a pectoralis major pedicled flap. He recovered well initially following his operation, however unfortunately contracted nosocomial SARS-Cov2 and succumbed from respiratory complications during his post-operative recovery.
Stomal recurrence after temporary tracheostomy for oral cavity malignancies are very rare. Previously reported management of these can vary from surgical to palliative treatment. Methods to prevent these include delaying tracheostomy until after surgical resection, packing the pharynx during resection and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Given the controversy regarding metabolically healthy obesity, we studied the association between duration and degree of body mass index (BMI) from adolescence to early adulthood and metabolic status of both overweight/obese and under/normal weight subjects.
Participants of the EPITeen cohort were evaluated at 13, 17, 21 and 24 years (n=1040). Duration and degree of BMI in the 11-year period was summarized through the area under the curve of BMI (BMI
). Metabolic health at 24y was defined as optimal levels of lipids, blood pressure and glucose. The association between BMI
per year and metabolic health was estimated through binary logistic regression models, adjusted for confounders and stratified by BMI. The proportion of metabolically healthy overweight/obesity at 24y was 13.4%. After adjustment for sociodemographic and behavioural factors, the increase of one kg/m
in BMI on average per year during the period between 13 and 24y was associated with 14% lower odds of being metabolically healthy among under/normal weight participants (OR=0.86, 95% CI 0.78-0.94); and 8% lower odds of metabolic health among obese/overweight participants (OR=0.92, 95% CI 0.85-1.00). After additional adjustment for waist circumference, the association was attenuated, especially in the obese/overweight group (OR=1.03, 95% CI 0.93-1.14). About 20% of the metabolically healthy obese/overweight at 13y transitioned to metabolically unhealthy obesity/overweight at 24y.
The results support the hypothesis that the healthy obesity phenotype could be explained by a lower exposure to adiposity, either by shorter time or lower quantity, and a more favourable body fat distribution.

Post-prandial glycemic response (PPGR) depends on the intrinsic characteristic of the carbohydrate-rich foods as well as on the amount and type of other nutrients. This study aimed to explore whether the addition of condiments can affect the difference in PPGR between a low and a medium-high Glycemic Index (GI) food.
Spaghetti (S) and rice ® were consumed plain and after adding tomato sauce and extra virgin olive oil (TEVOO), or pesto sauce (P). The GI of R (63±3) was statistically higher than that of S (44±7) (p=0.003). The Incremental Area Under the Curve (IAUC) for R was significantly greater than S (124.2±12.1 and 82.1±12.9mmol∗min/L respectively) (p=0.016) for blood glucose but not for insulin (1192.6±183.6 and 905.2±208.9 mU∗min/L, respectively) (p=0.076). There were no significant differences after the addition of either TEVOO or P. The postprandial peaks of blood glucose and insulin for R (6.7±0.3mmol/L and 36.4±4.9 mU/L, respectively) were significantly higher compared to S (6.0±0.2mmol/L and 26.7±3.6 mU/L, respectively) (p=0.033 and p=0.025). The postprandial peak for insulin remained significantly higher with P (36.8±3.7 and 28.6±2.9 mU/L for R+P and S+P, p=0.045) but not with EVOO (p=0.963). Postprandial peaks for blood glucose were not significantly different with condiment.
The differences in PPGR were significant between spaghetti and rice consumed plain, they reduced or disappeared with fat adding, depending on the type of condiment used. REGISTRATION NUMBER (www.clinicaltrial.gov)NCT03104712.

Emerging data have linked the presence of cardiac injury with a worse prognosis in novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. However, available data cannot clearly characterize the correlation between cardiac injury and COVID-19. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis of recent studies to 1) explore the prevalence of cardiac injury in different types of COVID-19 patients and 2) evaluate the association between cardiac injury and worse prognosis (severe disease, admission to ICU, and mortality) in patients with COVID-19.
Literature search was conducted through PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and MedRxiv databases. A meta-analysis was performed with Stata 14.0. A fixed-effects model was used if the I
values≤50%, otherwise the random-effects model was performed. The prevalence of cardiac injury was 19% (95% CI 0.15-0.22, and p<0.001) in total COVID-19 patients, 36% (95% CI 0.25-0.47, and p<0.001) in severe COVID-19 patients, and 48% (95% CI 0.30-0.66, and p<0.001) in non-survivors. Furthermore, cardiac injury was found to be associated with a significant increase in the risk of poor outcomes with a pooled effect size (ES) of 8.
