Discussions
Brendan Coyne, Medical Student, OtherSolid article, thank you very much for sharing. However, I was wondering what makes this case particularly significant or unique. Red food dye mimicking hematochezia and hematemesis is fairly common. Was it specifically that this patient had eaten "hot Cheetos" that makes this case unique?
I was also wondering if this patient had ever previously experienced similar episodes from spicy foods before. You mentioned that the hot Cheetos were a new dietary item for the patient, but did he report ever eating other capsaicin-containing foods in the past before this presentation?
Thank you so much!
Huanhua Wu, MD, PhDThis case report describes a clinically mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a nine-year-old boy. The manuscript is well-structured, and the case is presented with clear clinical, imaging, and laboratory data. The discussion appropriately places this case in the context of previously reported MERS cases, highlighting the relevance of MRI in early diagnosis.
RAJILA MAJEED, MBBSThis article presents a valuable comparative analysis of two widely used tonsillectomy techniques—Cold Steel Dissection and Electrocautery. The study's findings contribute significantly to the ongoing debate on the most effective approach by evaluating key factors such as intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, and healing time. The detailed methodology and clinical observations provide useful insights for ENT surgeons in making evidence-based decisions. Overall, a well-structured and informative study that adds depth to the existing literature on tonsillectomy procedures.
