• Derepression of <i>hTERT</i> gene expression promotes escape from oncogene-induced cellular senescence

  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2016-08-08 · 135 citations

  articleOpen access

  Significance Normal cells respond to oncogenic signals by activating cellular senescence, a state of irreversible/permanent growth arrest that prevents cells from undergoing further cell divisions. Although this oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is considered a critical tumor-suppressive mechanism, the irreversible nature of OIS remains controversial. In this study, we demonstrate that OIS is not always stable. After a prolonged period in senescence, cells can re-enter the cell-division cycle wi…

• Orbital cellulitis, sinusitis and intracranial abnormalities in two adolescents with COVID-19

  Orbit · 2020 · 106 citations

  We review two cases of adolescents with orbital cellulitis, sinusitis and SARS- CoV-2 infection presenting to emergency departments within a 24 hour period. SARS-CoV-2 samples obtained within 24 hours were positive, supporting prior infection despite relatively limited early symptoms of COVID-19. Unusual clinical and radiographic characteristics included hemorrhagic abscess with blood of varying age in the first, intracranial epidural abscess in the second, radiographic signal consistent with he…

• Myxofibrosarcoma of the Maxillary Sinus

  Allergy & Rhinology · 2017-01-01 · 13 citations

  articleOpen access

  BACKGROUND: Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a common sarcoma in the extremities of older individuals but is extremely uncommon in the head and neck region. Diagnosis may be challenging but is critical to the management of the patient. We discuss the radiographic and histopathologic characteristics of this destructive tumor. The distinguishing features of MFS and its differential diagnosis are reviewed to familiarize the managing otolaryngologist with this rare entity. METHODS: A 61-year-old woman pres…

• Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the periocular region

  Orbit · 2019-11-06 · 8 citations

  article

  Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a benign vascular lesion, typically found in the skin, consisting of a papillary proliferation of endothelial cells intimately related to a thrombus; it appears to be a rare variant of an organizing process. IPEH very rarely develops in the periocular region, with fewer than 20 such cases currently reported in the English language literature. We describe one of the largest ever case series of this uncommon lesion occurring in the periocul…
