Review Case Reports
Focal nodular hyperplasia on an accessory liver lobe: A case report and literature review.
Accessory liver lobe (ALL), an autonomous island of normal liver parenchyma, is a rare congenital anomaly that is difficult for preoperative diagnosis and often identified incidentally. It can also be accompanied with benign or malignant diseases, which is extremely rare. There are only 3 cases of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) detected on ALL reported by previous literature. ⋯ The finding of a mass connecting with liver by a stalk should alert the clinician of the possibility of ALL, as well as benign or malignancies on an ALL. This is the first case of FNH on ALL preoperatively confirmed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound. We suggest that an integrated radiologic approach is crucial to evaluate an incidentally detected, asymptomatic abdominal focal mass.

A worldwide concern has been raised that novel infectious diseases may outbreak rapidly with a limited response time due to globalization. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, influenza A, Avian Influenza Virus, and Corona Virus Disease 2019 are acute respiratory diseases that have been affected by the movements of people, and globalization accelerates these movements. These infectious diseases not only have an overwhelming health impact but also impact the worldwide economy. ⋯ To the best of our knowledge, this study will firstly evaluate both health and economic impact of infectious diseases in china and may provide strategy development ideas for future resistance.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an immunoglobulin E (Ig E)-mediated inflammatory disease. Intranasal phototherapy is a promising treatment modality because it has a profound immunosuppressive effect, but the evidence of its use for AR is insufficient. Therefore, rigorously designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed. Our objective is to describe the protocol for an RCT to assess the effects and safety of intranasal phototherapy for the treatment of AR. ⋯ The findings of this study will provide the basis for the design and implementation of RCTs investigating the effects and safety of intranasal phototherapy for AR. Additionally, it will provide preliminary evidence of intranasal phototherapy for use in AR.

Since the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP), it has swept the world with rapid development. Up to now, there is no effective drug to treat it. Lianhua Qingwen has been used in the treatment of COVID-19 in China, but there is no systematic review about it. This study will systematically evaluate its efficacy and safety in the treatment of COVID-19. ⋯ CRD42020180877.
