  Sejong the Great (May 7, 1397-March 30, 1450), a king during Korea's Choson Dynasty, is the most respected historical figure in South Korean society, and consequently, many studies have been conducted on his achievements and the disease he suffered. The dominant trend of scholarship claims that Sejong suffered from diabetic retinopathy. However, this interpretation has not been medically verified. The present analysis aimed to demonstrate that Sejong's is the oldest documented case of ankylosing spondylitis.
 
  The Annals of the Choson Dynasty (hereafter, The Annals) are daily records of the king. The Annals were recorded for 472years (1392-1865) and contain 49646667 Chinese characters. Records in The Annals on Sejong span 1418-1450; the present study author reviewed these records.
 
  Sejong's medical records are mentioned 40 times in the source text. The king first experienced musculoskeletal pain in his knee at the age of 22years. Sejong's knee pain is mentioned 3 times, and his back pain, which he described as "stiff and immobile", is mentioned 6 times. He complained most frequently of ocular symptoms described as "prickly or tingling," which are mentioned 12 times.
 
  Based on the analysis of official documentation, the author argues that there is a high probability that Sejong suffered from ankylosing spondylitis, making this the oldest officially documented case of the disease.

  Chemotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) can lead to significant side effects and complications.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/lotiglipron.html  Exercises during chemoradiotherapy have potential to reduce complications and fatigue and improve quality of life. The aim of the randomised clinical study was to investigate the benefits of resistance exercise during chemoradiotherapy in NPC patients.
 
  A total of 146 patients were randomised to perform resistance or relaxation exercises during chemoradiotherapy. Resistance exercise consisted of eight machine-based progressive resistance exercises, and relaxation control consisted of progressive muscle relaxation. Side effects and complications were analysed, and fatigue was assessed by Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF) scores. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQ30) scale was used to evaluate the effects of resistance exercise or relaxation control on quality of life. Per-protocol analysis was performed on the collected data.
 
  Resistance exercise has stronger effects than relaxation in reducing complications, including oral mucositis, mouth-opening difficulties, xerostomia, hearing loss and nasal congestion, and alleviating both physical fatigue and mental fatigue. The improvement in quality of life was also more prominent among patients performing resistance exercise.
 
  For NPC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy, resistance exercise has a better efficacy in reducing complications, alleviating fatigue and improving quality of life.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a cytosolic enzyme that controls immune responses via tryptophan metabolism, mainly through its enzymic activity. When phosphorylated, however, IDO1 acts as a signaling molecule in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), thus activating genomic effects, ultimately leading to long-lasting immunosuppression. Whether the two activities-namely, the catalytic and signaling functions-are spatially segregated has been unclear. We found that, under conditions favoring signaling rather than catabolic events, IDO1 shifts from the cytosol to early endosomes. The event requires interaction with class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), which become activated, resulting in full expression of the immunoregulatory phenotype in vivo in pDCs as resulting from IDO1-dependent signaling events. Thus, IDO1's spatial dynamics meet the needs for short-acting as well as durable mechanisms of immune suppression, both under acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. These data expand the theoretical basis for an IDO1-centered therapy in inflammation and autoimmunity.
  To compare the incidence and clinical features of individuals presenting in emergency rooms (ER) with facial palsy during the Italian COVID-19 outbreak and in the same period of 2019.
 
  We retrospectively reviewed the medical records for all accesses to the six ER in the province of Reggio Emilia, Italy, during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (27 February-3 May 2020) to identify all cases of diagnosed facial palsy. Clinical information was retrieved for each patient and compared with that of facial palsy cases presenting in 2019.
 
  Between 27 February and 3 May 2020, 38 patients presented to provincial ERs for facial palsy; in 2019, there were 22 cases, for an incidence rate ratio of 1.73 (95% CI 1.02-2.92) for the 2020 cohort. Of the 2020 cohort, eight patients (21%) presented with active or recent symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection, compared with 2 (9%) in 2019 (p=.299); one was tested and resulted positive for SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, patients were younger (-11years, p=.037) than those of the previous year and manifested a longer lag (+1.1days, p=.001) between symptoms onset and ER presentation.
 
  We observed a higher occurrence of facial palsy during the COVID-19 outbreak compared to the same period of the previous year; 21% of patients presenting with facial palsy had active or recent symptoms consistent with SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting an excess risk of facial palsy during or after COVID-19. These patients searched for medical attention later, probably because of the fear of contracting COVID-19 during assistance.
