is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness of the cranial and skeletal muscles, however, neuropathies are extremely rare. In this case report we present a case of a 61-year-old man diagnosed who came to our attention due to a 1 week of acute deep pain [NPRS 8/10] in the anterior and medial right knee which occurred during walking [NPRS 8/10] or stair climbing [NPRS 9/10]. A complete medical record and clinical examination based on physical exploration and ultrasound assessment confirmed a infrapatellar saphenous neuralgia.

Article Synopsis
  • Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a serious complication of advanced lung adenocarcinoma, with neutrophils playing a role in both tumor progression and worse patient outcomes.
  • The study analyzed pleural fluid from 47 lung adenocarcinoma patients and 25 heart failure patients, finding that neutrophils in MPE situations showed altered survival and functional properties compared to those in heart failure.
  • The research links the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to poorer clinical outcomes, suggesting that targeting neutrophil activity could be a potential therapy for lung adenocarcinoma.
