Revolutionizing Cancer Care: Advances in Carbon-Based Materials for Diagnosis and Treatment.

Cancer involves intricate pathological mechanisms marked by complexities such as cytotoxicity, drug resistance, stem cell proliferation, and inadequate specificity in current chemotherapy approaches. Cancer therapy has embraced diverse nanomaterials renowned for their unique magnetic, electrical, and optical properties to address these challenges. Despite the expanding corpus of knowledge in this area, there has been less advancement in approving nano drugs for use in clinical settings.

Erythema Multiforme-Like Presentation in an Asymptomatic COVID-19 Patient.

In clinical practice, there are a lot of variations in disease manifestations. Diseases are constantly evolving, and one negative test cannot completely rule out a disease. Erythema multiforme (EM) is a common mucocutaneous disease that can be linked to a lot of etiologies, with the most common being herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, , and the use of various drugs.

A Case of Castleman Disease: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Castleman disease (CD) is a disorder characterized by lymphoid proliferation. It is not usually the first differential for pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) because of the extremely rare incidence worldwide. We report the case of a 24-year-old man with PUO for six months.

Tension Pneumocephalus From an Eroding Cholesteatoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Pneumocephalus is defined as the presence of air inside the cranial vault. Benign and tension pneumocephalus are different ends of the same disease spectrum. Tension pneumocephalus leads to the formation of a pressure gradient, requiring emergent surgical decompression to prevent herniation of the intracranial structures.

Pyogenic Liver Abscess and Sepsis Caused by Streptococcus constellatus in the Immunocompetent Host.

Streptococcus constellatus is a member of Streptococcus milleri group which is a subgroup of Viridans streptococci, first described by Guthof in 1956 after being isolated from dental abscesses. S. constellatus, a gram positive, non-sporing, non-motile, catalase negative cocci, is the normal flora of the oropharyngeal, gastrointestinal and urogenital tract.
