Trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) solution is used to treat vulvar condyloma and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) detects intrauterine pathology and fallopian tube patency in infertile patients. A 33-year-old Caucasian nulliparous fertility patient presented to the emergency department with extensive burns following accidental intrauterine instillation of TCAA during SIS with tubal perfusion.

Although gemcitabine sometimes shows excellent effectiveness, cancer cells are often poorly responsive to or resistant to the drug. Recently, specific strains or dysbiosis of the human microbiome were correlated with drug reactivity and resistance acquisition.

This study aimed to develop an improved prognostic model by incorporating pathology and parameters of biologic response (BR).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients who underwent curative-intent surgery following chemotherapy.
Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic epidural neuroplasty (EEN) is a procedure that uses direct visualization to better relieve nerve pain in the back compared to the traditional percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN).
- A study examined the effectiveness of EEN and PEN on lower back and radicular pain by analyzing patient records, finding that 107 patients underwent either EEN (73) or PEN (34).
- Results showed that patients who received EEN reported greater pain reduction on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and improved functionality on the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at 1 day and at both 1 and 6 months after treatment compared to those who received PEN.
Introduction: Primary malignant hepatic vascular tumors with various malignant potentials include epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and angiosarcoma (AS), which may overlap pathologically. This study aimed to compare the pathological findings of hepatic EHE with those of AS, in association with patient outcomes.
Methods: Fifty-nine histologically confirmed patients with 34 EHE and 25 AS were admitted to a tertiary hospital from 2003 to 2020.
