Primary acinic cell carcinoma of the breast: A case report and review of literature.

Background: In the current World Health Organization classification, acinic cell carcinoma (AcCC) of the breast is considered a rare histological subtype of triple-negative breast cancer. Because of the few reports in the literature, data concerning clinical outcomes are limited. Here, we report a case of AcCC of the breast in a 48-year-old woman.

Paraganglioma-induced inverted takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy leading to cardiogenic shock successfully treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that originate in the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or lymph nodes. Paragangliomas manifest in rare cases as catecholamine crisis, leading to heart failure, intracranial hemorrhage, renal failure, arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, or multisystem failure. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is also called apical ballooning syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy.

Therapeutic applications of hydrogen sulfide and novel donors for cerebral ischemic stroke: a narrative review.

Ischemic stroke happens when the blood supply to the brain is obstructed and it is associated with numerous complex mechanisms, such as activated apoptosis genes, oxidative stress and reaction of inflammation, which finally result in neurological deficits. Several gases have been proved to have neuroprotective roles, even the classic gases that are thought to be toxic such as hydrogen sulfide (HS). HS is the third identified endogenous gas signaling molecule following carbon monoxide and nitric oxide.

Role of hyperbaric oxygen in glioma: a narrative review.

Gliomas are common brain mass with a high mortality rate. Patients with gliomas have a severely bad outcome, with an average survive duration less 15 months because of high recurrent rate and being resistant to radio-therapy and chemistry drugs therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen is extensively taken as an adjuvant treatment for various disease conditions.

A narrative review of adjuvant therapy for glioma: hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Glioma is a kind of common malignant tumor in neurosurgery and has a high mortality and morbidity rate, which poses a serious threat to the health of people all over the world. Surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with glioma, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be used after surgery. Although there are clear therapeutic protocols, the efficacy and safety of these protocols are clinically proven, a large number of patients are still dissatisfied with the treatment and the health of the patient remains unsatisfactory.
