Characteristics and management of tumor treating fields-related dermatological complications in patients with glioblastoma.

Tumor treating fields (TTFields) is a novel approved modality for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) exhibiting a satisfactory effect. Although TTFields has shown considerable safety for the normal brain, dermatological adverse events (DAEs) often occur during therapy. However, studies focused on the identification and management of DAEs are rare.

Stability analysis for a new fractional order N species network.

The present paper considers a fractional-order N species network, in which, the general functions are used for finding general theories. The existence, uniqueness, and non-negativity of the solutions for the considered model are proved. Moreover, the local and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point are studied by using eigenvalue method and Lyapunov direct method.

[Observation on theraputic effect of five-needle-in-nape acupuncture for treatment of poststroke pesudobulbar paralysis dysphagia].

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effect of five-needle-in-nape acupuncture treatment and the routine acupuncture treatment for poststroke pesudobulbar paralysis dysphagia.

Methods: Sixty cases were randomly divided into a five-needle-in-nape (FNN) group and a routine acupuncture (RA) group (n=30 in each group). Ya-men (GV 15), Tianzhu (BL10), Zhiqiang acupoint (Extra) were needled and the training of swallowing was practiced when needling in FNN group.
