Article Synopsis
- - Peripheral edema is common in various health issues like CHF, liver disease, and post-surgery, with impacts ranging from mild to severe, affecting daily life.
- - Despite extensive research on its causes, there is a lack of literature examining the effectiveness and adherence to current management techniques for edema.
- - New therapies such as calf muscle stimulation, leg raises, high-dose albumin, and negative pressure lymph drainage show promise, offering alternatives beyond traditional methods like diuretics and compression stockings, which have limitations in preventing edema recurrence.
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is the accumulation of blood in the epidural space of the spinal cord. Acute SSEH is a rare phenomenon that presents with a wide variety of neurologic symptoms and most often is a surgical emergency. We present a previously healthy 34-year-old male with sudden onset progressive weakness and tingling in the right lower extremity that progressed to the left lower extremity while bench pressing weights, resulting in complete lower extremity paralysis.

- - Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare type of skin cancer that usually occurs in areas around the eyes, but can also appear on the head, neck, or anywhere there are sebaceous glands, with increasing cases noted in the U.S.
- - A patient had a large, necrotic mass on their upper back, initially misdiagnosed as a benign sebaceous adenoma, before it was confirmed to be sebaceous carcinoma, characterized by aggressive growth patterns.
- - After surgical removal with clear margins and no signs of recurrence, the patient was recommended to follow up with oncology due to the cancer's aggressive nature and rarity, highlighting an atypical case presentation.
Despite the successes of immunotherapy, melanoma remains one of the deadliest cancers, therefore, the need for innovation remains high. We previously reported anti-melanoma compounds that work by downregulating spliceosomal proteins hnRNPH1 and H2. In a separate study, we reported that these compounds were non-toxic to Balb/C mice at 50 mg/kg suggesting their utility in in vivo studies.
