Practice points for lymphoedema care in low- and middle- income countries developed by nominal group technique.

Background: Lymphoedema is a common, distressing, and debilitating condition affecting more than 200 million people globally. There is a small body of evidence to guide lymphoedema care which underpins several lymphoedema clinical practice guidelines developed for high-income countries (HIC). Some of these recommendations are unlikely to be feasible in low-resource settings.

Pembrolizumab-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.

Immunotherapy has nowadays become part of the mainstay of treatment for several cancers. In this report, we present a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) occurring as a relatively rare complication of pembrolizumab, which is a humanized monoclonal anti-programmed cell death-1 (anti-PD1) IgG4 antibody that targets tumours expressing PDL-1. In our case, this monoclonal antibody (MAB) was being used for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, before being withheld because of this potentially life-threatening reaction.

Improving care for cancer-related and other forms of lymphoedema in low- and middle-income countries: a qualitative study.

Background: Lymphoedema is a common, distressing and debilitating condition that can be related to cancer and its treatment or other conditions. Little is known about current practices in the diagnosis, assessment and management of lymphoedema in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Aim: To describe current practices in diagnosing, assessing and managing cancer-related and other forms of lymphoedema in LMIC, and related barriers and facilitators.

Rare cause of deranged liver profile in pregnancy.

We present the case of a 33-year-old pregnant woman with an abnormal liver profile secondary to liver metastases from colon cancer. The patient presented in her third trimester with non-specific symptoms. Blood tests revealed a cholestatic liver picture, initially attributed to prurigo gravidarum.
