Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) may present with or without perineural invasion (PNI). We reviewed BCC for PNI by subtype, microscopic tumor surface diameter, invasion depth, and anatomic site.

Method: Consecutive excisions were prospectively collected in an Australian center 2016-2018.

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) may present with perineural invasion (PNI).

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of early invasive SCC with or without PNI.

Methods: Consecutive SCC excisions were prospectively reviewed from a single Australian community-based practice for 2016-2018.

Background: The depth of invasion by basal cell carcinoma (BCC) subtypes varies.

Objective: To investigate BCC invasion depth variation by subtype and anatomic site.

Method: A prospective consecutive case series of excised BCC from 2009 to 2014 in a single Australian clinic.

Background: Invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is typically treated by surgical excision.

Methods: Consecutive SCC excisions were reviewed prospectively in a single Australian center from 2009 to 2017. Cases were examined for recurrence by histopathologic margins, microscopic tumor surface diameter, invasion depth, grade of differentiation, and anatomic site.

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) may present as superficial subtype alone (sBCC) or superficial combined with other subtypes. The objective of this study was to compare sBCC without or with other BCC subtypes by age, sex and anatomic site.

Methods: We retrospectively collected superficial BCC with the above characteristics from an Australian center during 2009 to 2014.

Dysfunction of energy metabolism can be a significant and fundamental pathophysiological basis for strokes. In studies of both humans and rodents, resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, has been reported to provide protection from cerebral ischemic injury by regulating expression of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1). However, direct evidence demonstrating that resveratrol exerts neuroprotection from cerebral ischemia injury by decreasing energy consumption is still lacking.
