Article Synopsis
- Unilateral weakness in the upper extremity can result from traumatic nerve injuries or, less commonly, central nervous system lesions that mimic peripheral nerve damage, such as pseudoperipheral hand palsy.
- A case study of a 70-year-old male revealed isolated left-side weakness linked to a tumor in the 'hand knob' area of the brain, which is responsible for upper extremity movement, indicating possible serious underlying health issues.
- This case highlights that normal nerve conduction studies suggest the need for neuroimaging, as brain lesions causing similar symptoms may be related to malignancies rather than just strokes.
Objectives: While the predictive value of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) protein expression for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy of lung cancer has been extensively studied, the impact of standard platinum-based chemotherapy on PD-L1 or programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) expression is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in PD-L1 expression of tumor cells (TC) and immune cells (IC), in PD-1 expression of IC, and in the amount of stromal mononuclear cell infiltration after platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer.
Materials And Methods: We determined the amount of stromal mononuclear cells and PD-L1/PD-1 expressions by immunohistochemistry in bronchoscopic biopsy samples including 20 adenocarcinomas (ADC), 15 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), 2 other types of non-small cell lung cancer, and 4 small cell lung cancers together with their corresponding surgical resection tissues after platinum-based chemotherapy.
Sixteen percent of primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by ectopic parathyroid glands. These cases present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. In this article we present the case of a patient underwent surgery for a mediastinal parathyroid adenoma causing symptomatic hypercalcaemia.
