This case report presents a 51 year old female patient who had a train accident in 1999. She suffered bilateral trans-tibial and bilateral trans-radial amputations. In this paper, the evolution of the right transradial amputation where eventually a Krukenberg procedure was performed, is described as is its good functional outcome after rehabilitation treatment. After this first procedure the patient also asked for the Krukenberg procedure for her left arm.

Anemia in Myelofibrosis: A Focus on Proactive Management and the Role of Momelotinib.

Anemia is a common and progressive clinical manifestation of myelofibrosis that may occur as part of the disease pathogenesis as well as due to the myelosuppressive effects of some treatments, with a substantial impact on quality of life, prognosis, and healthcare resource utilization. Despite these burdens, anemia management has traditionally been a secondary priority to spleen and symptom control, due in part to the limitations of available therapeutic approaches. With the initial regulatory approvals of momelotinib, a Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), JAK2, and activin A receptor type 1 inhibitor that provides anemia-related benefits in addition to addressing splenomegaly and symptoms, re-evaluation of anemia as an early and prominent treatment consideration is warranted.

Introduction: A concave iris configuration is a characteristic feature of pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS). Therapeutic strategies to modify this configuration may be considered as first-line options for the treatment of ocular hypertension in PDS patients.
Case Description: A 37-year-old male patient with myopic anisometropia presented bilateral PDS with concave iris, Krukenberg's spindle and iris transillumination defect in both eyes.
Functional Restoration of Bilateral Wrist Level Hand Amputee with Six-Toe Transfers and Three Free Flaps: An Alternative to Hand Allotransplantation or Prosthesis.

Hand amputation at the wrist level is severely disabling, especially when bilateral. It is paramount to restore the hand function to the best possible level for the patient's daily living activities, as well as optimal social and occupational rehabilitation. There are various options for restoration of function after amputation at wrist and distal forearm levels including Krukenberg's operation, variations of toe transfers, hand allotransplantation, and prosthesis.

Background And Objective: Krukenberg tumours (KTs) are metastatic signet ring cell (SRC) adenocarcinomas of the ovary, arising from the stomach in most cases (70%). Other common primary sites are the colon, appendix and breast. The use of the term "Krukenberg tumour" is inconsistent in the literature which makes data interpretation difficult.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the quality of cancer care in Sub-Saharan Africa by examining how well diagnostic and treatment practices align with NCCN guidelines in 10 countries.
- Researchers analyzed data from adult cancer patients and identified a low rate of guideline adherence, especially for cancers like cervical and colorectal cancer, which had the poorest compliance.
- The findings highlighted significant gaps in diagnostic and treatment services, especially in lower HDI countries, indicating a need for improvements to increase curable cancer cases across the region.
