The knowledge of most oncologic emergencies is crucial in daily practice. Treatment options for the superior vena cava syndrome include chemotherapy, radiation, and intravenous stenting. Hypercalcemia due to malignancy is treated with aggressive rehydration and intravenous bisphosphonates. Febrile neutropenia is a hematologic emergency that usually requires inpatient therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Epidural spinal cord compression must be recognized early and can be treated with dexamethason, radiation, or surgery.

In a previous report, we showed that voltage-gated K+ (Kv) Kv1 and Kv2 channels are involved in cAMP-induced neuritogenesis of mouse neuronal N2A cells. In this report, we examined the effects of tannic acid (TA) on Kv channels and neuritogenesis in N2A cells. TA (15 μM) mildly enhanced Kv currents at -30 to -20 mV but strongly inhibited Kv currents at higher voltages, causing a preferential activation of currents at low voltages.

Objective: This study utilized a sample of trangender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse (TGD) patients to build on emerging literature that suggests that hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may be overrepresented in TGD populations. The objective of this retrospective chart review was to determine the prevalence of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome syndrome at a gender-affirming primary care clinic.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of medical records was conducted with records between May 2021 and June 2024.
