A 95-year-old woman presented with a progressive purple blue asymptomatic tumorous plaque on her forehead, extending as a macula to the upper face, possibly arisen after a fall. Histology showed atypical epitheloid cells with vascular-lumen formation. The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous angiosarcoma. She was treated palliatively with radiotherapy.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy, arising from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). BPDCN frequently has, at least initially, exclusively cutaneous presentation. We present a 45-year-old woman with a 3-month history of rapidly evolving violaceous patches, infiltrated plaques, and bruise-like tumefactions, disseminated on her face and upper trunk.

Background: Blood donation is a safe process though reactions may still occur. We describe a rare vascular complication in a frequent donor, with improvements in the collection process aimed at avoiding future events.
Methods: A 63-year-old woman presented with local pain and an apparent collection in the left arm 8 days after donation.

Electronic address:
Introduction: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) injections are the first-line treatment for primary hemifacial spasms (HFS), but require frequent painful injections. Although micro-hypodermic needles are commonly used for aesthetic BoNT/A injections to lessen pain and bruising, their benefits in HFS remain unclear.
Objective: To compare side effects of BoNT/A injection, specifically pain and bruising, between primary HFS patients who received injections using micro-hypodermic needles (34-G) and those using standard needles (30-G).

Aims: Implantation of an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) is a simple procedure, but adds significant and increasing workload to the arrhythmia service. In 2020, we established a nurse-led ICM implantation service. We aimed to analyse patient satisfaction, adverse events during implant, and ICM re-interventions with nurse-led ICM implantation (N-Implant) compared to physician-led ICM implantation (P-Implant).

Impact microindentation (IMI) is a technique to assess bone material properties of the cortical bone at the tibia in a transcutaneous, microinvasive, way. IMI is increasingly used in studies evaluating the contribution of tissue material properties to bone fragility in humans, and is approved for use in the clinic in Europe and the United States. Previous data show that IMI is well tolerated during and immediately after the procedure.
