Tandem occlusion due to acute cervical carotid artery dissection should be promptly treated with thrombectomy for reperfusion. If the cervical lesion has reached severe stenosis or complete occlusion, balloon angioplasty and, in certain cases, carotid artery stenting should be performed before thrombectomy for the intracranial lesion. Angioplasty or stent placement is performed in the true lumen, but securing the placement is challenging when the true lumen cannot be determined.

Anaesthesia for paediatric radiotherapy: A narrative review.

Anaesthesia

January 2025

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK.

Introduction: Radiotherapy is currently used in approximately one-third of children with cancer. Treatments are typically received as weekday outpatient appointments over 3-6 weeks. The treatment is painless but requires a still, co-operative patient who can lie alone in set positions, facilitated by the use of immobilisation devices, for up to 1 h.

Article Synopsis
  • Introduction of long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) for HIV prevention showed effectiveness, and this study examines its safety and pharmacokinetics in pregnant women participating in the HPTN 084 trial during a blinded period.
  • In the study, pregnant participants were divided into two groups receiving either CAB-LA or TDF/FTC, with careful monitoring of pregnancy outcomes and maternal adverse events, finding that there was no significant difference in adverse event rates or poor pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.
  • The analysis revealed a total of 57 confirmed pregnancies over 3845 person-years, with 81% resulting in live births, and the study concluded that CAB-LA did not result in significantly different safety or outcomes

A case of subcutaneous metastatic malignant melanoma of the left medial ankle: a case report and review of literature.

J Med Case Rep

December 2024

College of Medicine and Life Sciences, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Toledo, 3000 Arlington Ave, Toledo, OH, 43614, USA.

Background: Although rare, melanoma confined to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue without evidence of a primary cutaneous site should provoke consideration of melanoma of unknown primary. This diagnosis carries a favorable prognosis when compared with cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Several hypotheses have been proposed for how melanoma of unknown primary develops, two of which were considered in our patient case: (1) spontaneous regression of the primary tumor following metastasis or (2) the traumatic implantation of ectopic melanocytic cells in other tissues, such as the subcutaneous tissue.

N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q), an oxidative derivative of tire anti-degradant, has been linked to mortality in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and has exhibited potential human toxicity. Hence, exploring how 6PPD-Q interacts with biomacromolecules like enzymes is indispensable to assess its human toxicity and elucidate its mechanism of action. This investigation aims to explore the impact of 6PPD-Q on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) through various methods.
