Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from schwann cells in peripheral, cranial, and autonomic nerve sheaths. Approximately half of all cases of schwannomas are observed in the head and neck region. In this study, a 71-year-old male patient presenting with a stiff mobile mass in the left supraclavicular region and diagnosed as a schwannoma after total excision was presented.

Introduction: Regional anesthesia is frequently used for upper limb surgeries and postoperative pain control. Different approaches to brachial plexus blocks are similarly effective but may differ in the frequency and severity of iatrogenesis. We, therefore, examined large-scale registry data to explore the risks of typical complications among different brachial plexus block sites for regional anesthesia.

Background: The addition of intravenous dexamethasone can significantly prolong analgesia and reduce opioid-related side effects after brachial plexus blockade, but the most effective administration time is yet unknown. The objective of this study is to determine if the timing of administration of dexamethasone affects the duration of analgesia after supraclavicular brachial plexus block.
Methods: This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial performed at a single-center, tertiary academic health sciences center.

Purpose: The C4 dermatome anesthesia holds significance for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, the reliability of achieving C4 dermatome anesthesia with the current low-dose ultrasound-guided interscalene block (ISB) and supraclavicular block (SCB) remains uncertain. This prospective, single-center study examined the effects of ultrasound-guided interscalene block (ISB) and supraclavicular block (SCB) on the C4 sensory dermatome in patients undergoing shoulder, hand, or wrist surgery.

Background: Automation in radiotherapy presents a promising solution to the increasing cancer burden and workforce shortages. However, existing automated methods for breast radiotherapy lack a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that meets varying standards of care.
Purpose: This study aims to develop a complete portfolio of automated radiotherapy treatment planning for intact breasts, tailored to individual patient factors, clinical approaches, and available resources.

The occurrence of genital lymphedema with lower extremity involvement is rare. There is no standard approach in the management of combined genital and lower extremity lymphedema (CGLL). The limited literature available on the management of CGLL reveals the use of multiple procedures, including vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA), and debulking.
