Published: December 2021

Acquired perforating dermatoses (APDs) are a group of diverse skin disorders in patients with systemic disease, most commonly chronic renal failure and diabetes mellitus. APD induced by medication has seldom been reported. Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody has recently been used as a broad-spectrum, effective, durable, and relatively safe antitumor therapy for various malignancies. Thus far, known side effects involving skin have included rash, pruritus, and vitiligo. Here, we present a rare case of a unilateral linear eruption with histopathologic features of APD in a 36-year-old man during treatment with Terepril monoclonal antibody. To the best of our knowledge, APD induced by the PD-1 inhibitor has not been described in the medical literature.

Purpose: During endovascular revascularization interventions for peripheral arterial disease, the standard modality of X-ray fluoroscopy (XRF) used for image guidance is limited in visualizing distal segments of infrapopliteal vessels. To enhance visualization of arteries, an image registration technique was developed to align pre-acquired computed tomography (CT) angiography images and to create fusion images highlighting arteries of interest.

Methods: X-ray image metadata capturing the position of the X-ray gantry initializes a multiscale iterative optimization process, which uses a local-variance masked normalized cross-correlation loss to rigidly align a digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) of the CT dataset with the target X-ray, using the edges of the fibula and tibia as the basis for alignment.

Constipation is found in individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, and cerebral palsy. Although generally a benign condition, it may lead to life-threatening intestinal obstruction, with or without volvulus, or to stercoral ulceration with enteritis and/or perforation. Two unusual cases of lethal chronic constipation are reported to demonstrate other very rare fatal mechanisms that may occur.

Acquired perforating dermatoses (APD) encompass a group of skin conditions distinguished by transepidermal elimination of dermal components. Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC), a subtype of APD, has been reported most commonly in association with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and medications. In this report, we identify a novel case of ARPC secondary to Cabozantinib treatment.

Background: Acquired spontaneous intestinal perforation or SIP occurs most commonly in the extremely premature infant population. As the incidence is rising, understanding modifiable factors such as common medication exposures becomes important for individualizing care.

Methods: The primary outcome was SIP in premature infants with exposure to indomethacin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen.

Introduction And Importance: Diverticular disease of the appendix is a rare condition often mistaken for acute appendicitis, with most cases diagnosed incidentally during histopathology, underscoring the importance of comprehensive pathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

Case Presentation: A 34-year-old male presented with one day of periumbilical pain migrating to the right iliac fossa, without vomiting or bowel changes. Clinical examination revealed tenderness in the RIF.
