Background: The role of primary-level medical pharmacists in medical institutions in China is limited; therefore, it is necessary to explore the role of pharmacists in the process of drug treatment.
Case Summary: A Chinese pharmacist participated in the complete treatment of a patient with a duodenal ulcer. The rationale for drug treatment was evaluated, and adjustments were made to the antacid and anti-infective regimen, as well as the dose and frequency of administration. Body temperature, routine blood examination, and adverse drug reactions were strictly monitored. During treatment, the pharmacist recommended anti-infective therapy with ampicillin-sulbactam, which effectively controlled the infection. Additionally, the pharmacist suggested changing famotidine to lansoprazole for acid suppression and gastroprotective treatment, combined with Chinese patent medicine such as Kangfuxin Liquid. This is the first case report of a pharmacist in primary-level medical institutions adjusting drug use for patients with duodenal ulcer and pulmonary infection.
Conclusion: A pharmacist participated in the treatment process, provided individualized medication adjustment, and achieved good clinical results.

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.

Background: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) and subcutaneous emphysema (SE) are rare, severe, and potentially life-threatening complications associated with asthma exacerbation. Most of these conditions are benign and self-limiting. However, the overlapping symptoms between asthma exacerbation and pneumomediastinum (PM) may delay diagnosis.

Background/aim: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare cancers originating from Cajal's stromal cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The most common driver mutation in these cancers is the KIT mutation. This report presents a case of response to low-dose imatinib in a patient with GIST harboring KIT exon 11 W557_K558 deletion.

Background/aim: Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is characterised by a temporary neurological dysfunction resulting from focal ischaemia in the brain, spinal cord or retina without acute infarction. These episodes typically last less than 24 hours and are significant predictors of subsequent ischaemic strokes. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cerebrovascular events, and primary aldosteronism (PA) is recognised as a common cause of secondary hypertension.
