Introduction: Muscle invasive bladder cancer during pregnancy is scarcely reported.
Case Presentation: A 41-year-old ex-smoker Asian female, managed with clean intermittent catheterization for 3 years due to neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord disease, presented with gross hematuria at 10 weeks of gestation. The patient was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer, cT3aN0M0. Maternal treatment was prioritized and gemcitabine plus cisplatin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy was started at 17 weeks of gestation. Cesarean section was performed at 32 weeks of gestation, followed by robot-assisted radical cystectomy 3 weeks later. Histopathological examination revealed urothelial carcinoma, G3, ypT3b. Postoperative adjuvant nivolumab followed by enfortumab vedotin was not successful and the patient died 8 months after robot-assisted radical cystectomy. Unfortunately, the premature infant with congenital heart disease died of necrotizing enterocolitis at 1-month-old.
Conclusion: Gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy in the patient with muscle invasive bladder cancer during pregnancy was safe but ultimately resulted in unfavorable outcomes in this case.

Preclinical studies have shown that the blood from female mice exposed weekly to magnetic fields inhibited breast cancer growth. This double-blind randomized controlled trial investigated whether analogous magnetic therapy could produce similar anticancer sera from human subjects. Twenty-six healthy adult females (ages 30-45) were assigned to either a magnetic therapy group, receiving twice weekly 1 mT magnetic exposures (10 min/session) for 4 weeks, or a control group, who underwent identical sham exposure.

Background: Airway management in emergency situations poses significant challenges, particularly in patients with difficult airway anatomy or comorbid conditions. Blind nasal intubation has been explored as a rescue technique when conventional methods fail. Masseter muscle rigidity (MMR), characterized by significant jaw muscle stiffness, is a recognized complication following succinylcholine administration that can complicate traditional approaches to securing an airway.

The article titled "Role of the Maneuver in Sinusitis and Eustachian Tube Dysfunction" explores the efficacy of a novel technique known as the Maneuver. Sinusitis and Eustachian tube dysfunction are prevalent respiratory conditions often linked to impaired mucociliary flow and poor nasal clearance. Traditional maneuvers such as the Toynbee and Valsalva techniques provide temporary relief by forcefully opening the Eustachian tube but carry risks of injury and complications and does not work for sinusitis.

Primary gingival diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with muscle invasion is rare and accounts for ~0.5% of all reported cases of extranodal lymphoma. The present study describes the case of a 49-year-old man that initially presented at Yingshan County People's Hospital (Nanchong, China) in August 2017 with a chief complaint of tenderness and swelling of the jaw.

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) involves the buildup of transthyretin protein in the heart muscle in the form of amyloid fibrils, which can affect heart structure and function. Common ECG findings of ATTR-CA include low QRS voltage and a pseudo-myocardial infarction (MI) pattern, defined as pathological Q waves or QS complexes in two consecutive leads without a history of MI or echocardiographic evidence of akinetic areas. Here, we present a case of ATTR-CA in a very elderly patient, in whom pathological Q waves on ECG were true indicators of a prior inferior MI.
