A case is presented of an anomalous course of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve. Wide and meticulous exposure is necessary to avoid injury to all variations of this nerve and the use of a "safe" incision will not always avoid risk of injury.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms are severe cutaneous adverse reactions to drugs that are generally considered distinct entities. In addition to identifying the offending medication, distinguishing between these diagnoses is important, as they have differing treatment regimens and prognoses. Distinction between severe cutaneous adverse reactions, particularly in the early stages of disease, can be difficult, and overlapping conditions have been reported in the literature.

Several studies have looked into the effectiveness of bleomycin treatment for warts using various injection methods, such as intralesional injection, multiple puncture technique, jet injection, and moonlet needle prick method, in various concentrations and doses. However, injection methods have been linked to acute pain and bleeding. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of microneedling combination with topical bleomycin and cryotherapy in the treatment of resistant warts on the hands and feet.

Article Synopsis
- The median artery usually disappears after two months of fetal development but can persist into adulthood, sometimes associated with variations like a bifid median nerve.
- A cadaver study revealed a unique case with bilateral persistent median arteries (PMA) and a bifid median nerve, as well as an unusual origin and path for the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCBMN).
- Dissection of a 45-year-old male cadaver showed that the PMA arose from the ulnar artery, leading to differing branching patterns in the hands, and highlighted the importance of recognizing these variations for understanding carpal tunnel syndrome and surgical risks.

Background: Acral melanoma (AM) is an aggressive melanoma variant that arises from palmar, plantar, and nail unit melanocytes. Compared to non-acral cutaneous melanoma (CM), AM is biologically distinct, has an equal incidence across genetic ancestries, typically presents in advanced stage disease, is less responsive to therapy, and has an overall worse prognosis.
Methods: An independent analysis of published sequencing data was performed to evaluate the frequency of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands and adapter protein gene variants and expression.
