Abstract:

Neurologic complications are common in patients with melanoma and are often associated with a poor prognosis. In an era with new, effective treatments, patients are living longer, and this has resulted in an increase in complications of both the disease and the therapy. A multidisciplinary approach to neurologic complications in patients with melanoma, with involvement from medical oncology, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology, and often neurosurgery, is necessary. In this review, neurologic complications of melanoma, including clinical implications and treatment strategies, are described.

Local Anesthetics: Adverse Effects

Local Anesthetics: Adverse Effects

While local anesthetics are generally safe and well-tolerated, they can occasionally cause adverse effects that vary in severity. Local anesthetics can induce toxicity at two distinct levels. They can either produce local effects through direct contact with the neural elements or be absorbed into the bloodstream from the injection site, leading to systemic effects.
Once absorbed into the systemic circulation, local anesthetics can affect the organs that depend on the functioning of sodium...

Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...
