Summary
Oxaliplatin can cause rare neurological side effects. This case study details a transient ischemic attack (TIA)-like event occurring after the second dose of oxaliplatin, highlighting a delayed onset of neurotoxicity.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Neurology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Oxaliplatin is a cornerstone chemotherapy agent for colorectal cancer.
- Neurological adverse events associated with oxaliplatin are documented but typically manifest early in treatment.
- Reported neurological side effects include amaurosis fugax, stroke, and cranial nerve palsies.

01:27Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
179
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...
