A Rare Case of Rapidly Progressing Merkel Cell Carcinoma.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine tumor, known for its rapid progression and poor prognosis. It most commonly affects elderly and immunocompromised individuals, with variable clinical presentations that can make diagnosis challenging. MCC is often mistaken for other skin malignancies, such as basal or squamous cell carcinoma, or even benign skin lesions.

Rapid Recovery From Bell's Palsy Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Facial Nerve: A Case Report.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive tool that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific regions within the brain, has emerged as a versatile treatment modality in both research and clinical settings. While its utilization in psychiatry for treatment-resistant depression is well established, TMS is increasingly gaining traction for its use in diverse neurological conditions, including idiopathic facial nerve palsy, post-stroke rehabilitation, autism spectrum disorder, and hereditary ataxia. Through its ability to trigger neuronal plasticity and potentiate synaptic transmission, it is able to provide significant therapeutic potential.
