Article Abstract

Development of effective treatments for high-grade glioma (HGG) is hampered by (1) the blood-brain barrier (BBB), (2) an infiltrative growth pattern, (3) rapid development of therapeutic resistance, and, in many cases, (4) dose-limiting toxicity due to systemic exposure. Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) has the potential to significantly limit systemic toxicity and increase therapeutic index by directly delivering homogenous drug concentrations to the site of disease. In this review, we present clinical experiences and preclinical developments of CED in the setting of high-grade gliomas.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a multisystem infectious disease with both pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. TB can also induce a hypercoagulable state, setting off a cascade of changes in the body, including systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and abnormalities in the coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways. Collectively, these factors significantly increase the risk of venous thromboembolism, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Purpose: Patellofemoral instability is a common knee condition and often associated with trochlear dysplasia. Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty is a surgical option to reshape the trochlear groove and stabilise the patella. Although this procedure is considered safe and effective, the development of postoperative patellofemoral chondral lesions remains a topic of concern.

Introduction: Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, life-threatening mucocutaneous reaction characterized by extensive epidermal detachment and multi-organ involvement. It is most commonly triggered by drugs, including antibiotics such as cephalosporins. Although TEN predominantly affects adults and females, its occurrence in pediatric males is exceedingly rare.

Background: Common cocaine-induced arrhythmias include tachyarrhythmias such as sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation. Most studies evaluating cocaine toxicosis in canines have been performed in an experimental setting, using intravenous administration of the drug. Though helpful, these studies cannot be directly extrapolated in a clinical setting given the different routes of administration.
