Management of aberrant crossing of superficial external pudendal artery during robotic video-endoscopic inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy: a video case study.

Inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy remains a critical component of staging and treatment for vulvar and penile squamous cell carcinoma. Traditionally performed via an open approach, this procedure is associated with significant morbidity, including lymphocyst formation, chronic lymphedema, and delayed recovery. A minimally invasive alternative, via laparoscopic or robotic platforms, is gaining traction as it is associated with a lower risk of surgical morbidity.

Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Blood Pressure Control in Young Adults With a Family History of Hypertension.

Background: Hypertension is a primary reason for heart problems that lead to death or illness across the globe, and people with a family history are more prone to it. Stress is known to cause an increase in blood pressure, but the specific influence of stress perception on individuals in this high-risk group remains unclear. This study examines the relationship between perceived stress and blood pressure control in young adults with a family history of hypertension.

Healthcare professionals' experiences in preparing patients for elective alcohol detoxification - a service-level qualitative case-study.

Background: Services for individuals severely physically dependent on alcohol, wishing to undergo detoxification are limited. This is partly due to a lack of evidence surrounding safe alcohol reduction advice.

Objectives: To summarize the practices from an elective alcohol detoxification service provided by Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB) (Birmingham, United Kingdom) aimed at preparing high-risk individuals for detoxification.

A Rare Case of a Dual-Mechanism-Based Thrombocytopenia Secondary to Carbamazepine in an Epileptic Patient.

Among antiepileptic drugs, carbamazepine often causes various hematological complications, one of which is thrombocytopenia. Reports of immune-mediated and myelosuppressive pathways being involved separately are common, but cases in which both occur together, known as dual-mechanism thrombocytopenia, are not very common. This case described a 35-year-old lady who had epilepsy and presented with unexplained bleeding and a notable decline in the level of her platelets.

Femoral vein ligation for groin recurrence in a woman with vulval squamous cell carcinoma: A case report.

The management of groin recurrences in women with vulval cancer presents a significant therapeutic challenge. Groin recurrences, particularly those involving the femoral vessels, are associated with poor outcomes. Historically, surgery was often not offered in such cases, exposing patients to the risk of fatal complications from femoral vessel blow-out, leading to exsanguination.

Exploring the Evolution of Breast Cancer Imaging: A Review of Conventional and Emerging Modalities.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of malignancy among women, and its prevalence is exponentially rising globally. Early and accurate imaging is critical for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning. This comprehensive review explores the current status of BC imaging, from the conventional methods such as mammography, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to more advanced techniques including contrast-enhanced imaging, tomosynthesis, and molecular breast imaging (MBI).

The Potential Role of Quantum Computing in Biomedicine and Healthcare: The Next Frontier Beyond Artificial Intelligence.

Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize biomedicine and healthcare, offering computational advantages that surpass classical and artificial intelligence-based approaches. Its ability to process complex biological data, simulate molecular interactions, and optimize drug discovery presents unprecedented opportunities for personalized medicine and disease modeling. Quantum algorithms can enhance genomic analysis, accelerating diagnostics and therapeutic interventions.

Exploring Internal Medicine by a Comparative Schematic Analysis of the Long-Term Outcomes of Anticoagulation Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia with increased risks of stroke and other cardiovascular complications. This research examined the long-term outcomes of anticoagulation therapy in AF patients, focusing on its benefits for stroke reduction, bleeding hazards, and survival rates. Researchers conducted an extensive literature search that combined PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to retrieve publications from 2015 to 2025.

Factors influencing UK arthroplasty surgeons' decision-making between total and medial unicompartmental knee surgery: A vignette-based behavioural experiment.

Purpose: Surgical options for end-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA) include total and medial unicompartmental knee replacement (TKR and UKR). Deciding which surgery to perform is complex and ill-defined, yet it has important implications for patients and the health service. The study aimed to identify clinical and surgeon factors predicting surgeons' preferences.

A Rare Case of Disseminated Tuberculosis Presenting As a Frontal Headache and Photophobia in the UK.

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by  (TB), demonstrating a vast clinical spectrum that can potentially involve all systems of the body. We present the case of a female in her late 20s, with an employment background in healthcare. She recently moved to the UK from India.

Denosumab-Induced Recurrent Severe Hypocalcaemia in a Patient With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Case Report.

Denosumab is a human monoclonal immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) antibody that is used in the management of osteoporosis and various bone-related disorders to help strengthen bones and prevent fractures. Declining renal function and the drug denosumab are both associated with an increased risk of hypocalcaemia. The combination of both factors in a patient, along with the long half-life of the drug, can cause further exacerbation of this risk.
