Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease often associated with lymphoproliferative disorders. PNP causes hemorrhagic stomatitis of the lips, tongue, and cheeks which can be painful and difficult to treat.
A 54-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of Stage IV lymphoma and paraneoplastic pemphigus. Due to pain from oral stomatitis, he required a gastrostomy tube for delivery of nutritional tube feeds. He was placed on steroids and received both lidocaine mouthwash and opioids, but his pain persisted.
A palliative care consult was obtained for management of his pain. The palliative team recommended topical ketamine for the treatment of the painful lip lesions. The patient felt immediate relief with the application of ketamine and his pain level was reduced to a 5/10. The following day, his pain was 0/10. Five days later, the opioids were discontinued and the pain relief continued.
Painful stomatitis from PNP may be refractory to standard treatment. We found that the application of topical ketamine was very effective in this patient with hemorrhagic stomatitis from PNP.

Amid the rush to develop treatments, recent hopes have focused on the anti-malarial drug chloroquine or the derivative hydroxychloroquine. Here, we briefly discuss the evidence for the potential use of these drugs with regard to the current pandemic.
Evaluation of critical events training for clinical perfusionists is necessary to improve this educational approach. Critical events checklists are effective in reducing clinical complications, but should be tested in a simulation environment first. Individual behavior and stress response of clinical perfusionists during simulated critical events on cardiopulmonary bypass have not been evaluated yet. This study focuses on the evaluation of critical events training and critical events checklists in simulated cardiopulmonary bypass.
A total of 19 clinical perfusionists from a single hospital took part in two simulated critical event scenarios. Clinical perfusionist behavior and physiological responses were recorded using eye tracking, heart rate variability, video, and audio. In addition, workloads were determined and participants were interviewed.
Relevant areas of interest were identified for each simulation phase. During critical event detection and subsequent decision-making, areas of interest hits an of correct decision-making and shortens the correct decision time. Temporal workload is increased when using a checklist. Eye tracking and heart rate variability are well suited to evaluate participants' behaviors and stress levels. All participants welcomed simulation training for critical incidents.Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology involves degeneration of nigrostriatal pathway, postulating symptoms associated with age, environment, and genetic anomalies, including nonlinear disease progression. Hallmark characteristics of PD include dopaminergic neuronal degeneration and death, which may also be exhibited by other neurological diseases, making the diagnosis of the disease intricate at early stage. Such obscure diagnosis of the disease, limited symptomatic improvements with available therapeutics, and their inability to modify the disease status instigate us to appraise the past research and formulate the colligating comprehensive insights. This review is accentuating on the role of nitric oxide, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and their association with the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) during PD pathology involving focus on ubiquitin ligases due to their regulatory functions. Meticulous understanding of these major disease-related pathological events and their functional alliance may render novel dimensions for better understanding of disease etiology, related mechanisms, as well as direction toward witnessing of new therapeutic targets for the management of Parkinson's patients.Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) became a nightmare for the world since December 2019. Although the disease affects people at any age; elderly patients and those with comorbidities were more affected. Everyday nephrologists see patients with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, maintenance dialysis treatment or kidney transplant who are also high-risk groups for the COVID-19. Beyond that, COVID-19 or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) due to infection may directly affect kidney functions. This broad spectrum of COVID-19 influence on kidney patients and kidney functions obviously necessitate an up to date management policy for nephrological care. This review overviews and purifies recently published literature in a question to answer format for the practicing nephrologists that will often encounter COVID-19 and kidney related cases during the pandemic times.Knowledge of inter-strain and inter-gender differences in drug metabolism studies is important for animal selection in pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies. NMS-873 manufacturer The effects of rat strain and gender in in vitro metabolism were investigated in Sprague Dawley (SD) and Wister Han (WH) rats based on the hepatocyte metabolic profiles of 14 small molecule drugs. Similarities were found between the hepatocyte metabolic clearances of SD and WH strains, suggesting that only one strain can be confidently used for the evaluation of hepatic clearance. Neither strain of rat was preferable over the other to cover human metabolites. Higher similarities in metabolic pathways were found between the same gender than the same strain. Differences in metabolite identities, metabolite formation rates and potential biotransformation pathways were observed between SD and WH rat strains. Eleven metabolites from six drugs were "disproportionally" formed between SD and WH rats. The use of a specific rat strain model and gender for ADME and toxicity testing should, therefore, be carefully considered as metabolic profiles may differ, even though metabolic clearance was similar between SD and WH rats.
