Purpose To review and elucidate the complex, multimodal management of periocular cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with perineural invasion (PNI), and offer practical, evidence-based patient care recommendations.Methods Three exemplary cases of high-risk periocular cutaneous SCC with PNI were selected from a single surgeon's experience. The clinical courses, management, and clinical outcomes, with follow-up intervals of 19, 19, and 24 months after presentation, were reviewed. The English-language literature on PNI, with attention to the management of cutaneous SCC of the head and neck (SCCHN), was reviewed.Results PNI of cutaneous SCCHN portends aggressive tumor behavior and a worsened prognosis. Treatment is multimodal, with varied combinations of surgical excision, radiotherapy (RT), and systemic chemotherapy. Retrospective reports from multiple institutions involve heterogenous patient populations, treatment strategies, and confounding variables that preclude formulation of a standardized treatment paradigm. Newer, comparative studies of advanced RT techniques (e.g., hyper-fractionation), novel systemic chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., cetuximab, cemiplimab), and varied integrative regimens are providing additional insights. Prompt initiation of adjuvant therapies (within 6-8 weeks of surgery), and careful evaluation of lymphatic basins can increase oncologic control. Utilizing deep-tissue fixation of advancement flaps and eyelid stabilization can enhance functional and aesthetic results.Conclusion Management of cutaneous SCC with PNI remains complex and in most cases requires combined-modality therapy directed by a multidisciplinary tumor board. Nanvuranlat in vivo With novel therapies and new treatment patterns, optimal combinations and intensities of individual modalities require further elucidation. The oculofacial plastic surgeon plays a pivotal role - in diagnosis, coordination of interdisciplinary management, thoughtful surgical reconstruction, and postoperative surveillance.

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are used extensively to quantify cortical activity in response to noxious and/or non-noxious sensory stimuli. However, data demonstrating the reliability of SEP measures in response to non-noxious stimulation over time are scarce.

We investigated the relative and absolute reliability, and the smallest detectable change at 95% confidence (SDC

) for SEPs evoked by non-noxious electrical stimulation of the paraspinal muscles in thirty-nine healthy participants at a 3-month interval.

SEPs were evoked at an intensity three-times that of each participant's perceptual threshold and recorded from a single electrode placed over the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).

Our analyses reveal that i) latency, as a measure of activity onset, has poor relative reliability but good absolute reliability; ii) area, as a measure of cortical activity, has good relative and absolute reliability (except for the N

component) and iii) perceptual threshold and stimulation intensity was not reliable over time.

These findings suggest that the area of the N

and P

SEP components, and the area of the N

-N

-P

SEP complex, can be utilised in future studies as reliable markers of cortical activity.

These findings suggest that the area of the N80 and P260 SEP components, and the area of the N80-N150-P260 SEP complex, can be utilised in future studies as reliable markers of cortical activity.

This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of acute kidney disease (AKD) with renal oxalosis.

Data for biopsy-proven AKD with oxalosis diagnosed from Jan 2011 to Oct 2018 was collected. The underlying diseases, dietary habits, clinical and pathological characteristics of newly emerging kidney disease were analyzed. The long-term renal prognosis was observed.

A total of 23 patients were included, comprised of 18 men and 5 women with a mean age of 51.6 ± 15.9 years. The peak Scr was 669.9 ± 299.8 μmol/L, and 95.7% of patients had stage 3 acute kidney injury (AKI). Drug-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) was the most common cause (65.2%) of AKD, followed by severe nephrotic syndrome (17.4%). All patients had pathological changes indicating TIN, and 11 patients were complicated with the newly emerging glomerular disease (GD). The risk of oxalosis caused by increased enterogenous oxalate absorption accounted for only 26.1%, and others came from new kidney diseases. The majority (75%) of abundant (medium to severe) oxalosis occurred in patients without GD. There were no significant differences in the score for tubular injury (T-IS) and interstitial inflammation with different severities of oxalosis. Rate of Scr decrease (ΔScr%) at 2 weeks was negatively correlated with the severity of oxalosis (

= -0.542,

 = 0.037), score for T-IS (

= -0.553,

 = 0.033), and age (

= -0.736,

 = 0.002). The decrease in Scr at 4 weeks was correlated with T-IS (

= -0.433), but had no correlation with oxalosis.

The present findings revealed that 95.7% of AKD with secondary renal oxalosis occurred in critically ill patients. AKD from tubular injury was the prominent cause. Severe oxalosis contributed to delayed early recovery of AKD.

Video analyses have shown limited trunk flexion and increased trunk lateral bending towards the injured leg are associated with increased risk of ACL injuries, while trunk axial rotation away from the injured leg is more frequent than rotation towards the injured leg. Contact with the trunk before and at the time of the injury is common and might increase the risk of ACL injury. Controlled jump-landing and cutting studies have shown that limited trunk flexion and increased trunk lateral bending are associated with increased ACL loading. However, the findings of trunk axial rotation are not consistent with most video analyses. Mid-flight external trunk perturbation could increase ACL loading variables for one leg and is consistent with the videos of trunk-contact ACL injuries.
