Effectiveness of Low-frequency Pulse Electrical Stimulation Combined with Dexamethasone in Treating Facial Nerve Paralysis and Its Impact on Facial Nerve Function and Electromyography
CONCLUSION: The integration of low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation with dexamethasone therapy significantly ameliorates the severity of facial nerve paralysis, enhances facial nerve function, and improves electromyographic signals in facial muscles without increasing adverse effects. These findings support the clinical value and safety of this combined treatment approach for facial nerve paralysis, suggesting its suitability for broader clinical application. These results suggest that this combined treatment approach holds promise for broader clinical application, potentially providing a more effective and safer the...

Polyvinyl chloride solvent cement poisoning: a case report
ConclusionIngestion of a sufficient quantity ofS could result in gut absorption with central nervous system depression, coma, and even death. No antidote is available for toxicity, and management is largely supportive. As witnessed in our patient, chemical laryngitis and upper airway inflammation may lead to upper airway obstruction. Chemical reactions with medical equipment may lead to unforeseen outcomes. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Serum free light chain kinetics is predictive of renal response in myeloma patients with renal impairment – an ALLG trial of carfilzomib-dexamethasone therapy in frontline and relapse.
Renal impairment (RI) confers adverse prognosis in myeloma; its reversal and avoidance of dialysis are crucial. We investigated whether serum free light chain (SFLC) measurements can predict renal outcome, to enable change in therapy to optimise prognosis and avoid dialysis.

Honokiol induces apoptosis and autophagy in dexamethasone-resistant T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia CEM-C1 cells
Conclusion: The combination of honokiol and DEX were better than DEX alone in DEX-resistant CEM-C1 cell lines. Honokiol may regulate T-ALL-related dexamethasone resistance by affecting c-Myc.PMID:38573223 | DOI:10.1080/16078454.2024.2337307 (Source: Hematology)
