We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer whose intractable nausea and vomiting were effectively managed with a hyoscine hydrobromide (scopolamine) patch. Contrast swallow revealed oesophageal spasm to be the underlying cause. Symptom relief may be attributed to the

A 63-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer was referred to our bronchoscopy unit for outpatient laser resection of an endobronchial mass through fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The patient had no history of ischemic heart disease. During the procedure, the patient developed an ST-segment elevation

BACKGROUND Tumour cells are characterized by aerobic glycolysis, which provides biomass for tumour proliferation and leads to extracellular acidification through efflux of lactate via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs). Deficient and spasm-prone tumour vasculature causes variable hypoxia, which

A 54-year-old woman presented with several weeks of psychiatric symptoms, partial-onset seizures, and painful spasms of the lower extremities. On examination, she exhibited severe stiffness and intermittent extensor spasms of the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed T2

BACKGROUND Third-generation aromatase inhibitors are more effective than tamoxifen for preventing recurrence in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive invasive breast cancer. However, it is not known whether anastrozole is more effective than tamoxifen for women with

Treatment for invasive breast cancer usually involves some combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or targeted therapy. For approximately 50% of patients, radiation therapy is a component of the therapies used. As a result, radiation-induced fibrosis is becoming

Stiff-Man syndrome (SMS) is a rare disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by progressive rigidity of the body musculature with superimposed painful spasms. An autoimmune origin of the disease has been proposed. In a caseload of more than 100 SMS patients, 60% were found positive

BACKGROUND Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurologic disorder with autoimmune features. It is characterized by progressive, severe muscle rigidity or stiffness most prominently affecting the spine and lower extremities. RESULTS Superimposed muscle spasms result in simultaneous contraction of

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is an unusual cause of muscle rigidity and spasms. It is believed to have an autoimmune pathogenesis and is associated with autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). Paraneoplastic SPS (PSPS) has been described mainly in relation to breast cancer and is

Radiotherapy (RT) has been established to improve both local control as well as overall survival rates in breast cancer. However, RT especially in left-sided breast cancer also irradiates a portion of the heart. Radiation associated toxicity to the heart assumes significance because of improval in

Capesitabine is a orally administered cytotoxic drug metabolized to 5-fluorouracil and is widely used in large intestine cancer and breast cancer therapy. Its adverse effects against the heart have been considered to be rare. We describe four patients, who were diagnosed with an attack of coronary

OBJECTIVE A case of paclitaxel-induced painful crisis in a patient with breast cancer and hemoglobin sickle cell disease (SCD) is reported. CONCLUSIONS A 55-year-old postmenopausal African-American woman had stage IIB invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. She was not taking any medications

In this case report, we describe separate instances of general anesthetic management administered to a patient during treatment for two unrelated conditions. The patient, a 57-year-old woman who had been experiencing walking difficulties for about four years, fell down because of muscle rigidity and
