Review, Journal: Update on management of pancreatic cancer: a literature review. (Pubmed Central) - May 21, 2024 Radical surgery itself is not enough for prolong survival. The improvement of chemotherapy, target agents and immunotherapy with multidisciplinary approach will be the only solution for improvement of survival outcome and quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer.

Journal: Failure to Undergo Resection Following Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: A Secondary Analysis of SWOG S1505. (Pubmed Central) - May 16, 2024 Failure to undergo resection following NT was relatively common among patients with potentially resectable PDAC and associated with worse survival. Although few predictive factors were identified in this secondary analysis of the SWOG S1505 randomized trial, further research must focus on risk factors for severe toxicities during NT that preclude surgical resection so that patient-centered interventions can be delivered or alternate treatment sequencing can be recommended.

Journal: Medication error with methotrexate. (Pubmed Central) - May 15, 2024 This case underscores the importance of effective communication in health care, particularly in complex cases like this, where understanding dosages and administration is crucial. Medical history, clinical examinations and medication reviews, often involving clinical pharmacists, are vital in the A&E to reveal medication errors.

Preclinical, Journal: In-vivo assessment of application of folinic acid and botulinum toxin A in cleft lip surgical defects. (Pubmed Central) - May 12, 2024 Improved wound healing was observed using both botulinum toxin A and folinic acid in rat animal models. However, the application of botulinum toxin A caused less fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition which can potentially lead to less scar formation, which can be particularly important in the aesthetic zone.
