“…Niwas, R. et al believed that the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) designated 2000-2010 as the “Bone and Joint Decade” [ 1 ]. In osteoarthropathy, Jrgensen, L. et al believed that as the largest joint in the human body, the knee joint was the most frequently involved joint [ 2 ]. Huang, W. et al believed that knee osteoarthritis was a disease associated with osteoarthrosis, degenerative arthritis, hyperplastic arthritis, hypertrophic arthritis, and senile arthritis caused by degenerative changes of articular cartilage, resulting in cartilage loss and destruction, and also known as osteoarthrosis, degenerative arthritis, hyperplastic arthritis, and senile arthritis, which were often affected by middle-aged and old people [ 3 ].…”

In order to solve the nursing problems of local anesthesia patients under arthroscopy, a nursing method and experience based on local anesthesia patients under arthroscopy was proposed. From June 2019 to May 2021, 478 patients who underwent knee arthroscopy under spinal anesthesia or local anesthesia were retrospectively investigated, including 186 cases (38.9%) under local anesthesia and 292 cases (61.1%) under spinal anesthesia. 2% lidocaine plus epinephrine was injected locally and intra-articular in patients with local anesthesia, and 0.75% bupivacaine in patients with spinal anesthesia. It was found that in the local anesthesia group and spinal anesthesia group, 94.1% (175/186) and 98.3% (287/292) patients did not feel pain during operation. 93.0% (173/186 cases) and 96.2% (281/292 cases) of patients in the two groups were satisfied or very satisfied with the effect of anesthesia, respectively. The experimental results showed that local anesthesia was a simple and effective anesthesia method for knee arthroscopy, which was more reliable and safer than spinal anesthesia. Local anesthesia could be used for knee arthroscopy or cleaning and rinsing, free body removal, or even common meniscinoplasty.

“…For MM and metastatic MM that cannot be surgically removed, chemotherapy and targeted treatment can be selected. In recent years, due to the in-depth study of oncogenes and signaling pathways in the pathogenesis and development of melanoma, targeted therapy has become a hot spot, with targeted drugs for genes and signaling pathways, such as BRAF, MEK, and ERK inhibitors ( 21 ). The literature shows that regardless of BRAF/NRAS status, small molecule mitochondrial uncoupling agents such as SR4 and niclosamide may become the first-line drugs for the treatment of melanoma and can also be used as adjuvant therapy for patients with failed MAPK inhibitors.…”

IntroductionMalignant melanoma with gastric metastasis is extremely rare. We report a case of gastric metastasis caused by malignant melanoma of the lower limb.Case presentationA 60-year-old woman was hospitalized for left plantar pain. The patient found a black maculopapular eruption on the left sole of her left foot, which caused pain when pressed, and the pain was aggravated by walking, so she went to our hospital for treatment. On the second day of admission, the lesion of the left foot was removed under local anesthesia, and the removed tissue was sent for pathological examination. Combined with immunohistochemistry, it was consistent with malignant melanoma. During hospitalization, the patient developed abdominal pain and asked for gastroscopy. Gastroscopy revealed two 0.5 cm × 0.6 cm spots that can be seen arising from the stomach mucosa which were slightly swollen, slightly black in the center, and without erosion, and no abnormality was found in the other parts. At the same time, a biopsy was taken under a gastroscope and pathology suggests malignant melanoma. The patient could not undergo subsequent treatment due to cost. The patient was followed up until February 2022 and was within the survival period.ConclusionMalignant melanoma gastric metastasis is extremely rare. When a patient has a previous history of melanoma surgery, this needs to be considered when gastrointestinal symptoms are present, and regular endoscopic screening is recommended. Early surgical treatment and postoperative chemotherapy or combined targeted therapy may improve the prognosis of patients.

“…Consequently, using their communicative skills, the nurses may support a fusion of horizons as stressed by Clark (2008) and thereby accommodate the patients' needs and deliver nursing care at a high quality, as shown in the study of Bundgaard et al (2019). In addition, combining questionnaires with the dialogue about what is of concern for the patients may prevent the inherent risk when using a standardised communication form of producing care which is dehumanised and unaccompanied (Jørgensen, Kastrup Jensen, & Brogaard, 2019).…”

Aims and objectives To explore from a nurse and patient perspective what questionnaire—“Functional assessment of cancer treatment gynecological group neurotoxicity” or “Oxaliplatin‐Associated Neuropathy Questionnaire”—best describes chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy and its influence on everyday life in a comprehensive and meaningful way, prior to implementation in daily practice. Background Patients experience chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy during and after chemotherapy for colorectal cancer with oxaliplatin. This neuropathy is difficult to describe for patients and to identify for nurses. To address the specific needs of patients and improve identification of neuropathy and its influence on everyday life, we wanted to implement a questionnaire in clinical practice. Design A phenomenological hermeneutic frame of reference was used. Method Semi‐structured interviews with 15 patients and two focus groups with eight cancer nurses were used for data collection. Data were organised and interpreted by content analytical steps in a hermeneutical process. COREQ checklist was used in reporting of the study. Results The analysis resulted in two main themes (a) “To dig deeper” with sub‐themes “to identify the line between acceptable and nonacceptable chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy,” and “searching for a precise description.” (b). “When everything is interrelated” with sub‐themes “to be aware of different perspectives and understandings” and “recognise potential pitfalls.” Conclusion Involving patients and nurses in choosing between the two questionnaires revealed that neither alone was sufficient to describe the patients’ experiences. Instead, it seems essential to implement both questionnaires, using the answers as a basis for a dialogue to address the patients’ specific needs. Relevance for clinical practice Using patients and nurses perspectives in a complementary way may provide a solid foundation before starting an implementation process in clinical practice. However, attention must be paid to potential barriers and facilitators as well as the fact that a successful implementing process requires leadership and information sharing.
