A Single-Center Study on the Prevalence and Predictors of Incidental Prostate Cancer Diagnosed Following Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

Intravenous Lignocaine Infusion for the Management of Neuropathic Pruritus in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis

Author(s): James Whitmore

However, transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TrpA1) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TrpV1) have been recently discovered as mediators of itchiness and pain in patients with NF. We reported a patient with NF, afflicted by neuropathic pain and itch, despite despite receiving conservative treatment. Herein, we provided the pa...
