    Abstract Health assessment data assists the well-being and patient care teams' process in drawing up a care and assistance plan and comprehending the requirements of the patient. Comprehensive and precise data about the Quality of Life of cancer patients play a significant part in the development and organization of cancer patient care. Quality of Life has been used to mean a variety of various things, such as health situation, physical function, symptoms, psychosocial modification, well-being, enjoyment of life, and happiness. Chronic diseases such as cancer are among the disorders that severely affect people's health and consequently their Quality of Life. Cancer patients experience a range of symptoms, including pain and various physical and mental conditions that negatively affect their Quality of Life. In this article, we examined cancer and the impact that this disease can have on the Quality of Life of cancer patients. The cancers examined in this article include head and neck, prostate, breast, lung, and skin cancers. We also discussed health assessment and the importance and purpose of studying patients' Quality of Life, especially cancer patients. The various signs and symptoms of the disease that affect the Quality of Life of patients were also reviewed.

    Abstract Background: Lymphedema is common after lymphatic damage in cancer treatment, with negative impacts on function and quality of life. Evidence suggests that blood vessel microvasculature is sensitive to irradiation and trauma; however, despite knowledge regarding dedicated mural blood supply to arteries and veins (vasa vasorum), equivalent blood vessels supplying lymphatics have not been characterized. We studied collecting lymphatics for dedicated mural blood vessels in our series of 500 lymphaticovenous anastomosis procedures for lymphedema, and equivalent controls.
    Methods: Microscopic images of lymphatics from lymphedema and control patients were analyzed for lymphatic wall vascular density. Collecting lymphatics from 20 patients with lymphedema and 10 control patients were sampled for more detailed analysis (podoplanin immunostaining, light/confocal microscopy, microcomputed tomography, and transmission electron microscopy) to assess lymphatic wall ultrastructure and blood supply.
    Results: Analysis revealed elaborate, dense blood microvessel networks associating with lymphatic walls in lymphedema patients and smaller equivalent vessels in controls. These vasa vasora or "arteria lymphatica" were supplied by regular axial blood vessels, parallel to lymphatic microperforators linking dermal and collecting lymphatics. Lymphatic walls were thicker in lymphedema patients than controls, with immunohistochemistry, computed tomography, transmission electron microscopy, and confocal microscopy characterizing abnormal blood vessels (altered appearance, thickened walls, elastin loss, narrow lumina, and fewer red blood cells) on these lymphatic walls.
    Conclusions: Dedicated blood vessels on lymphatics are significantly altered in lymphedema. A better understanding of the role of these vessels may reveal mechanistic clues into lymphedema pathophysiology and technical aspects of lymphedema microsurgery, and suggest potential novel therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Introduction: Comminuted patella fractures comprise 55 % of patellar fractures. In spite of advances in internal fixation of patella, patellectomy remains an effective treatment in comminuted fractures. In the shadow of different efficient methods of internal fixation, little attention is paid to patellectomy as an old treatment in patellar fracture which is a treatment option in circumstances like comminuted fractures and osteomyelitis.
    Presentation of case: A 54-year-old male presented with complaint of knee pain and limited range of motion. The patient experienced patella fracture four years ago and several sessions of surgery have been performed on his patella including tension band wiring, partial patellectomy, and arthroscopic release. Lastly, pain and severe limited range of motion, convinced us to perform total patellectomy. The result is satisfactory after one year; flexion is up to 90° and no limping or extension lag is observed. The only complaint is mild anterior knee pain.
    Discussion: Patella has two important biomechanical functions including linking and displacement. Preserving even a single fragment of the patella substantially improves linking and displacement function of the patella. Total patellectomy is reserved for conditions like failed internal fixation, comminuted fractures, and patellar osteomyelitis. Although function of the knee cannot be thoroughly restored after removing of the patella, total patellectomy can lead to a relative satisfaction in performing activities of daily living.
    Conclusion: In spite of various types of treatment for patellar fracture, total patellectomy, is still an efficient treatment option in circumstances like comminuted fractures, failed internal fixation, and osteomyelitis.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: Knee arthroplasties as an effective intervention is primarily performed in patients with primary osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Risk of hip fracture may be either decreased or increased in patients with Knee arthroplasties. There is conflicting evidence in this regard. Over the years, some studies have reported the occurrence of hip fractures following this operation as a rare but severe complication. The aim of the present case series was to report diagnosis and treatment of the mentioned five cases.
    Case presentation: During a period of two years, five patients with a diagnosis of a subtrochanteric fracture and history of total knee arthroplasty who referred to hospital were selected to include in the present case series. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: the presence of RA and treatment with glucocorticoids, a reduction of BMD following knee replacement surgery, and ultimately, an increase in physical activity and movement after the arthroplasty due to the improvement of preoperational pain, may all contribute in a complex manner to the observed outcome of increased fracture risk in the hip following TKA.
    Conclusion: In summary, special care including using medications to improve BMD should be taken to minimize the risk of such an event.

    Abstract Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe soft tissue infection caused by bacterial fascia invasion and quick spreading to the muscle and subcutaneous tissues. Treatments of NF should be conducted by extensive debridement and antibiotic therapies. This report presented a 53-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypothyroid who was referred to our medical center with lower limb pain and significant swelling after mild trauma. The patient was diagnosed with NF due to E. coli. She underwent surgical interventions for debridement and long-term antibiotic therapy. The patient recovered successfully without complications or range of motion (ROM) restriction in the hip and knee. It is recommended that immediate actions be taken in NF cases to preserve the remaining tissues and provide better outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Tuberculosis ranks second as the most common cause of death among infectious diseases, preceded only by COVID-19, which can involve multiple organs. Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is known to have serious and atypical complications affecting the central nervous system, especially in more vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents.
    Case presentation: The 15-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with altered mental status after complaining of nausea, weakness, and cough for 3 weeks. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed cavitary lesions, a lumbar puncture sample had a glucose level of 15 mg/dl, and the brain CT scan revealed acute hydrocephalus. While the patient was treated with anti-tubercular medications, an external ventricular drain was placed and the patient was monitored.
    Conclusion: This report presents acute hydrocephalus as a rare and atypical consequence of disseminated tubercular infection resulting in meningitis.

    Abstract Background: Familial synovial hypertrophy is a rare condition presenting as the flexion contracture of the small joints of the hands and feet, in addition to the large joint effusion and range of motion (ROM) restriction. Case Report: Herein, we introduce a 14-year-old boy with a long history of deformities in the hand and foot joints. Painless swelling and limited motion of big joints were present since birth. There were no similar diseases in paternal or maternal relatives, while his 9-year-old brother also had a lifelong history of same deformities. Conclusion: Involvement of the hands and feet can severely restrict young patients’ function in daily tasks, raising the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in familial synovial hypertrophy.
