Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon form of skin neoplasm with poor histological differentiation and an aggressive disease process, leading to high recurrence and mortality. There are multiple risk factors in which being in an immunocompromised state is a significant factor, and the discovery of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) since 2008 has strengthened causal associations between MCC and immunosuppression. Individuals who have undergone kidney transplantation are therefore more susceptible to having MCC, secondary to post-transplant immunosuppression which plays a vital role in reducing the risk of transplant kidney rejection. Over recent years a rise in the incidence of MCC following kidney transplantation is noted, with increased reporting of such cases. Whilst localized MCC is observed, MCC metastasis to the lymphatic system, brain, bone, liver, lung, and heart has been previously observed in patients with transplanted kidneys. Kidney metastasis is less common and has been only reported in recent years with greater frequency. The management of aggressive, metastatic MCC has historically been palliative, and prognosis is poor. Recently, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic MCC in multi-center phase II clinical trials have shown promising survival outcomes and have been approved for use in countries such as the United States as a first-line treatment. In this review we will explore the potential pathophysiological processes of MCC manifesting post-kidney transplantation. We will then evaluate the epidemiology of MCC within the context of kidney transplantation, before discussing the various clinical presentations, diagnostic measures, surveillance strategies, and current treatment options as well as future directions to best manage MCC in kidney transplant recipients.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most prevalent neoplasms worldwide. Important risk factors for cSCC include sun exposure, immunosuppression, pale skin, and aging. White people are more likely to develop cSCC, and men are more affected than women. In advanced cases, surgery and/or radiotherapy are no longer effective. Due to a historical lack of treatment options, some medications have been used in these patients without sufficient recommendation. There is an urgent need to identify patients at an increased risk of recurrence and spread early for timely diagnosis and treatment. Despite extensive data on the high-risk features and prognostication, considerable variation remains globally regarding high-risk cSCC and the delivery of oncology services. The current comprehensive review evaluated and summarized contemporary knowledge of various management options for cSCC to simplify the integrated treatment plans. Full article

There is increasing evidence of adverse events associated with the use of COVID-19 vaccines. Here, we report a case of the SARS-CoV-2-vaccination-related onset of pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and provide an analysis of previously reported cases in the medical literature. A 67-year-old male presented with a 1-year history of histopathologically proven PRP that first developed 14 days after receiving a COVID-19 booster vaccination. Skin symptoms improved under ustekinumab medication after unsuccessful previous treatment approaches using systemic corticosteroids, brodalumab, and risankizumab. Among the published cases of post-COVID vaccination PRP, 12 (75%) males and 4 (25%) females were reported. The median age of the reported patients was 59 years. In 10 out of 16 patients (62.5%), PRP was diagnosed after the first vaccine dose, in 4 (25%) after the second dose, and in 2 of 15 patients (12.5%) after the third dose. The median time between COVID-19 vaccination and the onset of PRP was 9.5 days (range: 3–60 days). The majority of patients required systemic treatment, including systemic retinoids and methotrexate. PRP might be a rare adverse event after COVID-19 vaccination, particularly affecting older males. Even though most reported patients with COVID-19-vaccination-related PRP could be successfully treated with PRP standard medications, therapy refractory cases may also occur. Thus, clinicians must be aware of this rare but potentially severe complication. Full article
