Background: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor and has an increased incidence in recent decades. The giant size is defined as a lesion larger than 5 cm in the largest diameter that commonly occurs in the trunk. Currently, decreasing in locations that have specialized services that are easier for the population to access. Case 1: A 54-year-old man, painter, showed an exulcerated plaque, with a friable surface and hypertrophic infiltrated margins of 12 cm in the largest diameter, located in the chest for 5 years.

The authors are commenting on the study entitled :“Comparing the efficacy of bevacizumab and ranibizumab in patients with retinal vein occlusion” published by Vader et al. in Ophthalmology Retina 2020;4(6):576-587,which compared the efficacy of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab to ranibizumab in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion– emergent macular edema. The study found that best-corrected visual acuity gain, anatomic outcomes, and safety were remarkably equivalent at 6 months in both treatment arms.

It is a rare condition by intense purple discoloration of urine bag. Although typically 'benign'. Purple urine is not only alarming to patient , but can signal the presence of a UTI that needs a prompt treatment. The interaction between bag(plastic) and pigments and high bacterial load is important in precipitating the PUBS. Several bacteria mostly gram negative, which have been associated with PUBS are Providential Stuartii, providentiarettegri, klebsiellapneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, E.Coli.

Objective: To correlate urinary sodium excretion in isolated sample with 24-hour urine and glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study with 185 patients. Urinary sodium excretion was evaluated in 24-hour urine and in isolated sample. The statistics used the Student or Mann Whitney t tests and Pearson or Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Results: 58.9% were women, mean age of 59.8±12.1 years.

Objective: To develop and validate the content of a care plan for children with kidney diseases. Method: Content validation study using the Delphi technique carried out with 34 specialist nurses in the first round and 22 in the second round. The steps were: identification of nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions, elaboration of the care plan and content validation by specialists. The content validity index was used in the twophases of the Delphi method. Results: A care plan was elaborated with 11 nursing diagnoses, 15 nursing outcomes and 22 nursing interventions.
