Chondrosarcoma of the skull base is a rare tumor, making up only 7% of head and neck cancers. They most commonly occur at the petro-occipital synchondrosis. CT and MRI are used to identify the characteristic ring and arc calcifications within an expansile, lobulated mass centered off the midline. Differential diagnoses include chordoma, meningioma, metastases and pituitary adenoma. Treatment involves radical resection with a multidisciplinary approach.
In this presentation we will dscuss the imp imaging features of Posterior fossa tumors in pediatric age group.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Introduction
• Chondrosarcoma of the skull base are rare
tumors.
• The incidence is reported to be 0.03 per
100,000 persons in the United States
3. Epidemiology
• Chondrosarcomas of the base of the
skull make up only a small fraction of
all chondrosarcomas
• Head and neck chondrosarcomas- only 7%.
4. • Petro-occipital synchondrosis (most common)
• Sphenoethmoidal junction
• Sella turcica
• The majority of chondrosarcomas of the base of the
skull are located off the midline
• Chordomas-usually midline.
Location
5.
6. • The petro-occipital synchondrosis, also known
as the petroclival synchondrosis, is a primary
cartilaginous joint between the basilar part of
the occipital bone and the petrous temporal
bone.
• 'Fissure' and 'junction' are other terms used to
describe this structure,
however, synchondrosis is technically more
correct.
7. Risk factors
• The vast majority –sporadic
• However, some predisposing conditions are
reported, and include:
• previous trauma/fractures
8. Clinical presentation
• Patients usually present due to mass effect,
either on adjacent brain, brainstem, cranial
nerves or (if extension inferiorly) structures of
the superior neck.
10. Radiographic features
• Plain radiograph
• Only of historical interest,
• Lytic lesions in 50% and
calcifications in
approximately 60%.
• Differentiation of
chondrosarcomas from
other skull base tumors
was very difficult prior to
cross-sectional imaging.
11. CT
• Thin triplanar bone
algorithm images is
important is confirming
bony involvement and
demonstrating
calcification of the tumor,
often in
characteristic rings and
arcs (70%)
• Centered off mid-line
• Petro-occipital fissure
12. MRI
• T1: low signal
• T2: high signal
• T1 C+ (Gd)
– usually heterogeneous
enhancement
– Scalloped well
circumscribed margin.
13. Chondrosarcoma of the sphenoid in a 56-year-old man. (A) Axial, T2-weighted
MR image shows a lobulated mass at the sphenoid . The mass contains abundant
intermediate signals but also includes hyperintense foci. (B) Axial, contrast-
enhanced, MR image with fat suppression shows peripheral enhancement that
indicates chondrogenic tumor. A pathological analysis revealed grade 1
chondrosarcoma.
14. Differential Diagnosis
• Chordoma
– usually midline projecting posteriorly
• Meningioma
– usually not high T2 signal
– calcification pattern usually not chondroid
• Metastases
– calcification not as common
– more destructive
• Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
– calcification uncommon
– epicentre in the nasopharynx
• Pituitary macroadenoma
– calcification uncommon
– centred on pituitary fossa
• Cavernous sinus hemangioma
– also high T2 signal but usually homogeneous
– no calcification
17. Take Away Messages for Radiology
Resident
• Skull base chondrosarcoma typically forms an
expansile mass with multilobulated margins. CT
shows an osteolytic mass. Typical ring and arc
calcification can be seen
• The tumor demonstrates iso- to hypointensity on
non-contrast T1-weighted and hyperintensity on
T2-weighted MR images.
• The contrast enhancement pattern is
heterogeneous with a predominance at the
periphery.
