Cead Melas Bsno
MELAS Syndrome is a mitochondrial cytopathy characterized by mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes. Sensorineural hearing loss is a frequent symptom, occurring in 44-75% of patients. The document discusses the role of otologists in diagnosing and managing MELAS, including screening all patients for hearing loss and following up regularly as hearing loss is a cardinal feature and patients require multidisciplinary treatment and guidance.
Angiosarcoma Review
This document summarizes the key differences between primary and secondary angiosarcoma (AS) of the breast. Primary AS typically affects younger women (median age 40) and presents as masses within the breast parenchyma, while secondary AS affects older women (median age 67-71) and develops in irradiated breast skin and subcutaneous tissue 7-10 years after radiation therapy. Both forms have a poor prognosis. Surgical management often involves mastectomy but optimal margins are unclear. Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation have shown mixed results, and larger randomized trials are needed to determine their effectiveness for AS of the breast.
Management of pleomorphic lcis
Pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (PLCIS) is a recently characterized entity distinguished from classic LCIS by its more dyshesive, pleomorphic cells and association with markers of poorer prognosis. [PLCIS exhibits loss of E-cadherin and beta-catenin expression as well as genomic alterations linked to aggressiveness.] While long-term outcomes are unknown, available evidence suggests PLCIS may have higher recurrence rates than classic LCIS if margins are positive after excision. Current recommendations include surgical excision of PLCIS lesions with negative margins of 2mm or more and consideration of adjuvant hormonal or radiation therapy based on tumor biomarkers.
Medulloblastoma
The document discusses the treatment of medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumor. It provides details on the role of radiotherapy in treatment, including:
1) Radiotherapy has historically been the most effective treatment when combined with surgery, improving survival rates from 1 in 61 to 25% at 10 years with craniospinal irradiation.
2) Several studies evaluated reducing craniospinal irradiation doses and adding chemotherapy, finding equivalent survival but reduced side effects.
3) Current standard treatment involves 23.4Gy craniospinal irradiation with chemotherapy, followed by a posterior fossa boost to 55.8Gy.
Cpc fibular tumour
- A 45-year-old female presented with a tumor on her fibula. An initial biopsy showed spindle-shaped cells forming interlacing fascicles with areas of nuclear pleomorphism. This was diagnosed as an atypical fibrous histiocytoma.
- The tumor was then excised. The excised specimen showed variably pleomorphic cells, mitotic figures, and necrosis. Differential diagnoses included malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, synovial sarcoma, and fibrosarcoma.
- Immunohistochemistry showed the tumor was positive for EMA and patchy positive for S-100, suggesting synovial sarcoma or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. It was negative for TLE-
Extraskeletal Ewing Sarcoma
This document defines and describes extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma, a rare malignant small round blue cell neoplasm originating from mesenchymal stem cells or neural crest stem cells. It most commonly occurs in the second decade of life and presents with swelling, pain, and constitutional symptoms. Treatment involves chemotherapy followed by surgery and/or radiation. Prognosis is poor with metastasis, large tumor size, or older patient age. Molecular testing reveals gene fusions between FET family genes like EWSR1 and ETS family genes in most cases.
Unusual glioma
This document discusses several unusual types of gliomas, including subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, angiocentric glioma, astroblastoma, and pilomyxoid astrocytoma. It provides details on their characteristics, imaging appearance, pathology, management, and outcomes. Everolimus is also discussed as a potential alternative to surgery for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.

Low grade oligodendroglioma
The document discusses current treatment options for low grade oligodendroglioma and the significance of 1p/19q loss of heterozygosity. It reviews evidence that surgical resection provides better outcomes than observation alone. Chemotherapy with procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine or temozolomide is effective particularly for tumors with 1p/19q codeletion, while radiotherapy improves progression-free survival after incomplete resection but not overall survival. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment approach due to lack of prospective randomized controlled trials.
Neuroblastoma imaging
This document describes a case of neuroblastoma in a 16-month-old boy presenting with fever, poor appetite, and abdominal distension. Imaging including ultrasound, CT, and MRI revealed a large heterogeneous mass arising from the left adrenal gland, compressing local structures. Biopsy showed poorly differentiated neuroblastoma. Treatment and prognosis depend on risk stratification based on age, stage, biology. High-risk disease requires intensive chemotherapy with stem cell transplant while low-risk cases may only require surgery or observation.
Liposarcoma of Spermatic Cord - A Rare Entity
The document reports a case of a 65-year-old man who presented with a large liposarcoma tumor arising from the spermatic cord that measured 20x12 cm. He underwent a radical orchiectomy and wide local excision to remove the tumor. Histopathological examination found it to be a well-differentiated myxoid liposarcoma, a rare type of liposarcoma occurring in the spermatic cord.
Cytopathology Conference 10/20/05 - Case 6

Neuroblastoma
This document provides an overview of neuroblastoma, including:
- It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system.
- Presentation varies depending on location but may include abdominal mass, bone pain, opsoclonus, or Horner's syndrome.
- Staging uses the International Neuroblastoma Staging System and ranges from localized (Stage 1) to disseminated disease (Stage 4).
- Treatment involves surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy. Prognostic factors include age at diagnosis and disease stage.
(Pediatric) Diffuse Intrinsic Pons Glioma
- Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a leading cause of brain tumor-related death in children and has a median survival of 9-12 months even with treatment.
- Molecular studies have found that 80% of DIPGs have mutations in histone H3 variants, including the K27M mutation, which leads to aberrant demethylation.
- Clinical trials are investigating molecularly targeted therapies such as inhibitors of ALK, which is downstream of the ACVR1 pathway that is mutated in 25% of DIPGs. Immunotherapies targeting IL13Rα2, EphA2, and survivin are also being studied.
Rhabdomyosarcoma Of head and neck
This study aimed to evaluate the role of delayed primary excision (DPE) surgery after induction chemotherapy in localized nonmetastatic adult head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma. The study retrospectively analyzed 24 patients treated with either DPE followed by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy without surgery. It found that 59% of DPE patients had a complete resection but 82% had residual viable tumors. Response to chemotherapy significantly impacted local control, with 100% local control for good responders versus 33% for poor responders. In good responders, DPE resulted in significantly better local control than chemoradiotherapy alone. However, treatment modality did not impact overall survival. Distant metastases
Fine needle aspiration cytology of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast
Fine needle aspiration cytology of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breastAbKadir Rifaei Rashid Khairi
This case report describes an 84-year old female patient with a neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The smears showed discohesive polygonal cells with abundant cytoplasm and eosinophilic granules. Histology confirmed a solid type neuroendocrine carcinoma with metastasis to lymph nodes. Immunohistochemistry was positive for markers like chromogranin and synaptophysin. Neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare breast tumors that can be diagnosed on cytology by observing characteristic cytoplasmic granules, though they may otherwise appear as invasive ductal carcinoma. Recognition of this rare tumor is important for prognosis and management.Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Multilateral Systems, pumpsandpipesmdhc
A multilateral well connects two or more standard well types, such as vertical, deviated, or horizontal wells. It allows multiple production laterals to be drilled from a single surface location. The value to customers is that multilateral wells can significantly increase production from a field by drilling more reservoir contact from fewer well pads and surface locations. There are different technical levels for multilateral wells based on how the junctions between the main and lateral bores are constructed and supported. Higher technical levels provide more completion flexibility but also more complex construction.

A Brief Introduction to Coiled Tubing: What is it? What to do with it?, pumps...
This document provides an overview of coiled tubing, including its history, equipment, and applications. It discusses how coiled tubing originated from military projects during World War II and was first used in the oilfield in 1962. The key components of a coiled tubing unit are described, including the injector, reel, control house, and other equipment. Common applications of coiled tubing in the oil and gas industry involve well intervention operations such as drilling, logging, perforating, and more. A comparison is made between addressing blockages in wells and arteries.

Repairing Coronary Arteries, pumpsandpipesmdhc
This document discusses the history and evolution of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures such as angioplasty and stenting to repair coronary arteries. It covers the initial development of balloon angioplasty, the issues it posed around restenosis and abrupt closure, and how stents helped address these issues but introduced the new problem of in-stent restenosis. Drug-eluting stents were then developed to significantly reduce restenosis rates by preventing cell replication through the local delivery of drugs. The document discusses ongoing research to develop newer stent materials, polymers, drug coatings, and bioabsorbable technologies to continue improving PCI outcomes and safety.
Atherectomy and Plaque Analysis, pumpsandpipesmdhc
The document discusses different methods for removing plaque from arteries, including atherectomy. Surgical endarterectomy is an invasive approach that led to the development of less invasive atherectomy techniques like laser atherectomy and remote endarterectomy. Excisional atherectomy uses devices like the Silverhawk to remove plaque but can send debris downstream and have high recurrence rates. The goal is to find more effective mechanical and biological plaque removal and prevention methods.
Cytopathology Conference 11/17/05 - Case 1
This document summarizes three cytopathology cases:
1) A 55-year-old female diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma in situ based on crowded stratified strips and rosettes in the thinprep.
2) A 64-year-old female with a history of breast mass, suspected to have a mucinous neoplasm or lesion based on the FNA.
3) A 55-year-old male with a right inguinal lymph node FNA, initially diagnosed as a high-grade mostly necrotic malignant neoplasm which was later determined to be vimentin-positive.
Cytopathology Conference 12/01/05 - Case 1
This document discusses a case of pericardial fluid from a 36-year old female with lupus and a pericardial effusion. A special stain was performed which led to a diagnosis of Mycobacterium mucogenicum pericarditis. M. mucogenicum is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that can cause nosocomial infections after surgery or in patients on hemodialysis. It is identified through its unique 16s ribosomal unit and resistant to certain antibiotics but susceptible to others.
Cytopathology Conference 10/20/05 - Case 4
A 54-year-old female presented with multiple lung nodules. The differential diagnoses included carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and pleomorphic adenoma. The diagnosis was adenoid cystic carcinoma, a malignant salivary gland tumor that can occur primarily in the lungs arising from the trachea or main bronchi. It typically presents as either a nodular polypoid projection or a subepithelial growth along the long axis of the bronchus.
