1. The document discusses common pitfalls of 18F-FDG PET/CT in head and neck oncology such as inflammation, infection, and partial volume averaging effects.
2. It provides modifications to avoid pitfalls including using a neck collar, keeping the patient quiet and warm, massaging salivary glands, and having head and neck surgeons interpret scans.
3. Proper patient preparation before PET/CT and being aware of common pitfalls are emphasized.
A 19-year-old Thai male presented to the emergency room after his motorcycle was hit by a car. He reported left knee pain for 30 minutes. On examination, he had a 4x6cm laceration wound on his left knee with exposed bone and active bleeding. Imaging showed an open left patellar fracture. He was diagnosed with an open left patellar fracture and treated empirically with antibiotics. He underwent debridement and tension band wiring in the operating room.
The document summarizes an orthopedic case of a child who fell from a table and injured his left arm. On physical examination, the child's left elbow was swollen and deformed with limited range of motion due to pain. X-rays revealed a complete transverse fracture at the supracondylar region of the left humerus with total posterior-medial displacement, classified as a Gartland Type III injury. The child underwent closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of the fractured elbow. Post-operatively, the child will need elevation, pain control, range of motion exercises, and pin removal after 3-4 weeks once the fracture has healed. Complications of this type of injury can include nerve damage,
This case conference discusses a 48-year-old Thai man who presented to the hospital after falling and injuring his right hip. On examination, he had tenderness and swelling of the right hip and thigh with limited range of motion due to pain. X-rays revealed a closed fracture of the right femoral neck. The attending physician provided a provisional diagnosis and treatment plan involving admission, skin traction, pain medication, and monitoring. The discussion then reviewed femoral neck fractures, including risk factors, mechanisms of injury, imaging, classifications, complications, and treatment options such as internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, or total hip arthroplasty.
- The patient is a 38-year-old Thai man who was in a motorcycle accident after drinking alcohol. He complains of left knee pain for 3 hours.
- Radiographs show a fracture of the left tibial plateau and left fibula. Physical examination reveals tenderness over the left knee with limited range of motion due to pain.
- The diagnoses are a fracture of the left tibial plateau, a fracture of the left fibula, and a mild head injury. The patient is placed in a long leg splint and advised to remain non-weightbearing on the left leg. Close monitoring is needed for compartment syndrome or neurological changes.
An 81-year-old Thai woman presented to the hospital with left hip pain after falling three days prior. Imaging revealed a Garden type 3 fracture of the left femoral neck. She was diagnosed with a displaced left femoral neck fracture. Her treatment plan included pain control, skin traction of the left leg, and a left bipolar hemiarthroplasty surgery. Femoral neck fractures typically result from low-energy falls in older patients and require prompt surgical management to reduce complications.
An elderly Thai female presented with a closed fracture of both bones of the right forearm after falling and bracing her fall with her right arm. On examination, she had deformity, swelling, and limited range of motion of the right forearm. X-rays confirmed a closed fracture of both the radius and ulna. She was splinted externally initially and then referred to the hospital, where she was admitted and placed in a long arm splint. She was scheduled for an operation to place a plate and screws to fixate the fractures.
- An 11-year-old Thai girl presented with left elbow pain and swelling after being knocked over by a dog at home. She had limited range of motion of her left elbow due to pain.
- X-rays showed a closed fracture of the left supracondylar humerus, classified as a Gartland type II.
- Supracondylar fractures are the most common elbow fractures in children and usually result from a fall onto an outstretched hand. They can cause deformity, swelling, and nerve injuries depending on the type and severity of the fracture.
- Treatment options include casting or surgery depending on the fracture type and degree of displacement. The goal is to restore the elbow

Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy, with an annual incidence of 3.5 per 100,000 in the UK. Differentiated thyroid carcinomas have high 10-year survival rates of 80-90% for middle-aged adults, but recurrence rates of 10-15% are possible. Diagnosis is usually via fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules, with surgery the main treatment depending on tumor size, involvement of lymph nodes, and histological subtype. Long-term monitoring of serum thyroglobulin levels and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels is important for screening for recurrence.
1. The patient is a 13 day old baby boy referred for imperforate anus. Physical exam found anal dimple but no anus, undescended left testis, and greenish black urine.
2. Initial management included warm care, IV fluids, OGT and urethral catheter placement, and plans for urgent colostomy. Laboratory results were largely normal.
3. The patient underwent successful colostomy. Post-op diagnosis was anal malformation with rectourethral fistula and undescended left testis. Management continues with antibiotics and pain medications.
1) A 50-year-old female patient presented with left orbital edema and pain in the nose and head after a fall from a motorcycle. Examination revealed maxillary trauma with a left maxillary sinus cortical cyst.
2) She underwent rhinoplastic surgery and was discharged on medications after three days with instructions to follow-up after one week.
3) Facial trauma treatment involves ensuring the airway is open, administering antibiotics and pain killers, setting fractures, and sometimes surgery depending on the type and severity of injuries.
1. The patient, a 58-year-old male, presented with pain while swallowing saliva for 1 month and was diagnosed with carcinoma of the left pyriform fossa based on physical examination and biopsy findings.
2. Treatment involved concurrent chemoradiation with 6 cycles of cisplatin injections along with pain management medications and physiotherapy to improve range of motion.
3. The goals of treatment were to control abnormal cell growth, improve airway clearance and activities of daily living, provide symptomatic relief, and prevent complications through a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
1. This presentation discusses two cases of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva that presented with inferior wall myocardial infarction.
2. Both patients underwent angiography that showed the RCA originating from the left sinus with mid-RCA stenosis.
3. One patient had a high, horizontal takeoff and the other had a downward takeoff of the RCA.
4. Post-angioplasty, treadmill stress tests were negative for ischemia in both patients. Therefore, they were managed medically with follow up.
The patient, a 40-year-old male smoker and alcoholic, was admitted with paraplegia and was diagnosed with stage IV small cell lung cancer that had metastasized to the spine, brain, and other areas. MRI revealed metastatic lesions in the spine compressing the spinal cord. A biopsy confirmed small cell lung cancer. Treatment involved chemotherapy, radiation therapy to sites of metastases, and steroids to address spinal cord compression. However, the patient's condition did not improve.
This document discusses the management of complicated papillary thyroid carcinoma through two patient case studies. It provides details on the patients' histories, examination findings, investigations, diagnoses, surgical procedures, post-operative management, and literature review on papillary thyroid carcinoma classification, risk factors, staging, treatment options including surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, and TSH suppression.
This document discusses surgical management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. It covers:
- Medical management is usually first-line but some severe cases require surgery.
- Total parathyroidectomy with auto-transplantation of part of one gland and thymectomy is the preferred surgical approach.
- The procedure was performed in 82 patients with mean postoperative PTH of 108.27 pg/ml, with few complications.
- Careful surgical technique is important due to anatomical challenges from prior neck surgery/dialysis and risk of hypocalcemia.
A to Z of trauma care management. This presentation details the various aspect of managing a trauma case in ER and Critical Care unit. Using the A to Z anagram for various aspects makes it easy to remember each and very step that one needs to follow when resuscitating and managing a trauma case. This presentation will be especially useful for trauma nurses and doctors in training.
This document discusses head and neck cancer and radiation therapy. It provides background information on head and neck cancers, noting they make up 6-9% of cancers and are more common in males. Risk factors include smoking, alcohol, HPV, and EBV. It then discusses the components of radiation therapy planning and delivery in detail, including patient preparation, positioning, volume definition, portal arrangement, dose and fractionation, plan acceptance, adding chemotherapy, and managing complications. The importance of a multidisciplinary team approach is also emphasized.
Hypothyroidism after head & neck radiation A Complication & ImplicationKanhu Charan
Hypothyroidism is a common complication of radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. The incidence of hypothyroidism after radiation ranges from 15-48%. Damage to the thyroid gland from radiation can result in both clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism. Early detection of hypothyroidism is important as treatment with levothyroxine replacement can prevent symptoms. Patients receiving radiation to the head and neck region should be monitored with TSH and free T4 tests before, during, and after treatment to screen for hypothyroidism.
Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the palatine tonsils. It is indicated for recurrent throat infections, tonsillitis causing medical issues, or enlarged tonsils obstructing breathing.
Pre-operative assessment involves evaluating the patient's medical history, examining the throat, and in some cases checking coagulation or doing a sleep study. Certain conditions like bleeding disorders or Down syndrome require special pre-operative management.
The surgery involves using various techniques like dissection and snare to separate the tonsils from surrounding tissue and remove them. Post-operative care focuses on pain management, diet, hygiene and watching for potential complications like bleeding or infection. Newer techniques aim to reduce morbidity through less invasive procedures
ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) provides guidelines for the initial care and resuscitation of trauma patients. It was introduced in the 1970s and focuses on assessing and treating life-threatening injuries during the "Golden Hour" after trauma occurs. The goals of ATLS are to identify injuries killing the patient, treat those injuries, find all other injuries, and develop a treatment plan. The primary and secondary surveys guide trauma evaluations and focus on the airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure of patients. ATLS aims to optimize trauma care during the critical first hour after injury occurs.
Head and Neck Tumors and the various controversies associated.Dr. RIFFAT KHATTAK
This is about those case presentations of a few Head & Neck Tumors that presented to us at PIMS. It also adresses the various controversies that exist regarding the Diagnoses, Treatment Modalities available, Post Treatment rehabilitation of the patients etc.
This document summarizes the presentation of an extern on the case of a 91-year-old Thai woman who fell from a roof and suffered an odontoid fracture. After initial assessment and imaging at a local hospital showed possible C1 fracture, she was transferred to a larger hospital. Further imaging including CT revealed an Anderson Type II odontoid fracture. Type II fractures have a high nonunion rate due to interrupted blood supply and were discussed in detail, including classification, presentation, imaging, treatment options of either immobilization or surgery, and complications like nonunion.
The document discusses the initial approach to trauma care, which consists of an initial primary assessment, rapid resuscitation, and a more thorough secondary assessment. The primary assessment focuses on identifying and treating life-threatening conditions by assessing ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure). Key interventions include controlling bleeding, treating pneumothorax, and addressing shock. A secondary assessment then provides a full head-to-toe examination to identify all injuries, with resuscitation continuing throughout. An organized team approach is emphasized to properly manage trauma in a timely manner.

HPV & Oral Cancer in Taiwan by Dr. Ken Liao Liu 劉耿僚Ken Liao Liu
The document discusses oral and oropharyngeal cancers in Taiwan. It finds that HPV 16 is significantly higher in cancer cases (25.4%) than controls (5.6%), especially in the oral cavity (34.2% vs 0% in controls). p53 mutation rates are higher in pharyngeal cancers than oral cavity cancers. Joint assessment of HPV and p53 status shows differences between oral cavity and pharynx cancers, with HPV playing a role in oral cavity cancers without p53 mutation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
