Dr Patrick Treacy on Diagnosis and Treatment of Malignant Melanoma Dr. Patrick J. Treacy
A 23-year-old Siberian female patient presented with a changing lesion on her abdomen. The patient stated the lesion was present for about two years and it started
off from within a freckle, which started to grow larger and somewhat darken in appearance. It had the clinical appearance of a melanoma and the dermoscopy three-point checklist (designed to allow non-experts not to miss detection of melanomas) was used to determine whether this had a high likelihood of malignancy. It included:
Asymmetry: asymmetry of colour and structure in one or
two perpendicular axes
Atypical network: pigment network with irregular holes
and thick lines
Blue-white structures: there was some evidence of blue-
white veil and regression structures
Dr Patrick Treacy shares some of his most challenging cases.
This month he talks about treating Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma. Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. They typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back. Sometimes they develop from a mole with concerning changes including an increase in size, irregular edges, change in color, itchiness, or skin breakdown
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. Definition:
The most common soft tissue sarcoma of adult life.
Malignant neoplasm of uncertain origin that arises
both in soft tissue and bone.
The precise origin of MFH cells has been disputed.
In 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO)
renamed it as an undifferentiated pleomorphic
sarcoma.
4. Epidemiology:
Rarely occurs in the bone.
Males are affected more often than females (9:4).
MFH occurs most commonly in the extremities
(70-75%) with lower extremities accounting for 60% of
cases), followed by the retroperitoneum.
Commonly in the metaphysis of long bones such as
femur and tibia.
Accounts for 10% to 20 % of all soft tissue malignant
neoplasms.
5. CLASSIFICATION
Five subtypes of MFH are present, These are:
(1) Storiform pleomorphic.
(2) Myxoid.
(3) Inflammatory.
(4) Giant cell.
(5) Angiomatoid.
6. Gross picture:
• MFH is a lobulated, fleshy, gray
white mass.
• There may be yellow areas of
lipid or darker areas of
hemorrhage.
• The mass may be all soft tissue
or have intra-osseous extension.
• The margins of the tumor are
normally ill defined and
destructive.
7. Microscopic picture:
• In all forms, there are fibroblast and
histiocyte elements in some ratio.
• Calcifications are formed by reactive
periosteal cells and are not produced by
tumor cells, which help to differentiate the
tumor from fibrosarcoma.

10. Symptoms and Presentation:
Patients often complain of
a rapidly enlarging mass or
lump .
Usually painless unless it is
compressing a nearby
nerve.
weight loss and fatigue are
not typical .
11. Imaging:
As with other soft-tissue tumors, MRI is the imaging
method of choice.
CT scanning is also useful for evaluation of
calcifications.
MFH usually presents with a soft tissue mass with or
without cortical erosion.
There is no periosteal reaction.
12. x-ray :
Plays a key role in establishing the initial diagnosis of bone
tumors.
Advantages: helps to detect
1. Margins.
2. Cortical Expansion.
3. Periosteal Reaction.
4. Matrix and Tumor Mineralization.
13.
14. Computed Tomography:
CT may be used to evaluate potential internal matrix
and/or cortical erosion.
15. Magnetic Resonance Imaging:
As with other soft-tissue tumors, MRI is the imaging
method of choice.
16. Many other techniques can helps the diagnosis as:
Biopsy.
Immunohistochemistry.
Electron Microscopy.
Molecular Techniques.
Cytology.
Nuclear Imaging.
Angiography.
17. Biopsy
The definitive diagnostic test for tumors.
Fine needle aspiration biopsy.
Core needle biopsy.
19. The recommendations of succesful biopsy:
It is not a simple procedure.
Pay as close attention to asepsis, skin preparation,
haemostasis, wound closure and so on as with any
other operation.
Avoid transverse incisions.
CT-guided biopsy offers an additional advantage as
it has an overall accuracy of 80%.
22. There are essentially three main types of
treatment that will need to be coordinated to
treat the MFH:
1. Surgery.
2. Radiation.
3. Chemotherapy.
23. Staging:
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)
Staging System for Soft Tissue Sarcoma, 6th Edition
Stage Size Depth Grade Metastases
I Any Any Low No
II
< 5cm, any
depth OR >
5cm
Superficial High No
III > 5cm Deep High No
IV Any Any Any Yes
24. Surgery:
Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for all soft
tissue sarcomas.
Historically, soft tissue sarcomas were treated with
amputation.
Currently at least 90% of tumors are now removed
using limb-sparing surgery .
25. Classification of surgical resections for the treatment
of sarcoma .
Intralesional Partial removal of the tumor
Marginal
Through the reactive zone; may leave
residual microscopic disease
Wide
Entire tumor removed with a cuff of
normal tissue
Radical
Entire compartment containing the
tumor removed
26. Intraoperative image demonstrates a posterior approach to
the calf for removal of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
Neurovascular dissection and wide excision of the mass.
27.
28.
29. Radiation therapy :
The purpose of it is to improve local tumor control
by killing residual microscopic disease.
Pre-operative radiation can potentially shrink the
tumor, making limb-sparing surgery possible or
easier but not commonly used.
Post-operative radiation is probably the most
commonly used modality.
30. The advantages and disadvantages of the timing of
radiation therapy:
Delivery Method Advantages Disadvantages
Pre-operative
1. Potentially shrinks
tumor
2. Smaller volume required
1. Increase in wound
complications
2. Delay in definitive surgery
Intra-operative
1. Can concentrate very
high doses to close
margins
2. Minimal injury to
normal tissue
1. Requires a special
operating room with
exposure to O.R. staff
2. Wound complications
Post-operative
1. Fewer wound
complications
2. Immediate surgery
1. Larger volume required
secondary to operative
contamination.
2. Second sarcoma .
31. Chemotherapy:
Is often incorporated into the treatment of patients
with distant recurrence.
One of the major limitations of chemotherapy is the
associated toxicities with the doses necessary to
have a significant impact on disease-specific
survival.
The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of MFH is
not entirely clear.
32. PROGNOSIS:
Tumor grade, size, and presence of distant
metastases, are the most important prognostic factors.
The 5 year survival estimates range from 34% to 60%.
Local recurrence (LR), recurrence of the tumor in the
same location, will occur in approximately 20-30% of all
patients with soft tissue sarcomas.
33. MFH is a curable disease if early diagnosed.
"Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma" has been changed
by the WHO to Undifferentiated Pleomorphic
Sarcoma “UPS”.
surgical excision most often supplemented with
adjuvant radiation therapy.
