ROJoson PEP Talk: Abdominal Mass - Management - Fundamentals and Generalities Reynaldo Joson
This document discusses the fundamentals and generalities of clinically diagnosing an abdominal mass. It explains that an abdominal mass can be identified through palpation of the abdomen or suspected based on symptoms of obstruction, bleeding, or jaundice. The location of a palpable mass provides clues to its possible origin, while characteristics of the mass and associated symptoms help determine whether it is cancerous or not. Case illustrations demonstrate how symptoms can indicate the organ source of a non-palpable mass based on location cues. An abdominal mass may originate from the abdominal wall, peritoneum, or solid organs in the abdominal cavity.

ROJoson PEP Talk: DOES EVERYONE HAVE CANCER CELLS IN THEIR BODY?Reynaldo Joson
The document discusses whether everyone has cancer cells in their body. It explains that while our bodies are constantly producing new cells, not all of these cells are destined to become cancerous. A typical healthy cell goes through cycles of growth, division and death, while a cancer cell does not follow this normal cycle and keeps reproducing abnormally. Not everyone inherently has cancer cells in their body from the beginning - it is possible for initially normal cells to eventually develop into cancer cells due to certain risk factors.
ROJoson PEP Talk: Can one skip CHEMOTHERAPY in BREAST CANCER TREATMENT?Reynaldo Joson
Chemotherapy is a systemic cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy fast-growing cancer cells. It works by keeping cancer cells from growing and dividing. Chemotherapy can be given alone or with other treatments depending on the cancer type and stage. Factors like a person's age, health, and the cancer details help determine the chemotherapy plan and drugs. Chemotherapy aims to cure cancer, shrink tumors before other treatments, destroy remaining cancer cells after treatment, or slow cancer progression and relieve symptoms.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

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.

9. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are ABDOMINAL HERNIAS?
Abdominal hernias consist of a defect, a hole or
weakness in the abdominal wall or a peritoneal or
mesenteric aperture or opening inside the
abdominal cavity that allows abdominal tissues or
organs like the small intestines to bulge through
or be trapped inside the aperture.
11. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the different types of ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS?
There are two general ways of classifying types of
abdominal hernias based on location.
1.External and internal abdominal hernias
2.Hernias indicated by specific location

• What are the different types of ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS?
There are also two general ways of classifying
types of abdominal hernias based on cause.
1. Congenital and acquired hernias
2. Incisional and non-incisional hernias
14. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the different types of ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS?
External abdominal hernias are those in which
abdominal organs or tissues leave their normal
anatomic site and protrude towards the skin of
abdomen because of a congenital or acquired
defect, hole or weakness in the abdominal wall.
15. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the different types of ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS?
Internal abdominal hernias are those in which
abdominal organs or tissues protrude through a
peritoneal or mesenteric opening inside the
abdominal cavity or through a defect in the inner
wall of the abdominal cavity such as in the
diaphragm and pelvic wall.

17. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the different types of ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS?
Congenital and acquired hernias
Congenital hernias are those hernias present at
birth. The defect, hole, or defect causing the
hernia is present at birth.
Acquired hernias are those hernias developing
after birth and whose weakness in the wall or
presence other defects causing the hernias are
due to causative factors occurring after birth.
18. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the different types of ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS?
Incisional and non-incisional hernias
An incisional hernia is a protrusion of tissue that
forms at the site of a healing or healed surgical
scar. It is due to a weakened abdominal wall
associated with the surgical incision. An incisional
hernia implies that a prior operation was done.
In non-incisional hernias, there is no history of
operation done in the areas of the hernias.
20. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the causes of ABDOMINAL HERNIAS?
There is a defect, a hole or weakness that allows
internal organs or tissues to protrude or be
inserted into causing a hernia.
The defect, the hole or weakness can be present
at birth (congenital) or developing after birth
(acquired).
21. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• What are the causes of ABDOMINAL HERNIAS?
Among the acquired hernias, prior operation
producing weakness of the abdominal wall and
adhesion-associated hernia is a cause.
Other causes include aging, repeated straining,
weight lifting and some rare medical diseases that
cause weakness of the abdominal wall due to
abnormal systemic collagen synthesis (such as
Marfans Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos).
23. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Are there preventive measures against
abdominal hernias?
For the congenital hernias, there are currently NO
preventive measures.
For the acquired hernias, except for age and
medical diseases that cause abdominal weakness,
there are preventive measures.
• Proper operative technique of operative
wound closure can prevent incisional hernias.
• Avoiding repeated straining and strenuous
weight lifting can also prevent hernias to a
certain degree.
25. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• How common are the ABDOMINAL HERNIAS?
Some are common; some are rare.
Inguinal hernias are most common among the
non-incisional hernias.
27. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Clinical diagnosis of ABDOMINAL HERNIAS
For external abdominal hernias,
1st cue - an unusual bulge on the abdominal wall.
2nd cue -bulge becomes more prominent on
increased intra-abdominal pressure like standing
up; straining; and coughing and becomes less
prominent to the point of reducible when the
intra-abdominal pressure has decreased.
3rd cue -bulge can be reduced back into the
abdominal cavity.
28. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Clinical diagnosis of ABDOMINAL HERNIAS
For internal abdominal hernias, these will be not
evident on inspection and palpation of the
abdomen. They are often diagnosed through an
imaging procedure such ultrasound, CT-can, and
MRI or during an exploratory laparotomy
(opening of the abdomen) done because of
intestinal obstruction (the internal abdominal
hernias are subsequently discovered).
30. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Paraclinical diagnostic procedures for
ABDOMINAL HERNIAS
Common paraclinical diagnostic procedures are
the imaging procedures such as ultrasound, CT
scan and MRI.
These are done only when indicated.
Usually, for external abdominal hernias, there is
no need for paraclinical diagnostic procedures. If
unsure of diagnosis of hernia, then one is done.
32. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Basic treatment modalities for ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
The basic treatment modality is OPERATION or
SURGERY.
• To repair the hole, defect, or weakness causing
the hernia.
• To reduce the incarcerated organs.
• To resect any strangulated bowels.
35. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Overview – GROIN or INGUINAL HERNIAS
Inguinal hernias are hernias at the groin.
These are the commonest types of abdominal
hernias.
They are more common in the males than in
females.
36. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Overview – GROIN or INGUINAL HERNIAS
There are 2 types inguinal hernias: indirect and
direct hernias. There can be a combination of the
two.
37. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Overview – GROIN or INGUINAL HERNIAS
The inguinal hernias are commonly congenital,
particularly the indirect ones.
The direct hernias are usually acquired, in older
people because of weakness due to age.
38. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Overview – GROIN or INGUINAL HERNIAS
The inguinal hernias are recognized through a
bulge in the groin area and the bulge is reducible.
In those with complications such as incarceration
and strangulation, the bulge may not be reducible
and there will be skin discoloration (dark blue and
even black) if there is already strangulation of the
incarcerated small intestines.
39. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Overview – GROIN or INGUINAL HERNIAS
Usually, inguinal hernias are diagnosed clinically
without need for paraclinical diagnostic
procedures.
40. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Overview – GROIN or INGUINAL HERNIAS
Treatment is surgical with repair of the defect,
hole or weakness preventing an occurrence of a
hernia.
Reduction is done when there is incarceration.
Resection of strangulated small intestines is done
when there is already strangulation.

Dangers of INGUINAL HERNIAS when not treated
(operated on time):
Incarceration, obstruction and strangulation
43. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Myths and facts on INGUINAL HERNIAS
Can an inguinal hernia be cured by a supporter?
No.
A hernia truss or belt is a supportive
undergarment for men designed to keep the
protruding tissue in place and relieve discomfort.
A hernia truss can help a patient with inguinal
hernia feel more comfortable temporarily, but it
doesn't treat the hernia.
44. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Myths and facts on INGUINAL HERNIAS
Can a groin hernia heal itself? Will it disappear
spontaneously?
No.
A groin hernia or any abdominal hernia cannot
heal on its own. If left untreated, the defect or
hole of the hernia usually gets bigger with time.
The presence of the defect or hole in a hernia is a
constant risk for incarceration and strangulation
of small intestines. A strangulated herniated
intestine is one in which the blood supply to the
intestines is cut-off as it is strangulated by the
hernia.
45. Fundamentals
and Generalities
in Medical
Management of
ABDOMINAL
HERNIAS
• Myths and facts on INGUINAL HERNIAS
Surgery is the only way to fix an inguinal hernia.
The surgeon will push the bulging tissue back
inside; close the hole or defect; and strengthen
the abdominal wall with stitches and perhaps
mesh.
