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

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

What is Meningioma pdf.pdf
1. What is Meningioma? Symptoms, Diagnosis, &
Treatment
Meningioma Meaning
Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumours.The tumours are very
rarely cancerous. These tumours arise from the meningeal covering of the brain,
namely from the arachnoid layer.
These tumours are named on the location of their origin and sometimes can become
very large in size.
Risk factors for a meningioma include:
● Radiation treatment. Radiation therapy that involves radiation to the head
may increase the risk of a meningioma.
2. ● Female hormones. Meningiomas are more common in women, leading
doctors to believe that female hormones may play a role. Some studies have
also suggested a link between breast cancer and meningioma risk related to
the role of hormones. Some research suggests that the use of oral birth
control and hormone replacement therapy could raise the risk of meningioma
growth.
● An inherited nervous system disorder. The rare disorder neurofibromatosis
2 increases the risk of meningioma and other brain tumors.
● Obesity. A high body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor for many
types of cancers, and a higher prevalence of meningiomas among obese
people has been observed in several large studies. But the relationship
between obesity and meningiomas is not clear.
Meningioma Symptoms
● Weakness in hands or legs
● Difficulty in walking
● Confusion
● Memory disturbance
● Hearing loss
● Vision loss
● Scalp swelling or growth
● Weakness in legs or bowel or bladder problems in spinal meningiomas
● Headaches with vomiting
● Visual complaints
● Drowsiness
● Loss of consciousness
● Seizures
Diagnosis
MRI brain with contrast is the best modality of diagnosis of these tumors. Certain
cases may also require CT scan or angiography for surgical planning or treatment.
Treatment for Meningioma
1: Wait and Watch:
3. Small tumours or calcified tumours which may have been picked up on imaging done
due to some other reason , especially in the elderly may be just kept under
observation. Some of them may not show any growth and may not need any
treatment.
2. Surgery :
Craniotomy and excision is the preferred treatment of choice in the majority of
cases. Surgery depends on the location of the tumours and can be quite
complicated. These tumours can sometimes grow very large in size and surgeries
can be quite complex and demanding. Some tumours or locations may not allow
complete removal and partial decompression may only be done
Modern tools such as Neuronavigation, intra op imaging, intra op neuromonitoring
help make surgery safer and help in more complete removal of the tumour.
Spinal meningiomas are treated with laminectomy and removal of the tumours.
These tumours though small can present with significant weakness in the body due
to their location
Some tumours which may have destroyed the skull bone or have come out in the
scalp may need complex reconstruction of the skull or face with the help of a plastic
surgeon.
3. Radiosurgery (SRS) / Gamma Knife:
Certain tumours which may be small in size, or in dangerous locations may be
treated with SRS. Residual tumours after surgery may be treated with radiosurgery .
4. Radiation therapy
Tumours which are high grade , or tumours which can not be removed surgically
may be treated with radiotherapy to control their growth.
Treatment of these tumours can be quite complex and difficult and may need multi
modality care .
Grading
Meningiomas can be classified into 3 grades. Grading can only be done after
surgical removal of the tumour of biopsy from the tumour. Treatment options and
outcome depends on the grade of tumours.
Grade I
4. The most common grade. Majority of meningiomas will fall into this category. These
are generally slow growing tumours which can cause symptoms due to their location
and size. These meningiomas can be cured after total removal during surgery.
Cases where surgery maynot be an option or where total removal is not feasible may
be treated with SRS or radiotherapy.
Grade II
Atypical meningiomas are mid-grade tumours. This means the tumours have a
higher chance of coming back after being removed. These tumours will be generally
given radiotherapy after removal to reduce the chances of recurrence.
Grade III
Anaplastic meningiomas are malignant (cancerous). This means they are
fast-growing tumours. These tumours can be quite aggressive and grow rapidly and
need to be treated with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. They have a very
strong tendency to recur and may need multiple surgeries.
Prognosis
As these tumours arise from the covering of the brain most of them cause symptoms
due to pressure and size. Once removed most patients can recover completely and
live a normal healthy life.
Very large tumours can be removed safely and cured with current surgical
techniques and methods.
