Cardiac tumours
Cardiac tumours are most often secondaries from malignancies of breast, lung or malignant melanoma. Primary tumours of the heart are most often benign, of which about half are myxomas. Malignant primary tumours of the heart contribute to about a quarter of the primary cardiac tumours. The commonest primary malignant tumour of the heart would be a sarcoma [1]. Cardiac tumours may present with cardiovascular or constitutional symptoms. Sometimes they are incidentally detected on echocardiography or other imaging modalities. Left atrial myxoma on echocardiogram Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can give addi...

‘ Eat Cake For Breakfast ’ : A Tribute to Kate Spade
“Are you sure she needs this surgery?” my brother asked my surgeon minutes before the doctor entered the operating room. My brother was suspicious of Western medicine’s harsh approaches to treating cancer. “If she doesn’t have this surgery, she’ll be dead in three months,” the surgeon said sternly, put out that my brother would even question his authority. I would learn of this conversation several days after my operation to remove an angiosarcoma on my right breast. The angiosarcoma had resulted from radiation treatment I’d had to eliminate another breast cancer four years before. Two bouts of cancer in...

Precision Medicine and the Reinvention of Human Disease (Book Index)
In January, 2018, Academic Press published my bookPrecision Medicine and the Reinvention of Human Disease. This book has an excellent " look inside " at itsGoogle book site, which includes the Table of Contents. In addition, I thought it might be helpful to see the topics listed in the Book ' s index.

A (Belated) Tribute to David Mendosa
I still have some trouble coming to grips with the fact that on May 8, 2017, the Diabetes Community (D-OC) lost one of the Diabetes Online Community ' s true pioneers and I ' d say founders: David Mendosa (http://www.mendosa.com/ -- for the time being, anyway). David passed away following a diagnosis of angiosarcoma in the liver -- which is evidently a type of cancer. I think the fact that he passed away from something other than diabetes or its complications is a true testament to David ' s belief of living life to the fullest in spite of diabetes, which need not impede anyone, in spite of being dealt a pretty l...

Dealing with the Looming Cloud of the Possibility of Early Death
Five years ago, I had breast cancer. To rid myself of it, I had chemotherapy, radiation and a double mastectomy. Flash forward five years. One day, I noticed a strange, bright red splotch on my breast, the breast where the cancer had been. The doctor did a biopsy of it, and the results came back malignant. It was an angiosarcoma, and the suspected cause was the radiation treatment I’d had five years before. This was a very rare form of cancer that, again, results sometimes from the radiation itself. That which was meant to heal me, made me ill. On June 10, 2016, I had surgery to remove the cancer. Fine and dandy. They go...

Brookings vs Yelp and E-Patients: They’re All Wrong, but Mostly Brookings
By ADAMS DUDLEY, MD Can I fool you with the picture above? Apparently, some people think so. I’m a Twitter newbie, but I’ve already discovered that sometimes you can tweet what you think is a helpful piece of data, then find yourself suddenly caught up in an explosive controversy. When it’s the Brookings Institute and US News and World Report on one side and passionate e-patients on the other, a research tweep is liable to feel like a nerdy accountant who wandered into the OK Corral at high noon with neither Kevlar nor a gun. This happened to me when Niam Yaraghi of Brookings posted on the US News blog and the Bro...
