The Art of Medicine or the Medico-Legal minefield
When Hippocrates started tutoring the first medical students on the steps of the Acropolis back in Ancient Greece, the art of medicine was born and the gradual understanding of disease processes and healing could really begin. It really goes without saying that things have significantly changed from Hippocrates’ day. I would say that even forward thinkers such as himself, could barely imagine the advancements that we have achieved, wondering at our ability to treat a vast array of ailments which truly benefit humanity.

Phantom first metacarpal
A 65-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of left hand pain, erythema and swelling over the thenar eminence. He had a history of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus, T3 N1 and was under oncology. Left hand x-ray (figure 1) showed complete destruction of the first metacarpal bone consistent with bony metastasis. Metastasis to the hand and wrist bones represents around 0.1% of all bone metastasis. It most commonly occurs after lung (42%), kidney (11%) and breast (11%) cancers.1 Metastasis from oesophageal cancer is an even rarer entity. We identified four previous cases in literature....

Big Tech In Medicine: How Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, IBM & NVIDIA Disrupt Healthcare
We’ve spent a good part of our summer writing about Big Tech and how these companies, Amazon, Google/Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, IBM and NVIDIA have approached medicine and its trillion-dollar market possibilities. These six companies have the most projects in healthcare, and their presence is not negligible at all: they all have the power and the incentive to transform and help digitise this market. Moreover, all of these companies have something peculiar and very unique to give. Amazon’s distribution network can change the way we think of pharmacies in the future. Microsoft can bring steadiness, reason and predict...

Radiol Clin North Am. 2021 Sep;59(5):755-772. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2021.05.007.ABSTRACTThe clinical management of melanoma patients has been rapidly evolving with the introduction of new targeted immuno-oncology (IO) therapeutics. The current diagnostic paradigms for melanoma patients begins with the histopathologic confirmation of melanoma, initial staging of disease burden with imaging and surgical approaches, treatment monitoring during systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy or IO therapeutics, restaging after completion of adjuvant systemic, surgical, and/or external radiation therapy, and the detection of recurrent malignancy/...
