Metastatic prostate cancer mimicking a subdural hematoma: A case report and literature review
Publication date: Available online 4 July 2018 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Andrew Nunno, Mahlon D. Johnson, Guan Wu, Yan Michael Li Occurrences of metastatic prostate cancer imitating a subdural hematoma are limited to a small number of case reports, even though prostate cancer spreads to the dura more than other types of cancer. Here, we present the case of a 64 year-old male whose prostate carcinoma’s metastasis mimicked a subdural hematoma, and he suffered a middle cerebral artery stroke. Prostate cancer’s high rate of progression to the dura is disproportionate to its relatively low rate o...

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function. >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.

Metastatic prostate cancer mimicking a subdural hematoma: A case report and literature review.
Abstract Occurrences of metastatic prostate cancer imitating a subdural hematoma are limited to a small number of case reports, even though prostate cancer spreads to the dura more than other types of cancer. Here, we present the case of a 64 year-old male whose prostate carcinoma's metastasis mimicked a subdural hematoma, and he suffered a middle cerebral artery stroke. Prostate cancer's high rate of progression to the dura is disproportionate to its relatively low rate of brain metastasis. Furthermore, we explore the potential molecular implications of prostate cancer's propensity to spread to the dura. P...

Unusual Techniques for Preserving Surgical and Oncologic Safety in Hepatectomy of Advanced Adrenal Malignancy with Vena Cava and Liver Invasion
We report herein three cases of major hepatectomy with IVC invasion and discuss several surgical tips.Patients and MethodsFrom March 2011 to February 2014, we retrospectively reviewed three cases of adrenal malignancy with liver and IVC invasion. Based on the severity of the malignant tumor, each case illustrates a different method to address surgical complications and maintain oncologic safety. Case 1: A 34-year-old woman was diagnosed with adrenocortical tumor during medical examination. Tumor invaded the right lobe of the liver and very close to the IVC. Fortunately, there was little thrombosis inside the IVC; we perfor...

Using the electronic medical record (EMR) for identifying women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a common, complex disease, with severe long term sequelae such as anovulatory infertility, endometrial carcinoma, heart attack and stroke. Despite its public healthy importance, PCOS is inconsistently diagnosed due to both its clinical heterogeneity and the use of multiple diagnostic definitions. An innovative approach to identify PCOS cases is to repurpose data routinely collected into the EMR, using the standardized International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision (ICD-9 and ICD-10) coding system.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Lower Lip: Case Report
A 67-year-old woman attended the stomatology clinic complaining of a wound on the lip, painful, with an evolution of 3 months. During this period, she was treated by a dermatologist for herpes simplex, but without resolution. Anamnesis indicated systemic arterial hypertension and previous stroke; she denied smoking or performing activities causing sun exposure. A physical examination revealed an exophytic ulcer on the lower lip with a crusted necrotic background, indurated rounded borders, soft base, 1.5  cm in size, and loss of the mucocutaneous line.

A Study on Etiopathogenesis of Vocal Cord Paresis and Palsy in a Tertiary Centre
AbstractTo identify patients of vocal cord paresis and palsy and to establish an etiological diagnosis based on a study performed in a tertiary centre. Study was done prospectively in the Department of ENT in KIMS Hospital, Bangalore, for 1  year, from June 2016 to June 2017. 100 patients with vocal cord paresis and palsy were identified and examined by using various tests and investigations to establish the etiology. Most of the patients presented with complaints of change in voice (92%). Some of the other common presenting complaint s included noisy breathing and difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in voice production ...

Gut microbiota in common elderly diseases affecting activities of daily living.
Abstract Gut microbiota are involved in the development or prevention of various diseases such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and malignancy such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, atherosclerotic stroke and cardiovascular disease are major diseases associated with decreased activities of daily living (ADL), especially in elderly people. Recent analyses have revealed the importance of gut microbiota in the control of these diseases. The composition or diversity of these microbiota is different between patients with these conditions and...

Brachytherapy of tongue carcinoma in a patient with difficult airway: anesthetic considerations.
We report a 74-year-old chronic smoker, chronic alcoholic with history of stroke, who had undergone brachytherapy for tongue carcinoma. Apart from a huge tongue tumor, he had an epiglottic mass but refused elective tracheostomy. This had led to a few critical states throughout the process of treatment, including a metabolic crisis due to thiamine deficiency and difficult airway crisis. To our best knowledge, there have been no reported case on a patient with vocal cord mass undergoing tongue brachytherapy. We hope sharing of this experience may aid the management of similar patients in future. PMID: 30662482 [PubMed]

A nomogram for the prediction of cerebrovascular disease among patients with brain necrosis after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
In various cancer populations, radiotherapy is associated with the development of vascular disease [1 –4]. Previous studies have established an increased incidence of carotid stenosis (CAS) and ischemic stroke in patients with head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy [4,5]. A study of 6862 patients (age>65  years) showed that five-year incidence of cerebrovascular events was 19% in patients treated with radiotherapy alone compared with 14% in patients treated with surgery plus radiotherapy; the corresponding ten-year incidence were 34% and 25%, respectively [4].
