Nelson's syndrome
Nelson's syndrome samer kareem 4,819 Views • 2 years ago

Nelson syndrome refers to a spectrum of symptoms and signs arising from an adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)–secreting pituitary macroadenoma after a therapeutic bilateral adrenalectomy. The spectrum of clinical features observed relates to the local effects of the tumor on surrounding structures, the secondary loss of other pituitary hormones, and the effects of the high serum concentrations of ACTH on the skin. [1] The first case was reported by Nelson et al in 1958. [2]

For both DCIS and invasive cancer, radiation therapy to the remaining breast tissue is generally recommended after surgery. A lumpectomy may also be called breast-conserving surgery, a partial mastectomy, quadrantectomy, or a segmental mastectomy. A mastectomy is the surgical removal of the entire breast.

Cerclage is indicated in a patient with a history of painless cervical dilation and a second trimester loss. It is also indicated in a patient with a history of preterm birth and a short cervix found on ultrasound between 16-24 weeks gestation. Cerclage placement occurs after the first trimester in case the pregnancy is genetically abnormal and would likely result in a first trimester loss.

Limbal dermoid is a congenital growth on the eye that forms from germline cells that get trapped in this region during embryogenesis. The dermoid often has tissue from multiple germ layers including hair and fat. Dermoids on the eye can cause astigmatism and be unsightly.

St. John's Wort
St. John's Wort samer kareem 4,496 Views • 2 years ago

St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is an over-the-counter herbal supplement used for its antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Although it has been prescribed in Europe for mild to moderate depression, negative clinical trials and multiple reports of adverse drug interactions have raised concern about its use. St. John's wort induces various P450 isozymes (CYP 1A2, 2C19, 2C9, and 3A4) and P-glycoprotein systems. Drug interactions with the herbal product can lead to treatment failures with many medications, including hormonal contraceptives, antiretrovirals, immunosuppressive agents, narcotics, anticoagulants, and antifungals. There is also a risk for serotonin syndrome when St. John's wort is used in combination with other serotonergic antidepressants. The lack of strict regulation of herbal products that results in variable quality and content (unknown toxic ingredients or inactive ingredients) is also a concern.

Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines samer kareem 3,978 Views • 2 years ago

Benzodiazepines are a class of agents that work on the central nervous system, acting selectively on gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that inhibits or reduces the activity of nerve cells (neurons) within the brain. Benzodiazepines open GABA-activated chloride channels, and allow chloride ions to enter the neuron. This makes the neuron negatively charged and resistant to excitation.

Free Tissue Monitoring Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Free Tissue Monitoring Near Infrared Spectroscopy samer kareem 3,601 Views • 2 years ago

This is a video which discusses the Vioptix tOX system of near infrared spectroscopy for the monitoring of free tissue transfer. Having information as to the health of the microvascular anastomosis is critical to improved patient outcome and free tissue survival. With better monitoring, supplementing clinical evaluation, surgeons are able to assess the health of the free tissue better and potentially improve patient outcome. The example in this video is of a free breast reconstruction where the tOX system was used to remotely monitor the free flap. The surgeon can follow the flap real time and more importantly follow trend lines to help predict flap complications.
