Download as ppt, pdf2 likes493 views
This document discusses various types of abdominal pain from surgical causes, including right upper quadrant pain which could indicate conditions like appendicitis or cholecystitis. Epigastric pain may arise from peptic ulcer disease or pancreatitis. Central abdominal pain could result from small bowel obstruction. Right and left lower quadrant pain may be caused by appendicitis, diverticulitis, or inflammatory bowel disease. Self-harm involving foreign body insertion is another potential cause of abdominal pain discussed.

Diagnosis And Management Of Acute Abdominal Pain
Diagnosis And Management Of Acute Abdominal PainDimitri Raptis
油
This document discusses the diagnosis and management of acute abdominal pain (AAP). It defines AAP and lists some of the most common causes. Over 1000 causes exist and the initial diagnosis is inaccurate in 20-40% of cases. A thorough history, physical exam, and selective use of basic blood tests and imaging studies are important for diagnosis. Early laparoscopy may help diagnose unclear cases and prevent unnecessary laparotomies. Proper initial management focuses on resuscitation, analgesia and seeking senior help to guide further evaluation and treatment.Pressure Ulcers - Mussa Mensa
Pressure Ulcers - Mussa Mensawelshbarbers
油
1) Pressure ulcers are localized skin and tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure that impairs blood supply, typically occurring in immobilized patients. They develop quickly and all patients are potentially at risk.
2) Early recognition of at-risk individuals and risk assessment using tools like Braden or Norton scales are important for prevention. Risks include factors like impaired mobility, nutrition, illness.
3) Management involves pressure redistribution, wound care like debridement and dressings, treating infections, and good nutrition. The majority of pressure ulcers can be prevented through education, proper positioning, and reducing underlying risks.The Reconstructive Ladder - Mussa Mensa
The Reconstructive Ladder - Mussa Mensawelshbarbers
油
The document outlines the reconstructive ladder, which provides a systematic approach to wound reconstruction from least to most invasive options. The first rung involves dressings to promote healing by secondary intention. Primary closure and skin grafting are next options. Tissue expansion increases local skin availability. Flaps transfer tissue from a donor site and are the most complex option. The reconstructive ladder guides surgeons to initially choose the simplest method before advancing to more complex reconstruction as needed.Sarcoma - Mussa Mensa
Sarcoma - Mussa Mensawelshbarbers

This document provides an overview of sarcomas, including:
- Sarcomas are rare tumors accounting for less than 1% of cancers. They arise from embryonic mesoderm tissue.
- The document discusses the epidemiology, types, clinical presentation, investigation, and histopathology of sarcomas. It focuses on some of the most common subtypes like malignant fibrous histiocytoma, liposarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma.
- Evaluation of sarcoma involves clinical examination, imaging such as MRI or CT, and biopsy for histopathological diagnosis. Proper investigation is important for staging and determining the best treatment approach.Thyroid and parathyroid glands - Julie Cornish
Thyroid and parathyroid glands - Julie Cornishwelshbarbers
油
The thyroid gland is located in the neck below the thyroid cartilage. It produces the hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine which are regulated by TSH from the pituitary gland. Hyperthyroidism is more common in women and can cause weight loss, palpitations, tremors and eye symptoms. Hypothyroidism causes tiredness, weight gain, depression and myxedema. Thyroid cancer types include papillary, follicular, anaplastic and medullary carcinomas.
The parathyroid glands are usually four in number and located near the thyroid. They secrete parathyroid hormone which raises blood calcium levels by stimulating bone resorption and kidney reabsorption ofSmall bowel obstruction cases - Julie Cornish
Small bowel obstruction cases - Julie Cornishwelshbarbers

1) NSAIDs have been associated with gastric mucosal damage since the 1930s when aspirin was first linked to gastric ulcers. Both non-selective NSAIDs and COX-2 selective NSAIDs can cause upper GI side effects by inhibiting prostaglandin production, though COX-2 selective NSAIDs are associated with fewer ulcers.
2) NSAID use is associated with an increased risk of upper GI symptoms, peptic ulcers, and complications like bleeding. Risk factors for ulcers and complications include age over 60, previous ulcer history, concomitant use of aspirin or corticosteroids, and NSAID-associated dyspepsia.
3) While COX-2 selectiveDiarrhoea - Julie Cornish

The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) collaborate closely to produce the globally recognized TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours. Therefore, when discussing the "9th edition of UICC head and neck staging," it's largely in alignment with the updates introduced by the AJCC's Version 9. The UICC's TNM Core Committee finalized the 9th edition of the TNM Classification, with publication anticipated in August 2025.
The key updates for head and neck cancers in the 9th edition (or Version 9) reflect an ongoing effort to improve prognostic accuracy and align staging with contemporary clinical understanding and treatment outcomes. Here are the significant changes, particularly those relevant to head and neck:
* Emphasis on Personalized Care and Prognostic Refinements: The 9th edition reflects a greater focus on personalized care, incorporating refinements that aim to better predict patient outcomes.
* Revised Criteria for Specific Head and Neck Cancers:
* Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC): This site has seen substantial revisions, as highlighted in the previous response on AJCC updates. Key changes include:
* More precise definition of T3 disease (unequivocal evidence of bone involvement).
* Introduction of advanced radiologic extranodal extension (ENE) as an N3 criterion. This acknowledges the prognostic impact of ENE seen on imaging.
* Subclassification of M1 disease into M1a (3 or fewer metastatic lesions) and M1b (more than 3 lesions) to better stratify prognosis in metastatic settings.
* Redefined Stage Groups for NPC, with T1-2N0-1 now often falling into Stage I, and Stage IV being exclusively for metastatic disease, further subdivided by the M1a/M1b categories.
* Salivary Gland Cancers: Revised criteria based on updated imaging and anatomical features are being incorporated.
* HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancers: New staging is introduced for HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers to better reflect their distinct biological behavior and prognosis, which is generally more favorable than HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancers. This often involves specific considerations for nodal burden.
* Integration of Imaging and Anatomical Features: The updates are grounded in recent evidence, incorporating insights from advanced imaging techniques and a deeper understanding of anatomical spread.
* International Collaboration: These updates are the result of collaborative efforts between the AJCC and UICC, involving input from cancer registries, clinical outcomes data, and disease-specific experts worldwide. The goal is to provide a unified and globally applicable staging system.
* Dynamic Update Process: Similar to the AJCC's shift from "Editions" to "Versions" for specific sites, the UICC is also exploring more flexible ways to share future TNM updates.
