Metastasis fingers (acral metastasis) are finding a poor prognosis. Past medical history should be questioned and metastasis from primary tumor should be kept in mind in patients with pain, swelling, and hyperemia in fingers. Successful surgical treatment on acral metastasis does not extend the life expectancy; however, it reduces the patient’s pain during his terminal period, saves the functions of the limb, and increases life comfort.

History Of

Idiopathic intrinsic contracture (IIC) with no history of trauma, ischemia, or spasticity is extremely rare. We report herein a case of impaired extension of the digits due to bilateral IICs occurred in a 30-year-old woman with a past medical history of eating disorder and amenorrhea. Although no previous case has been reported in the literature, eight similar cases of IIC have been presented at Japanese domestic conferences. In these eight cases and the present case, resection of the thenar muscle cords and unilateral resection of the lateral band were effective. Since IIC in patients with an eating disorder is a rare condition, it would be treated conservatively at first as tendon sheath inflammation or locking. However, this condition may be resistant to conservative treatment, and surgical treatment should be considered in such cases.

We analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 128 patients (66 men and 62 women) with various forms of pancreatic necrotic process not associated with biliary tract pathology. There were 76 patients aged from 29 to 60 years old and 52 patients over 60 years old. Past medical history showed that 27 patients had alcoholism, 15 patients - gastric and duodenal ulcer, 16 - heart and vascular diseases; 23 patients had acute or chronic pancreatitis.

Pelvic osteosarcoma has a poor prognosis compared to osteosarcomas in other locations, and the reasons for this remain unknown. Surgical resection of pelvic osteosarcoma is technically demanding and often results in dysfunction and complications. In this study, we investigated the reasons underlying the poor prognosis of pelvic osteosarcoma by comparing it to femoral osteosarcoma using data from the Bone Tumor Registry in Japan. We used propensity score analysis to determine whether surgical resection of pelvic osteosarcoma improved its prognosis. We demonstrated that pelvic osteosarcoma had a poor prognosis because it occurred more often in the elderly, often had larger tumor size, and had metastasis at presentation more often in comparison to femoral osteosarcoma. These three factors were also associated with the non-surgical treatment of pelvic osteosarcoma, which also led to a poor outcome. The overall survival rate was only comparable in pelvic osteosarcoma and femoral osteosarcoma in cases treated with surgical resection. Propensity score analysis revealed that surgical treatment improved the prognosis of pelvic osteosarcoma. As such, we propose that surgical resection should be considered based on tumor stage and patient age in order to improve the prognosis of pelvic osteosarcoma.

Vestibular neuritis is a disorder selectively affecting the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve generally considered to be inflammatory in nature. There have been no reports of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 causing vestibular neuritis. We present the case of a 42-year-old Caucasian male physician, providing care to COVID-19 patients, with no significant past medical history, who developed acute vestibular neuritis, 2 weeks following a mild respiratory illness, later diagnosed as COVID-19. Physicians should keep severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 high on the list as a possible etiology when suspecting vestibular neuritis, given the extent and implications of the current pandemic and the high contagiousness potential.

Abstract Background Prognostic markers for meningioma recurrence are needed to guide patient management. Apart from rare hereditary syndromes, the impact of a previous unrelated tumor disease on meningioma recurrence has not been described before. Methods We retrospectively searched our database for patients with meningioma WHO grade I and complete resection provided between 2002 and 2016. Demographical, clinical, pathological, and outcome data were recorded. The following covariates were included in the statistical model: age, sex, clinical history of unrelated tumor disease, and localization (skull base vs. convexity). Particular interest was paid to the patients’ past medical history. The study endpoint was date of tumor recurrence on imaging. Prognostic factors were obtained from multivariate proportional hazards models. Results Out of 976 meningioma patients diagnosed with a meningioma WHO grade I, 416 patients fulfilled our inclusion criteria. We encountered 305 women and 111 men with a median age of 57 years (range: 21–89 years). Forty-six patients suffered from a tumor other than meningioma, and no TERT mutation was detected in these patients. There were no differences between patients with and without a positive oncological history in terms of age, tumor localization, or mitotic cell count. Clinical history of prior tumors other than meningioma showed the strongest association with meningioma recurrence (p = 0.004, HR = 3.113, CI = 1.431–6.771) both on uni- and multivariate analysis. Conclusion Past medical history of tumors other than meningioma might be associated with an increased risk of meningioma recurrence. A detailed pre-surgical history might help to identify patients at risk for early recurrence.

Introduction : Previous research into the administration of rTPA therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients has largely focused on the general population, however the comorbid clinical factors held by stroke patients are important factors in clinical decision making. One such comorbid condition is Atrial Fibrillation. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical factors associated with the administration of rtPA in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients specifically with a past medical history of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). Methods : The data for this analysis was collected at a regional stroke center from January 2010 to June 2016 in Greenville, SC. It was then analyzed retrospectively using a multivariate logistic regression to identify factors significantly associated with the inclusion or exclusion receiving rtPA therapy in the AIS/AFib patient population. This inclusion or exclusion is presented as an Odds Ratio and all data was analyzed using IBM SPSS. Results : A total of 158 patients with Atrial Fibrillation who had Acute Ischemic Strokes were identified. For the 158 patients, the clinical factors associated with receiving rtPA therapy were a Previous TIA event (OR = 12.155, 95% CI, 1.125‐131.294, P < 0.040), the administration of Antihypertensive medication before admission (OR = 7.157, 95% CI, 1.071‐47.837, P < 0.042), the administration of Diabetic medication before admission (OR = 13.058, 95% CI, 2.004‐85.105, P < 0.007), and serum LDL level (OR = 1.023, 95% CI, 1.004‐1.042, P < 0.16). Factors associated with not receiving rtPA therapy included a past medical history of Depression (OR = 0.012, 95% CI, 0.000‐0.401, P < 0.013) or Obesity (OR = 0.131, 95% CI, 0.034‐0.507, P < 0.003), Direct Admission to the Neurology Floor (OR = 0.179, 95% CI, 0.050‐0.639, P < 0.008), serum Lipid level (OR = 0.544, 95% CI, 0.381‐0.984, P < 0.044), and Diastolic Blood Pressure (OR = 0.896, 95% CI, 0.848‐0.946, P < 0.001). Conclusions : The results of this study demonstrate that there are significant associations between several clinical risk factors, patient lab values, and hospital admission factors in the administration of rTPA therapy to AIS patients with a past medical history of Atrial Fibrillation. Further research is recommended to determine the extent and reasoning behind of these associations as well as their impact on the clinical course for AIS/AFib patients.
