Intraosseous Carcinoma

Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma (SOC) is a primary intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw that was listed as a separate entity for the first time in the latest version of the World Health Organization classification of Head and Neck Tumors (2017). In this report, we present a case of SOC involving a circuitous diagnostic process because of the inadequately detailed biopsy findings and inherent impression based on the imaging manifestations. Through an extensive literature review, the histopathological and immunohistochemical features of the disease were briefly summarized. Radiological findings of SOC have been characterized in detail, and an imaging classification scheme has been proposed to further discuss the diversity of radiographic features. Due to the rarity of the disease, a comprehensive understanding of SOC is needed, and close collaboration between clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis.

Coronaviruses are an extensive family of viruses that can cause disease in both animals and humans. The current classification of coronaviruses recognizes 39 species in 27 subgenera that belong to the family Coronaviridae. From those, at least seven coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections in humans. Four of these viruses can cause common cold-like symptoms, while others that infect animals can evolve and become infectious to humans. Three recent examples of this viral jumps include SARS CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS CoV-2 virus. They are responsible for causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and the most recently discovered coronavirus disease during 2019 (COVID-19).COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. The rapid spread of the disease has taken the scientific and medical community by surprise. Latest figures from 14 April 2020 show more than 2 million people had been infected with the virus, causing more than 120,000 deaths in over 210 countries worldwide. The large amount of information we receive every day concerning this new disease is so abundant and dynamic that medical staff, health authorities, academics and the media are not able to keep up with this new pandemic. In order to offer a clear insight of the extensive literature available, we have conducted a comprehensive literature review of the SARS CoV-2 Virus and the Coronavirus Diseases 2019 (COVID-19).

Dentinoid has been mentioned as a frequent component in several types of benign odontogenic tumors; however, there are some other very rare dentinoid-producing odontogenic tumors that have been described, which are not recognized in the current World Health Organization Histological Classification of Odontogenic Tumours. In this context, we report an unusual malignant odontogenic tumor containing dentinoid located in the left maxilla of a 41-year-old man. The lesion was initially diagnosed and treated as a cemento-ossifying fibroma. After 7 years, a tumor was noted at the same location and was diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma. The patient developed a new lesion 2 years later. Histological features included an epithelial proliferation of basaloid and clear cells, some with peripheral palisading, which were scattered both in a fibrous stroma and within an amorphous eosinophilic dentinoid product. Because of doubts about the first 2 diagnoses and the current situation, all histopathological slides were reviewed in our service as a consultation case, and the findings were consistent with the diagnosis of an odontogenic carcinoma with dentinoid. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed and an ultrastructural study by scanning electronic microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis was made to characterize dentinoid material. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient is alive and free of the disease. This case highlights the wide variability regarding cytological evidence of malignancy, and adds a new case of odontogenic carcinoma with dentinoid, which represents a distinct entity with locally aggressive behavior and should be considered be included in a future World Health Organization Histological Classification of Tumours.

Latar belakang, Jiwa adalah unsur manusia yang bersifat nonmateri, tetapi fungsi dan manifestasinya sangat terkait pada materi. Mahasiswa yang pertama kali mempelajari ilmu jiwa dan keperawatan jiwa sering mengalami kesulitan dengan hal yang harus dipelajari, karena jiwa bersifat abstrak dan tidak berwujud benda. Tujuan, Untuk memberikan gambaran alasan perawat dalam pelaksanaan pendokumentasi Asuhan Keperawatan dan memberikan gambaran hambatan perawat terhadap pelaksanaan pendokumentasian asuhan. Metode, Kajian ini menggunakan literature review berdasarkan buku teks, buku refrensi, jurnal e-book (10 tahun terakhir) dengan menganalisis, eksplorasi, dan kajian bebas. Hasil, Hasil dari diagnosis gangguan jiwa telah mengalami berbagai penyempurnaan. Pada tahun 1960-an, World Health Organization (WHO) memulai menyusun klasifikasi diagnosis seperti tercantum pada International Classification of Disease (ICD). Klasifikasi ini masih terus disempurnakan, yang saat ini telah sampai pada edisi ke sepuluh (ICD X). Asosiasi dokter psikiatri Amerika juga telah mengembangkan sistem klasifikasi berdasarkan diagnosis dan manual statistik dari gangguan jiwa (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder—DSM). Pembahasan, dijelaskan beberapa tentang pendokumentasi terhadap pelayanan keperawatan jiwa yaitu : Alasan Pelaksanaan Pendokumentasian Asuhan Keperawatan, Hambatan pelaksanaan pendokumentasian, Dukungan dalam Pelaksanaan pendokumentasian, Harapan dalam Pelaksanaan Pendokumentasian Asuhan keperawatan.

Impairment Severity

Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, was published in December 2007 and is the result of efforts to enhance the relevance of impairment ratings, improve internal consistency, promote precision, and simplify the rating process. The revision process was designed to address shortcomings and issues in previous editions and featured an open, well-defined, and tiered peer review process. The principles underlying the AMA Guides have not changed, but the sixth edition uses a modified conceptual framework based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), a comprehensive model of disablement developed by the World Health Organization. The ICF classifies domains that describe body functions and structures, activities, and participation; because an individual's functioning and disability occur in a context, the ICF includes a list of environmental factors to consider. The ICF classification uses five impairment classes that, in the sixth edition, were developed into diagnosis-based grids for each organ system. The grids use commonly accepted consensus-based criteria to classify most diagnoses into five classes of impairment severity (normal to very severe). A figure presents the structure of a typical diagnosis-based grid, which includes ranges of impairment ratings and greater clarity about choosing a discreet numerical value that reflects the impairment.

Abstract A long-standing criticism of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) has been the inequity between the internal medicine ratings and the orthopedic ratings; in the comparison, internal medicine ratings appear inflated. A specific goal of the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, was to diminish, where possible, those disparities. This led to the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health from the World Health Organization in the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, including the addition of the burden of treatment compliance (BOTC). The BOTC originally was intended to allow rating internal medicine conditions using the types and numbers of medications as a surrogate measure of the severity of a condition when other, more traditional methods, did not exist or were insufficient. Internal medicine relies on step-wise escalation of treatment, and BOTC usefully provides an estimate of impairment based on the need to be compliant with treatment. Simplistically, the need to take more medications may indicate a greater impairment burden. BOTC is introduced in the first chapter of the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, which clarifies that “BOTC refers to the impairment that results from adhering to a complex regimen of medications, testing, and/or procedures to achieve an objective, measurable, clinical improvement that would not occur, or potentially could be reversed, in the absence of compliance.
