Radiation-induced osteoradionecrosis of the ribs in a patient with breast cancer: A case report.

Authors:
Suhong Kim Young Seon Kim

Radiol Case Rep 2022 Aug 13;17(8):2894-2898. Epub 2022 Jun 13.

Department of Radiology, Yeungnam University College of Medicine, Daegu, Republic of Korea.

Osteoradionecrosis of the chest wall after radiation therapy for breast cancer is rare; however, it is one of the most severe complications of radiation treatment. Radiologically, osteoradionecrosis can manifest as a focal lucent area in bone, periostitis, sclerosis, and cortical irregularity of bones on X-ray or computed tomography; therefore, differentiation from bone metastasis can be challenging. Associated insufficiency fractures, ulceration, and skin necrosis may also occur. We encountered a patient with osteoradionecrosis in the left anterior ribs after radiation therapy for breast cancer. Chest computed tomography revealed cortical irregularity with severe sclerotic changes of the anterior arc of the left fist to the fourth ribs. The patient's skin on the left chest wall exhibited ulceration with purulent discharge. Ultrasonography of the left chest wall revealed diffuse skin thickening with hyperechoic changes in the subcutaneous fat layer of the left chest wall with calcifications. The patient underwent rib resection and chest wall reconstruction. Recognizing characteristic imaging features of osteoradionecrosis is important for radiologists to differentiate it from bone metastasis and plan appropriate treatment.

Knowledge-based planning algorithm for lung SBRT with robust Bayesian stochastic frontier analysis and missing data management.

Authors:
Angelika Kroshko Olivier Morin Louis Archambault

Med Phys 2022 Aug 10. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

Service de Radio Oncologie, Hôpital Enfant-Jésus, CHU de Québec, 1401 18e rue, Québec, (Qc), G1J 1Z4, Canada.

Purpose: A knowledge-based planning technique is developed based on Bayesian stochastic frontier analysis. A novel missing data management is applied in order to handle missing organs-at-risk and work with a complete dataset.

Methods: Geometric metrics are used to predict DVH metrics for lung SBRT with a retrospective database of 299 patients. Read More

Dosimetric Comparison of Different Radionuclides Used in Metastatic Bone Disease Treatment.

Authors:
Handan Tanyildizi Kökkülünk

Curr Radiopharm 2022 Aug 6. Epub 2022 Aug 6.

Radiotherapy Program, Vocational School of Health Sciences, Altinbas University.

Introduction: In this study, it is aimed to determine the critical organ doses in 223Ra, 89Sr, 153Sm and 32P treatments via dosimetry using the phantoms Material and methods: The OpenDose is used to calculate S values (mGy MBq-1s-1) for bone surface, red bone marrow, urinary bladder wall, testes, ovaries, uterus and kidneys using male (ICRP110AM) and female (ICRP110AF) phantoms. The cortical thoracic spine is modeled as metastasis. Moreover, the absorbed doses are computed via MIRD formalism according to the activities of 3. Read More

Ultrasound Guided Nerve Blocks for Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome an Overlooked Cause of Chronic Abdominal Pain: A Case Series.

Authors:
Anuj Jung Rayamajhi Pawan Kumar Hamal Prajjwal Raj Bhattarai Subash Chandra Paudel Prashanta Paudel Bidur Dhungel Rupesh Kumar Yadav Nabin Pokhrel Sarika Timilsina

J Nepal Health Res Counc 2022 Jun 3;20(1):272-275. Epub 2022 Jun 3.

Civil Service Hospital, Minbhawan, Nepal.

Entrapment abdominal neuropathy is not a common diagnosis in our context. Chronic Abdominal wall pain is often mistaken for gastritis, gynecological issue, thoracic spinal radiculopathy, rectus sheath hematoma, abdominal muscle injury or psychiatric disorder. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome is one of the frequent causes of abdominal wall pain occurring due to trapped thoracic intercostal nerves between abdominal muscles. Read More

Bentall procedure for retrograde type A dissection after endovascular repair in type A aortic dissection: A case report.

Authors:
Li Ma Long Liu Sheng Yan Jun Yan

Medicine (Baltimore) 2022 Aug;101(31):e29615

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Taiyuan Central Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China.

Rationale: The management of retrograde type A dissection (RTAD) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has rarely been reported. We report the management of RTAD after TEVAR with in situ fenestration for TAAD.

Patient Concerns: A 59-year-old man with TAAD had undergone TEVAR with in situ fenestration 4 months prior to presenting to our emergency room complaining of acute chest and back pain. Read More

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dangerous vascular disease without any effective drug therapies so far. Emerging evidence suggests the phenotypic differences in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) between regions of the aorta are implicated in the development of atherosclerosis evidenced by the abdominal aorta more vulnerable to atherosclerosis than the thoracic aorta in large animals and humans. The prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) is much less than that of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Read More
