Epub 2021 Mar 5. ABSTRACT Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is an uncommon cancer and the incidence of FTC is higher in endemic areas of iodine deficiency or endemic goiter. Up until the 1990s Fiji was listed as an iodine deficient country. We report a rare case of a 53-year-old native Fijian man who presented to our hospital with spinal cord compression due to a metastatic deposit of an undiagnosed FTC. He underwent emer gent neurosurgical treatment for his cord compression, with histology of the lesion at the level of T5 identifying metastatic FTC. Despite the emergent surgery, he did not have any neurological recovery. Total thyroidectomy confirmed the presence of a large left-sided FTC and the patient was assessed for radioactive iodine treatment. Nuclear medicine imaging revealed extensive distant bony metastatic disease. Unfortunately due to his significant distant disease burden, he was unable to undergo radioactive iodine ablation therapy. After significant allied health input he was discharged home with community palliative care input. PMID:34434453 | PMC:PMC8383535 | DOI:10.14740/jmc3658 View on the web Inoreader.

Continuous Local Anesthetic Wound Infusions as Postoperative Standard of Care in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Continuous Local Anesthetic Wound Infusions as Postoperative Standard of Care in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Via JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery Online First To the Editor We thank Gostian et al for their study demonstrating a reduction in postoperative pain when continuous wound infusion (CWI) was used after head and neck oncological resections. The authors call for CWI to be assimilated into the multimodal postoperative analgesic concept in patients. However, prior to widespread implementation, we find it prudent to draw attention to a few caveats to the study's conclusions. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.

Olfactory Bulb Volume—A Novel Preclinical Biomarker for Smell Loss and Neurodegenerative Disease

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Olfactory Bulb Volume—A Novel Preclinical Biomarker for Smell Loss and Neurodegenerative Disease Via JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery Online First Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer dementia and Parkinson disease, are disabling diseases that present a burden on society that rivals the costs of cancer and heart disease. Although current therapies are often unsuccessful at reversing the progression of these diseases, early detection in patients who are at risk of neurodegenerative disease could allow for timely interventions to delay and minimize the loss of brain function over time.
