Recurrent giant fibrovascualr oesophageal polyp: Benefits and pitfalls of a multimodal approach.

ABSTRACT: Fibrovascular polyp of the cervical esophagus represents about 0.5% to 1% of all benign oesophageal tumours. Usually asymptomatic, when FP protrudes into the oesophageal lumen, this may cause respiratory obstruction and provoke dysphagia, vomiting, dyspnoea, and retrosternal pain. In this article, we describe a multimodal approach in the treatment of a complex recurrent FP, for which surgical resection represents the safer and less invasive procedure.

Giant fibrovascular polyp of the larynx.

Project description:Introduction Fibrovascular polyps (FVPs) are rare benign tumors originating in the cervical esophagus, and, rarely, in the hypopharynx. A case of FVP from the larynx has not yet been described in the literature. Objectives To discuss a unique case of FVP originating in the larynx. Resumed Report A 58-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of progressive dysphagia. Endoscopic exams identified an elongated polypoid lesion originating from the mucosa of the epiglottis and the right pharyngoepiglottic fold. Excision of this mass under direct laryngoscopy revealed an 11.5 × 0.8-cm polypoid lesion, histologically diagnosed as an FVP. Conclusion The location of this FVP is important because, despite being a benign tumor, it carries a potentially lethal risk of upper airway obstruction.

A giant left atrial appendage aneurysm with recurrent chest tightness and atrial tachycardia: Multimodal imaging findings

Project description:Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that is usually incidentally found in middle-aged patients. Though initially asymptomatic, LAAA can cause some serious complications: atrial tachyarrhythmia, thromboembolism, peripheral compression, and cardiac dysfunction. Multimodal imaging technologies, especially echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) scanning play an important role in the diagnosis of LAAA. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is generally used for preliminary evaluation and diagnosis of the aneurysm. CT scanning can further confirm the diagnosis by demonstrating the spatial structure relationships and eliminating the possibility of other cardiac tumors. The following case study pertains to a 54-year-old patient with recurrent chest tightness and atrial tachycardia. The patient was diagnosed with a giant LAAA by multimodal imaging technology, and the aneurysm was surgically removed under cardiopulmonary bypass. After 4 years of follow-up, the patient reported living a healthy life without chest discomfort, complications, or medication. Multimodal imaging can provide important information for the diagnosis and treatment of left atrial appendage aneurysms, and aneurysm resection can be an effective therapeutic approach with a good long-term prognosis.

Regional implementation of atrial fibrillation screening: benefits and pitfalls.

Project description:AimsDespite general awareness that screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) could reduce health hazards, large-scale implementation is lagging behind technological developments. As the successful implementation of a screening programme remains challenging, this study aims to identify facilitating and inhibiting factors from healthcare providers' perspectives.Methods and resultsA mixed-methods approach was used to gather data among practice nurses in primary care in the southern region of the Netherlands to evaluate the implementation of an ongoing single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)-based AF screening programme. Potential facilitating and inhibiting factors were evaluated using online questionnaires (N = 74/75%) and 14 (of 24) semi-structured in-depth interviews (58.3%). All analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0. In total, 16 682 screenings were performed on an eligible population of 64 000, and 100 new AF cases were detected. Facilitating factors included 'receiving clear instructions' (mean ± SD; 4.12 ± 1.05), 'easy use of the ECG-based device' (4.58 ± 0.68), and 'patient satisfaction' (4.22 ± 0.65). Inhibiting factors were 'time availability' (3.20 ± 1.10), 'insufficient feedback to the practice nurse' (2.15 ± 0.89), 'absence of coordination' (54%), and the 'lack of fitting policy' (32%).ConclusionLarge-scale regional implementation of an AF screening programme in primary care resulted in a low participation of all eligible patients. Based on the perceived barriers by healthcare providers, future AF screening programmes should create preconditions to fit the intervention into daily routines, appointing an overall project lead and a General Practitioner (GP) as a coordinator within every GP practice.

Gastroscopic removal of a giant fibrovascular polyp from the esophagus.

Project description:Giant polyps in the esophagus are rarely occurring benign tumors and may contain lipomas, fibrovascular polyps, fibrolipomas or neurofibromas polyps. Clinical symptoms include dysphagia, vomiting, retrosternal pain, shortness of breath, and asthma. In some cases, the polyps are regurgitated into the oral cavity and represent a spectacular manifestation. The reported case in this study was of a 50-year-old man who complained of emesia for half a year and dysphagia for one month before being hospitalized. Occasionally, a fleshly mass reached into his mouth. The results of endoscopic ultrasonography, barium swallow in the upper digestive tract, and a computed tomography scan demonstrated a giant polyp in the esophagus, which was subsequently removed by gastroscopy. Pathological examination determined a fibrovascular polyp.

Resolution modeling in PET imaging: theory, practice, benefits, and pitfalls.

Project description:In this paper, the authors review the field of resolution modeling in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction, also referred to as point-spread-function modeling. The review includes theoretical analysis of the resolution modeling framework as well as an overview of various approaches in the literature. It also discusses potential advantages gained via this approach, as discussed with reference to various metrics and tasks, including lesion detection observer studies. Furthermore, attention is paid to issues arising from this approach including the pervasive problem of edge artifacts, as well as explanation and potential remedies for this phenomenon. Furthermore, the authors emphasize limitations encountered in the context of quantitative PET imaging, wherein increased intervoxel correlations due to resolution modeling can lead to significant loss of precision (reproducibility) for small regions of interest, which can be a considerable pitfall depending on the task of interest.

Gastric Adenocarcinoma: A Multimodal Approach.

Project description:Despite its declining incidence, gastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. A multimodal approach to GC is critical to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Pretherapy fine resolution contrast-enhanced cross-sectional imaging, endoscopic ultrasound and staging laparoscopy play an important role in patients with newly diagnosed ostensibly operable GC to avoid unnecessary non-therapeutic laparotomies. Currently, margin negative gastrectomy and adequate lymphadenectomy performed at high volume hospitals remain the backbone of GC treatment. Importantly, adequate GC surgery should be integrated in the setting of a multimodal treatment approach. Treatment for advanced GC continues to expand with the emergence of additional lines of systemic and targeted therapies.

Giant thymolipoma in a 16-year-old girl with multimodal diagnostic approach and surgical management: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThymolipomas are rare benign mediastinal tumors primarily occurring in young adults, although they can also present in pediatric populations. These tumors are often asymptomatic, but their substantial size can create significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, necessitating careful evaluation and management.Case descriptionA teenage girl was diagnosed with a giant thymolipoma, which was discovered incidentally during a routine chest radiograph. Notably, the patient remained asymptomatic despite the tumor's considerable size and its apparent impact on surrounding thoracic structures. To facilitate a thorough preoperative assessment, a multimodal imaging approach was employed, including contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These advanced imaging techniques played a crucial role in delineating the tumor's extent, characteristics, and relationship to adjacent anatomical structures, thereby informing surgical planning. Ultimately, the tumor was successfully excised through a median sternotomy. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of thymolipoma. Remarkably, after a follow-up period of five years, the patient showed no signs of recurrence and maintained a healthy status.ConclusionsThis case underscores the effectiveness of a multimodal imaging strategy for the diagnosis and preoperative assessment of pediatric thymolipomas. It emphasizes the feasibility of complete surgical resection, even for large tumors, leading to a favorable prognosis. Moreover, it highlights the importance of tailored management strategies for pediatric patients with rare thoracic tumors, as evidenced by this successful clinical outcome.
