A 64 y/o male was referred to Wills Eye Hospital Ocular Oncology clinic for a pigmentary lesion on his left eye. He had seen an ophthalmologist three months prior, at which point the pigmented area had already been noted for approximately four months. The patient denied any vision changes, pain, redness or discharge. The anterior segment exam OS revealed a diffuse (30 x 20 mm diameter) area of ill-defined gray pigmentation of the inferonasal bulbar conjunctiva, extending from the inferonasal limbus and involving the tarsal conjunctiva, plica semilunaris and caruncle. There was no skin, scleral, iris or choroidal involvement, and AS-OCT imaging and B-scan ultrasonography OS were unremarkable. What’s your diagnosis?

Frailty has been a buzzword in research of late, and with good reason. For patients, it can affect surgical outcomes, be a predictor of future disease, and generally impact quality of life. So how do clinicians measure frailty? Can #ENT issues exacerbate frailty or is it the other way around? JAMA has recently published a paper regarding frailty's impact on treating older head and neck cancer patients (https://lnkd.in/gjxSq5dT), plus another on its association with olfactory impairment (https://lnkd.in/ghyQQbnf). Quality of life for #ENT patients is just one of the hot topics that will be discussed and debated at Frontiers 2025. We have a fantastic line-up of speakers at the forefront of ENT research and clinical work who'll be sharing their knowledge - put it in your diaries now! thefrontiersconference.org #Otolaryngology #OHNS #EarNoseThroat #ENT #FrontiersOHNS #HeadAndNeck #HNC #HeadAndNeckCancer #Olfaction #Olfactory #SenseofSmell #Anosmia #LossofSmell #MedicalResearch #QualityofLife

Exploring the metabolic framework of cancer offers a fresh perspective beyond traditional oncology, which often attributes cancer to bad luck, particularly in pediatric cases. New insights reveal the significant role of environmental toxins and lifestyle factors. By educating parents about the impact of diet and environment, we empower them to take control and improve their child's healing process. Addressing the root causes is essential, rather than relying solely on treatments like chemotherapy or surgery.

🚀 Don't miss out on an inspiring and insightful read from Bloomberg Businessweek this week—free for a limited time! Bloomberg Businessweek just published a fascinating article on the evolution and future of focused ultrasound therapy. Written by reporter Noah Buhayar, the piece offers a personal perspective as he shares his journey with a benign brain tumor and his discovery of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. This story highlights the challenges of long development timelines in medical device technology and the patience required for commercial success. Yet, it also paints a hopeful picture of a post-scalpel future, where non-invasive, low-pain treatments align perfectly with modern healthcare demands for safety, efficiency, and speed. At TOOsonix, we fully share this positive outlook and are extremely excited about our recent advances towards commercialization. With our recent CE mark and approval for treating Basal Cell Carcinoma, Actinic Keratosis (the most common cancer and pre-cancer globally), and a wide range of other skin disorders affecting millions, we’ve overcome significant clinical and regulatory hurdles. Now, we're focused on bringing these life-changing treatments to clinics and patients worldwide! 🗓️ The article is free to access without a Bloomberg account until August 21st—don’t miss your chance to read it: https://lnkd.in/dz55SGFT #skincancer #dermatolgy #BCC #HIFU #focusedultrasound #toosonix

Endometriosis, a non-neoplastic pathology, presents challenges with its chronic inflammatory features and potential for malignancy. Malignant transformation in endometrioma is rare but should be considered in certain cases, especially with large endometriomas and advanced age. Our study highlights the importance of preoperative endometrial sampling in women with abnormal vaginal bleeding to detect potential pathologies and tumors. Atypical endometriomas with solid areas and papillary structures should raise suspicion for malignancy, prompting referral for MRI. Our research underscores the significance of identifying these features early on to enhance patient care and outcomes. Read more: DOI: 10.4274/nkmj.galenos.2024.36002 #endometriosis

🩷 There is now so much evidence to support the positive impact of emotion focused therapy through breast cancer with research proving that not only can it lower stress and anxiety but in doing so can promote more positive physiological responses to treatment ( both chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and aids recovery while strengthening immunity 🩷 Guided imagery (with a qualified practitioner) used in conjunction with cancer treatments was found to improve patients’ quality of life and enhance immune function in those undergoing surgery. In a study of patients with breast or gynecologic cancer undergoing guided imagery alleviated anxiety, depression, and body discomfort. Presurgical use of guided imagery was shown to reduce mood disturbance and improve postsurgical immune parameters 🩷 I am finding that after just 2 sessions with me clients are reporting an increased sense of calm a reduction in fearfulness and better sleep 🩷 I create personalized guided audio engaging all the senses for each client to continue therapy at home between visits 🩷 Data also suggest utility of guided imagery for decreasing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting and dyspnea in patients with advanced cancer 🩷 lt would be great if you would share this important information #breastcancerawareness #breastcancersurvivor #traumahealing #EmotionalJourney #hypnotherapist #traumainformed #calm #naturalhealing #positivemindset #janmcnamara #emotional #emotionfocusedtherapy #breastcancersupport #selfcare

Did you know The NHS offers Reiki Therapy as part of caner treatment and even offers sessions to carers of cancer patients? According to Cancer Research and NHS England Reiki Therapy a literature review (2014) looked at whether reiki could help with pain and anxiety. The authors reviewed information from various studies that had used reiki on people with cancer and people without cancer. Some of the people had recently had surgery so they wanted to see if reiki could help with pain after surgery. Others were about to have a breast biopsy and were feeling anxious. They found that after reiki, women having a breast biopsy had a reduction in their anxiety. And patients who had recently had surgery reported a decrease in their pain. The authors concluded that reiki may be helpful for pain and anxiety. As well as helping with pain management and anxety Reiki has the following benefits: ✨Relaxation ✨Helping with end of life care ✨Painfree and non invasive and can even be administered remotely. ✨Suitable for any age or condition As a Level 3 Practitioner I am able to provide this service for anyone who is unwell or having treatment.
