Background: Dog bite injuries cause significant preventable patient morbidity and health care expenditure in children. This study aimed to characterize the patient and healthcare burden related to pediatric dog bite injuries at a level 1 trauma center.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of 356 pediatric patients who presented to Virginia Commonwealth University Pediatric Emergency Department between July 2007 and August 2017 after sustaining dog bite injuries.
Background: Many patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) will require feeding tube placement for nutritional support using percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube. Rarely, HNC metastases have been reported at the PEG site, a morbidity associated with a poor outcome.
Methods: Along with a case report, an evaluation of PEG placement methods with metastases from the literature was completed along with a statistical analysis of the literature to determine PEG site metastases and method of placement correlations.
Melanoma confers an estimated lifetime risk of one in 50 for 2016. Clinicopathologic staging and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) have been the standard of care for T2 and T3 lesions. Molecular biomarkers identified in the primary lesion suggestive of metastatic potential may offer a more conclusive prognosis of these lesions.
