Recurrent Osteosarcoma Presenting as Hepatic Metastasis: A Case Report.

Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor, derived from primitive bone-forming mesenchymal cells, and its aggressive nature often leads to significant morbidity and mortality, with amputation being routinely performed in localized cases. Post-amputation morbidity has a significant impact on the quality of life of the affected individuals. The tumor frequently metastasizes to the lungs and bones, and widespread disease remains the leading cause of most patient deaths.

Infective endarteritis of coronaries following percutaneous coronary intervention (stentocarditis) leading to pseudoaneurysm - a retrospective study of eleven cases.

Background: Coronary endarteritis and stent abscess following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are rare and challenging conditions with no clear treatment guidelines available.

Aims: This retrospective study aims to present the clinical features, patient and procedural factors, management strategies, and outcomes in 11 consecutive cases referred between 2018 and 2022.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 11 cases of coronary endarteritis and stent abscess post-PCI that were referred from various centres.

Effects of Awake Prone Positioning in Non-intubated Spontaneously Breathing COVID-19 Patients Requiring High Flow Oxygen Therapy in High Dependency Unit (HDU): An Observational Study.

Background And Aims: Prone positioning increases oxygenation by recruiting dorsal lung regions and draining airway secretions and improves gas exchange and survival in ARDS. We describe the efficacy of prone positioning in awake non-intubated spontaneously breathing COVID-19 positive patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure.

Methods: We studied 26 awake non-intubated spontaneously breathing patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure treated with prone positioning.

Is Electrocardiogram Helpful in Predicting a Rise in Troponin I as a Marker of Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity?

Objective: Screening patients on anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimens for the development of cardiotoxicity can be resource intensive. We therefore studied various traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters to correlate and possibly predict the development of elevated Troponin I as a surrogate marker of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

Materials And Methods: This was a single-centre prospective cohort study done between January 2014 to January 2016.
