Primary intraosseous salivary gland tumors of the mandible are rare, with mucopidermoid carcinoma being the most frequent, followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). We present a case of a central ACC involving the mandible of a 46-year-old man. He presented an indurated swelling on the vestibular aspect of the left mandibular body and ipsilateral paraesthesia of the lower lip. A panoramic radiography revealed a large radiolucent area, with irregular margins, involving the body and ramus of the left mandible, and CT scan confirmed that the lesion was confined within the mandibular bone. The histopathological features were of an ACC. CT scan also revealed multiple nodular lesions in both lungs suggestive of metastases. The patient was surgically treated by hemi-mandibulectomy. The patient is well with no evidences of recurrences in the mandible. The present case shows that the clinical and immunohistochemical profile of primary intraosseous ACC is similar to what is found in ACC involving the salivary glands.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare proliferative disorder of histiocytes, and primary solitary RDD of the bone is extremely rare. Some RDDs exhibit increased immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 positive (IgG4+) plasma cell infiltration and the histopathological features of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). However, the association between RDD and IgG4-RD remains unclear.

To date, pagetoid spread-the proliferation of pagetoid cells in intraepidermal lesions, as observed in secondary extramammary Paget's disease-has not been reported in squamous epithelium derived from the extension of head and neck carcinomas. Herein, we report a case of pagetoid squamous cell proliferation associated with a primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) arising in the periapical lesion of the maxilla, a finding not reported previously. A 60-year-old man presented with prostate adenocarcinoma and bilateral pubic bone, ilium bone, and sacral bone metastases.

Article Synopsis
  • Vertebrogenic pain, often linked to damage in vertebral endplates, is transmitted through the basivertebral nerve (BVN) and is associated with Modic changes visible on MRI.
  • A five-year follow-up of three clinical trials assessing intraosseous radiofrequency ablation (BVNA) shows significant pain and functional improvement in patients with chronic low back pain.
  • Out of 320 participants, 249 (78%) completed the study, revealing major reductions in pain scores and enhancements in disability index, demonstrating BVNA as an effective treatment option.

Intraosseous and intravenous vascular access during adult cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Resuscitation

December 2024

Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark; Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.

Objective: To summarise evidence on the clinical effectiveness of initial vascular attempts via the intraosseous route compared to the intravenous route in adult cardiac arrest.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE and Embase (OVID platform), the Cochrane library, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform from inception to September 4th 2024 for randomised clinical trials comparing the intraosseous route with the intravenous route in adult cardiac arrest. Our primary outcome was 30-day survival.

Conventional versus task-based package organization for out-of-hospital emergency kits: an emergency medical services simulation study.

Medical University of Vienna, Department of Anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Medicine, Division of General Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Spitalgasse 23, 1090, Vienna, Austria.

Background: Emergency Medical Service crews are equipped with comprehensive emergency kits for routine care and to provide life-saving interventions in severely ill patients. While guidelines on contents and packing strategies of emergency kits for specific tasks and specialized situations exist, data for the design of out-of-hospital emergency kits in a general urban population is lacking. It may be possible to transfer the promising results of modern in-hospital packing strategies such as task-based package organization (TPO) to an Emergency Medical Service setting.
