Published: August 2021

Facial soft tissue injury is a challenging and complex problem for the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon for cosmetic and functional reasons. This article will focus on the management of soft tissue injuries of the cheek, one of the most important presenting areas of the face. The cheek, like any other part of the face, is susceptible to several types of injury and any of these injuries have the potential to disfigure and debilitate. Knowledge of anatomical structures and wound healing principles is critical to devising an appropriate management plan and achieving superior patient outcomes in scar revision cases. Multiple techniques to improve long-term scarring from facial soft tissue injuries are available.

Ewing's sarcoma of the head and neck: differential diagnosis, treatment and outcomes.

Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

December 2024

Department of Radiodiagnosis, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, HBNI, Parel, Mumbai.

Purpose Of Review: Ewing's sarcoma is a small round-cell tumour typically arising in the bones, and only rarely affecting soft tissues. These are rarely seen in the head and neck comprising 1-9% of all cases, making management of these tumours a challenge. This review aims to review the current literature to update the current diagnostic and treatment options in head and neck Ewing's sarcoma.

For patients with nonmetastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who are at high risk of local recurrence, the standard of care for limb-conserving local management is combined radiotherapy and surgery. Radiotherapy for STS entails 5 weeks of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (25 × 2 Gy) preoperatively or 6 or more weeks postoperatively. There is growing interest in the use of preoperative hypofractionated regimes, viz.

Background: Leveraging non-invasive ultra-high field, 7 Tesla (7T) MRI, with increased signal-to-noise ratio and improved soft tissue contrast afforded by 7T allows us to accurately map tissue microstructure. We aim to use 7T MR Elastography (MRE), 7T Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), 3T amyloid-PET, and Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite (PACC) score to determine the relationships between these metrics in a cohort of older individuals with either normal cognition (CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Methods: 7T MRE, 7T DTI, 3T PET (Fig.
