Article Synopsis
  • The erector spinae plane (ESP) block has become popular but its diffusion toward the paravertebral area is unpredictable; researchers evaluated dye diffusion patterns in human cadavers to clarify this.
  • In an experiment with six cadavers, different dyes were injected using an ultrasound technique at the thoracic vertebrae, with evaluations conducted to see how far the dye spread in surrounding areas.
  • Results showed that dye from the ESP injection spread only to the dorsal area and not to the paravertebral space, while the inter-ligament space injection allowed for extensive dye spread both anteriorly and posteriorly, suggesting it could be a more effective approach.

Background: Novel interfascial plane blocks like PEricapsular Nerve Group (PENG) and SupraInguinal Fascia Iliaca (SIFI) blocks are effective for management of hip fracture pain. We compared the difference in the distribution of the dye injected and nerves stained by the addition of the SIFI block to the PENG block.

Methods: A total of 24 designated dye injections were performed in eight soft-embalmed cadavers.

Article Synopsis
  • The HER2-negative subset of metastatic breast cancers is diverse, including both hormone receptor-positive and hormone receptor-negative (triple-negative) cancers, each presenting unique treatment challenges.
  • Endocrine therapy remains the primary treatment for HR-positive cases, but around 40% of patients develop resistance, complicating effective management.
  • New treatments like CDK 4/6 inhibitors and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), especially for BRCA-mutated cases, are showing promise and ongoing trials aim to expand effective options for HER2-negative breast cancer.

More than 50% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases harbor an actionable mutation, and molecular testing at different intervals can help in personalized and targeted treatment. Core tissue biopsy and needle biopsy done at the time of diagnosis/disease progression are interventional, time-consuming and can affect the patients adversely. Noninterventional biomarker testing by liquid biopsy promises to revolutionize advanced stage cancer screening.

Introduction: Myositis ossificans circumscripta is a benign non neoplastic ossifying tumor presenting with bone like osteoid tissue extraskelletaly amidst the muscle planes. This condition when not associated with trauma is very trivial and considering the way it mimics certain characteristics, it may be misunderstood as a malignant neoplasm, abscess or antibioma. The aetiology of this atraumatic condition is still indistinct and remains a question unsolved.

Bone scintiscanning in osteolytic lesions.

Osteolytic lesions seen on plain radiographs can be caused by various disorders of the bones such as simple bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst, plasmacytoma, giant cell tumor, eosinophilic granuloma and tuberculosis. We studied prospectively Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate bone scan findings in osteolytic lesions seen radiologically and followed them to histopathology. Interestingly, the scans in these patients helped to show if the lesions were monoostotic or polyostotic and, in some cases, ruled out malignant or infective etiology.
