Asthma Care from Home: Study protocol for an effectiveness-implementation evaluation of a virtually enabled asthma care initiative in children in rural NSW.

Background: Asthma is the leading source of unscheduled hospitalisation in Australian children, with a high burden placed upon children, their parents/families, and the healthcare system. In Australia, there are widening disparities in paediatric asthma care including inequitable access to comprehensive ongoing and planned asthma care for children.

Methods: The Asthma Care from Home Project is a comprehensive virtually enabled asthma model of care that aims to a.

Discordance between GCIG CA-125 progression and RECIST progression in the CALYPSO trial of patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.

Background: CA-125 alone is widely used to diagnose progressive disease (PD) in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC) on chemotherapy. However, there are increasing concerns regarding its accuracy. We assessed concordance between progression defined by CA-125 and RECIST using data from the CALYPSO trial.

Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis: A Benign Cause of Pneumoperitoneum.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is an uncommon condition where cyst-like locules of gas are present in the submucosa or subserosa of the gastrointestinal tract. The majority of cases are benign and are associated with drugs such as chemotherapy agents or conditions including chronic obstructive airways disease. We present the case of PCI resulting in pneumoperitoneum in a 72-year-old male patient on chemotherapy for esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Breast Radiation Recall Phenomenon After Astra-Zeneca COVID-19 Vaccine: A Case Series.

We report three cases of AstraZeneca vaccine (AZV)-induced radiation recall phenomenon (RRP) in three women who had previously undergone radiotherapy for breast cancer. RRP is a rare complication of vaccination that can mimic the more common pathology of breast cellulitis. Emergency physicians, primary care specialists, and surgeons should be aware of RRP when treating patients in the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) climate.

A case report of impacted fecalith within mucosal pouch: an unusual cause of colocolic intussusception.

Intussusception involving the colon is unusual in adults and when present is managed with resection due to the risk of malignancy. We present an unusual case where the intussusceptum was impacted stool in a mucosal pouch in the transverse colon. The patient presented with bleeding per rectum and abdominal pain and was found to have a colocolic intussusception on computed tomography.

Localized tracheobronchial amyloidosis: A rare case presentation and tailored management approaches.

Localized tracheobronchial amyloidosis (TBA) is a rare manifestation of pulmonary amyloid disease, and can result in central airway obstruction. The nature of presentation is variable and there may be a delayed diagnosis. TBA has a variable prognosis and the most commonly used strategy for management is airway recanalization.

A rare case of lobular breast cancer metastasizing to large bowel.

Lobular breast cancer metastasis to bowel is rare, however, when it occurs, the prognosis is poor. Possible benefits of investigation with screening endoscopy for gastrointestinal metastases are discussed in order to optimize prognosis for patients.
