Abstract Background The National Bowel Screening Program (Bowelscreen), a nationwide initiative program, aims to provide direct access those aged 55-74 (currently 59-69) for colonoscopy assessment deemed high risk colorectal cancer via positive faecal immunochemical test (FIT). Inflammatory Disease (IBD) follows bimodal distribution of onset with European studies reporting 10-15% diagnosis after age 60. Limited published research exists on IBD incidence in Ireland FIT-based population...
Abstract Background A significant number of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) undergo surgery resulting in a stoma. For many, an ostomy is not curative. Patients may continue to experience disease exacerbations and require continued medical therapies. Despite this, IBD stomas are excluded from clinical trials, largely due the heterogeneity outcomes lack validated measurement tools for this cohort. The TOAST-IBD project aimed address issue by developing Core Outcome Set (COS)...
This study was undertaken to assess if prolonged paclitaxel administration in combination with cisplatin improves overall survival (OS) epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Eligible patients suboptimal stage III or IV EOC, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal were randomly allocated receive six cycles of 75 mg/m2 and either 135 during 24 hours (arm 1) 120 96 2).Planned accrual 324 patients; 293 enrolled before the closed as a result scheduled interim futility analysis. There 13 ineligible thus, 140...
We report a case of malignant pilomatrixoma with pronounced biphenotypic morphology. The lesion, which was excised from the cheek 36-year-old man, composed large lying within spindled, sarcomatoid stroma. Fourteen months later, tumor metastasized to right upper lobe lung. describe tumor's pathology, histology, and immunochemistry discuss differential diagnosis. also speculate on its histogenesis.
Inverted papilloma is a benign neoplasm confined almost exclusively to the sinonasal tract. We present first known case report of an inverted arising from middle ear. In this paper we discuss pathophysiology and review literature interesting clinical entity.
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare clinical entity. Two large review series found only five cases out total 8351 malignancies. This case report presents patient with metaplastic, pseudoangiosarcomatous or acantholytic variant breast. diagnosis was based on histological finding highly atypical, cells. Because tumor stained positive for keratin and negative factor VIII, angiosarcoma ruled out. Although scattered reports have been published this variant, these tumors tend...
Fifteen consecutive patients with acute arthritis were studied. Careful culture and microscopy of swabs from mucosal sites performed to examine the hypothesis that tropical polyarthritis commonly seen in Zimbabwe is due undiagnosed gonococcal infection. Rheumatic fever Reiter9s disease accounted for two cases each. Gram negative intracellular diplococci found three who would otherwise have been diagnosed as having polyarthritis. Except remaining eight patients, had raised anti-streptolysin O...
Leiomyosarcoma of the colon is a rare malignancy. We report case 33-year-old woman with leiomyosarcoma occurring as an intussusception 30 years after receiving abdominal irradiation for Wilms’ tumor. A review prior and current treatment tumor discussed, well association between second malignancies irradiation. usually presents in fifth sixth decades life more common men. The most symptom pain. Ninety per cent are diagnosed at surgery bleeding, perforation, or obstruction. Surgery remains...
<h3>Background</h3> Biologic medications are effective treatments for inflammatory arthritis, however they expensive, costing around €15,000 per patient year, or 5% of the annual healthcare budget in Ireland. Measures to reduce this cost without sacrificing efficacy safety important. Studies switching patients cheaper approved biosimilar products few. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate and Infliximab adult with arthritis switched from reference product our centre. <h3>Methods</h3> In April 2014...
Abstract Background Medication adherence is important in ensuring adequate treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The High Tech Hub (HTH) an online system used Ireland to prescribe and monitor the ordering High-Tech Medication, specifically oral small molecules subcutaneously-delivered biologics. We aimed observe compliance rates our centre, trends between different medication identify factors associated with adherence. Methods extracted prescribing dispensing information from HTH...
Abstract Background Histological assessment is not currently recognised as an independent parameter to guide personalised treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The development of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Distribution, Chronicity, Activity (IBD-DCA) score allows a pragmatic approach quantitatively evaluate mucosal injury and healing in UC, compared other pre-existing histological scores (Lang-Schwarz et al., J Crohns Colitis, 2021). This scoring system facilitates...
Aims To compare the performance of expert endoscopists, trainee endoscopists and CADx in characterising colonic polyps.
ObjectiveQuantify the scale and type of maternal substance use from conception to child’s second birthday (First 1000 days) inform screening support services that may reduce associated harm or risk for children. ApproachWe used mother child records whole-population health, death, protection datasets ascertain during First days children born in NSW, Australia, 2008-2017. The primary outcome - included illicit substances, alcohol, opioid-agonist treatment, organic compounds, solvents, misuse...
Between April 1983 and December 1990, 387 newly diagnosed cervical cancer cases were managed at our institution. We retrospectively reviewed 59 of those cases, which identified as having developed within 3 years the patients' last normal Pap smear. Squamous cell carcinoma was found in 45 patients, 33 had poorly differentiated lesions. Six typical histology. However, 27 (82%) distinctive histologic features that have not been previously described rapidly progressive cancer. Thirty-seven...
