Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma is a rare malignancy, with an incidence of 0.7% to 1.6%. Most cases of thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma are papillary carcinoma, with follicular carcinoma having been rarely reported. In this study, a 33-year-old man presented with a typical thyroglossal duct cyst and underwent surgical resection of the cyst, which was determined to be follicular carcinoma. We have reported this rare case to increase the awareness of such entities within the general otolaryngology and the community of head and neck surgeons, as well as among endocrine surgeons.

Background:Medication delivery via enteral feeding tube require a specific precaution. As many medications are incompatible to be administered via feeding tube. Some medications are not acceptable to be crushed owing to the risk of obstruct the feeding tube, diminish drug efficacy or drug toxicity. While others will interact with the feeding formula and limit its absorption. this study aims to evaluate the prevalence of medication errors that occur during the administration of oral drugs using enteral feeding tubes in geriatric population in home health care.MethodologyThis is a cross sectional observational study conducted in ministry of health governmental hospital in Makkah city, Saudi Arabia. Oral drug administration was examined in 46 individuals in 2020. Demographic information, medical records and pharmaceutical prescription information regarding each patient was evaluated. The errors including improper dosage form and drug-nutrient interaction were measured per various guidelines.Result:A significant proportion of investigated populations had inappropriate drug administration. The majority of patients (86.9 percent) got improper dosage form by enteral feeding tube mainly gastrointestinal medicines. While drug-nutrient interaction was prominent in 36.9 percent of the patients with highly prevalent among neurological medicines. All patients’ caregiver obtained guidance by doctors and nurses solely. Gender, age, hospital, Type of ET, and educator were not associated with significant differences in appropriateness of dosage form or administration time.Conclusion:health care practitioners should display greater attention when choosing drugs dosage type for tube-fed patients and medication administration timing.
