Lung cancer is most often located in the right upper lobe and is called a Pancoast tumor. On many occasions, the Pancoast tumor begins with osteomyoarticular manifestations. A 72-year-old white male patient of peasant origin is presented who attends the Guard Corps because for a few weeks an increase in volume has been noted on the back of the right hand accompanied by pain in the absence of trauma. An X-ray of the hand was performed, observing osteolysis of the carpal bones, in the preoperative preparation a chest X-ray was performed where an image of condensation of the upper lobe of the right lung was observed. An excisional biopsy of the carpal lesion was performed, the result of which was metastasis of highly undifferentiated lung adenocarcinoma.
Sudden death is probably the most important challenge of modern cardiology. Not only because of the large number of deaths it causes, but also because of the social impact it causes. It is currently a major public health problem worldwide. The objective of this study is to present a near-clinic of sudden death in a 14-yearold female patient with a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and corset use due to scoliosis who was brought to the emergency room after having suffered a sudden loss of consciousness. In the emergency room, cardiorespiratory arrest is diagnosed and cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed immediately, not recovering the patient. The enormous challenge posed by the SDC in this century, justified by an increase in the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in the coming decades worldwide, makes it necessary to review the current approaches in its approach.
Osteoarthrosis is a degenerative joint condition characterized by progressive loss of joint cartilage. The knee joint is one of the most affected by this disease. Although there are different procedures for the surgical treatment of this pathology, fibular ostectomy in recent years is giving very good results. Although this surgical technique does not eliminate osteoarthritis of the knee, it does improve the symptoms and functional disability of the joint. Fibula Ostectomy is a palliative treatment of choice in knee osteoarthritis.
