Abstract

Thoracic fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign, osseous chest wall tumor. It originates from bone marrow and accounts for 30–50% of all benign osseous neoplasms in the chest wall. In FD, normal bone marrow is replaced by fibrous stroma and immature bone. We present a rare case in which massive intrathoracic polyostotic FD originating from the rib was diagnosed and treated. The extrathoracic part of the tumor appeared stable and unalarming for decades; however, in hindsight, the intrathoracic part significantly progressed, eventually leading to symptoms. The tumor was removed through a hemi-clamshell approach, which allowed adequate visualization and control of mediastinal structures. After establishing the diagnosis of FD, regular follow-up imaging is crucial for timing of a surgical intervention to prevent symptoms, impairment of quality of life, and unnecessarily complex resections.

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the main causes of discount between list price and forced sale value in the Italian real estate auction segment, in favor of more comprehensive determination of the value of mortgage underlying guarantees; this would allow for an improvement of further valorization processes of assets intended to obtain a higher selling price.

Abstract

Aim: Identification and synthesis of research data related to the roles and competencies of physicians and nurses that are prerequisites for careful shared decision‐making with patients potentially undergoing cardiac surgery. Design: A scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology for scoping reviews and the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and CINAHL were searched from inception dates up to March 2022, to identify primary studies published in a peer‐reviewed journal. Study selection, assessment of the methodological quality and data extracting of the included studies were done by at least two independent researchers. To describe the findings of the studies, an emergent synthesis approach was used to visualize a descriptive representation of professional roles and competencies in shared decision‐making, in an overview. Results: The systematic search revealed 10,055 potential papers, 8873 articles were screened on title and abstract and 76 full texts were retrieved. Eight articles were included for final evaluation. For nurses and physicians, 26 different skills were identified in the literature to practice shared decision‐making in cardiac surgery. The skills that emerged were divided into five professional roles: moderator; health educator; data collector; psychological supporter and translator. Conclusions: This review specifies the professional roles and required competencies related to shared decision‐making in cardiac surgery. Further research is needed to compare our findings with other clinical areas and from there to arrive at a professional division of roles between the different clinical disciplines involved. Impact: The visualization of generic shared decision‐making competencies and roles should establish the professional division of positions between various clinical physician and nurse disciplines in order to create a treatment plan based on evidence, values, preferences and the patient's personal situation. Patient or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Congenital kyphoscoliosis due to hemivertebra is generally treated surgically because of high risk of curve progression and high risk of nervous system complications. Modern posterior access surgical techniques, including total hemivertebra resection, can completely correct deformity without additional anterior access surgeries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate midterm results of hemivertebra resection and spinal arthrodesis; the hypothesis was that it is a safe, effective, and reproducible procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2006 to 2019, hemivertebra resection and instrumented spinal arthrodesis with pedicle screws was performed on 82 patients with congenital vertebral deformities (62 scoliosis and 20 kyphoscoliosis) by posterior approach. Mean age at surgery was 8.6 years, and 22 patients were under 10 years of age. After stabilization patients have been braced for a period from 3 to 5 months. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 9.6 years (range 1.2–12.8 years); mean kyphosis curve after surgery was reduced to 20° Cobb; and mean scoliosis curve was reduced to 11° Cobb. We experienced no major complications (postsurgical infection, instrumentation failure, severe neurological impairment, severe blood loss) at latest follow-up . CONCLUSION: We strongly advocate one-time posterior hemivertebra resection and arthrodesis as the most suitable surgical procedure for congenital scoliosis due to hemivertebra. Posterior approach interventions with pedicle screws instrumentation are less invasive than combined anterior-posterior approach interventions. We think that posterior approach procedures can lead to excellent deformity correction in both frontal and sagittal views, optimal stability, and low risk of nervous injury. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Congenital scoliosis treatment is one of the most challeging conditions a spine surgeon has to face. We advocate that a one-stage posterior approach for hemivertebrectomy and fusion is a reliable, safe tachnique, whom excellent results remain stable at a mid/long-term follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.
