Sir, Skin rashes have been associated with COVID-19 and studies suggest the inclusion of skin diseases in list symptoms. eruptions are also mRNA-1273 vaccine. Findings by Baden et al. [1] describe immediate injection-site reactions observed 84.2% participants after first dose, delayed onset reactions—on or day eight—occurring much more infrequently, 0.8% dose 0.2% second dose. Blumenthal [2] di...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound (US) guidance is advocated to reduce complications from thoracocentesis or intercostal catheter (ICC) insertion. Although imaging of the intercostal artery (ICA) with Doppler US has been reported, current thoracic guidelines do not advocate this, and bleeding from a lacerated ICA continues to be a rare but serious complication of thoracocentesis or ICC insertion. OBJECTI...

INTRODUCTION The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is an important point of anatomical reference in order to locate the frontal sinus and the skull base. Notwithstanding, despite numerous endoscopic studies in cadavers, we still lack an anatomical study on the AEA in the western population. AIM to determine reference points used to locate the artery, study its relationship with the skull base a...

This study examined the lymphatic drainage after injection of a radiotracer into the upper medial quadrant of the breast in healthy women. Most studies of lymphatic pathways of the breast have been performed in patients with breast cancer and concentrate on the upper lateral quadrant of the breast because of the high incidence of carcinoma at this site. The lymphatic drainage pathways of the me...

BACKGROUND Axillary lymph node status is an important staging and prognostic factor in breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of axilla fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in primary breast cancer without a palpable node and even without image characteristics of a metastatic node. METHODS From June 2008 to January 2012, 77 patients met the inclusion criteria of having rec...

The prime objectives for axillary dissection are staging and treatment to cure. No physical examination, no imaging techniques, and no tumor markers can replace axillary dissection for staging. Further, axillary node status in potentially curable breast carcinomas is still considered the single best predictor of outcome and the primary determinant of the use of systemic therapy. Finally, locore...
