Presentation
BACKGROUND: The present study was undertaken to analyze the pattern, presentation and management of peripheral vascular injuries due to road traffic accidents (RTA). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
-
Contusion
The results also suggest that a 50% probability of contusions corresponds to CSDM value of 48% at strain levels of 0.2, and the 50% probability of contusions corresponds to a DDM value of 6.7%. Copyright 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A number of physical injuries can commonly result from the blunt force trauma caused by a collision, ranging from bruising and contusions to catastrophic physical injury (e.g., paralysis) or death. A 1985 study by K. [en.wikipedia.org]

Knee Pain
The patient felt the knee pain alleviated after surgery However, the joint dysfunction was aggravated even more. The patient used the legal procedure for personal compensation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Left Shoulder Pain
A 38- year-old male with left shoulder pain, scapular deviation and weakness in the left upper extremity, whose symptoms developed over a two-year period following a traffic accident, is presented herein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Metastatic workup showed no nodal or distant spread, T1N0M0 stage I. After orchiectomy, the patient underwent adjuvant external beam radiotherapy to the para-aortic nodes. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Splenogonadal fusion in a 29-year-old man with a painless, palpable left testicular mass, found during workup for infertility. [pubs.rsna.org]
PET scanning is not usually part of the initial workup but may be useful in tracking activity and growth in residual masses following definitive chemotherapy. [9] [3] [10] [11] Several laboratory values may be useful in following tumor burdens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
X-Ray
-
Pneumoperitoneum
The leading cause of surgical pneumoperitoneum is hollow viscus perforation, which accounts for approximately 90% of cases. A nonsurgical etiology may account for up to about 10% of the causes of pneumoperitoneum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other ECG Findings
-
Ischemic Changes
Furthermore, ischemic changes, shrinkage or loss of neurons, were seen in hippocampus, and swelling of astrocytes in both cortex and hippocampus were also observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
[…] on arrival, treatment, duration of hospitalization before death, challenges, and postmortem findings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In additional to history, clinical manifestation, and prognosis, evaluating the distribution of hypointense lesions in susceptibility-weighted imaging could be useful to differentiate these 2 conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Prognosis is good but depends on the stage of disease with 5- year survival rates as high as 99% in stage 1 disease. [orpha.net]
Unknown status NCT00004219 Phase 3 granisetron hydrochloride;lerisetron 2 Trial of Imaging and Schedule in Seminoma Testis Unknown status NCT00589537 Phase 3 3 Randomized Phase II/III Study of Taxol/Paclitaxel-BEP Versus BEP in Patients With Intermediate Prognosis [malacards.org]
Excellent prognosis with 95% cure rate for stage I and II. Main differential diagnosis: (other GCTs that can have solid growth) Embryonal carcinoma: exhibits cellular pleomorphism and nuclear overlap, CD30 and keratin . [auanet.org]
Prognosis is good for all stages with greater than 90% cure rate. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology
This pattern of etiologic factors is in accordance with data from most developing countries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Etiology is unknown but tumors are thought to arise from an embryonic germ cell leading to testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (the precursor to classical seminoma). [orpha.net]
Etiology Based on the presumed origin of spermatocytic seminoma from mature (postpubertal) germ cells, it has been hypothesised that the increased proliferation of these cells causes the growth of the tumours, but the etiology has long been unknown. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
Epidemiology
This paper presents a literature review of epidemiological data relevant to traffic accidents of children, including their personality and behavioral predisposition, social factors, association with risk taking behavior, rehabilitation, and incidence [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
[…] primary to extragonadal sites (such as pineal gland) ICD coding ICD-10: C62.90 - malignant neoplasm of unspecified testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended ICD0: 9061/3 - seminoma, NOS Epidemiology Male, age 30 - 49 Rare in 70 or 20 years Pathophysiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
Published August 22, 2019 Update on the Pathophysiology and Risk Factors for the Development of Malignant Testicular Germ Cell Tumors in Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. [urotoday.com]
The overall prevalence of seminoma generally increases with age. [8] Pathophysiology Testicular seminoma originates in the germinal epithelium of the seminiferous tubules. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology Testicular seminoma is a pathologic diagnosis in which only seminomatous elements are observed upon histopathologic review after a radical orchiectomy and in which serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is within the reference range. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Occupational exposure history and workplace environmental sanitation are crucial for the prevention of this potentially fatal yet preventable infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
