This would ensure early and effective clinical interventions, which are essential for favorable outcomes.RATIONALE Breast metastasis from serous borderline tumor with micro-invasive carcinoma of ovary is a very rare condition. The breast lump as the only clinical presentation is rarely seen in ovarian carcinoma, which may lead to be misdiagnosed, and the mechanism of breast metastasis from ovarian tumors in early stage still needs to be explored. Differentiation from primary breast cancer and extramammary malignancy is crucial because the treatment and prognosis are significantly different. PATIENT CONCERNS A 33-year-old female presented with a painless, movable, 1.0 × 1.0 cm lump in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast for a month. DIAGNOSES Breast metastasis of serous borderline tumor with micro-invasive ovarian carcinoma confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent lumpectomy, bilateral ovarian tumor stripping operation and prophylactic chemotherapy. OUTCOMES No signs of recurrence have been detected in 1.5 years of follow-up. LESSONS Distant metastasis may occur in early stage of ovarian carcinoma. It is important to determine the origin of the primary tumor and develop an effective treatment strategy for patients. Imaging findings and pathological diagnostic criteria are important to accurately differentiate between metastasis and primary breast lesions, which may improve the patient's outcomes.INTRODUCTION The "logsplitter injury" is a special type of ankle fractures that results from high energy violence with combined rotational forces and axial loads. So far, the diagnose and treatment of "logsplitter injury" remain largely unsettled and related literature is rare. PATIENT CONCERNS An 18-year-old male fell from a fence and got his left ankle injured with severe malformation and swollen condition. No open wound was observed. DIAGNOSIS Logsplitter injury, ankle fracture (AO/OTA classification 44C1.1, Lauge-Hansen classification pronation-external rotation). INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES The patient was initially treated by internal fixation of fibular, repair of deltoid ligaments, and 1 syndesmotic screw fixation. When the X-ray applied after surgery, another 2 syndesmotic screws were performed to enhance stability. The syndesmotic screws were removed at 12-week and 16-week respectively. The patient was allowed for full weight-bearing immediately. However, the syndesmotic space was slightly increased compared to the contralateral side in CT views at 1-year follow-up, the function outcome was satisfied. CONCLUSION The logsplitter injury is a high-energy ankle fracture that requires both axial and rotational load. It is categorized as 44B or 44C by the AO/OTA classification. In the classification scheme of Lauge-Hansen, our case is in line with the pronation-external rotation classification. Anatomic reduction and fixation of ankle syndesmotic injuries are required to restore the biomechanics of the ankle joint so that long-term complications can be prevented. How to fixation the syndesmosis, whether to reconstruct the deltoid ligament remains in debate in the treatment of logsplitter injury, whether and when to remove the syndesmotic screws were still debated. Correct surgical intervention is successful in the treatment of "logsplitter injury", however, the optimal fixation of syndesmosis and repair of deltoid ligaments need further investigate.To examine the willingness to pay (WTP) for a quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained among advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in Viet Nam and to analyze the factors affecting an individual's WTP.A cross-sectional, contingent valuation study was conducted among 400 NSCLC patients across 6 national hospitals in Viet Nam. see more Self-reported information was recorded from patients regarding their socio-demographic status, EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 dimensions) utility, EQ-5D vas, and WTP for 1 QALY gained. To explore the factors related to the WTP, Gamma Generalized Linear Model and multiple logistic regression tools were applied to analyze data.The overall mean and median of WTP/QALY among the NSCLC patients were USD $11,301 and USD $8002, respectively. Strong association was recorded between WTP/QALY amount and the patient's education, economic status, comorbidity status, and health utility.Government and policymakers should consider providing financial supports to disadvantaged groups to improve their access to life saving cancer treatment.To introduce the use of a new surgical approach named single-incision bilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy (SBIH) in pediatric surgical population.This was a STROBE-compliant retrospective cohort study using data from 101 patients who had undergone bilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy in our institution. Children with bilateral inguinal hernias without contraindications for surgery, ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years, were included. Fifty-six children with bilateral inguinal hernias underwent SBIH (SBIH group) and 45 patients underwent laparoscopic bilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy (LBIH) (LBIH group). Differences in operative time, postoperative pain, recurrence, and complications between the 2 groups were analyzed. Patient satisfaction with cosmetic result was also investigated using questionnaires.There were no statistically significant differences in operative time (P = .2257), postoperative pain (P = .0607), recurrence (P = .8756), and complications (P = .7467) between the 2 groups. Interestingly, the operation time of girls in SBIH group was significantly shorter than that of the boys in this group (P  less then  .0001), but also shorter than that of girls in LBIH group (P = .0038). Postoperative pain for boys was lower in SBIH group than in the LBIH group (P = .0340). No ascending testis, testicular atrophy, and hydrocele occurred in either group. According to the questionnaire, both procedures had equally high levels of satisfaction for cosmetic results (P = .7531).Initial results show that SBIH for pediatric patients, regardless of gender, is a safe and feasible procedure compared with LBIH with an equally low recurrence rate, few complication, and satisfactory cosmetic outcomes.
