Self Injury

Objective Limited data exist on non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts among psychiatric patients in Korea. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics of patients who engaged in NSSI and/or suicide attempts.Methods We performed a retrospective medical chart review of patients with NSSI and/or suicide attempts at the psychiatric department of a university medical center in Seoul between 2017 and 2019. According to their history, patients were allocated to one of three groups: NSSI only, suicide attempts only and NSSI and suicide attempts group. Groups were compared based on sociodemographic characteristics and psychological assessments.Results Overall, 80 patients with NSSI and/or suicide attempts were evaluated. Patients with NSSI and suicide attempts were more likely to be female than the other two groups. Patients with NSSI and suicide attempts were more likely to suffer from Cluster B personality disorder than the other groups. And patients with NSSI and suicide attempts scored significantly higher on novelty-seeking in TCI and RC8, RC9 in MMPI-2.Conclusion Patients with NSSI and/or suicide attempts were more likely to be female, younger, and showed higher levels of psychological disturbances. These findings highlight the importance of early detection and intervention for patients with NSSI.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical characteristics of pediatric (under age 13) patients with exotropia in terms of deviation magnitude, frequency, associated systemic and ocular conditions, and treatment options. Methods: A retrospective chart review of pediatric patients with the diagnosis of exotropia, examined in the ophthalmology department of a children’s hospital over a one year period, was conducted. Results: The yield was 787 charts, of which 403 had complete data. The primary reason for examination was eye turn noted (68%). The most common systemic condition associated with exotropia with was attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (4%) and the most common ocular condition was retinopathy of prematurity (3%). The average deviation was 18.6 prism diopters at distance and 14.9 prism diopters at near. The majority of cases were managed by observation, followed by patching and surgery. Conclusions: Exotropia is a binocular condition that may exist in isolation or in association with systemic conditions. Most cases in this study involved intermittent deviations. Further studies, including longer periods of observation and treatment are needed to determine the natural course and most appropriate clinical management.

Introduction: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. This paper aimed to assess the stage, site, and treatment outcome among rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed from January 2011 to December 2017 of patients that presented to the Department of Pediatric Oncology, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, for the management of RMS. Data collection included clinical characteristics, staging, grouping, risk stratification, treatment plan, radiotherapy doses, and treatment outcome. Results: Among 24 subjects, there were a total of 13 (54.2%) males and 11 (45.8%) females. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 2.5 years (range: 0.75 - 17 years). The majority of the subjects (91.7%) were less than 10 years of age. The median follow-up time was 0.6 years. According to the Children's Oncology Group Classification, 4 (16.7%) subjects were classified as low risk, 14 (58.3%) subjects were rated as intermediate risk, and 6 (0.25%) subjects were stratified as high risk. The most common primary tumor site were genitourinary (62.5%) and abdomen/retroperitoneal (20.8%) regions. At the time of analysis, nine (37.5%) subjects had died because of the disease, twelve (50%) were alive with no evidence of disease, and one subject had a recurrence of disease and was alive. One subject had abandoned the therapy, and another was lost to follow-up. Conclusion: Patients with Rhabdomyosarcoma presented at the late stages of the disease, and it most frequently affected genitourinary and abdomen or retroperitoneal areas. Overall, Rhabdomyosarcoma was found to have a poor outcome to therapy.

AbstractObjectives:Haemangiomas do not develop as commonly in the sinonasal cavity, compared with other head and neck sites. The clinical characteristics of sinonasal cavity haemangiomas and the results for endoscopic resection have been addressed in the literature only briefly. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate these points.Materials and methods:A retrospective chart review was undertaken of 22 patients who had undergone endoscopic excision of sinonasal cavity haemangiomas, in order to define clinical characteristics and tumour control rates.Results and analysis:The most common presenting symptom was epistaxis. The most prevalent site was the inferior turbinate (45.5 per cent), followed by the maxillary sinus (18.2 per cent). No recurrence was observed in any patient.Conclusion:Although past studies have described external approach sinonasal surgery as the mainstay of treatment, our results imply that endoscopic excision of sinonasal haemangiomas yields excellent outcomes in terms of tumour control and safety.
