Last update to case: ostomy mostly healed although significantly smaller and will end up flat or inverted. Necrotic tissue is gone. Still detached but only shallowly, output is good. Surgeon told patient he did not think a revision would be necessary but that they could discuss that further after she completes chemo. Unknown when chemo will start since rectal incision is not healing well, I&D done 10 days ago has closed 1/2 way and stalled (she didn't want picture of this) Very poor intake.

The patient is a 64 yo female with newly diagnosed metastatic Colorectal carcinoma. She received first dose chemotherapy last week with Itinotecan, fluorouracil and leucovorin. Feels well without any side effects from chemo. Hgb 12.1 last week and is 12.4 today. Denies abdominal pain or diarrhea. Thoughts as to this clinical finding?

This is the update from that facial lac I did. Sutures were removed and the only problem area was in the middle laceration as I suspected. My biggest concern was that the small flap would scab up and not heal right ... However I am very pleased with how vermillion border is lined up! I think she will be very happy once it all heals...

Just a follow-up on my last case. She came in today (10 days later) for staple removal. Healing well. No signs of infection. Glad we decided to close it.

16 yo male. Scar revision for hypertrophic (painful) scar 2 years after port-a-cath removal for chemo. (Had radiation to brain and spine 3 years prior, may be reason for chest scar issues) Non-healing wound, referred for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) x 8 weeks. Last two pictures show result currently. Wound closed, but recurrence of hypertrophied scar. Using silicone strips. Any other suggestions?

Patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family, are there any features in this ECG that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric ECG?
