Data Reporting and Recording01:24

Data Reporting and Recording

5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Reporter Genes02:11

Reporter Genes

13.3K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting

3.1K
Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...

Summary

A rare case of breast sparganosis was diagnosed in a Korean woman presenting with a breast mass. Surgical removal of the 30-cm tapeworm revealed the parasitic infection, highlighting the need for awareness in endemic regions.

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Sparganosis is a parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae.
  • It is endemic in Asian countries, often linked to dietary practices involving raw or undercooked intermediate hosts.
  • Breast sparganosis is an uncommon presentation of this parasitic infection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of breast sparganosis in a Korean patient.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and imaging findings associated with parasitic breast masses.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering sparganosis in patients from endemic areas with breast lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A 57-year-old female patient presented with a palpable left breast mass.
  • Diagnostic imaging included mammography and ultrasonography, revealing complex tubular masses.
  • Surgical lumpectomy was performed for diagnosis and treatment, followed by antiparasitic medication.

Main Results:

  • A 30-cm live tapeworm (sparganum) was found during lumpectomy.
  • Histopathology confirmed chronic granulomatous inflammation and eosinophilic infiltration consistent with parasitic infection.
  • The patient received praziquantel and albendazole post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Breast sparganosis can mimic malignant or other benign breast lesions on imaging.
  • Dietary customs in endemic regions like Korea contribute to the risk of sparganosis.
  • Clinicians should consider sparganosis in the differential diagnosis of breast masses, especially in patients from endemic areas.
