Summary
Hepatic parasitosis can cause benign solid liver tumors. Surgical resection, preceded by portal vein embolization, successfully treated a patient with these rare tumors.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Parasitology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Benign solid liver tumors encompass diverse lesions.
- Hepatic parasitosis is an uncommon cause of these tumors.
Observation:
- A 60-year-old male presented with jaundice and multiple solid liver tumors.
- Diagnostic tests could not rule out malignancy.
- Pre-operative interventions included hepatic volumetry and right portal vein embolization.
Findings:
- The patient underwent right hepatectomy and segment IVa resection.
- Post-operative recovery was positive, with jaundice resolution.
- Pathology confirmed the lesions were due to hepatic parasitosis.
Implications:
- It is crucial to exclude malignant etiologies in solid liver tumors.
- Surgical resection is indicated when malignancy is suspected or symptoms persist.
- Pre-operative planning, including hepatic volumetry and embolization, optimizes surgical outcomes.

Self-presentation is a fundamental aspect of social interaction, shaping both how others perceive individuals and how they view themselves. This dynamic process influences behaviors in various social settings, often leading people to adjust their appearance, speech, and demeanor to align with their desired identity.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Strategic self-presentation refers to individuals' intentional efforts to influence how others perceive them. This process is employed in various social and professional settings, such as job interviews, dating, politics, and legal contexts, where individuals seek to shape impressions to gain social or material advantages. While people generally present themselves in ways that align with their authentic characteristics, external factors, such as cognitive load, can hinder their ability to...

01:21Antipsychotic Drugs: Typical and Atypical Agents
874
Antipsychotic drugs are classified into first-generation (typical) drugs including phenothiazines; and second-generation (atypical) drugs. Chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Thorazine), a phenothiazine derivative, broadly impacts the central, autonomic, and endocrine systems. This drug, along with typical agents like haloperidol (Haldol), primarily works by antagonizing D2 receptors, thus reducing dopaminergic neurotransmission. However, typical antipsychotics can cause side effects such as sedation...

01:17Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification
192
Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...
