New guidelines for resuscitating children recommended
Two new clinical studies used CT to determine that European guidelines for setting the depth of chest compression when resuscitating children may be more accurate than those followed in the U.S. The U.S. guidelines actually could lead to injury in children, researchers say.

NY Times story claims treatment errors at VA brachytherapy unit
A U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital in Philadelphia has botched more than 75% of the prostate cancer brachytherapy procedures it has performed in recent years and, until recently, largely avoided clinical or regulatory oversight, according to an article published June 21 in the New York Times.

Active thyroid surveillance effective, beneficial for older patients
A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with ER-positive (Allred score 8) ILC in her right breast. Ultrasound and MRI found prominent lymph nodes in right axillary level I area, diagnosed as metastasis on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. F-18 FES-PET/CT showed a positive mass in right breast (white arrow; SUVmax, 5.6) and multiple F-18 FES–positive lymph nodes in right axillary level I, II, and II/III junction areas (red arrows; SUVmax, up to 12.2). In addition, a small F-18 FES-positive lymph node was observed in the right second internal mammary area (red circles; SUVmax, 1.8). However, biopsy could not be performed because it was too small and not visible on ultrasound; the clinician decided to include internal mammary lymph node in treatment field for adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient underwent lumpectomy with ALN dissection, with five metastases being identified in 13 lymph nodes dissected, and is scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy.
