88% were women with an average age of 44 years. The diagnosis of a glomus tumor is based on the triad of symptoms: pain at rest, pain from direct pressure, and intolerance to temperature changes. Provocation Signs: 1. Love’s pin test (direct pressure of a round pin head causing pain), 2. Hildreth’s test (applying a tourniquet to the base of the digit which decreases pain), 3. Cold sensitivity (placing the digit in cold water causing increased pain) Due to the low prevalence of the tumor, the mean duration of diagnosis and treatment is 5–10 years. Although the diagnosis is based on clinical findings, an MRI is useful in identifying the exact location and size of a tumor Treatment: recommended surgery based upon clinical findings, even if the MRI was negative. Either: nail removal or a lateral approach Most recently, Roan et al. have proposed a split nail technique of excision that leaves the nail and nail bed intact. A small incision is made through the nail directly above the tumor and excision is performed. The nail is then closed with suture and the nail bed and cuticle are left untouched, resulting in an improved cosmetic result D/D subungual lesion 1. Squamous cell Carcinoma: SCC is the most common primary neoplasm of the hand and subungual area. It accounts for approximately 90 % of all malignancies involving the hand. In the subunqual region, SCC is a slow-growing tumor with a variable presentation. As a result, SCC is often misdiagnosed. The time between the initial presentation and diagnosis averages 24–25 months. It occurs more frequently in men after the fifth decade of life. It is typically limited to a single digit involvement. Potential etiologies include ultraviolet radiation, human papillomavirus infections, HIV and epidermal dysplasia

Having the time to do the assessment accurately Lack of knowledge/experience with pain assessment Lack of appreciation for the importance of pain assessment Not taking time to understand the underlying causes of pain; taking time to understand the patient/resident history, diagnoses Taking time to know the resident/patient Taking time to know what the resident/patient wants as far as comfort level Timing of assessment is important. Assessment Tool Design: MDS assessment tool is not telling of how the overall pain. Question working tends to capture momentary and brief pain rather than average/overall pain making appropriate pain management more challenging. What is the worst pain you have had in the last 5 days? If the resident says “10”, it is recorded and this is not reflective of their average pain. expectations/wishes related to comfort level Have a process in place to provide consistency in timing of assessments. First thing in morning and after therapy not effective; be aware of possible sundowning effect for some residents/patients in late afternoon/evening. Pain scales laminated and placed in resident/patient and on med carts Initial and on-going education for staff on how to effectively conduct an assessment and the importance of a good pain assessment. Have clear processes in place and accessible to staff for conducting assessments. Have processes in place to reinforce education and conduct observations of the application of practices to check for drift in behavior and provide real-time staff coaching Recognize staff effectively implementing key practices Assessment Tool Design: Add note in MDS about the discrepancy of average pain vs. brief momentary pain Ideally - reword the MDS to say, “What would you say your pain has been on average……” Dementia Difficult to assess pain in patients/residents with cognitive impairments May not be able to express in that they have pain, where it is located, and the intensity Have process in to gather resident/patient diagnosis, history, family perceptions; identify life losses, comfort habits, etc. Have a process in place to gather information and perceptions from CNAs Participants have found the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia
drugs would adversely affect the procedures, results, or interpretation of the teaching, research, experiments, surgery, or tests. Category E includes animals that experience pain & distress related to ACUP activities that are not relieved with timely and appropriate treatments such as anesthetics, analgesics, medications, refinements, monitoring, or euthanasia. Category E also includes animals that are maintained in a morbid state without treatment or relief for a period of time in order to reach a later endpoint. Descriptions of Category E activities must include enough detail for a layperson to recognize the cause of pain or distress and understand the associated scientific justification for allowing that condition. Descriptions of Category E activities that are mandated by federal regulations must provide a full explanation as stated above, and include a reference to the agency and specific mandate that applies. Examples: Toxicological or infectious testing/research that results in persistent, moderate-to-severe clinical alterations; experience of noxious stimulation that an animal cannot avoid or escape; exposure to extreme environmental conditions; induced paralysis of a conscious animal; engineered phenotype that causes unalleviated pain/distress; prey in predator/prey studies; death as an experimental endpoint; clinical disease allowed to progress to moribundity; LD50 studies; etc.
What has the Paired Learning programme looked like for you? And specifically: How/why did you choose your Paired Learning partner/colleague? What activities did you take part in together? How often did you meet or communicate with each other? Were there any barriers to participating in the programme? Take some time to about the impact of the programme on you, in terms of: What knowledge and/or skills have you gained through the programme? How your attitudes towards your partner’s professional group have changed as a result of the programme. How your behaviour towards your partner’s professional group has changed in the workplace. Identifying what the outcomes have been, as a result of the projects you have collaborated on, for the service provided to patients in your organisation. What do you think are the key benefits of paired learning for your organisation? Appendix N: Evaluation: Interviewee consent form Purpose The purpose of this ‘research’ is to evaluate your paired learning programme as an approach to e.g. clinical and management development. The research is being conducted by your organisation < complete as required>. The data collected may also be submitted to the London Leading for Health Partnership (located in Stewart 32 Russell Square, London WC1B 5DN) who can add it onto their knowledge base on paired learning. This data can then be compared with other similar paired learning programmes data, involving identical or similar professional groups, as well as sharing it with other NHS organisations in the London region. What you will be asked to do in the research You will be asked to participate in a semi-structured one-to-one interview with your locally nominated programme lead – and you will be asked a number of questions about your experience of the paired learning programme which have been provided to you in advance of the interview. You might also be asked to complete an online questionnaire. Risks and Discomfort The researcher does not foresee any risks or discomfort that will arise from participation in the study. Voluntary Participation Whilst contributing to the knowledge base on paired learning is voluntary, we would encourage you to complete it so that it can be fed into your own organisation’s knowledge around paired learning and to provide robust evidence for your organisation’s senior management. However, you have the right to end the interview at any and to withdraw your data from the study at any point without having to give a reason.

Differences Between Benign and Malignant Tumors The biological and medical consequences of a tumor are highly dependent on whether it is benign or malignant. Listed is a comparison of the primary differences between benign and malignant tumor Common Sites for Cancer Cancer can occur in virtually any tissue or organ. Some cells and tissues are more likely to become cancerous than others are, particularly those cells that normally undergo proliferation are. Those cells that don't proliferate (e.g., neurons and heart muscle cells) rarely give rise to cancers. The following table illustrates the most frequent occurrence of cancers in various body sites. While the prostate is the most common type of cancer that occurs in men, most survive with treatment. In contrast, other types of cancer are more often fatal. For example, the most common cancer, which causes death in men (even with treatment), is lung cancer (33% of cancer deaths in men). With women, a similar situation exists in that the breast is the most common site for cancer but more women also die as the result of lung cancer (23% of cancer deaths in women). What do Cancers Look Like? Cancer is a general term for more than 100 different cellular diseases, all with the same characteristic - the uncontrolled abnormal growth of cells in different parts of the body. Cancers appear in many forms. A few types are visible to the unaided eye but others grow inside the body (unbeknown to the affected person) and slowly eat away or replace internal tissues. An example of a cancer that can be easily seen by the unaided eye is skin cancer. Skin cancers appear as raised, usually dark-colored,

been executed. Others get encouraged by such tactics and they also pursue the same path. Most of the litigation in Pakistani court system arises from the disputes on land, residential or commercial property. A large number of projects are either delayed or abandoned as the potential investors find themselves entangled in cases filed by those illegally occupying their land or property against the legitimate owners. Weak and unclear title deeds, loopholes in registration procedures and unreliable transfer mechanisms have encouraged the propensity for unnecessary litigation. In large urban areas, organized land mafias have taken illegal possession of large tracts of state and private land parcels. Building Control Authorities such as CDA, LDA and KBCA have become hubs of corruption where lower functionaries would create hurdles at every stage of construction and won’t issue the Building Completion Certificates unless they are paid huge sums as illegal gratification. Multi billion dollars worth of investment is stuck and has become illiquid because of these factors. Finally, most of the problems in the operation of the Public Sector enterprises arise due to widespread favoritism and nepotism in the appointments of the Chief Executives and the Boards. The process of their appointment is highly opaqe and depends upon the whims of the Prime Minister or the Chief Minister who enjoy enormous discretionary powers. These powers have been mis-utilized to favor the cronies of the rulers. To avoid this tendency and introduce transparency the Chief Executives (CEOs) and the Board of Directors for 100 key economic institutions, organizations and corporations should be appointed for a fixed tenure in a clearly defined process. Once appointed they cannot be arbitrarily removed without cogent reasons. These appointments should be placed and endorsed by the Parliamentary Committees and the removal can be challenged in the higher courts of law if done with malafide. These CEOs should be given specific targets and held accountable for results. The Annual Reports of their performance and financial statements should be submitted to the Parliament and made public. Those who consistently fail to meet agreed performance goals without any justifiable reasons should be taken to task.
