Skin Cancer: Detection and Prevention
Skin cancer detection and prevention are paramount due to the rising incidence of this potentially life-threatening condition, particularly with increasing sun exposure and tanning trends. Regular skin self-examinations can aid in the early detection of suspicious lesions, prompting timely medical evaluation and intervention. Sun safety practices, including wearing protective clothing, seeking shade, and using broad-spectrum sunscreen, are essential in minimizing UV radiation exposure and reducing skin cancer risk. Educating individuals about the ABCDEs of melanoma (Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than 6mm, Evolution) facilitates the recognition of concerning moles or lesions. Routine skin cancer screenings by dermatologists are recommended, especially for individuals with a history of sunburns, fair skin, or family history of skin cancer. Emphasizing the importance of sun protection behaviors from childhood onwards can instill lifelong habits that help prevent skin cancer development.

Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
