Disability, Identity and Impact of Impairments on The Survivors of Road Traffic Injuries (RTIs)
(UNIMAS Publisher, 2026) Juna Liau; Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities
This paper examines the direct and vicarious impact of impairments on the lives of survivors of road traffic injuries (RTIs) and their families. Although the focus of analysis is at individual and household levels, in discussion it relates to social structures. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews and participant observation among survivors, caregivers and community leaders, this paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of disability and to critique ideas linked to lay aetiologies of RTIs, such as fate and individual irresponsibility. Before injury, survivors were living without disability and actively participating in their social world. The paper shows that after injury, survivors social and economic lives were altered, as they coped with changes in bodily functions, and physical capability, and in consequence, as they faced limited opportunities to engage in the social world. It investigates how types of disability affect people in different ways, in an effort to understand the links between their varied experiences, age, gender and ethnicity.

A Case of Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumour That Mimicked Missed Miscarriage

Background and Clinical Significance: Placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) is a malignant tumour of the implantation site intermediate trophoblasts. It has historically been described using terms such as atypical chorioepithelioma, atypical choriocarcinoma, syncytioma, and chorioepitheliosis. It belongs to one of the heterogeneous spectrums of gestational trophoblastic disease. It accounts for about 0.25 to 5% of all gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. The typical clinical presentation is alternating menorrhagia and amenorrhea, mildly elevated β-hCG, and radiological findings of a uterine mass. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old woman presented with a history of intermittent menorrhagia and amenorrhea, with a persistent mildly raised β-hCG level. Ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic lesion on the right side of the posterior wall of the uterus. She was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage, and an evacuation of the products of conception was performed. Histologically, the tissue fragments comprised cords and sheets of atypical intermediate trophoblast cells, with characteristic features of myometrial smooth muscle infiltration, vascular invasion, and vascular wall replaced by the neoplastic cells. Immunohistochemically, these cells are positive for β-hCG and GATA3, while negative for P63. Conclusions: PSTT is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Early recognition of PSTT is essential because its clinical presentation may mimic benign pregnancy-related conditions, and diagnosis relies heavily on histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation.
