Current risk factors in stage II colorectal carcinoma are insufficient to guide treatment decisions. Loss of CDX2 has been shown to associate with poor clinical outcome and predict benefit for adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II and III colorectal carcinoma. The prognostic relevance of CDX2 in stage II disease has not been sufficiently validated, especially in relation to clinical risk factors, such as microsatellite instability (MSI) status, BRAF mutation status, and tumor budding. In this study,...

Vascular invasion has been identified as an informative risk factor for relapse in stage I testicular nonseminomas, used to tailor treatment. We investigated interobserver agreement in vascular invasion reporting and studied the potential additional value of immunohistochemistry for vascular markers for predicting relapse. Patients (n=52) with stage I testicular nonseminomas undergoing surveillance (1993-2006) were included (median follow-up of 66 mo). Two formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks...

Osteoblastoma and osteoid osteoma together are the most frequent benign bone-forming tumor, arbitrarily separated by size. In some instances, it can be difficult to differentiate osteoblastoma from osteosarcoma. Following our recent description of FOS gene rearrangement in these tumors, the aim of this study is to evaluate the value of immunohistochemistry in osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, and osteosarcoma for diagnostic purposes. A total of 337 cases were tested with antibodies against c-FOS: 84...

Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are relatively uncommon and have an indolent clinical course. The role of histologic grading and cell proliferation as measured by a Ki-67 index in predicting long-term recurrence in carcinoid tumors of the lung is not defined. We report the largest single-institution study of carcinoid tumors and correlate histologic grade and Ki-67 index with clinical outcome. We reviewed all surgical lung resection cases from 1995 to 2016 with a diagnosis of primary carcinoid tumor....

The term meningioma-like tumor of the skin (MLTS) was coined in 1993 to designate a particular whorled spindle cell superficial cutaneous tumor. No additional confirmed cases of this entity have been reported to date. Some authors have speculated that these cases might be cellular neurothekeomas. In order to delineate the histologic spectrum and the immunophenotype of this unusual tumor, we studied 5 cases, 2 previously unreported and the 3 original cases. The immunohistochemical findings of case...

Better ways to manage preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care of surgical patients is the bailiwick of anesthesiologists. Although we care for patients of all ages, protecting the cognitive capacity of elderly patients more frequently requires procedures and practices that go beyond routine care for nonelderly adults. This narrative review will consider current understanding of the reasons that elderly patients need enhanced care, and recommendations for that care based on established...

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the surgical, urinary, and survival outcomes between nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) and traditional radical hysterectomy (TRH) for stage IB cervical cancer, in which all the primary procedures were performed by a single physician. Methods: Patients with cervical cancer of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB were included if they received radical hysterectomy of class III or type C...

Purpose of review Although severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is the primary target condition for newborn screening (NBS), over 25 secondary targets, conditions other than SCID, have been identified. There is no standard method for evaluating neonates with non-SCID T-cell lymphopenia (TCL) and no standard approaches to treatment. We will describe these conditions and discuss recommendations for evaluating and follow-up of non-SCID TCL detected by NBS. Recent findings The birth prevalence...

Scientists have identified the regional character to Plasmodium falciparum across Africa. Malaria, infecting 219 million individuals in 2017, remains a threat to public health and regional stability. Human movement and the introduction of antimalarial drugs were drivers of this genetic diversity. Gene flow between sub-populations could spread resistance from one sub-population to the rest of the continent.

Purpose of the Report Oxidative stress is a leading factor in the pathogenesis of idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD). Two intrinsic antioxidative molecules, bilirubin and uric acid, are known to protect dopaminergic neurons from oxidative stress in IPD. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between basal serum levels of 2 molecules and dopaminergic deficit assessed by dopamine transporter imaging with 18F-fluorinated-N-3-fluoropropyl-2-β-carboxymethoxy-3-β-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane...

68Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is used in the staging, evaluation of biochemical recurrence, and response assessment of patients with prostate cancer. In addition to the PSMA-expressing prostate cancer cells, Ga-PSMA binds to the neovasculaature of various other solid tumors and benign lesions. We report a case of a 72-year-old man with recently diagnosed adenocarcinoma of prostate, incidentally found to have pleomorphic sarcoma on the staging 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. Received for...

Gorham-Stout disease is a rare disorder characterized by proliferation of lymphatic and vascular channels within bone resulting in osteolysis. A 53-year-old man with Gorham-Stout disease involving the left maxilla underwent previous treatment including radiation therapy and intralesional chemotherapeutic injections. He later presented with anemia, facial pain, weight loss, and nasal cavity hemorrhage. CT imaging demonstrated a mass centered within the right maxillary sinus with locoregional involvement....

Purpose The purposes of this study were to investigate the correlation between unenhanced CT attenuation values and 18F-FDG uptake in adrenal adenomas, and to clarify the mechanism of FDG uptake in adrenal adenomas based on immunohistochemical findings. Materials and Methods In 57 adrenal adenomas, the correlation between SUVmax on 18F-FDG PET and unenhanced CT attenuation was retrospectively investigated. In the 11 surgically resected nodules, the clear cell ratio (CCR) and expression levels...

Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cell carcinoma with high metastatic rate and high mortality rate, needing to find potential therapeutic targets and develop new therapy methods. The bioinformatics analysis was used in this study to find the targets. Firstly, the expression profile of ccRCC obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and GSE53757 dataset were used to identify the significant up-regulated genes. IL20RB, AURKB...

Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) have emerged as vital molecules governing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancers. Translation regulatory RNA 1 (TRERNA1) is one such lncRNA known to enhance the transcriptional activity of the EMT-transcription factor, Snail. We have previously demonstrated differential upregulation of EMT-transcription factors and cadherin switching across various clinico-pathologic-molecular subclasses of ependymomas (EPN). With an aim to analyze...

Abstract Human telomerase reverse transcriptase enzyme, the catalytic subunit of telomerase are seen to be frequently reactivated in cancers including Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Increased hTERT expression have been seen in potentially malignant conditions including Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression levels in OSMF, OSCC in the background of OSMF and OSCC using immunohistochemistry and also to correlate hTERT expression...
