The sarcomatoid variant of anaplastic large cell lymphoma is an extremely rare histologic pattern of anaplastic large cell lymphoma that consists of spindle-shaped neoplastic cells and is easily misdiagnosed as a soft tissue sarcoma. We report a case of the sarcomatoid variant of anaplastic large cell lymphoma that was initially diagnosed as an…[Read more]

Testicular masses found in prepubertal males are often benign in nature. This has led to an increase in the use of testis-sparing surgery. Testicular torsion is considered a urologic emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention. Based off literature review, it is rare for these unique entities to present synchronously in a single…[Read more]

The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that patients with lower expression of PD-L1, PDK1 or p-Akt had significantly longer recurrence-free time. The logistic regression analysis revealed that only CLT, PD-L and capsular infiltration were risk factors for patients’ five-year recurrence.

The PD-L1, PDK1 and p-Akt were found to be positively…[Read more]

CONTEXT The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) is higher than in those with essential hypertension and the general population. Although DM is a common major risk factor for the cardio-cerebrovascular (CCV) diseases and renal complications, details of its effects in PA have not been demonstrated.…[Read more]

Cervical tubercular disease (CTB) is a rare pathology and constitutes 3-5% of all spinal TB. It includes atlantoaxial TB and sub-axial TB. As the literature evidence on this subject is scarce, majority of issues concerning CTB are still controversial. The current narrative review comprehensively discusses the various aspects related to CTB.…[Read more]

Cross-sectional imaging is increasingly used to quantify adipose tissue compartments in subjects with overweight or obesity. The lack of ionizing radiation makes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) highly preferable to computed tomography (CT) although it is generally less standardized and time-consuming. Fat areas of single or stacks of neighboring…[Read more]

Acute and chronic effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on human health have long been a concern. It is well known that acute UVR causes epidermal hyperplasia, erythema, delayed tanning, pigment darkening, and free-radical formation. Apart from acute effects of UVR, its chronic effects involve immunosuppression, photoaging, exacerbation,…[Read more]

The association between preeclampsia/eclampsia and HFpEF was analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models.

There were 2,532,515 women included in the study 2,404,486 without and 128,029 with preeclampsia/eclampsia. HFpEF hospitalization was significantly more likely among women with preeclampsia/eclampsia, after adjusting for baseline…[Read more]
