• Context.-Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is characterized by placentomegaly and may be mistaken for molar pregnancy both clinically macroscopically because of the presence grapelike vesicles. It associated with a completely normal fetus, fetus growth restriction, or features Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Objective.-To review etiology, molecular pathology, gross microscopic features, clinical presentation, complications, differential diagnosis placental dysplasia. Data Sources.-The PubMed...
Diabetes is a significant risk factor for developing West Nile virus (WNV)-associated encephalitis (WNVE) in humans, the leading cause of arboviral United States. Using diabetic mouse model (db/db), we recently demonstrated that diabetes enhanced WNV replication and susceptibility mice to WNVE. Herein, have examined immunological events brain wild type (WT) db/db after infection. We hypothesized WNV-induced migration protective leukocytes into attenuated presence diabetes, high viral load...
BACKGROUND The majority of primary extrahepatic neoplasms exhibiting features hepatocellular carcinoma in terms morphology, immunohistochemistry, and behavior have been described the stomach. To authors' knowledge only a few cases involved other organ sites. They frequently are associated with histologic type tumors such as adenocarcinoma, portend an aggressive behavior. METHODS Two examples hepatoid arising from pancreas reported current study. RESULTS One case was malignant islet cell...
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma is a primary that preferentially involves the subcutaneous tissue. Although has been recognized as distinctive entity in category of peripheral World Health Organization classification, its diagnostic criteria redefined by recent Organization-European for Research and Treatment Cancer classification cutaneous lymphomas. now restricted to expressing alphabeta receptor phenotype. These lymphomas are usually CD3(+), CD4(-), CD8(+), CD56(-), have an...
The breast and skin are considered to be rare sites of extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection, comprising 0.1% 0.5% all tuberculosis cases, respectively. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a rapid minimally invasive approach diagnose tuberculosis, has been used successfully in identifying tuberculous lesions the lymph nodes, thyroid, kidney, pancreas, vertebrae, testis. Two cases mycobacteriosis diagnosed by FNAB described: 59-year-old Hispanic male with cutaneous infection head neck...
Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) detection of MLL translocations is now commonplace cytogenetics laboratories. One the most widely used probes Oncor probe (Oncor, Gaithersburg, MD) that theoretically demonstrates presence an rearrangement by a splitting FISH signal between two derivative chromosomes generated translocation. Recently, another commercial has been made available from Vysis (Vysis, Downers Grove, IL) uses dual colour system. We examined material 29 patients and 4 cell...
Primary yolk sac tumor of the liver is an extremely rare neoplasm, with fewer than 20 cases reported. We evaluated 2 pediatric (21-month-old and 23-month-old female patients), who presented masses markedly raised serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). One patient received a partial hepatectomy another underwent biopsy, both which showed characteristic features tumor, cells staining strongly positive for AFP. There was no evidence extrahepatic primary source. Both our patients have been healthy,...
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has exacerbated the risk for poor physical and mental health outcomes among vulnerable older adults. Multicomponent interventions could potentially prevent or reduce of becoming frail; however, there is limited evidence about utilizing alternative modes delivery where access to in-person care may be challenging. This randomized feasibility trial aimed understand how a multicomponent rehabilitation program can delivered remotely adults with frailty during pandemic.
Background Social integration and mental health are vital aspects of healthy aging. However, close to half Canadians older than 80 years report feeling socially isolated. Research has shown that social isolation leads increased mortality morbidity, various interventions have been studied alleviate loneliness among adults. This proposal presents an evaluation intervention provides one-on-one coaching, is intergenerational, both educational socialization experiences, increases technology...
Freshfrozen plasma can be thawed rapidly in a microwave oven without loss of function coagulation factors and with no adverse effects to the patients. In patients receiving fresh-frozen oven, prothrombin time was decreased by an average 2.9 sec per unit, activated partial thromboplastin 9.7 compared decrease 2.6 6.3 for water bath at 37°C.
Quantum repeaters enable us to distribute entanglement between remote parties by relying on a network of quantum memory units that exhibit efficient coupling light, scalability, and long coherence times. Entanglement is initially distributed nearest neighbors then extended the far-end nodes using swapping techniques. For real-time applications, such as key distribution, above tasks must be repeated successively, according proper protocol, generate entangled states at certain rate. This paper...
