Reperfusion injury following acute myocardial infarction is associated with significant morbidity. Activation of neuronal or non-neuronal cholinergic pathways in the heart has been shown to reduce ischemic injury, and this effect attributed primarily muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. In contrast, role nicotinic receptors, specifically α-7 subtype (α7nAChR), myocardium remains unknown, which offers an opportunity potentially repurpose several agonists/modulators that are currently under...

Primary splenic angiosarcoma carries a poor prognosis and is among the rarest forms of malignancy. An overwhelming majority patients with will develop metastases. However, osseous metastatic disease rare. We present an 83 year old hispanic female who was diagnosed primary on bone marrow biopsy performed for hematologic workup. highlight key historical, laboratory, imaging, pathological features angiosarcoma. The synthesis both imaging clinical history essential establishing early diagnosis...

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare entity that comprises approximately 1%-3% all primary cancers. We report case 37-year-old woman who was diagnosed with locally invasive gallbladder. Surgical pathology revealed predominantly composition tumor few microscopic foci adenocarcinoma (<1% tumor). discuss pertinent clinical features, risk factors, and imaging characteristics to prompt early diagnosis treatment, which will ultimately lead improved patient outcomes.

Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented moniliform hyphae and cultures grew Exophiala oligosperma. The lesions completely resolved 3 of treatment posaconazole.

Pancreatic cancer is the most common lethal cancer, with annual incidence and mortality rates being approximately equal. This dismal prognosis can be attributed to late diagnosis making cancers unresectable. These respond poorly chemotherapy radiation, surgical resection remains effective treatment available. Diagnostic tests that are sensitive, specific, capable of early detection urgently needed would significantly impact upon pancreatic outcomes. Exosomes, small membrane-bound vesicles...
