An 82-Year old woman with a palpable lymph node

Project description:An 82-year-old woman with a history of LD stage SCLC of her left upper lobe nine years earlier, had been treated with five cycles chemotherapy cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and etoposide (CDE)) resulting in a complete response. She received prophylactic cranial irradiation. Now she presented with a palpable mass in the right supra-clavicular fossa. Her further medical history revealed coronary vascular disease, for which she underwent PTCA; mild aortic valve stenosis and a pacemaker to treat a third degree AV block. She has NYHA class II. She had a history of cigarette smoking but she stopped when SCLC was diagnosed nine years ago. She had no dyspnea

Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) associated with sarcoma, case report.

Project description:Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by the secretion of high molecular weight insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) from tumors, particularly those of mesenchymal and epithelial origin. This case report describes a 71-year-old male with pelvic sarcoma who presented with severe hypoglycemia, with blood glucose levels dropping below 40 mg/dL and exhibiting neuroglycopenic symptoms. The diagnosis of NICTH was confirmed through biochemical analysis showing hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia alongside low C-peptide and IGF-1 levels. Initial management with dextrose infusions and glucocorticoids proved ineffective until recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy was initiated, resulting in a decreased requirement for dextrose. Following angioembolization of the tumor, the patient's blood glucose levels stabilized sufficiently to allow for the complete cessation of dextrose administration. This case highlights the critical role of rhGH in reducing dextrose dependency and the effectiveness of angioembolization in managing NICTH when surgical options are limited.

DNA methylation profiles of 30 tissues from a 112 year old woman

Project description:The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of these tissues. Toward this end, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928 Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain n=64 Illumina DNA methylation arrays from 30 tissues. For each of the following tissues, we obtained at least 2 replicates: adipose, adrenal gland, aorta, bone, bone-marrow, breast, buccal cells, cartilage, cerebellum, colon, diaphragm, esophagus , frontal cortex, kidney, heart, hippocampus, liver, lung, lymph node, midbrain, muscle, occipital cortex, pancreas, pericardium skin, spleen, stomach, temporal cortex, thyroid, whole blood.
