Knotted stents: Case report and outcome analysis.

ABSTRACT: A knotted ureteral stent is an extremely rare condition, with fewer than 20 cases reported in the literature; however, it is difficult to treat. We report a case in which a folded Terumo guidewire was successfully used to remove a knotted stent percutaneously without anesthesia. We also review the current literature on predisposing factors and management strategies for knotted ureteral stents.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Glioneuronal tumor with CLIP2-MET fusion: A case report

Project description:Glioneuronal tumor (GN) is one type of biphasic central nervous system (CNS) tumor that exhibits both glial and neuronal immunohistological characteristics. We report a case of glioneuronal tumor (GN) with a discovery of novel gene fusion of CLIP2-MET resulting from aberrant chromosome 7 abnormalities. The tumor exhibited typical characteristics on histological examinations. We executed an elaborate genomic study on this case including whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Genomic analysis of the tumor revealed aberrations in chromosomes 1 and 7 and a CLIP2-MET fusion. Further analysis of the upregulated genes revealed substantial connections with MAPK pathway activation. We concluded that the chromosome 7 abnormalities prompted CLIP2-MET gene fusion which successively leads to MAPK pathway activation. We deliberated that MAPK pathway activation is responsible for the oncogenesis of GN based on our case and other previously reported ones.

Metabolically Healthy Obesity is not a Myth: A Case Report

Project description:People with obesity who do not have the metabolic syndrome or components of the metabolic syndrome have been characterized as having metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). However, the existence of MHO has been questioned because people with MHO are at greater risk of developing diabetes and fatal cardiovascular disease than people who are lean and healthy. A 25 year-old woman with rigorously defined MHO (based on normal oral glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity (assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure), plasma triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol, intrahepatic triglyceride content and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) was evaluated at baseline (BMI=37.7 kg/m2) and 5 years later, after gaining 30.8 kg (32%) in weight (BMI=49.6 kg/m2). The increase in weight was comprised of an 8.8 kg (20%) increase in FFM, 22.0 kg (42%) increase in total body fat, 8.1 kg (37%) increase in leg fat mass, 57% increase in subcutaneous abdominal fat and a 78% in intra-abdominal fat. Weight gain did not have adverse effects on fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance, beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, plasma triglyceride, intrahepatic triglyceride content and CIMT. Adipose tissue expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix formation did not change. Adipose tissue expression of several inflammation-related genes increased by more than 30%, but was not associated with a corresponding increase in plasma cytokine concentrations, with the exception of an increase in plasma IL-6. The present case study demonstrates that some people with obesity are resistant to the adverse cardiometabolic effects of excess adiposity and marked weight gain.

Case Report: Molecular Profiling Facilitates the Diagnosis of a Challenging Case of Lung Cancer with Choriocarcinoma Features

Project description:Accurate diagnoses are crucial in determining the most effective treatment across different cancers. In challenging cases, morphology-based traditional pathology methods have important limitations, while molecular profiling can provide valuable information to guide clinical decisions. We present a 35-year female with lung cancer with choriocarcinoma features. Her disease involved the right lower lung, brain, and thoracic lymph nodes. The pathology from brain metastasis was reported as “metastatic choriocarcinoma” (a germ cell tumor) by local pathologists. She initiated carboplatin and etoposide, a regimen for choriocarcinoma. Subsequently, her case was assessed by pathologists from an academic cancer center, who gave the diagnosis of “adenocarcinoma with aberrant expression of β-hCG” and finally pathologists at our hospital, who gave the diagnosis of “poorly differentiated carcinoma with choriocarcinoma features”. Genomic profiling detected a KRAS G13R mutation and transcriptomics profiling was suggestive of lung origin. The patient was treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel/ipilimumab/nivolumab followed by consolidation radiation therapy. She had no evidence of progression to date, 13 months after the initial presentation. The molecular profiling could facilitate diagnosing of challenging cancer cases. In addition, chemoimmunotherapy and local consolidation radiation therapy may provide promising therapeutic options for patients with lung cancer exhibiting choriocarcinoma features.

Chromosomal instability associated with adverse outcome: a case report of patient with Nijmegen breakage syndrome and rapidly developed T-NHL with complex karyotype

Project description:Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern associated with an increased risk of developing lymphoproliferative disorders, mainly non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This work presents a patient previously diagnosed with Nijmegen breakage syndrome who rapidly developed T-NHL despite of constant medical supervision. Cytogenetic karyotype and microarray tests revealed complex aberrations, indicating enhanced chromosomal instability.

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas: One case report and rehabilitation outcome.

Project description:Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a relatively rare but potentially disabling disease, and the classical presentation of it includes an acute onset of severe, sometimes radiating back or neck pain, followed by signs and symptoms of rapidly evolving nerve root or spinal cord compression.Here, we report a 26-year-old female patient presented with weakness in bilateral lower extremities, progressing to intense paraplegia and anesthesia without recent medical history of trauma, infection, surgery, or drug use.A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of spinal cord was planned and a posterior epidural hematoma of the thoracic spine was observed.A posterior decompression and hematoma evacuation was performed after diagnosis immediately. Early rehabilitation program of the specific kind spinal cord injury was formulated and implemented.The patient finally can handle basic living activities, such as completing wheelchair locomotion, transferring from bed to wheelchair independently after 3 months of rehabilitation.SSEH is a rarely occurring case in emergency. Acute chest pain and paraplegia could be the initial presentation of acute spinal epidural hemorrhage, but the diagnosis of patient without classical manifestations is still a challenge for doctors. Early diagnosis, prompt decompression, and individualized rehabilitation program can improve the prognosis and outcome.
