Article Synopsis
- In 2013, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) molecular classification for endometrial carcinomas was established, showing its importance for predicting outcomes and guiding treatments, but its implementation varies significantly among institutions based on available resources.
- A study initiated in Northern Ireland since March 2023 integrated molecular classification into the diagnosis of endometrial carcinomas by using genomic analysis and immunohistochemical staining to categorize tumors according to TCGA standards.
- Out of 267 tested cases, 262 were successfully classified into four TCGA groups, revealing distinct molecular profiles that could aid in personalized treatment options for patients.
Cervical adenocarcinomas are now classified as human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated and HPV-independent types with the former being more common. However, population-based studies regarding the relative incidences of the 2 types are few. This study investigates the incidence of cervical adenocarcinomas in Northern Ireland (a country with a relatively stable population of ~1.

Aims: To report a series of benign ovarian seromucinous neoplasms, an uncommon and hitherto poorly described category of tumours included in the current 2014 World Health Organisation classification of tumours of the female reproductive organs.
Methods And Results: We report the clinicopathological features of a series of 22 benign ovarian seromucinous neoplasms (cystadenomas and adenofibromas or admixtures). The neoplasms occurred in patients aged 32-83 years (mean = 62, median = 65.
Smartphones with their rising popularity and versatile software 'apps' have great potential for revolutionising healthcare services. However, this was soon overshadowed by concerns highlighted by many studies over quality. These were subject and/or discipline specific and mostly evaluated compliance with a limited number of information portrayal standards originally devised for health websites.

Epilepsy Behav Case Rep
February 2015
Purpose: Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type one is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by action- and stimulus-sensitive myoclonus, tonic-clonic seizures, progressive cerebellar ataxia, preserved cognition, and poor outcome. The authors report clinical, neurophysiological, radiological, and genetic findings of an Emirati family with five affected siblings and review the literature.
Methods: All data concerning familial and clinical history, neurologic examination, laboratory tests, electroencephalogram, brain imaging, and DNA analysis were examined.
