Article Synopsis
- Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a type of skin tumor mostly found in children, but some cases occur in other parts of the body, and their genetic causes are not fully understood.* -
- A study analyzed 16 children and 5 adults with extracutaneous JXG using advanced sequencing, finding that numerous genetic alterations, especially related to kinase fusions, were present in most children.* -
- The findings indicate that while surgery is common for treatment, some cases can regress on their own, and specific genetic alterations could help inform better treatment options in the future.*
Adult orbital xanthogranulomatous disease (AOXGD) is a spectrum of histiocytoses with four subtypes. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway mutations have been detected in various histiocytic neoplasms, little is known about this in AOXGD. Targeted regions of cancer- and histiocytosis-related genes were analyzed and immunohistochemical staining of phosphorylated ERK (pERK), cyclin D1 and PU.

We aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics and additional haematologic cancers of patients diagnosed with histiocytic disorders in The Netherlands.
Methods And Results: We retrieved data on histiocytosis patients from the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank (Palga).
Motivation: Acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and disability worldwide, often followed by a long rehabilitation period. To improve and personalize stroke rehabilitation, it is essential to provide a reliable prognosis to caregivers and patients. Deep learning techniques might improve the predictions by incorporating different data modalities.
