The unseen spread-Schnitzler's metastasis unveiled: a case report.

Metastasis to the rectum is very rare and is usually caused by primaries from the breast, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary system. We report here a case of acute intestinal obstruction caused by an unusual rectal stenosis, for which he underwent a diversion stoma. On extensive evaluation for the etiology of the rectal stenosis, he was diagnosed with diffuse gastric cancer with Schnitzler's metastasis to the rectal submucosa.

Lymphomas With Primary Gastrointestinal Presentation: A Retrospective Study Covering a Five-Year Period at a Quaternary Care Center in Southern India.

Background and objective Lymphomas can involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as a primary disease or as a secondary spread of systemic disease. The GI tract is a key site for extranodal lymphomas, with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) occurring in this region. This study aimed to analyze the demography, anatomic distribution, histological subtypes, and immunomorphological characteristics of all lymphomas with a primary GI presentation at a quaternary care hospital in southern India.

Anterolateral Thigh Flap for Abdominal Wall Defect After Debridement for Meleney's With Fournier's Gangrene: A Case Report of a Rare Outcome.

Meleney's gangrene is a synergistic polymicrobial infection of the anterior abdominal wall causing rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of skin and subcutaneous tissues. When combined with Fournier's gangrene, the mortality rates are higher. Here, we discuss a case of Meleney's with Fournier's gangrene managed with appropriate antibiotics and extensive wound debridement, followed by a successful split-thickness skin grafting of the lower anterior abdominal wall and scrotum.

Effect of Flux and Co-doping on Photoluminescence Properties of ZnSiO:Eu Red Phosphors for Blue LED Excitable White LED Applications.

Eu activated ZnSiO red phosphor synthesized by pyrolysis technique at 1000ºC for one hour is reported. Upon excitation by 394 nm and 464 nm, the phosphor displays a distinct red emission peaking around 614 nm, a characteristic of f-f electronic transitions involving Eu ions.Incorporating alkali metal ions such as Li, Na and K into ZnSiO:Eu phosphor led to a remarkable increase in photoluminescence (PL) intensity.

Intense Red Fluorescence From Surface Traps in BaSO:V, Eu and Its Applications.

BaSO:V synthesized at 1000°C in air exhibits an intense emission band peaking at 495 nm from surface traps assisted by atmospheric oxygen on excitation at 350 nm due to charge transfer from O to V in the (VO) tetrahedral complex. BaSO:Eu synthesized under similar conditions exhibits both Eu (375 nm) and Eu (619 nm) fluorescence. Vanadium codoping quenches the Eu fluorescence but enhances the Eu fluorescence in BaSO:V, Eu due to charge compensation.
