Purpose: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression is seen in 4%-16% of biliary tract cancers (BTCs). We aimed to evaluate the clinical activity of gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) plus anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab as initial treatment in HER2-positive BTCs.

Methods: This study was an investigator-initiated, open-label, single-arm, multi-institutional, phase II trial in adult patients with HER2-positive (defined as immunohistochemistry [IHC] 3+ or IHC 2+ and fluorescent in situ hybridization-positive), treatment-naïve BTCs.

Genital tuberculosis (TB) is an important cause of female infertility in the world, especially in developing countries. Majority of infertility cases are due to involvement of the fallopian tubes (92%-100%), endometrial cavity (50%), and ovaries (10%-30%); cervical and vulvovaginal TB are uncommon.

Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a triad of congenital muscular dystrophy, brain anomalies, and ocular abnormalities. The brain anomalies mainly include type II lissencephaly (cobblestone cortex), pontine and cerebellar hypogenesis, cerebral or cerebellar hypomyelination, cerebellar polymicrogyria with or without cysts, and variable callosal hypogenesis. Constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequence, a heavily T(2)-weighted sequence, is ideal for demonstrating the presence of cerebellar cysts on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
