Article Synopsis
- * A unique megaplasmid, called pESM, associated with multidrug resistance and virulence has been identified, carrying genes that provide resistance to important antibiotics and enhance tolerance to environmental stressors like mercury.
- * The study reveals that pESM likely contributes to the emergence and spread of Minnesota, which poses significant risks for human and animal infections due to its high virulence and antibiotic resistance.
Objective: PTC-specific analysis identified novel fusions involving , , , , and genes in adults and pediatric PTCs. Although many novel fusions are PTC-specific events and, therefore, are ideal for diagnosis purposes, validation across additional and larger patient cohorts is essential for introducing these potential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers into the clinical practice. As most of the , and fusions were initially found in pediatric PTC or in more aggressive thyroid carcinomas, and there is a great disparity across population, in this study, we screened a large set of adult-sporadic PTC cases for the most prevalent kinase fusion lately described in the TCGA.

- * It analyzed 42 patients over 36 years, finding a mean age of 41.7 and that many tumors appeared as asymptomatic neck masses, primarily located laterally in the neck.
- * Most tumors were removed through a neck approach, with cranial nerves being the most common source of these neurogenic tumors, which had an average size of 5.5 cm.
