Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerosis is a condition where arteries get clogged, and it can happen quietly until a serious event like a stroke occurs.
- Researchers studied tiny molecules called microRNAs in the blood to see if they could help detect early signs of this clogging in the carotid arteries.
- The study found that these microRNAs were very good at identifying the problem, showing they could be useful tools for doctors to diagnose this condition early on.

Pyonephrosis is hydronephrosis accompanied by a bacterial infection in the kidney, causing suppurative destruction of the renal parenchyma; this condition is an emergency and usually associated with stones or chronic urinary tract infections. Urinalysis is typically inaccurate for establishing the diagnosis, as bacteriuria may not manifest due to ureteral obstruction. We reported a 55-year-old male patient with flanks pain and an account of stone expulsion.

Case Presentation: A 48-year-old woman complained of dilated stomach, stomachache, and nausea. Laboratory findings showed an increase in the tumor marker, CA-125147 U/mL and also LDH 350 U/L while quantitative total β HCG and CEA were normal.
The peritoneal cavity is the second most common location for mesothelioma with only 10.5% of 10,589 mesothelioma cases reported in the United States between 1973 until 2005 and known with poor prognosis. Diagnosing malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a challenge for many clinicians because the symptoms are often non-specific.
