Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of Gleason Score (GS) 7 (3+4) prostatic adenocarcinoma with a low percentage of grade 4 to that of GS6 (3+3) prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Methods: All patients with GS6 or GS7 prostatic adenocarcinoma who underwent prostatectomy between 2014 and 2018 were selected. The prostate biopsy (PB) and prostatectomy resection specimen (RS) slides were reviewed by 2 pathologists.

Unlabelled: The aim was to study the prognostic impact of tumor infiltration of the subserosa in colonic adenocarcinoma, by evaluating the degree of tumor infiltration in the subserosa (DISS), tumor-serosa distance (DTS), and invasion of the elastic boundary of the subserosa (ILE) after elastic fiber staining.

Material And Methods: All patients operated on for colonic adenocarcinoma classified as pT3 without lymph node or visceral metastasis operated on at the CHU d'Amiens between 2004 and 2017 were included. All slides were reviewed by 2 pathologists.

Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) usually has an indolent course. However, some patients develop more aggressive disease and few prognostic parameters have been identified. Isolated cases of pustular MF (pMF) suggest an unfavourable prognosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Genuine empty follicle syndrome (gEFS) is a rare infertility issue where cumulus-oocyte complexes are present but no oocytes are found after IVF egg retrieval, linked to mutations in zona pellucida (ZP) proteins.
  • A study focused on a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with gEFS revealed a new genetic variant in the ZP1 gene that likely disrupts protein assembly, explaining the absence of oocytes in her case after retrieval attempts.
  • The findings suggest that genetic testing for ZP genes should be considered for similar infertility cases, allowing for better genetic counseling and potential treatment options like IVF adjustments or oocyte donation.
