This report describes a rare case of relapsed multiple myeloma in the gastrointestinal tract with aberrant CD3 expression. Upon admission for acute renal failure, the patient had abnormal computed tomography scan findings of the abdomen and pelvis. Subsequent colonoscopy found numerous polyps and masses.

Background: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are a cornerstone of adjuvant systemic therapy for postmenopausal patients with hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. Although AIs decrease cancer recurrence rates and improve survival rates, approximately 50 % of patients experience arthralgia-persistent pain related to worse patient outcomes and poor AI adherence. Current medical interventions for AI-associated arthralgia have limited efficacy and side effects that restrict their use among older patients.

A 66-year-old female presented to the hospital for evaluation of multiple strokes over a three-month period. The patient underwent extensive testing to evaluate for autoimmune vasculitis and other hypercoagulable entities that were negative. Bone marrow and lymph node biopsies showed no evidence of lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infection in cattle, which can cause various health issues, aiming to analyze the genetic diversity of M. bovis strains from clinical samples in Ireland and Scotland.
  • - Researchers sequenced the genomes of 24 M. bovis strains (19 from Ireland and 5 from Scotland) and compared them to 117 existing genetic assemblies to create a phylogenetic tree, identifying Irish strains in two groups and all Scottish strains in one.
  • - The findings highlight the similarities between Irish and Scottish M. bovis strains and underscore the importance of biosecurity in cattle management due to the global spread of this infection facilitated by international cattle movement.

Methodological improvements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) have made it a useful tool in ligand-bound structure determination for biology and drug design. However, determining the conformation and identity of bound ligands is still challenging at the resolutions typical for cryoEM. Automated methods can aid in ligand conformational modeling, but current ligand identification tools - developed for X-ray crystallography data - perform poorly at resolutions common for cryoEM.
