[Combined echinococcosis of the lungs, heart and liver: clinic, diagnosis and treatment. Case report].

Echinococcosis or hidatid disease is a parasitic illness which is caused by the most common pathogens , and . When the agent gets into the organism, it penetrates the organ and forms a cyst. Cysts are located more often (75%) in the liver where they exist without any clinical manifestation.

Pan-cancer analysis of biallelic inactivation in tumor suppressor genes identifies KEAP1 zygosity as a predictive biomarker in lung cancer.

The canonical model of tumor suppressor gene (TSG)-mediated oncogenesis posits that loss of both alleles is necessary for inactivation. Here, through allele-specific analysis of sequencing data from 48,179 cancer patients, we define the prevalence, selective pressure for, and functional consequences of biallelic inactivation across TSGs. TSGs largely assort into distinct classes associated with either pan-cancer (Class 1) or lineage-specific (Class 2) patterns of selection for biallelic loss, although some TSGs are predominantly monoallelically inactivated (Class 3/4).

Classification of Infiltrative Heart Diseases MORAL-STAGE System.

Infiltrative heart disease (InHD) is a group of diseases characterized by the deposition of abnormal substances in the heart tissue, causing diastolic, less often systolic, dysfunction of the ventricle(s). Their classification still does not exist. In 2013, the MOGE(S) classification of cardiomyopathies was published, taking into account, along with the morphological and functional characteristics of the heart, damage to other organs, the presence of genetic mutations, acquired causes (e.

Obesity-dependent selection of driver mutations in cancer.

Obesity is a risk factor for cancer, but whether obesity is linked to specific genomic subtypes of cancer is unknown. We examined the relationship between obesity and tumor genotype in two clinicogenomic corpora. Obesity was associated with specific driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma, endometrial carcinoma and cancers of unknown primaries, independent of clinical covariates, demographic factors and genetic ancestry.
