Adrenal PEComa Treated by Surgical Resection and Postoperative Radiotherapy: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Perivascular epitheloid cell neoplasm (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is evaluated in the same tumor family as angiomyolipoma, sugar cell tumor of the lung, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Immunohistochemically, the disease can express melanocytic and myogenic markers, such as HMB45, HMSA1, MelanA/Mart1, and actin. The disease can be seen in almost every organ, especially the uterus and retroperitoneum.

MycoTWIN Working Group Discussion: A Multi-Actor Perspective on Future Research Directions for Mycotoxins and Toxigenic Fungi Along the Food and Feed Chain.

Mycotoxin research is facing unprecedented challenges, starting from the urgent need to cope with the consequences of climate change, the global shortage of grain due to unstable political scenarios, and the major transformation of the supply chains after the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, the mycotoxin contamination of human and animal foods is still unavoidable, thus representing a major challenge to global food security. Next to this, the shift to sustainable and circular food production might be accompanied by an increase in food safety issues involving mycotoxins, e.

The Effects of Different Drying Methods on the Bioaccessibility of Phenolics, Antioxidant Capacity, and Morphology of European Plums ( L.).

Four different drying methods, hot-air-drying (HAD), vacuum-drying (VD), ultrasound-assisted vacuum-drying (US-VD), and freeze-drying (FD), were used to obtain dried plums (.). These prunes were evaluated for their physical properties (such as color, rehydration ratio, and microstructural properties), phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activities before and after being subjected to digestion.

A clinicopathological experience in acute myeloid leukemia: Effects of clinical data and status of FLT3, CEBPA and NPM1 on prognosis.

Background: The purpose of the study was to analyze the expression of nucleophosmin (NPM1), CCAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA), and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) with immunohistochemistry and evaluate the relationship with clinicopathologic data with special emphasis on prognosis in bone marrow biopsy specimens diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Materials And Methods: Bone marrow biopsies of 104 patients who were diagnosed with AML were re-evaluated for diagnosis and subclassification. Immunohistochemically, anti-NPM1, anti-CEBPA, and anti-FLT3 antibodies were applied to slides prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.

The Effect of Intraarticular Insulin on Chondral Defect Repair.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of intraarticular insulin on the treatment of chondral defects.

Design: Twenty-four mature New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups as control (Group 1), microfracture (Group 2), and microfracture and insulin (Group 3). Four-millimeter full-thickness cartilage defects were created to the weight-bearing surface on the medial femoral condyles of each rabbit.
