Case report: Postoperative abdominal recurrence of pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma showed a dramatic response to S-1 after pembrolizumab.

The patient was an 80-year-old woman with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. She was diagnosed with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma in the right upper lobe, which relapsed 18 months after the operation. Computed tomography showed a mass in contact with the posterior wall of the lower part of the stomach.

[Pyothorax-associated lymphoma with the expression of Epstein-Barr virus latent genes].

An 84-year-old man, who had received artificial pneumothorax for pulmonary tuberculosis 67 years previously, complained of severe chest pain. Chest CT revealed chronic pyothorax with multiple heterogeneously enhanced cavity lesions in the wall of the right intrathoracic space. FDG-PET revealed that the lesions showed an abnormal uptake.

Application of overall dynamic body acceleration as a proxy for estimating the energy expenditure of grazing farm animals: relationship with heart rate.

Estimating the energy expenditure of farm animals at pasture is important for efficient animal management. In recent years, an alternative technique for estimating energy expenditure by measuring body acceleration has been widely performed in wildlife and human studies, but the availability of the technique in farm animals has not yet been examined. In the present study, we tested the potential use of an acceleration index, overall dynamic body acceleration (ODBA), as a new proxy for estimating the energy expenditure of grazing farm animals (cattle, goats and sheep) at pasture with the simultaneous evaluation of a conventional proxy, heart rate.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma with extranodal involvement of the thigh muscle: a case report.

Introduction: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The most common extranodal sites of anaplastic large cell lymphoma are skin, subcutaneous tissue, bone, lung, and gastrointestinal organs. The involvement of the skeletal muscle has been described rarely in extranodal anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

[Advanced poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon with micropapillary carcinoma components except specific cytokeratin expressions, report of a case].

A 53-year-old woman had a tumor in the ascending colon. CT revealed tumor invasion to the surrounding tissue and also showed multiple swollen lymph nodes, liver metastases and ascites. Colonic tumor with severe stenosis was diagnosed by colonoscopy and the obtained biopsy specimen revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.
