Multifocal malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the peritoneum: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Neoplasms with perivascular epithelioid-cell differentiation (PEComa) are rare. We present a case of multifocal malignant PEComas arising in the peritoneum.

Case Presentation: A 61-year-old woman presented with a painful abdominal mass that had progressed over the past year and recently increased in size.

The effect of cervical traction on stabilometric parameters in cervical radiculopathy patients: A randomized crossover study.

Background: Cervical traction is effective on pain and function in patients with cervical radiculopathy but its effectiveness on balance disorders has not yet been studied.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of mechanical intermittent cervical traction (MICT) on stabilometric parameters in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Methods: This randomized crossover study assigned 20 patients with cervical radiculopathy to one of the two groups: Group effective traction (ET)/sham traction (ST) (n= 10) treated firstly with ET (traction force of 12 Kg) then with ST (traction force of 2 Kg) with one-week interval and group ST/ET (n= 10) treated invertedly with a ST then ET.

Preoperative Intralesional Bevacizumab Injection in Primary Pterygium in Tunisian Patients: A Randomized Controlled Prospective Study.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of a single preoperative intralesional bevacizumab injection as an adjuvant treatment before primary pterygium surgery.

Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled interventional study from January 2019 to December 2020. The study included a total of 60 patients (60 eyes) with primary pterygium.

Cotton and Flax Textiles Leachables Impact Differently Cutaneous and Biofilm Formation and Cytotoxicity.

Bacteria can bind on clothes, but the impacts of textiles leachables on cutaneous bacteria remain unknown. Here, we studied for the first time the effects of cotton and flax obtained through classical and soft ecological agriculture on the representatives and bacteria of the cutaneous microbiota. Crude flax showed an inhibitory potential on bacterial lawns whereas cotton had no effect.
