Model for detecting metastatic deposits in lymph nodes of colorectal carcinoma on digital/ non-WSI images.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes around 10% of global cancer diagnoses and death due to cancer. Treatment involves the surgical resection of the tumor and regional lymph nodes. Assessment of multiple lymph node demands meticulous examination by skilled pathologists, which can be arduous, prompting consideration for an artificial intelligence (AI)-supported workflow due to the growing number of slides to be examined, demanding heightened precision and the global shortage of pathologists.

Tranilast Treatment Prevents Chronic Radiation-Induced Colitis in Rats by Inhibiting Mast Cell Infiltration.

Introduction: Mast cells are the principal cells involved in acute and chronic colitis due to radiation, known as radiation-induced colitis (RIC). In this study, we investigated whether pretreatment with tranilast, a mast cell inhibitor, could alleviate chronic RIC.

Methods: A total of 23 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n = 5), radiation group (RG, n = 9), and tranilast-pretreated radiation group (TG, n = 9).

Single-Cell View of Tumor Microenvironment Gradients in Pleural Mesothelioma.

Immunotherapies have shown great promise in pleural mesothelioma (PM), yet most patients still do not achieve significant clinical response, highlighting the importance of improving the understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we utilized high-throughput, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to de novo identify 54 expression programs and construct a comprehensive cellular catalog of the PM TME. We found four cancer-intrinsic programs associated with poor disease outcome and a novel fetal-like, endothelial cell population that likely responds to VEGF signaling and promotes angiogenesis.

Primary synovial sarcoma in anal canal: Report of a very rare case.

Extensive studies are required to understand the behavior as well as prognosis of SS in the colorectal region. IHC staining is essential for the accurate diagnosis when a lesion is encountered at an unusual site.

Association of hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2/neu expressions with clinicopathologic factors of breast carcinoma: a cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital, Kabul, Afghanistan.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the major causes of death worldwide. It is the most common cause of death before the age of 70 years. The incidence and mortality of BC are rapidly increasing, posing great challenges to the health system and economy of every nation.
