Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare case of a prepyloric gastric muscular ring, which differs from the more commonly documented gastric webs, highlighting a lack of literature on this condition.
- It notes that most known gastric outlet obstructions in neonates are attributed to pyloric stenosis, leading to a limited consideration of other conditions like muscular rings.
- The authors suggest that the term "gastric ring" should specify the muscular nature to avoid confusion with submucosal or mucosal types in medical discussions.
The evaluation of pediatric neck masses offers the opportunity for consideration of a diverse range of pathologies, from infectious to neoplastic. A 16-year-old female presented with 2 weeks of worsening swelling and pain of a left-sided neck mass. Findings were consistent with Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus coinfection, but considering profound lymphadenopathy of the supraclavicular, mammillary, and axillary chains, further investigations were undertaken.

Design: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and chondrocytes were obtained from the femurs of Sprague-Dawley rats. An inflammatory model was created by adding 10 ng/mL interleukin-1-beta to culture media.
The purpose of this study was to characterize rat adipose-derived stem cells, induce adipose-derived stem cell tenogenesis, and analyze adipose-derived stem cell effects on tendon repair in vivo. Adipose-derived stem cells demonstrated an immunomodulatory, pro-angiogenic, and pro-proliferatory profile in vitro. Tenogenesis was induced for 1, 7, 14, and 21 days with 24 combinations of growth differentiation factor-5, 6, and 7 and platelet-derived growth factor-BB.

Hypothesis: Daily oral administration of Doxy will enhance the histological, molecular, and biomechanical quality of transected Achilles tendons.
