Lymphocytic gastritis (LG) is a rare form of gastritis characterized by lymphocytosis in the gastric mucosa, while microscopic colitis (MC) is the chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine with lymphocytic or collagenous colitis as two distinct histologic forms. These lymphocytic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) have various associations, commonly gluten-sensitive enteropathy, infection and while others are less commonly associated. We report a case of a 24-year-old patient with concomitant lymphocytic gastritis and microscopic colitis diagnosed via histopathologic analysis of tissue specimens from stomach and colon.

Herein, we have synthesized a Co(II)-based 2D coordination polymer [Co(5-AIA)(Imidazole)] () (AIA = 5-aminoisophthalic acid) via a solvothermal approach. SCXRD (single-crystal X-ray diffraction) was utilized to analyze the crystal structure of fabricated . Moreover, PXRD, TGA, FTIR, and SEM analyses were done to identify the structural features of fabricated .

Introduction: The role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in pituitary adenomas (PAs) is evolving especially considering its safety. Existing literature is hampered by limited sample sizes and short-term follow-ups, impeding its preeminence in the clinical and radiological outcomes. We propose a comprehensive, single-centred study to evaluate the outcomes following CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery (CK SRS) for PAs in a larger patient population, incorporating meticulous clinical and radiological follow-up.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how isomerisation in photochromic spirocompounds affects their functionality, particularly in crystalline forms.
  • Advanced femtosecond spectroscopy shows that when crystalline spiropyran is excited with a 266 nm pulse, rapid bond breaking and isomerisation occur, forming merocyanine in less than 2 picoseconds.
  • These findings indicate that the process is highly reversible and could lead to new ultrafast technologies using spiropyran-based materials.
