Occurrence of a desmoid tumour in a status post appendicectomy: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Tumours can rarely develop at the site of previous appendicectomies, with limited documented cases in medical literature that call for further research.
- A 20-year-old male was found to have a large abdominal mass two months after it emerged, stemming from an appendectomy performed four years earlier.
- The tumour was surgically removed and identified as desmoid fibromatosis, highlighting the need for detailed follow-up and histopathological analysis in such cases for better patient care.
Article Synopsis
- Biosimilars can enhance patient access to treatments by providing cheaper alternatives, focusing on adalimumab and tocilizumab in several European countries.
- The study analyzed potential savings and increased patient access by evaluating costs, market share, and volume of biosimilars, with savings ranging from €10.5 to €187 million depending on country and conversion scenarios.
- Results indicate significant financial benefits and potential for treating more patients, highlighting the importance of biosimilar adoption to ease healthcare budget pressures globally.
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of exocrine glands by lymphocytic infiltration. Children and teenagers are less commonly affected. The initial symptoms of SS in teenagers might vary, depending on whether parotitis or other systemic organ involvement is present.

The field of quantum materials has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, driven by exciting new discoveries with immense transformative potential. Traditional synthetic methods to quantum materials have, however, limited the exploration of architectural control beyond the atomic scale. By contrast, soft matter self-assembly can be used to tailor material structure over a large range of length scales, with a vast array of possible form factors, promising emerging quantum material properties at the mesoscale.
