Thoracic Segmental Anesthesia for Major Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery in a Heart Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.

We describe the case of a 72-year-old male suffering from Marfan syndrome, who, because of cardiac abnormalities correlated to the syndrome, received an orthotopic heart transplant four years ago. In 2024, he was diagnosed with right colon cancer. The decision to operate was difficult because of the elevated perioperative risk.

The carbonyl nucleobase adduct MAde is a potent antigen for adaptive polyclonal MR1-restricted T cells.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related molecule MHC-class-I-related protein 1 (MR1) presents metabolites to distinct MR1-restricted T cell subsets, including mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and MR1T cells. However, self-reactive MR1T cells and the nature of recognized antigens remain underexplored. Here, we report a cell endogenous carbonyl adduct of adenine (8-(9H-purin-6-yl)-2-oxa-8-azabicyclo[3.

EMG-assessed paratonia: A novel approach to investigating motor response inhibition in healthy subjects.

Paratonia is an involuntary muscle activity that occurs during passive joint mobilization and is common in people with dementia. It includes oppositional paratonia, in which muscle activity resists passive movement, and facilitatory paratonia, in which it assists movement. This phenomenon reflects a defect in motor response inhibition.

Breast conservation and oncoplastic surgery are associated with improved quality of life.

Introduction: Local treatment can be distressful to breast cancer patients. We aimed to evaluate how different types of local treatment impact the quality of life of patients.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, one-year postoperative Breast-Q Satisfaction with Breasts scores were used as a surrogate for Quality of Life.

Characteristics and Survival Outcomes of Male Breast Cancer in Brazil: A Large Population-Based Study.

Aims: This study evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment trends, and overall survival (OS) in male breast cancer (BC) in Sao Paulo State of Brazil.

Materials And Methods: Men diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between January 2000 and June 2020 were identified from Fundação Oncocentro de Sao Paulo database encompasses data pertinent to 46 million residents of the Sao Paulo State of Brazil. Patients were described according to age, education level, clinical stage, treatment modalities, and medical practice.
