Esophageal Carcinoma Cuniculatum.

Esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum is a rare histology and can be difficult to diagnose prior to resection. To date, there have been 28 cases of resected esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum reported. Herein we describe a case found in the stomach of a patient who previously underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Convergence between brain aging and Alzheimer's disease: Focus on mitochondria.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) accounts for the majority of dementia cases, with aging being the primary risk factor for developing this neurodegenerative condition. Aging and AD share several characteristics, including the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, synaptic loss, and neuroinflammation. This overlap suggests that mechanisms driving the aging process might also promote AD; however, the underlying processes are not yet fully understood.

Anatomic endoscopic enucleation of the prostate using a novel hybrid thulium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser generator: surgical technique and clinical outcomes.

Purpose: We aim to report here the first clinical series of patients treated with AEEP using a novel hybrid thulium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Tm:YAG) laser generator (RevoLix HTL, LISA Laser Products, Germany), i.e. capable of emitting both in pulsated and continuous-wave.
