Ventricular and total brain volumes in infants with congenital heart disease: a longitudinal study.

Background: Quantitative MRI techniques help recognize delayed brain development in fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD). Ventriculomegaly became an early marker of brain dysmaturity.

Objective: Evaluate longitudinally the cerebral ventricular and total brain volumes (TBV) in infants with CHD compared to normal neonates: testing the fetal brain dysmaturity and following its progression post operatively.

Bortezomib in kidney transplantation.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of bortezomib in the recent literature for the prevention and treatment of kidney transplant rejection.

Recent Findings: Several studies have analyzed bortezomib alone and in comparison to more traditional immunosuppressive agents during the last 2 years. If administered prior to transplant or soon thereafter, bortezomib appears to lower donor-specific antibody levels and improves graft survival.

Colon cancer metastasis to mediastinal lymph nodes without liver or lung involvement: A case report.

Colon cancer is the second most common type of cancer in females and the third in males, worldwide. The most common sites of colon cancer metastasis are the regional lymph nodes, liver, lung, bone and brain. In this study, an extremely rare case of colon adenocarcinoma with extensive metastasis to the mediastinal lymph nodes without any other organ involvement is presented.
