Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to examine whether specific clinical, radiological, or histological features can distinguish breast hamartomas associated with atypia/malignancy from benign hamartomas without such complications.
  • A review of 450 hamartomas from 2010 to 2023 revealed that only 4.2% were linked to atypia or malignancy.
  • Significant findings included older average age and larger size in complex hamartomas, with MRI successfully detecting malignancy in all examined cases, underscoring a need for improved detection methods.

Objective: To determine the true positivity of hepatitis b virus in anti-hepatitis B core antigen positive donors, keeping polymerase chain reaction as the gold standard.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out at the Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan, from June 1, 2014, to December 30, 2016, and comprised all blood donors who were positive for hepatitis B core antibody and negative for hepatitis B surface antigenon the basis of by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The smaples were subjected to real-time polymerase chain reaction for hepatitis B deoxyribonucleic acid detection.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accounts for 2-3% of all new cancers diagnosed. Most renal tumours have characteristic histological features, which help in their sub classification. However, some cases do show overlapping morphology which pose a diagnostic challenge for the pathologists.

Yolk sac tumors are most common tumors among the germ cell tumors (GCTs) in children, mostly involving the gonads. But yolk sac tumors involving the vagina are very rare. These usually present with per vaginal bleeding and vaginal mass.

We have used laser ablation and helium buffer-gas cooling to produce titanium-helium van der Waals molecules at cryogenic temperatures. The molecules were detected through laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Ground-state Ti(a^{3}F_{2})-He binding energies were determined for the ground and first rotationally excited states from studying equilibrium thermodynamic properties, and found to agree well with theoretical calculations based on newly calculated ab initio Ti-He interaction potentials, opening up novel possibilities for studying the formation, dynamics, and nonuniversal chemistry of van der Waals clusters at low temperatures.

Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is a rare low grade carcinoma of the breast with excellent prognosis. This case series focuses on its histopathological and clinical characteristics in our material. Cases of papillary lesions of breast from 1st January 2012 to 30th December 2014 were retrieved from the hospital database.

Solid pseudo-papillary tumour of pancreas is a rare neoplasm having a low malignant potential. It mostly affects young adolescent females. We report an unusual case of an 18 year old male with a mass in the mesocolon which was reported as solid pseudo-papillary tumour of pancreas.

We use cryogenic helium buffer-gas cooling to form large densities of lithium atoms in a high-density helium gas, from which LiHe molecules form by three-body recombination. These weakly bound van der Waals molecules are detected spectroscopically, and their binding energy is measured from their equilibrium thermodynamic properties.

Using cryogenic helium buffer-gas cooling, we have prepared dense samples of atomic lithium and molecular calcium monohydride at temperatures as low as 1 K. We have measured the Li+CaH→LiH+Ca chemical reaction, observed in both the accelerated disappearance of CaH in the presence of high densities of lithium and in the appearance of the LiH molecule.
