NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasms (NTRK-RSCNs) are rare soft tissue tumor molecularly characterized by NTRK gene rearrangement, which occurs mostly in children and young adults, and rarely in adults. The abnormal tumor located in superficial or deep soft tissues of human extremities and trunk mostly, and rarely also involves abdominal organs. In this case, we report a malignant NTRK-RSCN that occurred in the pelvic region of an adult.

Methods: The study population consisted of IBD and Ps genome-wide association study (GWAS) data.
Background: Circulating cytokines play a crucial role in the onset and progression of immune skin diseases. However, the causal relationships and the direction of causal effects require further investigation.
Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to assess the causal relationships between 41 circulating cytokines and six immune skin diseases including alopecia areata, chloasma, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), lichen planus (LP), seborrheic dermatitis, and urticaria, using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies.
Background: Prior observational studies have identified a relationship between the composition of gut microbiota and the onset of acne. To ascertain the causal relationship underlying this association, we adopted the Mendelian randomization (MR) method, which offers a powerful approach to causal inference.
Methods: Summary statistics on gut microbiota and acne were obtained from the MiBioGen and FinnGen consortium, respectively.
Background: Anal fistulas are mainly treated via surgery. They can be difficult to treat without surgical intervention. Numerous procedures, such as fistulectomy and fistulotomy, are performed to treat anal fistulas and achieve good effects.
