Neuroendocrine Lesions Arising From Mediastinal Teratoma-A Case Report and Literature Review.

Neuroendocrine lesions arising from mediastinal teratomas are rare tumors with only small number of patients reported in literature. The behavior of these lesions appears to be different from traditional neuroendocrine neoplasms. A comprehensive review will be valuable for histologic assessment and treatment planning for similar cases.

Effects of a 12-week telehealth exercise intervention on gait speed and gait deviations in adults with Down syndrome.

Background: Altered gait patterns and reduced walking speed are commonly reported in adults with Down syndrome (DS). Research on the effects of DS-specific exercise programmes on adults with DS is lacking. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to evaluate the changes in gait deviations and walking speed in adults with DS after a DS-specific exercise programme.

Synthesis, Structure, and Photophysical Properties of Platinum Compounds with Thiophene-Derived Cyclohexyl Diimine Ligands.

Platinum(II) and platinum(IV) compounds were prepared by the stereoselective and regioselective reactions of thiophene-derived cyclohexyl diimine C^N^N-ligands with [PtMe(μ-SMe)]. Newly synthesized ligands were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and Pt(II)/Pt(IV) compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. UV-vis absorbance and photoluminescence measurements were performed on newly synthesized complexes, as well as structurally related Pt(II)/Pt(IV) compounds with benzene-derived cyclohexyl diimine ligands, in dichloromethane solution, as solids, and as 5% by weight PMMA-doped films.

Emerging role of radiogenomics in genetically triggered thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection: a narrative review.

Background And Objective: Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) and its complications are life-threatening conditions. Hypertension and atherosclerosis had all along been recognized as the predominant risk factors for the development of TAAD. However, it was increasingly reported that genetic factors, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are playing an important role in the disease development.
