Over the past few years, several advancements have been made to develop artificial skin that mimics human skin. Artificial skin manufactured using 3D printing technology that includes all epidermal and dermal components, such as collagen, may offer a viable solution. The skin-specific bioink was derived from digested chicken skin and incorporated into PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and gelatin.

Small intestine perforation is a serious medical condition that requires immediate medical attention. The traditional course of treatment entails resection followed by anastomosis; however, it has complications such as small bowel syndrome (SBS), anastomotic leakage, and fistula formation. Here, a novel strategy is demonstrated, that utilizes the xenogeneic, decellularized goat small intestine as a patch for small intestine regeneration in cases of intestinal perforation.

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an exceedingly rare lymphohematopoietic malignancy with morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of mature tissue histiocytes. We report a unique case of a HS with synchronous skin and gastrointestinal tract involvement which has not been reported in literature till date to the best of our knowledge. A 70-year-old male farmer presented with multiple ulcerated skin lesions ranging from 0.

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can be challenging to provide a precise diagnosis in salivary gland cytopathology due to diversity of lesions and cytomorphological convergence between the tumors and within the same tumor of salivary gland. The recently proposed Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) provides a risk stratification-based classification system with an intrinsic risk of malignancy (ROM) for each diagnostic category, which aims to furnish useful information to the clinicians. This study was undertaken to evaluate the diagnostic utility and validity of MSRSGC.

Introduction: Staphylococcus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infection, especially pneumonia, surgical site infections, blood stream infections, and continues to be a major cause of community-acquired infections. The emergence of penicillin resistance followed by the development and spread of strains resistant to the semisynthetic penicillins such as methicillin, oxacillin and nafcillin, macrolides, tetracycline, and aminoglycosides has made the treatment of staphylococcal infection a global challenge. To treat this multidrug-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the only option available is glycopeptides such as vancomycin.

Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses challenges in diagnosing classic Burkitt lymphoma (BL) due to its overlap with atypical BL and other B-cell lymphomas, especially in resource-limited settings without molecular testing.
  • Aims included quantifying diagnostic variability among pathologists with differing experience levels and evaluating the effectiveness of group discussions in improving accuracy.
  • Results showed poor initial concordance in diagnoses, but expert pathologists performed better; post-discussion, there was improved agreement, highlighting that joint meetings can reduce variability in interpreting BL cases.
