Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can be presented with extramedullary manifestations, more frequently involving skin and rarely other sites, such as the urinary tract. We report the case of a 37-year-old male patient with a history of testicular cancer who presented to the emergency department with cytopenias and hematuria. Bone marrow analysis diagnosed AML (French-American-British(FAB) classificationM4 subtype, karyotype showing inv16).

- - Cephalopods, like squids, have thrived in oceans for millions of years and are seen as advanced due to their large brains and complex sensory systems, exemplifying convergent evolution.
- - This study focuses on creating a reference transcriptome for the Indian squid Uroteuthis duvaucelii to enhance understanding of cephalopod evolution and expand existing knowledge databases.
- - Researchers generated 72 million short reads from various tissues (brain, eye, gill, heart, and gonads), identifying over 26,000 protein-coding sequences, and found that this squid shares numerous genes and pathways with higher vertebrates.
Rare Case of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Causing Retrobulbar Hemorrhage.

Immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) is defined as a platelet count lower than 100 × 10ˆ9/L, in the absence of known abnormalities in white blood cells, normal hemoglobin with generalized purpuric rash: making it a diagnosis of exclusion.1-2 ITP is due to destruction of platelets in the spleen via autoantibodies, resulting in reduced platelet counts.3 Though rare, ITP is linked with spontaneous retrobulbar hemorrhage (SRH).

- * A rare case showcases a 31-year-old woman with sickle cell trait who experienced severe bleeding after a C-section, leading to a diagnosis of postpartum AHA based on lab results showing elevated aPTT and factor VIII inhibitors.
- * Treatment for postpartum AHA focuses on controlling bleeding and eliminating factor VIII inhibitors, but the link between AHA and other blood disorders like sickle cell trait is still not well understood.
The Asian green mussel, Perna viridis is an important aquaculture species in the family Mytilidae contributing substantially to molluscan aquaculture. We generated a high-quality chromosome level assembly of this species by combining PacBio single molecule sequencing technique (SMRT), Illumina paired-end sequencing, high-throughput chromosome conformation capture technique (Hi-C) and Bionano mapping. The final assembly resulted in a genome of 723.
