Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of epididymis: A case report.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue tumor, which is the most common in the head, neck, limbs, and trunk. RMS originating from the epididymis is extremely rare. Herein, we reported a 34-year-old patient with RMS on the right epididymis.

Case Report: Robot-assisted laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery for a renal abscess mimicking a tumor.

The differential diagnosis of renal tumors and abscesses is crucial owing to their different treatments. Although antibacterial administration and radiological examination are excellent means for distinction, misdiagnosis is common and may lead to severe consequences, such as the need for nephrectomy. Here, we report a case involving a 52-year-old Asian woman with a renal mass for which a differential diagnosis was challenging.

Potential Effect of the Circadian Clock on Erectile Dysfunction.

The circadian rhythm is an internal timing system, which is generated by circadian clock genes. Because the circadian rhythm regulates numerous cellular, behavioral, and physiological processes, organisms have evolved with intrinsic biological rhythms to adapt the daily environmental changes. A variety of pathological events occur at specific times, while disturbed rhythms can lead to metabolic syndrome, vascular dysfunction, inflammatory disorders, and cancer.

Efficient reclamation of carbon fibers from epoxy composite waste through catalytic pyrolysis in molten ZnCl.

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been widely used in various fields and have inevitably produced large amounts of composite waste. The recycling of carbon fibers with high value has become an active research topic at related institutions and production enterprises. In this paper, the catalytic pyrolysis of T700 carbon fiber/epoxy composites in molten salt was studied.
