The mixture of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and butanol (BuOH) with the intercalation compound of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) with α-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) has been evaluated as a latent thermal catalyst at varying temperatures.

However, it is unclear whether tuberculosis infection increases the risk of developing adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas (ASCP), an extremely rare cancer with a poorer prognosis than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Herein, we report a case of rapid growing ASCP discovered upon a resection for neck tuberculous lymphadenitis.

- This study looked at early signs of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), specifically focal parenchymal atrophy and main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation, to better understand their progression over time.
- Out of 1,832 patients with PDAC, 320 had CT scans prior to diagnosis, and 47.8% showed suspicious findings, with focal parenchymal atrophy being the earliest sign, detected an average of 2.7 years before diagnosis.
- The research highlighted that focal parenchymal atrophy frequently appeared before MPD dilatation, with both findings progressing before diagnosis, suggesting potential markers for early detection in patients.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effects of continuing steroid therapy beyond 3 years for patients with autoimmune pancreatitis who maintained remission during an initial 3-year period.
- Out of 211 patients, those who continued steroid therapy had a lower relapse rate compared to those who stopped, but they also faced a higher risk of developing macrovascular complications.
- The findings suggest that while ongoing steroid use may prevent relapse, it also raises concerns about serious long-term health issues, particularly for patients with renal involvement.
We reported a case of Type 4 rectal cancer performed laparoscopic surgery. A 73-year-old man had diarrhea and constipation and underwent colonoscopy. From the first colonoscopy, histological findings of biopsy showed non-neoplastic cells.
