Introduction: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a common form of liposarcoma with challenging treatment modalities. Pan-TRK immunopositivity can be often observed without NTRK gene fusion in soft tissue sarcomas with myogenic differentiation. Expression and the role of NTRK in DDLPS are under-studied.

Due to the relatively high recurrence rate and the destructive nature of the tumor, the treatment of giant cell tumor is still a challenge. Denosumab appeared to be a promising candidate as a therapeutic drug. However, several studies have reported that tumors can recur during/after treatment with denosumab.

Article Synopsis
  • Nodular fasciitis (NF) is known to be self-limited, but its underlying mechanisms are still unclear; the study found that younger cases of NF show a higher percentage of USP6 break-apart signals compared to older cases.
  • It was shown that a higher percentage of USP6 break-apart signals correlates negatively with the lifetime of the tumor while having a positive relationship with mitotic counts, indicating a potential mechanism for NF's self-limiting behavior.
  • The research supports a negative feedback loop involving USP6 that may lead to apoptosis and cellular aging in NF tumors, highlighting the need for careful interpretation of genetic data for clinical diagnostics.

Background: At least 17% of the population suffers from osteoarthritis (OA) in Hungary, according to the European Health Interview Survey. In Hungary, until now there was no OA-specific questionnaire available for the lower limb, in order to monitor the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This gap gave the relevance of this research.

Although the Human Genome Project discovered the sequence of the human genetic information 15 years ago, genetic background of the diseases - primarily that of complex disorders - is still not known. The sum of the not yet discovered inherited risk factors is termed the missing heritability; the identification of these genetic components is, however, essential, as it is the base of the understanding of the molecular pathomechanism of diseases. It is not only of theoretical importance: this knowledge can be used in the clinical practice, as it offers the possibility of improvement of diagnostics, prevention as well as targeted and individualized therapy.

We have read several publications of great authority on the neurological profession in the last two years in which were expressed assessments of the current situation combined with opinions about neurology and the necessity to reorganize neurological patient care. These articles took up the question of neurorehabilitation too. The authors, who on a daily basis, deal with the rehabilitation of people with disabilities as a consequence of neurological conditions, summarize some important definitions of rehabilitation medicine and the present system of neurological rehabilitation, as it is defined by the rehabilitation profession.
