Background: Most cutaneous hemangiomas involute spontaneously. However, the lesion existing on the face poses a cosmetic problem during the waiting period for involution.
Methods: Hemangioma showing late involution was treated by local injection of monoethanolamine oleate solution.
Results: The lesion flattened and was excised serially.
Conclusion: Sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine oleate can shorten the waiting period for involution and can decrease the risk of psychosocial trauma. Moreover, it provides good preparation for further surgery. Such sclerotherapy is effective in the treatment of hemangioma with late involution.

Accurate identification of cows' likelihood of conception during the period from recent calving to the first artificial insemination (AI) will provide assistance in managing the fertility of dairy cows and contribute to the economic prosperity and sustainability of the farm. The purpose of this study was to use FTIR spectroscopy collected from recent calving to the first artificial insemination (AI) to predict the cow's likelihood of conception to first AI, first or second AI. This study specifically focused on the role of FTIR spectral and farm data collected at different time windows in improving the accuracy of model for predicting the cow's likelihood of conception to first AI, first or second AI.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are associated with improved response in solid tumors treated with immune checkpoint blockade, but understanding of the prognostic and predictive value of TLS and the circumstances of their resolution is incomplete. Here we show that in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy, high intratumoral TLS density at the time of surgery is associated with pathologic response and improved relapse-free survival. In areas of tumor regression, we identify a noncanonical involuted morphology of TLS marked by dispersion of the B cell follicle, persistence of a T cell zone enriched for T cell-mature dendritic cell interactions and increased expression of T cell memory markers.

Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) represent a well-known cluster of rare lung malformations affecting 1 in 2500 live births. The natural history of many CPAMs is to increase their size in the second trimester, reach a plateau, and, in about 50% of cases, regress and to become barely detectable during the third trimester. Little is known about cases of affected neonates born prematurely: only six cases are described in the literature, recording different conduct and outcomes.

Transcriptome analysis was performed on the thymus of Japanese Black calves that were necropsied due to poor prognosis, to characterize changes associated with acute thymic involution. Gene expression profiles obtained by DNA microarray analysis of eight calf thymuses were classified into three patterns that correlated with the histopathological stage of acute thymic involution. Using principal component analysis, the first principal component of the global gene expression levels in the calf thymus was associated with the stage of acute thymic involution, suggesting that histopathological changes greatly influence the gene expression profile.

Introduction: The thymus normally forms in the neck from the third pharyngeal pouch and descends to its normal position in the mediastinum. Arrest of descent or sequestration of thymic tissue can occur at any point along its path leading to an ectopic thymus which can present as a neck mass, usually in the paediatric age group.
Purpose And Case Report: Ultrasound is generally performed in the presence of a neck mass in children.
