Case report and literature review: cardiac hematic cyst.
Front Cardiovasc Med
July 2024
Clinical Cardiology Service, Hospital Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen - EsSalud, Lima, Peru.
A 49-year-old female patient, asymptomatic, presented to the cardiology office for a right atrial mass, identified incidentally in a non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated contrast-enhanced computed tomography, performed for follow-up of pulmonary tuberculosis. Echocardiography, surprisingly, showed an anechogenic ovoid mass in the right atrium measuring 40 × 40 mm, implanted in the interatrial septum without affecting the tricuspid valve. ECG-gated computed tomography angiography (CTA), confirmed the dimensions of the mass, which presented homogeneous content, calcified areas, and a 12-mm pedicle implanted near the ostium of the coronary sinus.

Lactoferrin is a non-hematic iron-binding 80-kDa protein that exhibits antimicrobial activity. Higher plants function as "green bioreactors" for large-scale recombinant protein production. In this study, we transiently expressed recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF) in at a yield of approximately 40 µg g fresh mass (gFM) using the Tsukuba system.

Clin Chim Acta
December 2022
Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences, University of Milano-Bicocca, P.zza della Scienza 2, 20126 Milan, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: Surfactant protein-D (SP-D) is a lung-resident protein that has emerged as a potential biomarker for COVID-19. Previous investigations on acute respiratory distress syndrome patients demonstrated a significant increment of SP-D serum levels in pathological conditions. Since SP-D is not physiologically permeable to alveoli-capillary membrane and poorly expressed by other tissues, this enhancement is likely due to an impairment of the pulmonary barrier caused by prolonged inflammation.

Department of Radiology, Antonio Prudente Hospital, Fortaleza, BRA.
Congenital brain tumors are extremely rare; even with advances in prenatal imaging tests, it is still uncommon. Congenital glioblastoma (GBM) is a rare childhood tumor. With less than 50 cases described in the literature, it corresponds to less than 2% of tumors in children under two months of life.
