The sign of Leser-Trélat represents the sudden appearance of multiple seborrheic keratoses in association with an underlying malignancy. The most common associated neoplasms belong to the gastrointestinal tract, mainly the stomach and colon. In the literature, there is only one case of gallbladder carcinoma associated with the Leser-Trélat sign. Thus, the hallmark of our patient is post-renal transplant malignancy-associated Leser-Trélat, which has not been reported before. Here, we report on a 57-year-old man who presented with a sudden increase in the number and size of seborrheic keratoses, particularly on sun-exposed areas 24 years after renal transplantation. The search for an underlying malignancy showed the presence of an adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder which had metastasized to the liver.

Wnt7a-Cre is a commonly used for generating uterine epithelial conditional knockout mice, such as epiERα-/- (Esr1f/-Wnt7aCre/+) and epiPR-/- (Pgrf/-Wnt7aCre/+). We noticed that epiERα-/- females, but not epiPR-/- females, have prolonged plugging latency, which is the duration between continuous cohabitation and detection of the first vaginal plug (a sign of mating). Mating occurs in proestrus and/or estrus stages of the estrous cycle.

Background: Itch is a common clinical sign in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch-related disorders.

Summary: Short stature is a common complaint among pediatric visits and the differential diagnosis is extensive. Although some variations in growth are normal, deviation from normal growth is often the first symptom of chronic disease in children. This is true for hormone abnormalities including growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism and glucocorticoid excess.

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have emerged as a prominent tool for modeling cortical function, and yet their conventional architecture is lacking in physiological and anatomical fidelity. In particular, these models often fail to incorporate two crucial biological constraints: i) Dale's law, i.e.

Radiology insights into Petersen's hernia complication of post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Department of Medical Imaging, Gold Coast University Hospital, 1 Hospital Blvd, Southport, Queensland 4215, Australia.

Following gastrojejunostomy in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the mesentery is susceptible to Petersen's hernia due to a mesenteric gap created between the alimentary limb, transverse mesocolon, and retroperitoneum. Although the Petersen's hernia is a rare complication, it has increased due to the widespread adoption of gastric bypass surgeries for weight management and gastric cancer resections. Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to evaluate suspected cases.
