Primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a rare tumour mainly found in children under ten years old. It may be broadly categorised into those occurring from the central or peripheral nervous system of which the majority arise centrally. We report a 61 year-old lady who had previous lobular breast cancer presenting with a rapidly expanding lesion in her anterior right upper abdominal wall. Clinically it appeared to be benign, however, histopathology of the excised lesion revealed a localised PNET. This case is an unusual case of a PNET in an adult that is peripheral in nature arising from subcutaneous tissue in the abdominal wall.

Atherogenesis is prone in medium and large-sized vessels, such as the aorta and coronary arteries, where hemodynamic stress is critical. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress contributes significantly to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Murray's law minimizes energy expenditure in vascular networks and applies to small arteries.

Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

The use of mesh repair is a frequently employed technique in the clinical management of abdominal wall defects. However, for intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM), the traditional mesh requires additional fixation methods, and these severely limit its application in the repair of abdominal wall defects. We drew inspiration from the adhesion properties of mussels for the present study, functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with dopamine (DA), and added polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to the composite to further improve the wet adhesive ability of hydrogels.

Background: Defect closure with mesh suture is a novel technique for hernia repair. Originally described as the construction of lightweight macroporous polypropylene mesh strips as a suture material, it is now available as an FDA-approved product. Mesh suture better distributes tensile forces and reduces fascial tearing compared to traditional suture but requires less implanted material and tissue dissection compared to planar mesh.
