Recent studies addressing the molecular characteristics of PCNSL, which is defined as malignant B-cell lymphoma with morphological features of DLBCL, have significantly improved our understanding of the pathogenesis of this lymphoma entity, which is associated with an inferior prognosis as compared with DLBCL outside the CNS. This unfavorable prognosis stimulated intense efforts to improve therapy and induced recent series of clinical studies, which addressed the role of radiotherapy and various chemotherapeutic regimens. This review combines the discussion of diagnosis, differential diagnosis and recent progress in studies addressing the molecular pathogenesis as well as therapeutic options in PCNSL.

A mixed phenotype is characteristic of de novo Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) but can also be seen in other leukemias. It poses substantial classification and management dilemmas. Herein, we report a large cohort of acute leukemia with a mixed phenotype and define Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Mixed Phenotype (AML-MP) and MPAL as two distinct groups by characterizing the clinical, genetic, and transcriptomic features.

Purpose: The degenerative joint disease is a temporomandibular disorder. By analysing texture parameters, it becomes possible to characterize and differentiate various tissues, based on their textural properties according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study evaluated degenerative diseases in the temporomandibular joint through texture analysis.

The role of peripheral blood platelets as indicators of cancer progression is increasingly recognized, and the significance of abnormal glycosylation in platelet function and related disorders is gaining attention. However, the potential of platelets as a source of protein site-specific glycosylation for cancer diagnosis remains underexplored. In this study, we proposed a general pipeline that integrates quantitative proteomics with site-specific glycoproteomics, allowing for an in-depth investigation of the platelet glycoproteome.

Purpose Of Review: The 2024 mpox outbreak, primarily driven by the possibly more virulent clade Ib strain, prompted the WHO declaring it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on August 14, 2024. This review provides essential guidance for clinicians managing mpox cases, as it contrasts the features of the 2024 outbreak with those of the 2022 epidemic to support better clinical decision-making.

Recent Findings: The review highlights significant differences between the 2024 and 2022 outbreaks, including total case numbers, demographic distribution, and fatality rates.

Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) can be differentiated from invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (eFV-PTC) by the presence of a tumor capsule or blood vessel invasion in histological examination. The objective of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to distinguish between NIFTP and invasive eFV-PTC before surgery. Patients diagnosed with NIFTP and invasive eFV-PTC from 2017 to 2023 were analyzed for biochemical, ultrasonographic, and cytological features.
