Myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable (MPN,U) has clinical, laboratory and morphological features of an MPN but fails to meet the criteria for any of the specific MPN entities. Because overlapping features, morphological findings in bone marrow, BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, V617F JAK2 mutation and cytogenetic abnormalities were analyzed in ten patients diagnosed with MPN,U. Bone marrow biopsy showed hypercellularity with trilineage myeloproliferation, dispersed megakaryocytes with mild pleomorphism and mature nuclei, and absence of reticulin fibrosis. All patients were BCL-ABL1 negative, while V617F JAK2 mutation was found in 6 of 8 patients. Trisomy 8 was found in two patients and t(6;12)(q12;p13) in one patient. Morphological features of MPN,U are nonspecific, however, in study cases they were most similar to diagnostic morphological features of polycythemiea vera. The high frequency of V617F JAK2 mutation in MPN,U cases analyzed revealed that its presence does not confirm a specific type of MPN.

species are dematiaceous hyphomycetes that are characterised by acropleurogenous, dictyoseptate, campanulate or cheiroid, and brown to dark brown conidia that are composed of several layers of cells radiating from a protuberant basal cell, and mostly seen with appendages arising from the apical cells. The genus was introduced based on morphology to accommodate five of the six species that exhibited holoblastic conidial ontogeny. was referred to as Ascomycota genus as it was challenging to resolve its taxonomic placement based solely on the available morphological data (no DNA sequence data was previously available).

Background: Studies have shown that tumor cell amino acid metabolism is closely associated with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) development and progression. However, the comprehensive multi-omics features and clinical impact of the expression of genes associated with amino acid metabolism in the LUAD tumor microenvironment (TME) are yet to be fully understood.

Methods: LUAD patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were enrolled in the training cohort.

Striatum, the input stage of the basal ganglia, is important for sensory-motor integration, initiation and selection of behavior, as well as reward learning. Striatum receives glutamatergic inputs from mainly cortex and thalamus. In rodents, the striatal projection neurons (SPNs), giving rise to the direct and the indirect pathway (dSPNs and iSPNs, respectively), account for 95% of the neurons, and the remaining 5% are GABAergic and cholinergic interneurons.

Aim: The current study aims to delineate subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), the sacrospinalis muscle, and all abdominal musculature at the L3-L5 vertebral level from non-contrast computed tomography (CT) imagery using deep learning algorithms. Subsequently, radiomic features are collected from these segmented images and subjected to medical interpretation.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis includes a cohort of 315 patients diagnosed with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) who had undergone comprehensive whole-abdomen CT scans.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the frequency of RUNX1/RUNX1T1 gene rearrangement in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analyze their clinical, hematological, and morphological features of positive patients.

Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in which newly diagnosed patients with AML were included in the study. A total of 101 AML cases were calculated from the World Health Organization (WHO) formula.
