Noninvoluting congenital hemangiomas (NICHs) are vascular tumors that are fully formed at birth and do not regress. Clinically, NICHs persist indefinitely over time. Histologically they are characterized by deep dermal lobules of small vessels with endothelial cells that do not stain with glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). Two similar cases of unusually large, patch-type NICHs of the shoulder in neonates were observed in the past 20 years in two pediatric dermatology units in Italy. In both cases, histopathology showed lobular collections of small vessels that did not stain with GLUT1. The clinical features of the two cases remained unchanged over a follow-up period of 10 and 4 years, respectively. The large size and flat appearance of the lesions could be due to their early onset during embryogenesis.

Department of Surgery, University Hospital "Tsaritsa Joanna - ISUL", Medical University, Str. "Byalo More" No 8, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Background: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is an uncommon and severe disorder caused by large hypersecretory tumors located in the distal colorectal area. Excessive secretion from adenomas is an unusual clinical manifestation that leads to severe electrolyte and fluid depletion, subsequently resulting in kidney injury. Successful treatment relies on quick and cooperative decision-making for timely intervention.

Background: Uterine cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of focal adenomyosis that is primarily located within the myometrium. In this case report, we present a unique case of adult uterine cystic adenomyosis found outside the uterus following laparoscopic myomectomy.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 36-year-old Chinese woman who had previously undergone laparoscopic surgery at our hospital to remove a 4 cm diameter diameter uterine fibroid six years prior.

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly with an unusually higher frequency of neuroendocrine tumors. Symptoms are rare, and, in most of the cases, are incidentally diagnosed. The clinical behavior of these tumors is heterogeneous and can be difficult to predict based on histology alone.

The ability to control the growth and orientation of neurites over long distances has significant implications for regenerative therapies and the development of physiologically relevant brain tissue models. In this study, the forces generated on magnetic nanoparticles internalised within intracellular endosomes are used to direct the orientation of neuronal outgrowth in cell cultures. Following differentiation, neurite orientation was observed after 3 days application of magnetic forces to human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells, and after 4 days application to rat cortical primary neurons.

Human glucokinase (GCK) functions as a glucose sensor in the pancreas and liver, where GCK activity regulates insulin secretion and glycogen synthesis, respectively. GCK's low affinity for glucose and the sigmoidal substrate dependency of enzymatic turnover enables it to act as a sensor that makes cells responsive to changes in circulating glucose levels. Its unusual kinetic properties are intrinsically linked to the enzyme's conformational dynamics.
