Article Abstract
Granular cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon benign soft tissue neoplasm, which usually presents as a solitary nodule, appearing especially in the tongue. There are few cases of multiple oral GCT in the English-language literature, with only three cases reported in the last 20 years. This report describes a case of two oral GCT in a young patient and provides a literature review from 1995 to 2015. Clinical characteristics of the reviewed cases were retrieved and compared with the present case. Exceptionally, the current case was the only one that occurred in an adolescent and solely affected the oral cavity. Besides the oral cavity, the other cases also observed GCT lesions in the skin. Although rare, it is important to know multiple oral GCT clinical and histopathological characteristics so they can be correctly diagnosed, treated and followed up.

Early Prediction of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Insulin Therapy Requirement Using First-Trimester PAPP-A and Free β-hCG MoMs Levels: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Perinatology, University of Health Sciences Etlik Zübeyde Women's Health Care Training and Research Hospital, 06010 Ankara, Turkey.
To evaluate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), including insulin-dependent GDM with pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) multiples of the median (MoM) and free beta human chorionic gonadotropin (free β-hCG) MoM levels, and to assess their potential as predictive risk factors. This retrospective study included 2588 women with singleton pregnancies who underwent combined first-trimester screening, along with the 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) and a 100 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation. Patients were initially divided into four groups based on the glucose screening results, and PAPP-A and free β-hCG MoMs were compared between these groups.

Objective In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between body fat percentage (BFP) and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods We conducted a cohort study involving 336 singleton pregnant women attending an antenatal care clinic before 14 weeks of gestation. Body composition was measured during their first antenatal visit by using a multi-frequency segmental body composition analyzer.

Article Synopsis
- Tongue pressure (TP) significantly drops in esophageal cancer patients after esophagectomy, but gum-chewing training (GCT) has been shown to boost TP in healthy individuals.
- This study tested whether perioperative GCT could lower the rate of TP decline and mitigate complications in thoracic esophageal cancer patients post-surgery.
- Results showed that only 44% of patients in the gum-chewing group experienced reduced TP after surgery, compared to 76% in the historical control group, and the gum-chewing group also had fewer fever days post-operation.
Problems in screening for gestational diabetes mellitus by measurement of casual blood glucose levels at 24-28 gestational weeks.

Aims/introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the problems in screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by casual blood glucose (CBG) measurements at 24-28 gestational weeks.
Materials And Methods: Overall, 763 pregnant women who underwent the 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) at 24-28 gestational weeks were enrolled. The preload blood glucose (0-h BG) level of 50-g GCT was considered as CBG.
Case report: Giant cell tumor of bone in the mandible of a goat-diagnostics, surgical treatment, and outcome.

Neoplastic processes of the mandible and their treatment are rarely reported in large animal species. Specifically, giant cell tumor of bone is an uncommon tumor in animals and has been associated in humans with locally invasive behavior and a high recurrence rate. En-bloc resection is the treatment of choice, but depending on the localization of the tumor, this may result in functional deficits.
