Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite significant progress in the field leading to identification of molecular signatures of individual tumors and the development of targeted therapies, early cancer diagnosis remains a clinical challenge. The emerging era of personalized medicine has intensified research towards biomarkers that can be obtained via noninvasive means. The recent discovery of extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano-vesicles secreted by the cell, in circulation has stimulated interest in their clinical utility as cancer biomarkers. EVs are secreted from all types of cells and their contents reflect the physiological and pathological state of the cell. Multiple clinical trials are underway investigating the clinical potential of EV content to serve as biomarkers and therapeutics. However, much work remains to translate EV content into clinical application.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a heterogeneous group of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas characterised by a cutaneous infiltration of malignant monoclonal T lymphocytes. While this broad spectrum of disease with its varied etiopathogenesis, clinical features and management options are well characterised, an approach from a dermatologist's perspective is lacking in the literature. We strive to elucidate the approach from a clinician's point of view, especially in respect of clinical examination, investigations, staging and management options that are available in the realm of the dermatologists.

This was an original article, and the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of bipolar transurethral plasma kinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP) on urodynamics and sexual function in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients. One hundred and four BPH patients were divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group received transurethral resection of prostate, while the intervention group received TUKEP.

This study sought to compare bacterial abundance and diversity in milk and feces of healthy lactating women with patients suffering from lactation mastitis, explore the pathogenesis of lactation mastitis, and develop new ideas for its treatment and prevention from a microbiological perspective. A total of 19 lactating mastitis patients and 19 healthy lactating women were recruited. Milk and fecal Specimens were obtained from both groups, and microbial community structure was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
