Article Abstract

Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is a pleiotropic bioactive sphingolipid metabolite capable of regulating key physiologic cell functions and promoting pathologic processes. Concerning pathology, C1P or ceramide kinase (CerK), the enzyme responsible for its biosynthesis in mammalian cells, has been implicated in cancer cell growth, survival, and dissemination and is involved in inflammatory responses associated with different types of cancer cells. The mechanisms or signaling pathways mediating these C1P actions have only been partially described. This chapter reviews recent progress in identifying signal transduction pathways involved in the promotion of cancer cell growth, survival, and dissemination by CerK and C1P.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the incidence, clinical and pathological features, and outcomes of H3 K27M- mutant Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) patients with leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) and systematically investigate the predictive and prognostic factors to clarify the response to treatment after the onset of LMD.

Methods: A total of 304 patients diagnosed with DMG from October 17, 2017, to October 17, 2023, were enrolled in this study, of which 32 patients were diagnosed with LMD. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictors of LMD, including clinical, molecular, and imaging data.

An adherent placenta is a life-threatening condition that impairs the mother's life owing to hemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Profound hemorrhage resulting from placental abruption is often managed using hysterectomy to preserve the mother's life, although the consequent loss of fertility can be devastating, particularly in younger women. Thus, strategies that facilitate fertility preservation while effectively controlling hemorrhage should be considered viable alternatives.

The necessity of prophylactic cytoreductive surgery (PCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) after complete removal is still controversial. This study aims to determine the role of PCRS + HIPEC and identify optimal strategies for managing these patients. One hundred fifty-nine patients who sought medical advice at Aerospace Center Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2011 to December 2021.

November 2024

Author Affiliations: Office of Epidemiology, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Jefferson City, Missouri (Mr Quay, Ms Harbert, and Dr Garikapaty); and Bureau of Health Care Analysis and Data Dissemination, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Jefferson City, Missouri (Mr Schramm).

There are multiple surveillance systems working to address the issue of maternal mortality in Missouri. These surveillance systems have key methodological differences in their definitions, terminology, inclusion criteria, and purpose. This study aims to provide an understanding of the practical effects of these programmatic differences regarding what cases are included and how this can impact the interpretations of the data and influence policy decisions.

SUMMARYSporotrichosis is a subacute-to-chronic infection endemic to tropical and subtropical regions. It usually involves subcutaneous tissue but can occasionally cause extracutaneous infections, especially in hyperendemic areas. Extracutaneous infections are classified based on the anatomic location of the lesion and the route of infection (primary or multifocal).
