This article presents the historical control data of spontaneous tumors in Tg.rasH2 published in 2013 (2004-2012) and compares and contrasts it to more recent data collected from 2013 to 2018, reporting differences in the average percentage incidences or incidence ranges as well as the incidence of new tumors. In 2013, we published a comprehensive review of spontaneous tumors in Tg.rasH2 mice used in 26-week carcinogenicity studies, which included data from control dose groups from 26 studies and a total of 710 mice per sex. The total database, now including the more recent data, has nearly doubled the number of animals, completing to date a total of 52 studies in males and 51 studies in females for a total of 1,615 male mice and 1,560 female mice, respectively. In this article, we compare the data collected from 2004 to 2012 against the data collected from 2013 to 2018 and the overall tumor incidence change.

Sucking blister in a newborn: atypical localisation.

BMJ Case Rep

January 2025

Paediatrics, Unidade Local de Saúde São João, Porto, Portugal.

A meticulous examination of the oral cavity is an essential part of the initial newborn assessment. The differential diagnosis can involve benign and self-limiting lesions to those lesions compromising quality of life. We present a clinical case of a newborn born with a purple, hard tumour on the hard palate that spontaneously regressed, being thus compatible with the case of a sucking blister.

Monocyte-cancer cell fusion is mediated by phosphatidylserine-CD36 receptor interaction and induced by ionizing radiation.

PLoS One

January 2025

Division of Cell- and Neurobiology, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden.

Emerging evidence suggests that fusion of cancer cells with leucocytes, such as macrophages, plays a significant role in cancer metastasis and results in tumor hybrid cells that acquire resistance to chemo- and radiation therapy. However, the precise mechanisms behind the leukocyte-cancer cell fusion remain unclear. The present in vitro study explores the presence of fusion between the monocyte cell line (THP-1) and the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) in relation to the expression of CD36 and phosphatidylserine with and without treatment of these cells with ionizing radiation.

Background And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).

Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.

Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.

Cancers of the mesothelium, such as malignant mesothelioma (MM), historically have been attributed solely to exposure to asbestos. Recent large scale genetic and genomic functional studies now show that approximately 20% of all human mesotheliomas are causally linked to highly penetrant inherited (germline) pathogenic mutations in numerous cancer related genes. The rarity of these mutations in humans makes it difficult to perform statistically conclusive genetic studies to understand their biological effects.
