Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common urological cancer globally and shows a favorable prognosis in early stages of the tumor progression. Due to the poor prognosis for metastatic RCC patients, it is crucial to explore the molecular biology of RCC progression to establish efficient diagnostic and therapeutic markers for these patients. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical roles in regulation of tumor cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis during RCC progression.

A young male with no known addictions and comorbidities presenting with recurrent clonic-myoclonic movements, initially localized to the left corner of the mouth and left upper limb, evolving into epilepsia partialis continua, despite appropriate sequential antiepileptic medications, subsequently progressed to refractory status epilepticus. He was tested positive for HIV infection and his neuroimaging revealed nonenhancing lesions, a novel finding in HIV-related encephalitis. We managed him with intravenous immunoglobulin along with multiple antiepileptic medications and highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART), and he exhibited a rapid clinical recovery over 3 weeks.

Coats disease is a rare abnormality characterized with retinal telangiectasia and aneurysms with retinal exudation, most often seen in young males and usually affecting only one eye. A 12-year-old boy came in with a three-month history of vision loss and pain in his right eye, alongside progressively worsening blurred vision over the last year. His visual acuity was reduced to only light perception in the right eye, while his left eye maintained 5/5 vision.

Introduction: Hepatitis B and C are viral infections causing chronic liver inflammation and, when left untreated, lead to cirrhosis and a risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of primary liver cancer with high mortality. The hepatitis B virus-hepatitis C virus (HBV-HCV) coinfection leads to a faster progression to advanced liver diseases and higher hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk than monoinfection. Unlike the relative risk for HCC due to either HBV or HCV, no recent analysis of the risk for HBV-HCV coinfection exists.
