Pancreatopleural fistulas, rare complications of chronic pancreatitis, are often overlooked in the initial differential diagnoses of pleural effusions, resulting in delayed diagnosis and management. We present the case of an elderly male with recurrent pleural effusion and a history of chronic pancreatitis. Diagnostic challenges arose, with the initial misdiagnosis as pneumonia.

Background And Aims: Neuro-ischemic ulcers (NIU) present a substantial clinical and economic burden on the healthcare systems. This study aims to evaluate their healing rate, associated healthcare resource utilization, and prognostic factors influencing healing.
Methods: Consecutive patients attended specialist clinics or admitted to wards in three tertiary hospitals for new or existing NIUs from November 2019 to November 2021 were eligible for this study.

Background: Signaling pathways centered on the G-protein ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) and its downstream effector ArfGAP with the SH3 Domain, Ankyrin Repeat and PH Domain 1 (AMAP1) drive cancer invasion, metastasis, and therapy resistance. The Arf6-AMAP1 pathway has been reported to promote receptor recycling leading to programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) overexpression in pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Moreover, AMAP1 regulates of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), which is an important molecule in inflammation and immune activation, including tumor immune interaction through PD-L1 regulation.

Background: Survival beyond one month of age is rare in children born with obstructed infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). There are limited data available on surgical outcomes of the same subset. We conducted this retrospective study to identify risk factors associated with surgical outcomes in this patient population.

To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) confer ferroptosis resistance and CD8(+) T cell inhibition in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). By the intravenous injection of LLC cells into the tail vein, a LUAD mouse model was created. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) stimulated neutrophils to facilitate NETs formation and combined with NETs inhibitor DNase I to explore NETs mechanism on LLC cell proliferation, migration, ferroptosis resistance, and CD8(+) T cell activity.
