Background:  Radiological reports of pancreatic lesions are currently widely formulated as free texts. However, for optimal characterization, staging and operation planning, a wide range of information is required but is sometimes not captured comprehensively. Structured reporting offers the potential for improvement in terms of completeness, reproducibility and clarity of interdisciplinary communication.

Method:  Interdisciplinary consensus finding of structured report templates for solid and cystic pancreatic tumors in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with representatives of the German Society of Radiology (DRG), German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV), working group Oncological Imaging (ABO) of the German Cancer Society (DKG) and other radiologists, oncologists and surgeons.

Results:  Among experts in the field of pancreatic imaging, oncology and pancreatic surgery, as well as in a public online survey, structured report templates were developed by consensus. These templates are available on the DRG homepage under www.befundung.drg.de and will be regularly revised to the current state of scientific knowledge by the participating specialist societies and responsible working groups.

Conclusion:  This article presents structured report templates for solid and cystic pancreatic tumors to improve clinical staging (cTNM, ycTNM) in everyday radiology.

Key Points:   · Structured report templates offer the potential of optimized radiological reporting with regard to completeness, reproducibility and differential diagnosis.. · This article presents consensus-based, structured reports for solid and cystic pancreatic lesions in CT and MRI.. · These structured reports are available open source on the homepage of the German Society of Radiology (DRG) under www.befundung.drg.de..

Cystic Basal Cell Carcinoma with a Giant Vulvar Cyst.

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat

November 2024

Takayuki Suyama, MD, PhD, Department of Dermatology, Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center, 2-1-50 Minami-koshigaya, Koshigaya, Saitama, 343-8555, Japan; ORCID ID: 0000-0002-6986-411X.

Cystic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare subtype of BCC (1). Histologically, it is usually characterized by multiple small cysts without a clinical cystic appearance (2). Herein, we report an unusual case of cystic BCC with a large vulvar cyst.

A Pediatric Case of Multiple Bilateral Symmetric Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma.

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat

November 2024

Prof. Ilke Beyitler, Near East University, Faculty of Medicine, Near East Boulevard, Nicosia, Cyprus;

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign skin neoplasm characterized by an increased size and number of eccrine glands or ducts, along with proliferation of vascular structures in the dermis. This case is unique in its presentation of bilateral symmetrical nodules on both hands and the development of new nodules during puberty. It highlights the need for further research and understanding of this rare condition and its potential progression over time.

Stabilizing Lattice Oxygen of Bi2O3 by Interstitial Insertion of Indium for Efficient Formic Acid Electrosynthesis.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, State Key Laboratory of Electronic Thin Films and Integrated Devices, No. 2006, Xiyuan Avenue, High-tech Zone (West Area), 610054, Chengdu, CHINA.

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) emerges as a potent catalyst for converting CO2 to formic acid (HCOOH), leveraging its abundant lattice oxygen and the high activity of its Bi-O bonds. Yet, its durability is usually impeded by the loss of lattice oxygen causing structure alteration and destabilized active bonds. Herein, we report an innovative approach via the interstitial incorporation of indium (In) into the Bi2O3, significantly enhancing bond stability and preserving lattice oxygen.

Scutellarein Inhibits Osteosarcoma Growth by Targeting the TLR4/TRAF6/NF-κB Pathway.

Drug Des Devel Ther

January 2025

Department of Trauma Orthopedics, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University, Jining, Shandong, 272007, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant tumor associated with poor patient outcomes and a limited availability of therapeutic agents. Scutellarein (SCU) is a monomeric flavone bioactive compound with potent anti-cancer activity. However, the effects and mechanisms of SCU on the growth of OS remain unknown.

( ) is the world's most deadly infectious pathogen and new drugs are urgently required to combat the emergence of multi-(MDR) and extensively-(XDR) drug resistant strains. The bacterium specifically upregulates sterol uptake pathways in infected macrophages and the metabolism of host-derived cholesterol is essential for long-term survival Here, we report the development of antitubercular small molecules that inhibit the cholesterol oxidases CYP125 and CYP142, which catalyze the initial step of cholesterol metabolism. An efficient biophysical fragment screen was used to characterize the structure-activity relationships of CYP125 and CYP142, and identify a non-azole small molecule that can bind to the heme cofactor of both enzymes.
