We report a case of a simple cyst in the upper pole and connected to the mediastinum testis at the rete testis. The cyst appeared to arise from a dilated rete duct, and it was spherical, smooth-walled and filled with clear fluid. The epithelium was lined with a single layer of cuboidal or flattened cells, with no evidence of squamous differentiation.

Compared to primary pancreatic islets, insulinoma cell-derived 3D pseudoislets offer a more accessible, consistent, renewable, and widely applicable model system for optimization and mechanistic studies in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we report a simple and efficient method for generating 3D pseudoislets from MIN6 and NIT-1 murine insulinoma cells. These pseudoislets are homogeneous in size and morphology (~150 µm), exhibit functional glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) up to 18 days (NIT-1) enabling long-term studies, are produced in high yield [>35,000 Islet Equivalence from 30 ml culture], and are suitable for both and studies, including for encapsulation studies.

Despite phthalocyanine has excellent photodynamic and photothermal effects as a photosensitizer and photothermal agent, hydrophobicity and aggregation limits its biological application. In this paper, phthalocyanine-cyanine co-assembled nanoparticles were designed to modulate the dimensions and morphology by introducing water-soluble cyanine. The cyanine had the ability to transform the nanomaterials from microrods to nanospheres, thus successfully constructing photoactivated nanomedicines.

To evaluate the use of yttrium-90 (Y90) dosimetry in predicting treatment outcomes when used following transarterial radioembolization with SIR-Spheres® (Resin Y90) in patients with hepatic tumors. This single institution retrospective analysis included 100 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma or other liver metastases who underwent transarterial radioembolization with resin Y90 and had imaging follow-up within one year of treatment. Mean tumor dose and mean dose to nontumor was calculated using voxel-based dosimetry software.

The aim is to describe the sociodemographic and clinical-epidemiological profile of hospital cases of gastric cancer and to analyze factors associated with the Time-to-Treatment in Brazil. Exploratory study of sociodemographic and clinical-epidemiological characteristics of cases of gastric cancer. Time-to-Treatment were continuously estimated and then categorized into ≤ 60/> 60 days to estimate prevalence.

Objective: We evaluated the accuracy of oncologists' estimates of expected survival time in recurrent ovarian cancer.
Methods: Oncologists estimated expected survival time at baseline for each patient, who were then followed up for survival time. We hypothesized that oncologists' estimates of expected survival time would be independently significant predictors of survival, unbiased (approximately equal proportions [50%] living longer versus shorter than their expected survival time), or imprecise (<30% within 0.
