Tough ectopic male breast cancer is extremely rare, non-axillary ectopic male breast cancer is even rare. To date, the natural course and prognosis of this disease are not fully understood. Consequently, the appropriate treatment for this disease has not been established. We report on a patient with ectopic male breast cancer in the suprapubic area that relapsed with hematogenous metastasis 3 years after complete surgical resection and adjuvant treatment despite an early diagnosis. This unusual case highlights the need for new prognostic factors such as genomic profiling to predict whether ectopic male breast cancer is aggressive and to guide on the duration between follow-ups and the appropriate method for conducting them.

Post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a possible complication following cardiac surgery. Digoxin is a drug with positive inotropic and negative chronotropic effects and is listed among antiarrhythmic drugs that can be prescribed in dogs with atrial fibrillation. This report aims at describing the use of digoxin in two dogs with persistent POAF after mitral valve repair.

Small Bowel Obstruction Linked to Meckel's Diverticulum: A Rare Case.

General Surgery, Local Health Unit of Alto Minho, Viana do Castelo, PRT.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, arising from incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct. MD contains all layers of the intestinal wall and often remains asymptomatic. Gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstruction, and acute diverticulitis occur in a few cases.

Background: Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a common finding during cardiac evaluation and has been linked to increased mortality. While some studies report a sex difference, most data stem from research cohorts.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of NSVT in a real-life outpatient clinic, focusing on sex differences in mortality.

We previously documented successful resolution of skeletal and dental disease in the infantile and late-onset murine models of hypophosphatasia (HPP), with a single injection of an adeno-associated serotype 8 vector encoding mineral-targeted TNAP (AAV8-TNAP-D10). Here, we conducted dosing studies in both HPP mouse models. A single escalating dose from 4x108 up to 4x1010 (vg/b) was intramuscularly injected into 4-day-old Alpl-/- mice (an infantile HPP model) and a single dose from 4x106 up to 4x109 (vg/b) was administered to 8-week-old AlplPrx1/Prx1 mice (a late-onset HPP model).

Transcriptional regulation of the piRNA pathway by Ovo in animal ovarian germ cells.

Genes Dev

December 2024

Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, Li Ka Shing Centre, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 0RE, United Kingdom

The gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the germline PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway components within the gonads of metazoan species remain largely unexplored. In contrast to the male germline piRNA pathway, which in mice is known to be activated by the testis-specific transcription factor A-MYB, the nature of the ovary-specific gene-regulatory network driving the female germline piRNA pathway remains a mystery. Here, using as a model, we combined multiple genomics approaches to reveal the transcription factor Ovo as regulator of the germline piRNA pathway in ovarian germ cells.
