Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal tumors with widespread distribution throughout the body and unpredictable clinical behavior. Recently, a subset of these tumors has been reported to harbor Transcription Factor E3 (TFE3) gene rearrangement with distinct morphologic and immunophenotypic features. Although limited, these tumors may represent a separate entity from the conventional PEComas and may require different treatment approaches. Surgery is the main treatment option with no clear consensus on systemic therapy. Here, we present the first case of a malignant pediatric colonic TFE3-associated PEComa with isolated liver metastasis leading to liver transplantation for the local control.

Research progress of femoral head necrosis in HIV-infected patients.
Ann Med

Department of Joint and Sports Medicine, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
As life expectancy among patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) increases, a growing number of complications have been observed. This population displays an elevated risk of ischemic necrosis of the femoral head in comparison to the general population, which may be attributed to HIV infection, antiretroviral medication use, and hormone application. Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who also have necrosis of the femoral head tend to present at an earlier age, with a rapid disease progression and a high incidence of bilateral onset.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. Pain control is crucial for rapid mobilisation and reduces side effects as well as the length of hospital stay. In this context, a variety of multimodal pain control regimes show good pain relief, including several nerve blocks, iPACK and local infiltration analgesia (LIA).

Metastatic lateral pelvic lymph node (LPN) in rectal cancer has a significant clinical impact on the prognosis and treatment strategies. But there are still debates regarding prediction of lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and its oncological impact. This review explores the evidence for predicting lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and survival in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) for rectal adenocarcinoma is an established treatment modality for selected patients with abnormal lateral pelvic lymph nodes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging. The goal of this treatment is to achieve a true R0 resection, including lymphadenectomy, with the aim of improving patient oncological outcome, potentially at the expense of surgical and functional complications. However, there remain several areas of controversy resulting from a distinct lack of clarity regarding effective patient selection, lymph node size criteria, the role and extent of routine neoadjuvant treatment versus surgery alone in selected cases, the impact on patient survival metrics and whether the existing data are even valid in the era of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT).

The integration of environmental health (EH) into routine clinical care for children is in its early stages. The vision of pediatric EH is that all clinicians caring for children are aware of and able to help connect families to needed resources to reduce harmful environmental exposures and increase health-enhancing ones. Environmental exposures include air pollution, substandard housing, lead, mercury, pesticides, consumer products chemicals, drinking water contaminants, industrial facility emissions and, increasingly, climate change-related extreme weather and heat events.
