It is important to detect hepatic adenomas, which are generally well-confined lesions, as urgent treatment is required due to the risk of bleeding and conversion to malignancy. Dimensions can vary between 1 and 15 cm, and the risk of hemorrhage is higher in large and multiple-focus adenomas. The case is here presented of a patient with spontaneous ruptured liver adenoma after selective transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization for reduction of tumor mass, with discussion of the clinical, computed tomography, angiographic findings, and treatment strategies.

Report of a Rare Case of Acute Abdominal Pain Post-partum: Spontaneous Ureteral Rupture.

Cureus

December 2024

Radiology, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds, GBR.

Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, particularly unusual during pregnancy or the post-partum period. While pregnancy-related changes like ureteral compression and dilation may play a role, no definitive mechanisms have been established. Clinicians should suspect ureteric injury in post-partum patients with free pelvic fluid.

BACKGROUND Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is a common microorganism that has been associated with a variety of obstetric and neonatal complications, such as infertility, stillbirth, histologic chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, respiratory infections, and central nervous system infections. However, it is rare for it to cause severe neonatal asphyxia. This rarity is the focus of our case report, which aims to highlight the potential severity of UU infections in newborns.

Primary hepatic carcinosarcoma (HCS) is an extremely rare malignant tumor with carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. Few reported cases of HCS exist, especially with sufficient records to describe imaging and pathological features, making the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HCS a significant challenge for physicians. Here, we report a case of HCS with spontaneous rupture as the initial symptom in a 77-year-old elderly male who was admitted with right upper abdominal pain for 8 days.

How SNARE proteins generate force to fuse membranes.

Biophys J

January 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027. Electronic address:

Membrane fusion is central to fundamental cellular processes such as exocytosis, when an intracellular machinery fuses membrane-enclosed vesicles to the plasma membrane for contents release. The core machinery components are the SNARE proteins. SNARE complexation pulls the membranes together, but the fusion mechanism remains unclear.
