Filariasis is a major health issue of tropical and subtropical regions and is endemic in India. It is rarely seen in cytological smears, exfoliative scrapings or in effusions. We present the case of a 29-year old female with filaria found on cytological examination of both breast and ovary.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome - Be in need of vigilance: A case report.
J Family Med Prim Care

Department of Surgery, Datta Meghe Medical College, DMIHER University, Wardha, Maharashtra, India.
Peutz-Jeghar syndrome (PJS) is an inherited condition that puts people at an increased risk for developing hamarotmatous polyps in the digestive tract as well as cancers of the breast, colon, rectum, pancreas, stomach, testicles, ovaries, lung and cervix. With typical presentation, majority cases of PJS can be diagnosed in childhood. PJS is inherited by mutation in the STK II gene, also known as LKB1 gene.

Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) data from human samples has been leveraged to develop "epigenetic clock" algorithms that predict age and other aging-related phenotypes. Some DNAm clocks were trained using DNAm obtained from blood cells, while other clocks were trained using data from diverse tissue/cell types. To assess how DNAm clocks perform across non-blood tissue types, we applied DNAm algorithms to DNAm data generated from 9 different human tissue types.

Administration, Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo, Norway.
The protective effect of parity has been demonstrated for cancer of the breast, ovary, and endometrium but no studies have estimated the effect of each subsequent birth in women with 10 or more children or grand-grand parity women, nor compared the linear relationship of the three cancers sites. Here, we aim to explore these relationships based on the Norwegian 1960 Census. The question of parity in present marriage was answered by 385,816 women born 1870-1915, a period with high fertility.

Department of Pediatrics, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, 325200 Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: This study aims to explore the diagnostic significance of basal sex hormone levels and pelvic B-mode ultrasound in the context of central precocious puberty (CPP) in female children.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2014 to January 2024. The study enrolled female children exhibiting early breast development before the age of 8 and subjected them to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation tests.
Ovarian Adult Granulosa Cell Tumors: A Scoping Review of DNA Alterations and Their Known Significance.
Anticancer Res
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Molecular Unit, Herlev Hospital, University of Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark.
Background/aim: Adult granulosa cell tumor (aGCT) is a rare and challenging ovarian tumor due to its unpredictable recurrence and its associated increased risk of breast and endometrial cancer. Identifying and describing molecular alterations in tumors has become common with the advent of high-throughput sequencing. However, DNA sequencing in rare tumors, such as aGCT, often lacks statistical power due to the limited number of cases in each study, thereby clinical implications of DNA alterations are difficult to interpretate.
