Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a rare salivary gland neoplasm. It is most commonly seen in the parotid gland, and its involvement in the minor salivary glands or upper respiratory tract is very rare. Surgical excision and/or radiotherapy are the mainstay treatment modalities. The nasopharynx is an unusual location for salivary gland basal cell adenocarcinoma. In this case report, the nasopharyngeal punch biopsy of a 60-year-old male patient was reported as salivary gland adenoma, but the final pathological diagnosis was changed to basal cell adenocarcinoma after endoscopic nasopharyngectomy. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of the case are presented in light of the literature. In addition, diagnostic clues are emphasized in cases of suspected non-epithelial tumors of the nasopharynx.

The Genetic Causal Effect of Autoimmune Diseases on pan-Cancers: Evidence from Mendelian Randomization.
J Cancer
January 2025
Department of Spinal Surgery, Tianjin Union Medical Center, Tianjin, China.
Whether autoimmune diseases caused any effects on the risk of cancers remained yet clarified. This study aimed to investigate the causal effect of autoimmune diseases on pan-cancers through mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The GWAS summary datasets of 10 autoimmune diseases were derived from the IEU or UK biobank website.

Internal Medicine, Coimbatore Medical College, Coimbatore, IND.
Pancreatogenic diabetes also known as type 3c diabetes mellitus (DM) is a distinct entity often overlooked and misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It results from exocrine pancreatic dysfunction involving both insulin and glucagon deficiencies due to damage to pancreatic beta and alpha cells. This case highlights a 46-year-old male presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a rare but severe complication of type 3c DM.

Article Synopsis
- Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) react to mechanical stimuli like stiffness and fluid viscosity, which impacts their behavior.
- In environments with high fluid viscosity, hMSCs favor an osteogenic (bone-forming) phenotype over an adipogenic (fat-forming) one by altering their actin structure and enhancing cellular activities.
- This research highlights fluid viscosity as an important factor that not only influences hMSC differentiation but also encourages a more immunosuppressive M2 macrophage phenotype.
High-dose intravenous BCG vaccination induces enhanced immune signaling in the airways.

Intradermal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the most widely administered vaccine, but it does not sufficiently protect adults against pulmonary tuberculosis. Recent studies in nonhuman primates show that intravenous BCG administration offers superior protection against (). We used single-cell analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage cells from rhesus macaques vaccinated via different routes and doses of BCG to identify alterations in the immune ecosystem in the airway following vaccination.

Graduate Program in Immunology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe human disease. During late infection, EBOV virions are on the skin's surface; however, the permissive skin cell types and the route of virus translocation to the epidermal surface are unknown. We describe a human skin explant model and demonstrate that EBOV infection of human skin via basal media increases in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner.
