Article Abstract
We herein report an extremely rare case of leiomyosarcoma found in the anterior mediastinum. A 79-year-old man presented to our hospital with an anterior mediastinal mass incidentally found by chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Percutaneous needle biopsy revealed the presence of an undifferentiated sarcoma. Transsternal resection of the tumor with adjacent left mediastinal pleura was performed, and pathological analysis revealed a leiomyosarcoma, which was 11 cm in diameter, with bare margins. He was followed up on an outpatient basis with no adjuvant therapy. Although mediastinal lymph node recurrence was suspected on chest CT scan 18 months after surgery, the patient remained asymptomatic and rejected any additional antitumor treatments. He died of respiratory failure after incidental traumatic spinal injury about 30 months after tumor resection.

The photoswitching of supramolecular host-guest complexes is the basis of numerous molecularly controlled macroscopic functions, such as sol-gel transition, photopharmacology, the active transport of ions or molecules, light-powered molecular machines, and much more. The most commonly used systems employ photoactive azobenzene guests and synthetic host molecules, which bind as the stable isomers and dissociate as the forms after exposure to UV light. We present a new, extraordinarily efficient cucurbit[7]uril (CB7)/diazocine host/guest complex with inverted stability that self-assembles under UV irradiation and dissociates in the dark.

Metastasis is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality and a critical issue in cancer. Monitoring the changes in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with metastatic potential is a valuable prognostic and predictive biomarker. CTCs are a rare population in the peripheral blood of patients with cancer.

UBAP2L-deficiency syndrome, also known as neurodevelopmental disorder with impaired language, behavioral abnormalities, and dysmorphic facies (NEDLBF, OMIM 620494), is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder. This condition is caused by heterozygous variant in the gene (NM_014847.4, MIM 616472), which encodes the ubiquitin-associated protein 2-like protein involved in the formation of stress granules (SGs).

The occurrence of isolated bilateral hippocampus infarct is extremely rare and is thought to be associated with a number of etiologies, including ischemia, infection, paraneoplastic syndromes, seizures, drug addiction, etc. The presented manuscript depicts a case of a 28-year-old male patient who has been a chronic alcoholic for the past 4 years and, on imaging, was found to have a bilateral hippocampal infarct in isolation. Also, the manuscript presents the appearance of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Bochdalek's flower basket, which is an anatomical variant of the choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle.

Typhoid fever is a human-specific disease caused by subspecies of Salmonella enterica (Salmonella Typhi). It spreads through ingestion of contaminated food or water and is diagnosed through blood culture or bone marrow culture. It typically presents as an intestinal infection, with a few patients developing severe disseminated infections.
