Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare neoplasm, with high mortality, originating in the bile ducts. Its incidence is higher in Eastern countries due to the endemic prevalence of liver parasites. Factors such as metabolic syndrome, smoking, and pro-inflammatory conditions are also linked to the disease.

Disruption of hypothalamic melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4Rs) causes obesity in mice and humans. Here, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of in the hypothalamus. In mice, we show that the homeodomain transcription factor Orthopedia (OTP) is enriched in MC4R neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus and directly regulates transcription.

Typical epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an unusual susceptibility to infection with specific skin-trophic types of human papillomavirus, principally betapapillomaviruses, and a propensity for developing malignant skin tumors in sun exposed regions. Its etiology reflects biallelic loss-of-function mutations in TMC6 (EVER1), TMC8 (EVER2) or CIB1. A TMC6-TMC8-CIB1 protein complex in the endoplasmic reticulum is hypothesized to be a restriction factor in keratinocytes for βHPV infection.

Hematuria in the ER patient: optimizing detection of upper tract urothelial - A pictorial essay.

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and challenging subset of the more frequently encountered urothelial carcinomas (UCs), comprising roughly 5-7% of all UCs and less than 10% of all renal tumors. Hematuria is a common presenting symptom in the emergency setting, often prompting imaging to rule out serious etiologies, with UTUC especially posing as a diagnostic challenge. These UTUC lesions of the kidney and ureter are often small, mimicking other pathologies, and are more aggressive than typical UC of the bladder, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis.

Clinical and imaging spectrum of non-congenital dominant ACTN2 myopathy.

J Neurol

January 2025

Department of Neurology and Neurosciences, Donostia University Hospital, Biogipuzkoa Health Research Institute, Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain.

Background: Alpha-actinin-2, a protein with high expression in cardiac and skeletal muscle, is located in the Z-disc and plays a key role in sarcomere stability. Mutations in ACTN2 have been associated with both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy and, more recently, with skeletal myopathy.

Methods: Genetic, clinical, and muscle imaging data were collected from 37 patients with an autosomal dominant ACTN2 myopathy belonging to 11 families from Spain and Belgium.
