Context: Low grade oncocytic tumor (LOT) is a recently recognized renal oncocytic neoplasm with unique morphologic and immunohistochemical pattern (CK7 +, CD117 -) that differentiates them from oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChrRCC).
Objective: To further evaluate the histomorphological characteristics as well as the clinical outcome of low grade oncocytic tumors, retrospectively.
Design: Thirteen cases of LOT were identified from 463 cases of renal oncocytic neoplasm in our pathology archive. All tumors were immunostained with CK7, CD117 and other relevant markers. The pathohistological features and follow up data of these cases were recorded.
Results: Median age of patients was 76 years old (range from 36 to 86), with male to female ratio of 2:11. None of the patients had a syndromic association/hereditary condition. Eleven tumors were unifocal in each affected kidney, and two were multifocal with 2 and 3 separated tumors, respectively. On microscopic examination, tumors show variety of growth patterns, namely solid, compact nested, focal tubular/tubuloreticular and trabecular patterns. The stroma can be hypocellular and edematous where the tumor cells are loosely arranged exhibiting cords and scattered single cell arrangement. Immunohistochemically, all thirteen cases displayed strong and diffuse CK7 positivity in tumor cells. Eleven cases were CD117 negative and the other two showed focal and weak CD117 positivity (< 5% of tumor cells). Uniform tumor cell positivity was found for AE1/3, EMA, PAX8, and e-cadherin. Negative staining results include CAIX, AMACR, CD10 and vimentin. All cases in our cohort demonstrate indolent behavior and show no evidence of disease recurrence, progression, or metastases during the follow-up period up to 96 months.
Conclusion: LOT is an emerging new entity of renal oncocytic neoplasm and demonstrates indolent clinical behavior. Its unique morphologic features and immunohistochemical patterns (CK7 +, CD117 -) set them apart from oncocytoma and ChrRCC.

Background: Digital health has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing health system in the recent years, showing significant potential in improving service outcomes, particularly in low and middle-income countries where accessing essential health service is challenging. This review aimed to determine the effectiveness of short message services on focused antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, and postnatal care improvement in low and middle-income countries.
Method: Electronic databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google and Google Scholar were searched.

Objective: Bronchoscopy plays a critical role in the diagnosis and management of lung transplant recipients. We retrospectively evaluated the safety, complications, and efficacy of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) in detecting and grading early rejection.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively assessed the complications associated with TBB and the adequacy of pathological diagnoses in patients who underwent lung transplantation at Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital from December 1, 2016, to April 30, 2023.

Background: Low-grade systemic inflammation has been reported in many psychiatric diseases and is described as a non-severe state of the inflammatory response. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of avoidance, re-experiencing and hyperarousal that develop secondary to a serious traumatic event. The trauma itself creates psychological and biological changes in the individual, apart from PTSD.

Background: Despite the relatively low infection rate following transperineal prostate biopsy (TPB), it remains unresolved whether periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) can be omitted. Our aim was to compare infectious complications (genitourinary infections/GUI, fever, sepsis, readmission rate, 30-day-mortality) following TPB, considering all studies of varying levels of evidence that enable a direct comparison between patients with and without PAP.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive search in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases, as well as grey literature sources, to identify reports published until January 2024.
Clinicopathological Significance of Claudin-6 Immunoreactivity in Low-grade, Early-stage Endometrioid Endometrial Carcinoma.
In Vivo

Department of Pathology and Translational Genomics, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea
Background/aim: Dysregulation of claudin 6 (CLDN6) expression has been widely documented in various malignancies. CLDN6 is aberrantly expressed in many types of human carcinomas; however, its clinical significance in endometrial carcinoma has seldom been investigated. This study aimed to examine the immunohistochemical expression status of CLDN6 in low-grade, early-stage endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (LGES-EEC) and to assess its clinicopathological significance.
