Published: April 2024

Giant Cell Tumors of the skull are rare and mostly occur in the middle cranial fossa. Radiological investigations serve as adjunct modalities; however, histopathological confirmation is mandatory. Ten to forty% of GCTs may be recurrent. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice, however, partial resection with adjuvant radiotherapy can serve as a secondary alternative. Recurrent cases require post-op radiotherapy. Here, we describe a case of recurrent giant cell tumor of sphenoid bone in a young male, who underwent surgical resection twice, after which he was advised adjuvant radiotherapy and denosumab. The patient did not take radiotherapy.

Objectives: We applied the 2022 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European Alliance of Association for Rheumatology (EULAR) criteria to Korean patients previously diagnosed with giant cell arteritis (GCA) according to the 1990 ACR criteria and validated its clinical efficiency.

Methods: Nine patients with GCA were included in this study. The proportion of patients meeting each item of the 1990 ACR criteria and the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria were assessed.

Benign disorders of the mediastinum: a narrative review.

Mediastinum

September 2024

Divisions of Critical Care, Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, McGovern Medical School, The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth), Houston, TX, USA.

Background And Objective: There are several benign processes that affect the mediastinum with considerable morbidity that may range from reactive entities to neoplastic disorders. This review article will focus on non-neoplastic benign mediastinal diseases which include large vessel vasculitis such as Takayasu and giant cell arteritis, mediastinal granulomas, fibrosing mediastinitis and mediastinal infections. These diseases can cause significant morbidity and mortality; therefore, we aim to familiarize readers with the pathophysiology, epidemiology and diagnosis of these mediastinal diseases and provide an update on the treatment options available.

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity often triggers significant interest in associated electronic and structural symmetry breaking phenomena. For the infinite-layer nickelates, structural allotropes are investigated intensively. Here, using high-energy grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction, we demonstrate how in-situ temperature annealing of the infinite-layer nickelate PrNiO ( ≈ 0) induces a giant superlattice structure.

Objective: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) may present as proximal aortic pathology requiring surgical intervention. We present our experience with surgical management of GCA in patients presenting with proximal aortic disease.

Methods: From January 1993 to May 2020, 184 adult patients were diagnosed with GCA on histopathology after undergoing cardiac surgery.

Implant failure of the Compress prosthesis: a case report.

J Med Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya University Hospital, 65 Tsurumai, Showa, Nagoya, Aichi, 466-8550, Japan.

Background: The Compress is designed to achieve bone formation and stability by applying pressure at the bone-implant interface, minimizing the likelihood of aseptic loosening, which is a complication of stem implants. Herein, we report two cases of implant failure using the Compress.

Case Presentation: Case 1 describes a 36 year-old Japanese man who underwent extraarticular tumor resection, Compress arthroplasty, and reconstruction with a gastrocnemius flap after preoperative chemotherapy for a secondary malignant giant cell tumor in the right distal femur.
