A case of giant cell tumor in a vertebra affected by Paget's disease of bone is presented. This lesion, which is quite rare, has usually been observed in the bones of the skull and face, and is benign. It is probably hyperplastic rather than neoplastic in nature. Radiotherapy is contraindicated, since bone affected by osteitis deformans may possibly become malignant.

A 75-year-old woman with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with isolate ocular symptoms, including a left scleral hematoma, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Initial evaluation combined with isolated ocular symptoms raised concerns for giant cell arteritis rather than an SLE flare. Thus, prompt initiation of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (250 mg every six hours) was warranted.

The rapid emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogenic microbes has accelerated the search for novel therapeutic agents. Here we report the discovery of antarmycin A (), an antibiotic containing a symmetric 16-membered macrodiolide core with two pendant vancosamine moieties, one of which is glucosylated, from deep-sea-derived SCSIO 07407. The biosynthetic gene cluster of was identified on a giant plasmid featuring transferable elements.

The emerging prevalence of antimicrobial resistance demands cutting-edge therapeutic agents to treat bacterial infections. We present a synthetic strategy to construct sequence-defined oligomers (SDOs) by using dithiocarbamate (DTC). The antibacterial activity of the synthesized library of SDOs was studied using a Gram-positive and a Gram-negative .

Chondrosarcoma-like malignant giant cell tumor (GCT) of the rib is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor, particularly in adolescents. This case report describes a 19-year-old female presenting with a GCT of the rib with chondrosarcomatous differentiation, highlighting the challenges posed by its unusual location and pathological complexity. Multidisciplinary diagnostic approaches, including advanced imaging, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and pathology, were essential for confirming the diagnosis.

In 2024, CD19-CAR T cells are ubiquitous in rheumatology, with incredible therapeutic results in cases of severe and refractory disease. This major advance confirms the interest of the B lymphocyte as a therapeutic target, and also suggests the real possibility of a drug-free remission, at the price of minor and minimal side effects for the time being. However, the necessary perspective is still lacking for a therapy that remains out of reach because of its price.
