The case of a 89-year-old women with mammary tuberculosis is reported. The diagnosis was based on histopathological and bacteriological examinations. Chest X-ray showed a lung-pleural tuberculosis, so we considered it a secondary organ manifestation.

Shear Wave Elastography as an Supplement Tool in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Axillary Lymph Nodes.
J Ultrasound Med
January 2025
Department of Radiodiagnosis, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, India.
Objectives: To determine the efficacy of quantitative shear wave elastography in differentiating benign and malignant axillary lymph nodes (ALN).
Methods: Exactly 127 lymph nodes from 127 patients with clinically palpable axillary swelling were examined by both B-mode sonography and elastography from November 2022 to March 2024. Gray-scale sonograms were evaluated based on: the short-axis diameter, shape, hilum, maximum cortical thickness, and border of the ALN.
Efficacy and safety of KN026 and docetaxel for HER2-positive breast cancer: a phase II clinical trial.
Cancer Commun (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Medical Oncology, Cancer Hospital, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang, P. R. China.
Background: The standard first-line treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer currently includes pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of KN026, an anti-HER2 bispecific antibody, plus docetaxel in first-line treatment of HER2-positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer.
Methods: This open-label, single-arm, phase II study enrolled patients with HER2-positive recurrent/metastatic breast cancer in 19 centers across China from December 30, 2019 to May 27, 2021.
Recent developments and future directions in point-of-care next-generation CRISPR-based rapid diagnosis.
Clin Exp Med
January 2025
Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Abbassia, Cairo, 11566, Egypt.
The demand for sensitive, rapid, and affordable diagnostic techniques has surged, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, driving the development of CRISPR-based diagnostic tools that utilize Cas effector proteins (such as Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13) as viable alternatives to traditional nucleic acid-based detection methods. These CRISPR systems, often integrated with biosensing and amplification technologies, provide precise, rapid, and portable diagnostics, making on-site testing without the need for extensive infrastructure feasible, especially in underserved or rural areas. In contrast, traditional diagnostic methods, while still essential, are often limited by the need for costly equipment and skilled operators, restricting their accessibility.

Eur J Breast Health
January 2025
Department of Pathology, University of Sousse Faculty of Medicine of Sousse, Farhat Hached Teaching Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia.
Tuberculosis (TB) of the rib is an uncommon manifestation of extrapulmonary TB that can pose significant diagnostic challenges, especially when presenting as a breast mass. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with a left breast lump, initially suspected to be a plasmacytoma due to its imaging characteristics and clinical history. The mass was surgically excised, and histopathological analysis revealed granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis, suggesting TB.
