A total of 46 testicular biopsies were examined to define the histological characteristics of undescended testicle. Nine of the biopsied organs were normally positioned testicles from deceased pediatric patients (aged 2 months-14 years), and the remaining 37 were undescended testes from children with various degrees of cryptorchidism (aged 18 months-14 years). As reported by others, the degree of histological damage was directly proportional to the age of the subject. Close correlation between histological findings and the level of descent was not observed.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) causes widespread inflammation and damage in affected organs. Severity is determined by the type of organ systems affected and the extent of involvement. SLE occurs in childhood or adulthood and disease severity varies according to age of onset.

Cancer Rep (Hoboken)
January 2025
Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Denosumab represents a valuable treatment option for unresectable giant cell tumors of the bone (GCTBs). However, no standardized protocols exist determining the length of administration, with few studies having been published on patients who reached the end of treatment.
Aims: To analyze the outcomes of patients diagnosed with GCTB and who had finished single treatment with denosumab.
Association Between Pre-Injury Opioid Use and Opioid Use Patterns After a Work Injury.

Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined long-term opioid prescribing patterns among workers after work-related injuries, focusing on those who had received opioids before their injury.
- The research found that a significant number of workers continued to receive opioids after their injury, especially if they had been prescribed opioids in the three months leading up to the injury.
- Results indicated that 34% of workers with prior opioid prescriptions were still receiving opioids 9-12 months after their injury, compared to only 7% of those without prior use, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to consider a patient’s history with opioids when treating work injuries.
Persistent elevation of parathyroid hormone after curative parathyroidectomy: A risk factor for recurrent hyperparathyroidism.
World J Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
Background: Up to 45% of patients may have persistently elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels after curative parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), although the clinical significance is unclear. We aimed to assess the long-term clinical significance of persistently elevated PTH early after parathyroidectomy.
Methods: A prospectively collected institutional database was queried for patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for sporadic PHPT between 12/99 and 6/22 and had normal serum calcium levels at 6 months postoperatively.
Predictive value of metabolic parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient derived from 18F-FDG PET/MR in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
BMC Med Imaging
October 2024
Department of Medical Imaging, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background: Multiple models intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) based F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance(F-FDG PET/MR) could reflect the microscopic information of the tumor from multiple perspectives. However, its value in the prognostic assessment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) still needs to be further explored.
Objective: To compare the value of F-FDG PET/MR metabolic parameters and diffusion parameters in the prognostic assessment of patients with NSCLC.
