- Plasmacytoma of the testis is a rare type of cancer that can appear as a solitary tumor or alongside multiple myeloma, with a generally good prognosis from localized treatments like surgery or radiation.

- The findings suggest that while STP is rare and its prognosis can be unclear, systemic chemotherapy may be necessary for recurrence, emphasizing the importance of long-term patient follow-up.

Pulse transit time (PTT), which refers to the travel time between two arterial sites within the same cardiac cycle, has been developed as a novel cuffless form of continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in BP parameters, including BP variability, between those assessed by beat-to-beat PTT-estimated BP (eBP) and those assessed by intermittent PTT-estimated BP at fixed time intervals (eBP) in patients suspected of having sleep disordered breathing (SDB). In 330 patients with SDB (average age, 66.

Following an increase in the use of the GIA stapler for treating a pancreatic stump, more techniques to prevent postoperative pancreatic juice leakage have been required. We describe one successful case using our new technique of invaginating the cut end of the pancreas into the stomach to prevent a pancreatic fistula (PF) from occurring. A 50-year-old woman with pancreatic cancer in the tail of the pancreas underwent distal pancreatectomy, causing a grade A PF.
