The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Thymic Epithelial Tumor Staging Project: Unresolved Issues to be Addressed for the Next Ninth Edition of the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors.

Thymic epithelial tumors are presently staged using a consistent TNM classification developed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and approved by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The stage classification is incorporated in the eight edition of the TNM classification of thoracic malignancies. The IASLC Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee (SPFC)-Thymic Domain (TD) is in charge for the next (ninth) edition expected in 2024.

Diagnostic Value of MicroRNA 21 in Endometrial Cancer and Benign Lesions and its Differential Expression with Clinicopathological Parameters.

Background: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide. Although this cancer is often diagnosed at early stages, the need for biomarkers of diagnosis remains a necessity to overcome conventional invasive procedures of diagnosis.

Objective: In our study, we aim to investigate the diagnostic value of microRNA-21 in endometrial cancer and its relation to clinicopathological features.

A prospective randomised comparison of earlier function after total hip arthroplasty with a mini posterior approach or supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip approach: a gait analysis study.

Background: The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach is a muscle sparing surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The literature reports good clinical and functional results of the SuperPATH technique in the short term. We aimed to compare early outcomes and gait analysis of THA using the mini posterior approach (MPA) and supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach.

The first biological choice in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: data from the Moroccan register of biotherapies.

Introduction: the aim of our study is to determine, from data of the Moroccan register of biotherapies, the factors influencing the choice of the first prescribed biological treatment.

Methods: cross-sectional multicenter study including rheumatoid arthritis patients who were initiated the first biological treatment either: Rituximab, an anti-TNF, or Tocilizumab. The determinants related to the patient and disease have been gathered.

Retrorectal cystic hamartoma: A case report.

Retrorectal tumors are a rare group of tumors that can be of benign or malignant origin, the differential diagnosis concerns all retrorectal tumors. We report a case of a huge retrorectal cystic hamartoma in which surgical excision was performed. A 58 years-old female presented with a low back pain and constipation.

Tuberculosis of the breast: analysis of 17 cases.

Tuberculosis constitutes a major public health problem in the world. Certain extra-pulmonary locations of tuberculosis disease are very exceptional. Amongst these, tuberculosis of the breast is rare even in countries where this infection is endemic.

Case report: a COVID-19 reactivation case.

The novel Coronavirus, named SARS-COV-2, is responsible of the COVID-19. It is a viral pneumonia that appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and is causing a pandemic. Most of patients present mild symptoms, but in many other patients, acute respiratory distress (ARDS) is more likely to be developped.

Malignant glomus tumor of the foot. Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Glomangiosarcoma or is an extremely rare tumor. Few cases are published in the literature.

Case Presentation: We present a rare case of 64-year-old female patient presented small reddish subcutaneous nodules on the sole of the foot.

Real-Time Monitoring System to Manage Mental Healthcare Emergency Unit.

Objectives: Real-time relevant information helps guide the healthcare decision-making process in daily clinical practice as well as the management and optimization of healthcare processes. However, proprietary business intelligence suite solutions supporting the production of decision-making information requires investment that is out of reach of small and mediumsized healthcare facilities or those with limited resources, particularly in developing countries. This paper describes our experience in designing and implementing a real-time healthcare monitoring system solution to manage healthcare emergency units.

Congenital Factor V deficiency: perioperative management (case report).

Factor V congenital deficiency is a rare hereditary disease, it exposes patients to hemorrhagic risk, with high morbi-mortality. Its management is a real challenge for practitioners. Perioperative management of patients with Factor V congenital deficiency needs anesthetists, hematologists and surgeons to work in close collaboration.

Monitoring Mental Healthcare Services Using Business Analytics.

Objectives: Monitoring healthcare activities is the first step for health stakeholders and health professionals to improve the quality and performance of healthcare services. However, monitoring remains a challenge for healthcare facilities, especially in developing countries. Fortunately, advances in business analytics address this need.

Expression of Histo-blood Group Antigens in Tumor and Adjacent Normal Breast Tissues as Prognostic Markers of Breast Carcinoma.

Purpose: Aberrant glycosylation of the histo-blood group antigens (including the angina bullosa haemorrhagica [ABH]) is often observed during malignant transformation in most types of carcinomas. Data concerning their ethnic distributions are diverse which explains why their biological characteristics have to be studied in different populations. Our aim was to analyze the expression of the histo-blood group (specifically the ABH) antigens in breast carcinoma.

Rare cases of head and neck's neuroendocrine carcinomas disease: Case series of 4 patients and review of the literature.

Introduction: Primary neuroendocrine carcinomas are uncommon head and neck malignancies. Their classification is still debated. We report four cases of unusual primary locations of neuroendocrine carcinomas of head and neck region emphasizing two entities and rare sites that were never described in the literature to the best of our knowledge.

Transcriptional Analysis of Human Skin Lesions Identifies Tryptophan-2,3-Deoxygenase as a Restriction Factor for Cutaneous .

Disease manifestation after infection with cutaneous species is the result of a complex interplay of diverse factors, including the immune status of the host, the infecting parasite species, or the parasite load at the lesion site. Understanding how these factors impact on the pathology of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) may provide new targets to manage the infection and improve clinical outcome. We quantified the relative expression of 170 genes involved in a diverse range of biological processes, in the skin biopsies from patients afflicted with CL caused by infection with either or .
