Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system: Clinicopathological features of two challenging cases
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports / 27 - April - 2024
Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT) is a rare aggressive neoplasm that mainly affects the pediatric population with a peak incidence in the first two years of life and a slight male predominance, whereas presentation of this neoplasm in older ages is extremely rare.

Annals of Medicine & Surgery / 27 - April - 2024
Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas represent a rare heterogeneous group of malignant tumors that constitute approximately 2-4% of all thyroid neoplasms. Substernal Goiter is defined as an enlargement of the thyroid gland that is located below the thoracic inlet. Malignant neoplasms arising from a substernal goiter were reported in only 2-3% of cases. This case report has been reported in line with the SCARE Criteria.

Annals of Medicine & Surgery / 10 - May - 2024
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare morbid vascular disorder that is defined as the decreasing in the aortomesenteric angle and the compression of the third part of the duodenum. This disorder mainly affects young adult females, and severe weight loss represents a leading predisposing factor.

In conclusion, despite the proposition of several mechanisms underlying the development of AF post COVID-19 including the inflammatory cytokine storm, viral endothelial damage, electrolytes abnormalities, and the decrease in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor availability, the absence of the risk factors in our case and the limited number of similar cases highlight the necessity of further studies highlighting life-threatening arrhythmia in younger ages. More efforts and attention may be

Current Research in Translational Medicine / 9 - October - 2025
Role of AI in Tumor Microenvironment Digital pathology has made a significant progress in guiding treatment strategies in cancer patients through identification of tumor microenvironment elements and their role in prognosis and resistance. Digital pathology has also enhanced our understanding of receptor-ligand binding. Spatial analyses in gastric adenocarcinoma and bladder cancer revealed that tumor cells rich in major histocompatibility II (MHC-II) molecules demonstrate a higher expression of lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3)
