Primary Cutaneous Mucinous Carcinoma of Scalp: A Case Report.

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma of the scalp is a rare tumor deriving from the sweat glands. It is typically located on the head and is often mistaken for a metastasis from a more common primary tumor of the breast or gastrointestinal tract. We report a case in a 54-year-old female, who presented with a slow growing mass near the right frontoparietal region of the scalp.

Macrophage Switching in Pregnancy: Regulatory Mechanisms Governing Term Labour and Preterm Birth.

Macrophages play a pivotal role in the immune adaptations required for pregnancy, influencing both term and preterm labour (PTL) through their activation and polarisation. These immune cells originate from the yolk sac, foetal liver, and bone marrow, differentiating into diverse subtypes, including pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages. The dynamic transition between these states, termed macrophage switching, is crucial for maintaining pregnancy and orchestrating labour.

A Medium to Long-Term Study Comparing Stress Urinary Incontinence Procedures.

Background And Objectives: Concerns remain regarding the safety of the retropubic tape (TVT) procedure. We assess the efficacy, satisfaction and long-term outcomes of the TVT procedure and compare it to the autologous fascial sling (AFS), colposuspension, and urethral bulking procedures.

Methods: A review of prospective data of all patients post stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery in our tertiary center between January 2012 and December 2020 was performed.

Congenital aortic arch abnormality in tetralogy of Fallot: A rare case report.

Rationale: Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch encompass a range of malformations that may remain clinically silent or present with severe respiratory or esophageal symptoms. These anomalies are crucial to recognize due to their association with vascular rings, congenital heart disease, and chromosomal abnormalities, which have significant implications for prognosis and management. This case report highlights a rare instance of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with an aortic arch anomaly, emphasizing the importance of accurate imaging and surgical planning.
