Two-Scope Technique for Tracheal Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma-A Rare Case Report and Review.

Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is an exceptionally uncommon salivary gland type tumour of the lung accounting for only 0.1% to 1% of all primary pulmonary malignancies. We describe a 40-year-old man presenting with hemoptysis, in whom computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed an endoluminal mass in the upper trachea.

Trends of Brain Stimulation Research in Substance Use Disorder: A Review of ClinicalTrials.gov Registered Trials and Their Publications.

Purpose Of The Review: Brain stimulation techniques targeting neuronal pathways are evolving as a novel therapeutic option for substance use disorders. This study aims to provide an overview of the current research landscape on brain stimulation in addiction psychiatry by analyzing data from ClinicalTrials.gov.

Amantadine-induced psychosis in Wilson disease.

Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder of copper metabolism causing hepatic dysfunction and neuro-psychiatric manifestations. While psychosis in Wilson disease is uncommon, it can occur, especially with certain medications. We describe a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with Wilson disease who developed psychotic symptoms following the initiation and dose escalation of amantadine, a drug commonly used to treat parkinsonism associated with the disorder.

The master impersonator: Pulmonary tuberculosis mimicking diffuse cystic lung disease - A mini case series of a rare presentation.

Pulmonary tuberculosis has diverse clinical presentations. Cysts in the lung can arise due to large number of causes out of which tuberculosis is very rare. We report two immunocompetent cases of pulmonary tuberculosis who presented with multiple cysts in the lung parenchyma.

C-terminal region of Mad2 plays an important role during mitotic spindle checkpoint in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

The mitotic arrest deficiency 2 (Mad2) protein is an essential component of the spindle assembly checkpoint that interacts with Cdc20/Slp1 and inhibit its ability to activate anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). In bladder cancer cell line the C-terminal residue of the mad2 gene has been found to be deleted. In this study we tried to understand the role of the C-terminal region of mad2 on the spindle checkpoint function.

Studies on antioxidative enzymes induced by cadmium in pea plants (Pisum sativum).

Pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Swati) exposed to different concentration of cadmium (50,100, 200 microM Cd) under controlled glass house conditions were quantified for different physiological parameters and antioxidative enzymes. In pea plants, Cd produced a significant inhibition of growth and induced chlorosis, marginal yellowing and necrosis in young leaves, the effect being most pronounced at 200 microM Cd supply.
