Article Abstract
Introduction And Importance: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common form of malignancy that causes many deaths worldwide. One of the RCC cases that is challenging and requires proper treatment is a large tumor. This report explores the delayed presentation and treatment of giant RCC.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man came to the referral hospital with a mass in the left pelvis 10 years ago. The patient had been experiencing left flank pain and intermittent hematuria for the past 6 months. Physical examination showed an abdominal mass 20 × 26 cm, cystic consistency, and fixed. A Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed a cystic mass measuring 9.5 × 22.7 × 26.37 cm. The patient underwent a left radical nephrectomy with a chevron incision. The kidney mass was completely removed, and no residual mass or other bleeding was found from the evaluation results. The patient was discharged on the 3rd day after surgery.
Clinical Discussion: There was a delay in early detection so the tumor size became large. RCC is considered rare because of its slow growth rate and early detection with imaging techniques. Nephrectomy is the recommended treatment option. All patients should undergo long-term surveillance with routine imaging after nephrectomy to detect recurrent disease early, in this case, the patient is routinely examined every 6 months at follow-up visits.
Conclusion: Once a case of giant renal cancer is diagnosed, immediate action must be taken to avoid patient morbidity and mortality.

In this study, Fe-Ni-layered double hydroxide modified crayfish shell biochar substrate (Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC) was successfully prepared and introduced into constructed wetland (CW) to research the Cr(VI) removal mechanism through substrate adsorption and microbial action. Adsorption experiments demonstrated the equilibrium adsorption capacities of Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC for Cr(VI) could reach 1058.48 (C=10 mg/L) and 1394.

BACKGROUND Morel-Lavallee lesions (MLLs) are uncommon, closed soft-tissue degloving injuries caused by high-energy trauma that are often missed due to their rarity and delayed presentation, resulting in serious complications. MLLs are particularly missed and underreported in pediatric and adolescent patients. We describe the case of an adolescent MLL occurring in an atypical lesion site at the calf to increase awareness of this diagnosis and associated presentation in this patient group, which can differ from adult presentation and contribute to diagnostic uncertainty that consequently impacts clinical decision-making.

Purpose: First rib fractures in children are typically associated with high-impact trauma; atraumatic etiologies remain understudied. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the presentation and management of pediatric first rib fractures in the absence of major trauma.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of pediatric patients diagnosed with first rib fractures between 2000-2023 at a quaternary, free-standing children's hospital.

Oxygen plays a critical regulatory role in tissue repair and regeneration. However, in the microenvironment of tissues with vascular damage, hypoxia is commonly present. This not only suppresses cell proliferation and differentiation but also delays angiogenesis and extracellular matrix reconstruction, ultimately hindering the tissue regeneration process.
