Article Abstract

: -rearranged sarcoma is a rare and aggressive type of undifferentiated round cell tumor characterized by gene fusion, most commonly This study presents a series of eleven cases, highlighting their clinicopathological features. : Pathology records (2019 to 2024) were searched using "sarcoma with ", identifying eleven cases, of which seven referred cases were initially misdiagnosed. Pathological and clinical analysis was conducted. Treatment was dictated upon multidisciplinary panel discussion based on tumor stage. Follow-up data (1-25 months) was available for all patients. : The cohort included six males and five females, with a median age of 43 years (range;14-53), with nine in soft tissue and two in bone. Tumor size ranged from 3.5 cm to 20.0 cm (mean: 9.8 cm). Most cases showed sheets of undifferentiated round- to oval-shaped cells. Two cases showed an Ewing-like pattern, and one case showed spindle cells in a fibrotic stroma transitioning to epithelioid cells. Necrosis was present in nine cases, and mitotic count ranged from 2 to 38/ 10HPFs (mean = 14.2). CD99 was positive in (10/11) cases and WT-1 in (6/9). NKX2.2, S100, and MDM2 were positive in rare cases. fusion was detected in four cases. FISH for gene rearrangement was positive in seven cases, two of them confirmed by methylation analysis. Metastasis at diagnosis was common (n = 8), primarily in the lungs, with later metastasis to the brain and bone. At time of final analysis, eight patients died within a median of 10 months (range: 1-19 months), while three were alive, two with stable disease (for a period of 6 and 25 months) and one with progression after 10 months. Significant correlation was seen between overall survival and the presence of metastasis at diagnosis ( value = 0.03). : -rearranged sarcomas are rare, high-grade tumors with predilection for soft tissue. Misdiagnosis is frequent, necessitating molecular confirmation. These tumors are treatment-resistant, often present with lung metastasis, and carry a poor prognosis, especially with initial metastasis.

Background: The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a validated surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, its association with stroke and dementia in nondiabetic populations remains insufficiently investigated.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included nondiabetic participants from the UK Biobank.

Objectives: Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a common diagnosis among patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). It is treated by empiric antibiotics within the ED. With a rise in antimicrobial resistance globally, it is unknown whether patients are being managed with empiric antibiotics that are appropriate for the causative organisms of APN.

In-Flight Deterioration Occurs Early in Aeromedical Trauma Patients.

Reliably defining the risk of adverse in-flight events in aeromedical trauma patients could enable more informed pre-departure treatment and guide central asset allocation to achieve better system-level outcomes. Unfortunately, the current literature base specifically examining the in-flight period is sparse. Flight duration is often considered a proxy for the risk of in-flight deterioration; however, there is limited data to support this commonly held assumption.

Clinical Role of the Noninvasive Abdominal Fetal ECG in the Detection and Monitoring of Fetal Tachycardia.

Department of Congenital Heart Disease, Evelina London Children's Hospital, United Kingdom (S. Chivers, T.V., V.Z., S.M., G.M., W.R., E.R., D.F.A.L., T.G.D., O.I.M., G.K.S., J.M.S.).

Background: Fetal tachycardias can cause adverse fetal outcomes including ventricular dysfunction, hydrops, and fetal demise. Postnatally, ECG is the gold standard, but, in fetal practice, echocardiography is used most frequently to diagnose and monitor fetal arrhythmias. Noninvasive extraction of the fetal ECG (fECG) may provide additional information about the electrophysiological mechanism and monitoring of intermittent arrhythmias.

Aim: Globally, tuberculosis incidence shows notable sex disparity, with higher rates observed in males. While this pattern is well documented in adults from high-incidence countries, the influence of sex on tuberculosis incidence in children and adolescents, particularly in low-incidence settings, remains unclear. This study investigated sex-specific tuberculosis incidence rates across all age groups, focusing on adolescents, in a low-incidence country.
