Article Abstract

This study was aimed at detecting the presence of in dogs with clinical signs in the northern area of Lima, Peru. Peripheral blood samples ( = 152) were collected from dogs with hematological alterations and clinical signs suggestive of hemoparasitosis. PCR was used to amplify the 18S ribosomal RNA gene of sp. and was complemented with Sanger sequencing. Blood smears were used to identify the parasite gamonts. The frequency of was 15.1% (23/152) based on PCR and 0.7% (1/152) based on microscopic observation. The resulting sequences of the positive PCR amplicons (574 bp) exhibited high sequence similarity to the previously registered sequences in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a similar relationship between the sequences identified in dogs from Thailand, the Philippines, Pakistan, India, and Colombia. This study presents the first evidence of in dogs with clinical signs in an endemic area for vector-borne diseases in Lima, Peru.

Rare diseases, defined by the 2002 Rare Disease Act, affect fewer than 5 in 10,000 individuals. Rare metabolic bone diseases (MBDs), such as osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatasia, osteopetrosis, and other unclassified disorders, can disrupt bone development and remodeling, posing diagnostic and management challenges. This study analyzed data from the rarembd.

Objective: Reveal the changing rule of the positional relationship between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery by measuring the relevant parameters between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery in different age groups.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1240 cases of cervical spine imaging data from 2018 to 2021 in the Radiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. The distance between the uncinate process superior ridge and vertebral artery and the maximum of pedicle transverse angle, the minimum of pedicle transverse angle, the range of pedicle transverse angle and the pedicle width were measured according to age groups.

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are generally benign neoplasms, though in rare cases may exhibit aggressive behavior. In 2024, the PANOMEN-3 workshop released a new clinical-pathological classification. The objective of this study was to examine the potential of the PANOMEN-3 classification to predict prognosis of PAs and guide treatment in our single center cohort of patients with PAs.

Hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia diagnosed through post-ablation liver tumor biopsy.

Hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), also known as hepatic pseudolymphoma, is a rare benign condition that predominantly affects middle-aged-to-elderly women and is often associated with autoimmune disorders. The imaging features of hepatic RLH frequently mimic those of malignant hepatic tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma, or metastatic liver tumors, making its diagnosis based solely on imaging modalities challenging, often leading to unnecessary surgical resection. However, the optimal diagnostic strategy for hepatic RLH remains controversial.

BACKGROUND Pediatric sinonasal tumors are rare, accounting for about 4% of all pediatric head and neck neoplasms. Due to their nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and facial pain, these tumors often present diagnostic challenges and lead to delays in managment. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to optimize clinical outcomes.
