Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging hybrid biomedical imaging modality that combines the high molecular contrast of optical excitation with the deep tissue penetration of ultrasound detection. This review presents recent advances in …
Background/objectivesMalignant ascites frequently arises in advanced cancers with peritoneal metastasis and is associated with poor outcomes. Known mechanisms include lymphatic obstruction by tumor cells, increased vascular permeability, an…
SUMMARY: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a known risk factor for dyslipidaemias. Insulin resistance and the associated dyslipidaemia, particularly hypertriglyceridaemia, have been less frequently linked to peripheral nerve dysfunctio…
De novo small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) in the terminal ileum is the least common of the SBA types. However, its highest prevalence is found in the presence of Crohn's disease (CD). As patients with SBA and CD present with similar symptoms…
BackgroundThe optimal treatment and molecular landscape of recurrent clear cell carcinoma of the vulva (VCCC) are unknown. No reported data exist regarding the efficacy of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibition in VCCC.…
Ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (OEC) of low grade have characteristic morphologic features, but high-grade tumors can mimic high-grade serous and undifferentiated carcinomas. We reviewed tumors initially diagnosed as OEC to determine wheth…
The ultimate goal of defining cancer specific precursors is to facilitate early detection and intervention before the development of invasive malignancy. Unlike other malignancies involving the female genital tract such as cervical or endom…
