Background/Objectives: Constructing a comprehensive spatiotemporal map of tumor heterogeneity is essential for understanding tumor evolution, with copy number variation (CNV) being a significant feature. Existing studies often rely on tools originall...
Background: Hemoglobin Rothschild (Hb Rothschild), NM_000518.5(HBB):c.112T>C, is an ultra-rare low-oxygen-affinity hemoglobin variant that persistently causes reduced peripheral oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry despite normal arterial oxygenati...
Background/Objectives: Early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can improve patient survival and biomarkers to facilitate this are greatly needed. We recently reported a serum biomarker signature comprising tissue inhibitor of metal...
A 30-year-old previously healthy man presented with fever and headache. HIV tests yielded negative results. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed pleocytosis (619/µL), elevated protein (210.3 mg/dL) and adenosine deaminase levels, and dec...
Background: Dysphagia from aging, neurodegeneration, structural anomalies, or cognitive decline harms quality of life. The videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is the diagnostic gold standard but manual interpretation is labor-intensive and cost...
Background/Objectives: Hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a common neurological outcome of perinatal asphyxia, with cerebral palsy (CP) being the most severe lasting effect. Perinatal brain injury activates the immune system and induces t...
Background and Clinical Significance: Abusive head trauma (AHT), formerly known as Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. While the forensic aspects of acute AHT are well described, auto...
Background and Clinical Significance: Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are large demyelinating lesions that mimic intracranial tumors, posing a diagnostic challenge in both clinical presentation and conventional imaging. Distinguishing TDLs f...
Background: Timely identification of individuals at elevated risk for gastric cancer (GC) within routine care could enable earlier endoscopy and referral. We posit that cancers within the gastrointestinal/hepatopancreatobiliary spectrum share signals...
We report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from an intraosseous epidermal cyst (EC) in the distal phalanx of the left thumb. A 76-year-old male presented with progressive thumb pain experienced over the previous six months. Radiog...
