Abstract

Desmoid tumors of the chest wall are uncommon fibromatous tumors characterized by their local invasion and frequent recurrences. They are considered low-grade malignant sarcomas. We analyze our results and evaluate our experience in their surgical treatment. From 1980 and 1999, eight patients were operated in our service for desmoid tumors of the chest wall. There were five males and three females with a mean age of 32 years old (17-52 years). The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical signs and imaging studies (Chest X-ray and computed tomography). Surgery was done by direct approach of the tumors. None of the patients had Gardner's syndrome. Complete resection was done in seven of the eight cases. Histology confirmed all cases. The follow-up ranged from 24 and 180 months, for a mean of 82 months. There was one death from cardiac and renal failure 3 months after a fifth resection associated with adjuvant radiation therapy. No other post-operative complications were observed. Recurrences occurred in 50% of cases, all treated by surgery, associated to radiotherapy in one case. Surgical treatment of primary desmoid tumors of the chest wall requires wide local resection. In cases of recurrences, multimodality therapies...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
