Abstract

We herein report a case of local recurrence of T1a rectal cancer following radical endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). A 63-year-old man underwent EMR for a 0-IIa lesion of the Ra portion of the rectum. The findings on pathological examination were tub1, T1a (SM1, 420 µm), ly0 and v0, and the EMR had been considered a transitional procedure. Colonoscopy performed 26 months after EMR revealed a submucosal tumor (SMT) near the EMR scar in the left wall of the Ra portion of the rectum. An abdominal enhanced computed tomography scan revealed infiltration of the thickness of the wall with limited extramural extension, and a lymph node 10 mm in diameter. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration also indicated a SMT on the left side of the Ra portion of the rectum that extended from the submucosal layer to beyond the serosal layer, and a lymph node sized 17×11 mm to the left of the Ra portion near the oral side 2 cm from the SMT. The pathological findings confirmed the SMT to be an adenocarcinoma with a metastatic lymph node. Local and lymph node recurrence of rectal cancer following radical EMR was diagnosed, and laparoscopic ultra-low anterior resection, D3 lymph node dissection and a diverting ileostomy were performed.

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.
