Abstract

An asymptomatic rib lesion was discovered by means of a bone scan obtained during the clinical evaluation of an adult man with biopsy proven prostate adenocarcinoma. Clinically and radiologically considered to be a metastatic focus, on resection it proved to be an osteoid osteoma (OO). A review of the English medical literature on OO was conducted with emphasis on the occurrence in older patients, costal location, and the absence of pain. OO in patients older than age 50 years is rare (1% - 2% of cases). Only 18 cases of painless OO were found. Of these, 8 (44%) occurred in the phalanges, and 3 (17%) in the cranial-facial bones, both uncommon sites for OO; only 7 (39%) arose in the long bones, the most common site for conventional OO. A disproportionate number of these patients (44%) were younger than age five years, a rarity for OO. Fourteen reported examples of costal OO were found, all of which were associated with pain. The possible mechanisms involved in the production of pain, including analysis of the effect of its site of origin and the presence of nerve fibers, is reviewed. Costal OO is distinguished from osteoblastoma and from what has been described as painless fibro-osseous lesion of the rib. The infrequency of meta...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.
