Abstract

Immature ovarian teratomas are rare but account for 10-20% of ovarian cancers in women under the age of 20 years. This study aimed to characterise immature ovarian teratomas using grey-scale and Doppler ultrasonography and review the literature to refine the diagnosis of immature ovarian teratomas. Patients with a confirmed histological diagnosis of immature ovarian teratoma from years 2006-2018, who had undergone a transvaginal ultrasound at two large teaching hospitals, were identified. The imaging was retrieved from the centres clinical databases. Ultrasound scans were performed by experienced ultrasound examiners and described according to International Ovarian Tumour Analysis criteria. Eight patients were identified in total with a mean age of 26 years (range 13-35). Half of the patients had a past history of a mature ovarian teratoma (3 ipsilateral, 1 contralateral). The cysts were generally large (median 115 mm), fast growing unilateral lesions with a single, peripheral predominantly solid component arising from the cyst wall. The solid component was hyperechoic with multiple foci of fibrosis and numerous small cysts. The cystic component typically formed less than 75% of the lesion and the cyst fluid was of low-level ec...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.
