Lymphatic Cysts

Mesenteric cysts are rare benign abdominal tumors. These cysts, especially those of lymphatic origin, very rarely become inflamed. The diagnosis of inflamed lymphatic cysts of the mesentery may be difficult. We herein report two cases of inflamed simple lymphatic cysts of the mesentery definitively diagnosed and excised by laparoscopy.

Mesenteric cysts are rare benign abdominal tumors, and they can appear anywhere in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract, from the duodenum to the rectum. They are generally asymptomatic and may present as an incidental finding. The diagnosis is confirmed by the laparotomy findings and the results of the histopathological examination. Complete surgical (open or laparoscopic) enucleation of the cyst is the treatment of choice. We present a case of a female patient who presented with abdominal pain and a giant palpable abdominal mass. The patient underwent a surgical exploration which showed a giant mesenteric cyst. A complete surgical enucleation of the cyst was successfully performed without the need of bowel resection. The histopathological examination of the cyst was compatible with the diagnosis of chylous mesenteric cyst.

Mesenteric Cysts

Einleitung: Bei der Differentialdiagnose von intraabdominalen Tumoren ist an die mesenterialen Zysten zu denken. Wir möchten mittels Fallbeispiel an diesen seltenen Befund erinnern. Fallbeispiel: Es handelt sich um eine 35-jährige Patientin mit zweiwöchiger Anamnese von progredienten Abdominalschmerzen. Die Abklärung mittels Sonographie und Computertomographie ergab einen 14 x 12 x 3cm grossen zystischen abdominalen Tumor ohne Beziehung zu Uterus, Adnexen oder Oberbauchorganen, worauf die Patientin laparotomiert und die Zyste reseziert wurde. Diskussion: Mesenteriale Zysten sind selten. Die Pathogenese ist unterschiedlich und die klinische wie auch die radiologische Diagnostik schwierig. Die Symptomatik reicht vom akuten Abdomen über unspezifische Abdominalbeschwerden bis hin zum asymptomatischen Zufallsbefund. Mesenteriale Zysten können entlang des gesamten Gastrointestinaltraktes vom Duodenum bis zum Rektum auftreten. Therapie der Wahl ist die Zystenresektion. Schlussfolgerungen: Mesenteriale Zysten sind seltene intraabdominale Befunde. Die definitive Diagnosesicherung und die Therapie besteht in der Resektion.

Pathology Reports

Wilms’ tumor is the most frequent renal malignancy in childhood with the highest incidence per year, approximately 7,8 cases per 1.000.000in children under 15 years-old and frequently occurred in 2-5 years of age (highest incidences in 3 years-old). There are many differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal tumors and the correct differential diagnosis are detrimental to the prescribed treatments for the patients.Medical imaging along with pathology reports is a precise way to determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Imaging gives information about tumor extension and distant metastasis, especially useful for indicating pre-operative chemotherapy.

Respiratory diseases are one of the prime topics of concern in the current era due to improper diagnostics tools. Gene-editing therapy, like Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats- associated nuclease 9 (CRISPR/Cas9), is gaining popularity in pulmonary research, opening up doors to invaluable insights on underlying mechanisms. CRISPR/Cas9 can be considered as a potential gene-editing tool with a scientific community that is helping in the advancement of knowledge in respiratory health and therapy. As an appealing therapeutic tool, we hereby explore the advanced research on the application of CRISPR/Cas9 tools in chronic respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and cystic fibrosis (CF). We also address the urgent need to establish this gene-editing tool in various other lung diseases such as asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The present review introduces CRISPR/Cas9 as a worthy application in targeting epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibrinolytic system via editing specific genes. Thereby, based on the efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9, it can be considered as a promising therapeutic tool in respiratory health research.

This paper reports the participant observation of a Brazilian psychologist and a Brazilian psychiatrist during a 1-month period in two therapeutic communities (TCs) for drug-using offenders. A description of the activities undertaken by the prisoners who are serving their sentences at the Multi-Purpose Criminal Justice Facility in Wilmington, Del., is complemented with a theoretical understanding of the process. Clinical and developmental psychological approaches are used to explain the functioning of TCs when applied to a correctional environment. The theory of scripts and the use of metacommunication as a therapeutic tool are used in the explanation of these therapeutic procedures.
