Intercalary Resection of the Tibia for Primary Bone Tumors: Are Vascularized Fibula Autografts With or Without Allografts a Durable Reconstruction?
CONCLUSION: VFG, alone or combined with an allograft, could be considered in reconstructing a lower extremity after intercalary resections of the tibia for primary bone tumors, and it avoids the use of a large endoprosthesis. However, this procedure was associated with frequent, often severe complications during the first postoperative years and complication-free survival of 58% at 5 years. Nearly 10% of patients ultimately had an amputation. For patients whose reconstruction succeeded, the technique provides a durable reconstruction with good MSTS scores, and we believe it is useful for active patients with long life expe...

64 Cu tumor labeling with hexadentate picolinic acid-based bispidine immunoconjugates
Chemistry. 2024 Mar 20:e202400366. doi: 10.1002/chem.202400366. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiscussed are two picolinate appended bispidine ligands (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives) in comparison with an earlier described bis-pyridine derivative, which are all known to strongly bind CuII. The radiopharmacological characterization of the two isomeric bispidine complexes includes quantitative labeling with 64CuII at ambient conditions with high radiochemical purities and yields (molar activities > 200 MBq/nmol). Challenge experiments in presence of EDTA, cyclam, human serum and SOD demonstrate high stability a...

Pediatric orbital lesions: neoplastic extraocular soft-tissue lesions
AbstractPediatric neoplastic extraocular soft-tissue lesions in the orbit are uncommon. Early multimodality imaging work-up and recognition of the key imaging features of these lesions allow narrowing of the differential diagnoses in order to direct timely management. In this paper, the authors present a multimodality approach to the imaging work-up of these lesions and highlight the use of ocular ultrasound as a first imaging modality where appropriate. We will discuss vascular neoplasms (congenital hemangioma, infantile hemangioma), optic nerve lesions (meningioma, optic nerve glioma), and other neoplastic lesions (plexi...

Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma of the Jaw: A case Report and Literature Review
Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (SEF) is an extremely rare form of bone and soft tissue sarcoma. It occurs mainly in the deep soft tissue of the lower extremities, with few cases reported in the head and neck region. Tumors involving the oral and maxillofacial region (OMFR) and intraosseous examples are rare. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy, an enigmatic entity: A case report
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_471_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy (PMMTI) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential occurring predominantly in infants and younger children. It can show aggressive local infiltration of surrounding structures and frequent relapses but rare metastasis. Morphologically, it is characterized by a proliferation of immature mesenchymal cells in a myxoid background with mild cytologic atypia and branching vessels. The tumor cells demonstrate immunoreactivity with vimentin and BCOR, however, are...

Histopathological and morphological characterization of Cysticercus fasciolaris isolated from domestic and wild rodents in Morocco
Exp Parasitol. 2024 Feb 28:108726. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2024.108726. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCysticercus fasciolaris is a parasitic helminth that usually infects feline and canine mammal hosts. The intermediate hosts (rodents, occasionally lagomorphs, and humans) get infected by the consumption of feed or water contaminated with eggs. Rodents are vectors of disease and reservoirs of various zoonotic parasites. The current survey was aimed at determining endoparasitic helminth infections in rodents in central Morocco. Sampled rodents after specific identification were sacrificed and examined to identify parasitic he...
