A protein containing the DUF1471 domain regulates biofilm formation and capsule production in Klebsiella pneumoniae
CONCLUSION: The role of orfX is speculated to be conserved in most K. pneumoniae isolates. OrfX negatively controlled biofilm formation by reducing CPS, not type 3 fimbriae, production.PMID:34924339 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2021.11.005 (Source: Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection)

A Resection of a Giant Mediastinal Teratoma in a Mayer Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome Patient
Ann Thorac Surg. 2021 Dec 11:S0003-4975(21)02050-6. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.10.063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis is a case of a giant mediastinal teratoma occupying the entire hemi-thorax, resulting in a complete lung white-out. Both diagnosis and complete surgical resection of such tumors are considered a challenge. That is what we are reporting in detail in a 24-year-old Syrian female, previously diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first to report this simultaneous incidence of MRKH syndrome and a mediastinal mature teratoma in the lite...

Congenital Pouch Colon: Further Histopathological Perspectives
We present two cases with varied associated anomalies (Case 1 with rectovesical fistula, Case 2 with Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser syndrome) and their histopathological features. Immunohistochemistry for calretinin showed paucity of ganglion cells and intrinsic fibers with occasional punctate positivity. The c-Kit immunostain documented fewer interstitial cells of Cajal. Cystitis glandularis with intestinal metaplasia (Case 1) and an additional muscle layer (Case 2) are described.These novel histopathological features characterize the entity further and may be related to genesis of the pouch and its clinical manifestation...

Clinical Features and Management of Endometriosis among Patients with MRKH and Functional Uterine Remnants
Conclusions: It is reasonable to monitor the uterine remnant of patients with MRKH closely, regardless of age, to achieve early intervention. The level of CA125 might be helpful to differentiate active uterine remnants with endometriosis and schedule individualized treatments. (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)

Ischial Spinous Fascia Fixation for Dilated Neovaginal Prolapse in MRKH Syndrome —2 Case Reports
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome), as congenital anomaly of female reproductive tract, is characterized by the congenital absence of uterus and vagina. Dilation maneuver was recommended as the non-surgical treatment for these patients. However, only several cases were reported depicting the prolapse of dilated neovagina of MRKH syndrome patients.
