Non‐trophoblastic tumours of the placenta: pathophysiology, diagnosis and management
Key content Non‐trophoblastic tumours include chorioangiomas, teratomas, placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD), leiomyomas and more rarely hepatocellular adenomas. Ultrasonography is the primary diagnostic modality. Chorioangiomas are the most common benign non‐trophoblastic placental tumour, occurring within 1% of placentas microscopically.

The usefulness of pleural fluid alkaline phosphatase and its ratio to serum alkaline phosphatase levels in classifying pleural effusions as exudates and transudates and its correlation with light’s criteria [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Pleural effusion is a very common clinical presentation of diseases. A correct diagnosis of the underlying disease is essential for the management of pleural effusion.

Suspected hepatic hydrothorax secondary to cirrhosis in a dog
Abstract An 8‐year‐old, entire, female labrador retriever presented with a 2‐week history of abdominal distension. Biochemistry identified hepatic dysfunction (elevated hepatobiliary markers, hypocholesterolaemia). Abdominal ultrasonography documented an irregular liver and a large volume of anechoic peritoneal effusion, which laboratory analysis ...

What Causes Bilateral Pleural Effusion: A Case Report
Transudative–exudative pleural effusion may be one of the clinical manifestations of tuberculous pericarditis. PET/CT in the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of tuberculous pericarditis is valuable, and the central venous pressure may be an indicator of choice for surgical treatment of tuberculous pericarditis.

Pediatric patients with von Hippel–Lindau and hemangioblastomas treated successfully with belzutifan
Abstract Hemangioblastoma is the most common tumor associated with von Hippel–Lindau (VHL), and are a leading cause of mortality. We present five pediatric patients with VHL‐associated hemangioblastomas treated with belzutifan, a hypoxia‐inducible factor 2a (HIF2a) inhibitor. Three patients were started on belzutifan due to vision loss from progressive

On the role of antibody affinity and avidity in the IgE‐mediated allergic response
Abstract Type I hypersensitivity, also known as classical allergy, is mediated via allergen‐specific IgE antibodies bound to type I FcR (FcεRI) on the surface of mast cells and basophils upon cross‐linking by allergens. This IgE‐mediated cellular activation may be blocked by allergen‐specific IgG through multiple mechanisms, including direct ...

Practical Approach to Reporting Based on the International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology
The practical approach to effusion samples work up based on the International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology is presented. ABSTRACT The International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS) is intended for reporting cytological specimens from serous cavities: pleural, abdominal and pericardial cavities.
