Desmoid tumour: a rare etiology of intestinal obstruction

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2015
Intestinal obstruction is a frequently encountered entity in surgical practice. The signs and symptoms, many a times, are suggestive of the level of obstruction, making the diagnosis of obstruction evident.

A Case Report: Intestinal Obstruction Due to Acute Appendicitis [PDF]

, 2010
Appendicitis has always been the most common surgical case in our daily practices; however, appendicitis presenting mechanical intestinal obstruction is quite rare and it has never been reported in Immanuel Hospital. In this report we present a young man

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction [PDF]

Gut, 2000
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction refers to a syndrome in which the clinical picture resembles that of bowel obstruction, with failure of intestinal motility associated with pain and intestinal distension, but absence of a mechanical obstructing lesion. The situation arises acutely in some patients admitted to hospital with non-gastrointestinal disorders (

Combining antibody conjugates with cytotoxic and immune‐stimulating payloads maximizes anti‐cancer activity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Methods to improve antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) treatment durability in cancer therapy are needed. We utilized ADCs and immune‐stimulating antibody conjugates (ISACs), which are made from two non‐competitive antibodies, to enhance the entry of toxic payloads into cancer cells and deliver immunostimulatory agents into immune cells.

Management with Conservative Gastrointestinal Decompression and Intravenous Immunoglobulin Relieved Intestinal Obstruction in Kawasaki Disease: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Question
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vasculitis that predominantly affects children under 5 years of age. Although gastrointestinal symptoms are common, severe complications, such as intestinal obstruction, are rare but clinically ...

Dammarenediol II enhances etoposide‐induced apoptosis by targeting O‐GlcNAc transferase and Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling in liver cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Etoposide induces DNA damage, activating p53‐dependent apoptosis via caspase‐3/7, which cleaves PARP1. Dammarenediol II enhances this apoptotic pathway by suppressing O‐GlcNAc transferase activity, further decreasing O‐GlcNAcylation. The reduction in O‐GlcNAc levels boosts p53‐driven apoptosis and influences the Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling pathway ...

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Consequences of Hydrogel Granules Swallowing by Children: Case Study

Вопросы современной педиатрии, 2020
Background. When hydrogel granules enter into gastrointestinal tract (GIT) they start to adsorb water, increase in volume and can cause obturation intestinal obstruction.

Primary intestinal aspergillosis resulting in acute intestinal volvulus after autologous stem cell transplantation in a patient with relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma : report on a rare infectious complication and a review of the literature

, 2019
Objectives: Since primary intestinal aspergillosis is a severe infectious complication with a high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, we want to draw attention to this rare entity and the importance of early recognition.
