Genetic and Immunohistochemical Profiling of Malignant Mesothelioma With Brain Metastasis: A Report of Two Cases

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Brain metastasis (BM) occurs in < 3% of malignant mesothelioma (MM) cases and is associated with an aggressive disease course. While genomic profiling has provided insight into molecular alterations in MM, the characteristics of MM with brain involvement remain unexplored.

Partial Agenesis of the Pericardium: A Rare Cause of Palpitations in a Young Adult

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Partial agenesis of the pericardium is a rare congenital anomaly in which part of the fibroelastic pericardial membrane is absent. Many patients remain asymptomatic, while others present with nonspecific symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, or dyspnea. The rarity and variable presentation often delay diagnosis. We report a case of a male

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 1069-1080, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.
