A chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the coronoid process mimicking a fragmented coronoid process in a dog [PDF]
A 6-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback was presented with a 1.5 year history of right forelimb lameness. Clinical, radiological and computed tomographic findings suggested the presence of fragmented medial coronoid process.

An advanced‐fidelity CRISPR nuclease, FnCas9‐AF2, is rationally engineered to discriminate single‐base mismatches with unprecedented level precision. Integrated into the MUTE‐Seq workflow, FnCas9‐AF2 depletes wild‐type cell‐free DNA, thereby exposing rare tumor‐derived mutant DNA (a molecular “needle in a haystack”).

Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Pulmonary Hamartoma: Case Report
Pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung. It accounts for 77% of all benign lung tumors but less than 1% of all lung tumors. Malignant alteration is extremely rare. Surgical removal is therapy of choice.

Early changes in diaphragmatic function evaluated using ultrasound in cardiac surgery patients: a cohort study. [PDF]
Little is known about the evolution of diaphragmatic function in the early post-cardiac surgery period. The main purpose of this work is to describe its evolution using ultrasound measurements of muscular excursion and thickening fraction (TF).

A method is developed for conducting genome‐wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening of monocyte infiltration in vivo (CRISPR‐MI) that is easily adaptable across a variety of disease models. Through the combination of CRISPR‐MI and scRNA‐Seq, this study discovers that Trem2 is a key regulator of early monocyte infiltration in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA ...
