Melanoma Mimicking Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor with Spread to the Cerebellopontine Angle: Utility of Next-Generation Sequencing in Diagnosis by Katie Fox Hanson, Paul Birinyi, Ronald Walker, Constantine Raptis, Rebecca Chernock, Jeroen Coppens, Katherine E. Schwetye

“…We present an unusually challenging patient who presented with clinical symptoms involving cranial nerves VII and VIII and a parotid-region mass, which was S100-positive while lacking in melanocytic pigment and markers. Over a year after resection of the parotid mass, both a cutaneous primary lentigo maligna melanoma and a metastatic CP angle melanoma were diagnosed in the same patient, prompting reconsideration of the diagnosis in the original parotid-region mass. …”

Haplotypes-based genetic analysis: benefits and challenges by D. Sehgal, S. Dreisigacker

“…Owing to the strong genome structure present in breeding lines of most crops, the deployment of haplotypes could be a powerful complement to improve efficiency of marker-assisted and genomic selection. This review describes in brief the commonly used approaches to construct haplotype blocks and some examples in animals and crops are cited where haplotype-based dissection of traits were proven beneficial. …”

Role of New Biomarkers: Functional and Structural Damage by Evdoxia Tsigou, Vasiliki Psallida, Christos Demponeras, Eleni Boutzouka, George Baltopoulos

“…Traditional diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) depends on detection of oliguria and rise of serum creatinine level, which is an unreliable and delayed marker of kidney damage. Delayed diagnosis of AKI in the critically ill patient is related to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged length of stay, and cost escalation. …”

The heat energy dissipated in a control volume to correlate the crack propagation rate in stainless steel specimens by G. Meneghetti, M. Ricotta

“…Originally conceived and applied as a point-related quantity, recently Q has been averaged at the tip of propagating fatigue cracks (the Q* parameter) in order to correlate crack growth data gathered from fracture mechanics tests. The use of Q* seems interesting because (i) it can be evaluated in-situ from infrared temperature maps and (ii) crack acceleration due to excessive plasticity is likely to be accounted for.…”

Functional Consequences of the Disturbances in the GABA-Mediated Inhibition Induced by Injuriesin the Cerebral Cortex by Barbara Imbrosci, Thomas Mittmann

“…A promising strategy to minimize the deleterious consequences of a modified inhibitory transmission without preventing the potential beneficial effects on cortical plasticity may be to unravel distinct GABAergic signaling pathways separately mediating these positive and negative events. Here, gathering data from several recent studies, we provide new insights to better face with this “double coin” condition in the attempt to optimize the functional recovery of patients.…”
