This journal club article summarizes a study examining the clinicopathological significance of the cribriform pattern and intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) in prostate biopsy specimens. The study found that both were associated with higher Gleason grade, lymph node metastasis, extraprostatic extension, and lymphovascular invasion. Their presence, regardless of percentage or number of cores, provided prognostic information. The cribriform pattern and IDC-P were independent risk factors for each other and high Gleason grade. Their identification, even in a small portion of cores, should be reported to help predict patient outcomes.

1) Duodenal biopsy of a 21-year old male showed Giardia lamblia trophozoites attached to the duodenal mucosa without invasion. Multiple Brunner's glands were seen in the submucosa.
2) Giardia lamblia, or Giardia intestinalis, is a common intestinal parasite spread through contaminated food or water. It attaches to the small intestine and can cause intermittent diarrhea but does not invade the mucosa.
3) The biopsy findings were consistent with giardiasis based on the morphology and location of the organisms seen as well as the patient's clinical history of abdominal pain and diarrhea.

The document describes different features seen in normal and abnormal blood cells under a microscope. It notes that red blood cells normally have a pale center and white blood cells include granulocytes. Iron-deficiency anemia is shown by paler, smaller red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia features sickled red blood cells. Chronic myelogenous leukemia features an increased number of neutrophils. Hairy cell leukemia cells have hairy projections and Hodgkin lymphoma features large Reed-Sternberg cells.
I) Type II hypersensitivity reactions, also known as cytotoxic reactions, involve antibody-mediated destruction of cells through two main mechanisms:
1) Activation of the complement system leads to pore formation and lysis of the target cell.
2) Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) occurs when antibodies bind to target cells and recruit natural killer cells or macrophages to destroy the target cell.
Some examples of type II hypersensitivity reactions include hemolytic anemia caused by antibodies against blood cells, transfusion reactions due to ABO incompatibility, and hemolytic disease of the newborn from Rh incompatibility.
Type I, II, III, and IV hypersensitivity reactions are immune responses that are harmful or inappropriate. Type I is an immediate, antibody-mediated reaction like an allergy. Type II involves antibody-mediated cell destruction. Type III is immune complex-mediated responses causing issues like serum sickness. Type IV is a delayed, cell-mediated response like a tuberculin skin test or contact dermatitis. These hypersensitivities can cause issues in various tissues and organs.
The diagnosis of lymphoma involves an integrated process using clinical information, histology, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular studies. A tissue sample suspected of lymphoma is tested with microscopy, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, cytogenetic analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and molecular genetic analysis.

Postmortem changes occur immediately, early, and late after death. Immediate changes include cessation of brain, circulatory, and respiratory functions. Early changes are facial pallor, skin changes, eye changes, cooling of the body, lividity, and rigor mortis. Rigor mortis is caused by a chemical change in muscles and typically lasts 1-3 days. Late changes include decomposition through autolysis and bacterial action, resulting in discoloration, bloating, and maggot activity.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system that is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. There are two main types: classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma. Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is further divided into subtypes based on the cellular background and presence of fibrosis, including nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte rich, and lymphocyte depleted. The cause is unknown but Epstein-Barr virus infection plays a role in some cases. Diagnosis involves identifying Reed-Sternberg cells on biopsy.
This document describes the case of a 22-year-old male with a painless swelling in his lower back that was found to be a cystic lesion measuring 13.8 x 6mm in the sacral region. Scant aspirated material showed scattered cells with bland nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm within a myxoid background. Differential diagnoses included notochordal vestige, extraosseous benign notochordal cell tumor, incipient chordoma, and chondroid syringoma. Features mostly supported a diagnosis of notochordal vestige given the location, cytomorphology, lack of atypia, and no bony destruction on imaging.
Blood parasites are microorganisms that infect blood cells. Common types include Plasmodium, which causes malaria, and Trypanosomes, which cause sleeping sickness. Plasmodium is transmitted between humans by mosquitoes and infects liver and blood cells, causing fever and anemia. Trypanosomes are transmitted by tsetse flies and infect the central nervous system, leading to fever, headache, and confusion. Both diseases are diagnosed through blood tests and treated with antimalarial or antiparasitic drugs.

- This case report describes a biopsy showing fragments of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma invading the lamina propria in a 71-year-old male who presented with a mass in the anal verge.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

RNA genome into single-stranded
DNA and to subsequently
construct a complementary strand
of DNA, providing a DNA double
helix capable of “integration” into
host cell chromosomes.
