Abstract To investigate the diagnostic performance of relative telomere length (RTL) in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC). We measured RTL in cfDNA of 40 EC patients (65 ± 12 years) and 31 healthy controls (HC) (63 ± 13 years), excluding in both groups other oncologic and severe non-oncologic diseases to limit confounders. Circulating cfDNA was extracted from serum using the QIAamp DNA Blood Mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). After the quantitative...

Abstract Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine found in various cancers. Current evidence indicates that IL-17 plays a vital role in tumour initiation and progression in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) via binding with its receptor, IL-17RA. However, the association between clinicopathological features and presence of IL-17 and IL-17RA protein in primary CRC tissues remains unclear. This study also investigates the difference between the presence of IL-17 and IL-17RA...

Abstract The rate of Cesarean sections (C-sections) in Poland increased from 21.7% in 2001 to 43.85% in 2017 even though the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians highlights the negative consequences of C-section for both mother and child and recommends to make every possible effort to reduce its percentage, following the World Health Organization recommendations. There is a long list of possible complications related to the uterine scar after C-section, including...

Abstract Testicular tumours are rare in children. Painless scrotal mass is the most frequent clinical presentation. Tumoural markers (alpha-fetoprotein, beta-human gonadotropin chorionic) and hormone levels (testosterone) contribute to the diagnosis and management of a testicular mass in boys. Ultrasonography is the best imaging modality to study testicular tumours. A benign tumour is suggested when ultrasonography shows a mainly cystic component, well-defined borders, echogenic...

The International Pain Association defines neuropathic pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.” Recent studies show that chronic neuropathic pain causes both morphological and functional changes within brain structures. Due to the impact of supraspinal centers on pain signal processing, patients with chronic pain often suffer from depression, anxiety, memory impairment, and learning disabilities. Changes in hippocampal neuronal and...

Vascular resection plus reconstruction in hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection was feasible and safe and might improve the long‐term survival of patients with advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma. This aggressive approach should be adopted if the expertise is available and the patient's condition allows.

The overall haemostatic potential for patients post liver resection is complex, and cannot be reduced to a single laboratory measurement such as international normalized ratio (INR). INR does increase after liver resection, although still usually remains below 1.5. Even when INR is >1.5, the ability to form a stable clot on thromboelastography remains intact. Therefore, INR should not be used to guide decision to institute pharmacological thromboprophylaxis after liver resection, particularly...

Abstract Multicellular eukaryotes emerged late in evolution from an ocean of viruses, bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes. These macroorganisms are exposed to and infected by a tremendous diversity of microorganisms. Those that are large enough can even be infected by multicellular fungi and parasites. Each interaction is unique, if only because it operates between two unique living organisms, in an infinite diversity of circumstances. This is neatly illustrated...

Abstract Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) constitute a pair of joints that connect the jawbone to the skull. TMJs are bilateral joints which work as one unit in conducting daily functions such as speaking, mastication, and other activities associated with the movement of the jaw. Issues associated with the TMJs may arise due to various factors—one such factor being the internal load on the TMJ. These issues may contribute to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). This study aims to evaluate the mandibular...
