SINGLE-CELL TRANSCRIPTOMIC ANALYSIS REVEALS TUMOR CELL HETEROGENEITY AND IMMUNE MICROENVIRONMENT FEATURES OF PITUITARY NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals tumor cell heterogeneity and immune microenvironment features of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors

Abstract Background Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are one of the most common types of intracranial tumors.Currently, the cellular characteristics of normal pituitary and various other types of PitNETs are still not completely understood.Methods We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on 4 normal samples and 24 PitNET samples

A Rare Case of Hepatic Vanishing Bile Duct Syndrome Occurring after Combination Therapy with Nivolumab and Cabozantinib in a Patient with Renal Carcinoma

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) significantly improve the outcomes of patients with Nail Forms advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC); however, high-grade toxicities can occur, particularly during combination therapy.Herein, we report a patient with advanced metastatic ccRCC, who developed grade 4

A comparative study between modified Bishop score and transvaginal sonography to predict successful induction of labor

Background Modified Bishop score (MBS) and cervical length determination by transvaginal sonography (TVS) are the two methods for predicting successful vaginal delivery based on pre-induction favourability of the cervix.Aims and Objectives This study compared both methods for predicting successful vaginal delivery.The primary objective was to compa
