Epithelioid Angiosarcoma of the Small Intestine After Occupational Exposure to Radiation and Polyvinyl Chloride: A case Report and Review of Literature
Angiosarcomas represent 1–2% of soft tissue sarcomas and most frequently occur in the subcutis. They may affect internal
organs, such as the heart, liver, and spleen, and only rarely do they emerge in the gastrointestinal tract. The association
between angiosarcomas and certain toxic chemical substances or previous external-beam radiation therapy is well
documented
Colonization with multiple Staphylococcus aureus strains among patients in European intensive care units.
Patients and healthy individuals intermittently and inconsistently
carry different methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) subtypes. In the present study, we assessed the clonality of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and
MRSA strains in patients admitted to 1 of 6 intensive care units (ICUs), using spa typing and multilocus variable number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA).Ye

Organoid models of human and mouse ductal pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies due to its late diagnosis and limited response to treatment. Tractable methods to identify and interrogate pathways involved in pancreatic tumorigenesis are urgently needed. We established organoid models from normal and neoplastic murine and human pancreas tissues. Pancreatic organoids can be rapidly generated from resected tumors and biopsies, survive cryopreservation, and exhibit ductal- and disease-stage-specific characteristics. Orthotopically transplanted neoplastic organoids recapitulate the full spectrum of tumor development by forming early-grade neoplasms that progress to locally invasive and metastatic carcinomas. Due to their ability to be genetically manipulated, organoids are a platform to probe genetic cooperation. Comprehensive transcriptional and proteomic analyses of murine pancreatic organoids revealed genes and pathways altered during disease progression. The confirmation of many of these protein changes in human tissues demonstrates that organoids are a facile model system to discover characteristics of this deadly malignancy
