    Abstract Hemangiomas are benign soft tissue tumors which are congenital and occur due to abnormal proliferations of blood vessels. Most common location of hemangiomas is subcutaneous adipose tissue, but skeletal muscle hemangiomas are very rare which make up to 0.8% of all hemangiomas. Usually, the intramuscular lesions are common in thigh region and calf muscles and are relatively rare in the facial muscles. Long-standing lesions results in phleboliths, and this may cause some symptoms. Conventional treatment of these isolated lesions may not yield satisfactory results. Hence, surgical excision of the lesion in toto results in aesthetically pleasing results with low chances of recurrence. In this article, we report a case of a left masseter intramuscular hemangioma in 19-year-old patient which was successfully managed by complete surgical excision.

    Abstract Recent studies have uncovered various physiological functions of CDK5 in many nonneuronal tissues. Upregulation of CDK5 and/or its activator p35 in neurons promotes healthy neuronal functions, but their overexpression in nonneuronal tissues is causally linked to cancer of many origins. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which CDK5 recruits diverse tissue-specific substrates to elicit distinct phenotypes in sixteen different human cancers. The emerging theme suggests that CDK5's role as an oncogene or anti-oncogene depends upon its subcellular localization. CDK5 mostly acts as an oncogene, but in gastric cancer, it is a tumor suppressor due to its unique nuclear localization. This indicates that CDK5's access to certain nuclear substrates converts it into an anti-oncogenic kinase. While acting as a bonafide oncogene, CDK5 also activates a few cancer-suppressive pathways in some cancers, presumably due to the mislocalization of nuclear substrates in the cytoplasm. Therefore, directing CDK5 to the nucleus or exporting tumor-suppressive nuclear substrates to the cytoplasm may be promising approaches to combat CDK5-induced oncogenicity, analogous to neurotoxicity triggered by nuclear CDK5. Furthermore, while p35 overexpression is oncogenic, hyperactivation of CDK5 by inducing p25 formation results in apoptosis, which could be exploited to selectively kill cancer cells by dialing up CDK5 activity, instead of inhibiting it. CDK5 thus acts as a molecular rheostat, with different activity levels eliciting distinct functional outcomes. Finally, as CDK5's role is defined by its substrates, targeting them individually or in conjunction with CDK5 should create potentially valuable new clinical opportunities.

    Abstract LIMK2, a serine-specific kinase, was discovered as an actin dynamics regulating kinase. Emerging studies have shown its pivotal role in numerous human malignancies and neurodevelopmental disorder. Inducible knockdown of LIMK2 fully reverses tumorigenesis, underscoring its potential as a clinical target. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to its upregulation and its deregulated activity in various diseases largely remain unknown. Similarly, LIMK2's peptide substrate specificity has not been analyzed. This is particularly important for LIMK2, a kinase almost three decades old, as only a handful of its substrates are known to date. As a result, most of LIMK2's physiological and pathological roles have been assigned to its regulation of actin dynamics via cofilin. This review focuses on LIMK2's unique catalytic mechanism, substrate specificity and its upstream regulators at transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational stages. Moreover, emerging studies have unveiled a few tumor suppressors and oncogenes as LIMK2's direct substrates, which in turn have uncovered novel molecular mechanisms by which it plays pleiotropic roles in human physiology and pathologies independent of actin dynamics.

    Abstract The administration of vaccines using a combination approach ensures better coverage and reduces the number of injections and cost. The present study assessed liposome-complexed DNA-corresponding proteins of hepatitis E and B viruses (HEV and HBV) as combined vaccine candidates in rhesus monkeys. The HEV and HBV components consisted of 450 bps, neutralizing the epitope/s (NE) region, and 685 bps small (S) envelope gene-corresponding proteins, respectively. Three groups (

    Abstract Due to a history of coerced sterilization, a federal Medicaid sterilization policy mandates that a specific consent form be signed by a patient at least thirty days prior to when the patient undergoes sterilization. However, in contemporary obstetrical practice, the Medicaid sterilization policy serves as a policy-level barrier to autonomously desired care. We review the clinical and ethical implications of the current Medicaid sterilization policy. After discussing the utility and impact of waiting periods for other surgical procedures, we explore the psychology of time required for decision-making and consider scientific understanding of regret. We argue that the current Medicaid sterilization waiting period is clinically and ethically unjustifiable and that the policy ought to be revised in light of the goals, preferences, and concerns of the people most affected by it. While the need for continued protection against coercion remains, the current mandated waiting period does little to enforce the high-quality shared decision-making that is desired for sterilization counseling.

    Abstract Visual hallucinations are rare occurrences in patients presenting with hyponatremia. When they occur, the patient experiences these hallucinations with their eyes closed (vs. opened) and is insightful about the false perception. We present the case of a 64-year-old male diagnosed with hyponatremia caused by a gastrointestinal illness, which led to visual hallucinations. The patient was treated with electrolyte infusion, and the hallucinations were resolved. Detailed history-taking is significant when dealing with such cases as hallucinations to differentiate it from other causes. Hallucination caused by hyponatremia can resolve with prompt correction of sodium, and the patients can be reassured.
