Unilateral Enlarged Right Accessory Axillary Breast Tissue in a Male: A Case Report.

Accessory breast tissue, associated with polymastia and polythelia, presents challenges and concerns, particularly when patients fear malignancy. While occurring in 1-6% of cases, accessory breasts, often located bilaterally in the axillae, necessitate careful examination. We report a 35-year-old male with painful axillary swelling who underwent high-resolution ultrasonography (HR-USG) and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), revealing proper axillary breast tissue. Subsequent excision biopsy confirmed accessory axillary breast without malignancy. In conclusion, surgical removal of accessory axillary breasts is advisable, addressing cosmetic concerns and minimizing cancer risks.

Biomedical,clinical and environmental applications of platinum-based nanohybrids: An updated review.

Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have numerous applications in various sectors, including pharmacology, nanomedicine, cancer therapy, radiotherapy, biotechnology and environment mitigation like removal of toxic metals from wastewater, photocatalytic degradation of toxic compounds, adsorption, and water splitting. The multifaceted applications of Pt NPs because of their ultra-fine structures, large surface area, tuned porosity, coordination-binding, and excellent physiochemical properties. The various types of nanohybrids (NHs) of Pt NPs can be fabricated by doping with different metal/metal oxide/polymer-based materials. There are several methods to synthesize platinum-based NHs, but biological processes are admirable because of green, economical, sustainable, and non-toxic. Due to the robust physicochemical and biological characteristics of platinum NPs, they are widely employed as nanocatalyst, antioxidant, antipathogenic, and anticancer agents. Indeed, Pt-based NHs are the subject of keen interest and substantial research area for biomedical and clinical applications. Hence, this review systematically studies antimicrobial, biological, and environmental applications of platinum and platinum-based NHs, predominantly for treating cancer and photo-thermal therapy. Applications of Pt NPs in nanomedicine and nano-diagnosis are also highlighted. Pt NPs-related nanotoxicity and the potential and opportunity for future nano-therapeutics based on Pt NPs are also discussed.

Giant Plexiform Schwannoma on the Medial Aspect of the Left Thigh.

Plexiform schwannoma (PS), or neurilemmoma, is an uncommon benign tumor originating from a peripheral nerve sheath. It consists of Schwann cells organized in an intricate, web-like pattern. A male farmer in his 50s from rural India sought medical attention for a painless mass on his left thigh, present for 30 years. Physical examination revealed a firm, non-tender mass with restricted mobility. Imaging, including X-ray and ultrasound, indicated a neoplastic lesion. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology revealed spindle-shaped cells, prompting a provisional diagnosis of a spindle cell lesion. Surgical excision was performed successfully, with histopathological examination confirming PS. He experienced no postoperative complications, and at the one-year follow-up, the complete resolution of symptoms and normal daily activities were observed.

Biogenesis and Application of Nickel Nanoparticles: A Review.

Biogenic synthesis of Nanoparticles (NPs) is attractive due to their ecological benefits and cheap, rapid, and sustainable nature. Among them, Nickel Oxide NPs (NiO-NPs) are acquired for their varied catalytic and clinical applications, as they have antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, anticancer, antioxidant, remediation, and enzyme inhibition properties. Though several chemical-dependent methods were applied for the fabrication of nanoparticles, due to their substantial disadvantages, mainly toxicity and higher cost synthesis methods, the more secure, greener, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and synthetic methods are in demand. Greener approaches can take away the arduousness and complications of physicochemical methods. The present review is aimed at displaying the recent advancement related to the catalytic activity, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity, and antioxidant application of green synthesized Nickle. In this study, nickle oxide nanoparticles have been highlighted along with their sustainable synthesis options.

Enantioselective Catalysis by Using Short, Structurally Defined DNA Hairpins as Scaffold for Hybrid Catalysts.

A new type of DNA metal complex hybrid catalyst, which is based on single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides, is described. It was shown that oligonucleotides as short as 14 nucleotides that fold into hairpin structures are suitable as nucleic acid components for DNA hybrid catalysts. With these catalysts, excellent enantioinduction in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions with selectivity values as high as 96 % enantiomeric excess (ee) can be achieved. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that a rather flexible loop combined with a rigid stem region provides DNA scaffolds with these high selectivity values.
