چکیده
Pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MLNs) are usually detected incidentally during pathologic evaluation of resected pulmonary parenchymal specimens and autopsies. These nodules are generally asymptomatic and most often single. Diffuse pulmonary involvement by MLNs is less frequently described. MLNs are benign lesions and have been associated with neoplastic and non-neoplastic pulmonary conditions and occasionally with extrapulmonary diseases. We report a case of a female patient presenting with multiple and bilateral pulmonary nodules diagnosed with "diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis" by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of diffuse bilateral lung nodules in the radiologic studies.

متن کاملRetroperitoneal Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma Can Mimic a Hydatid Cyst
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is the second most common soft-tissue sarcoma in adults. After the extremities, the retroperitoneal space is the second most common site of this tumor. A 50-year-old man presented with a right retroperitoneal, thick-walled, cystic multilocular mass measuring 10 × 10 cm that was thought to be a type CE 5 hydatid cyst preoperatively.

Since the human lifespan has increased in recent years, there has been an increase in the geriatric population. Hip fractures, which are commonly seen among the elderly, are injuries with high mortality and morbidity rates, resulting due to the limited physiological reserves of the elderly, their preoperative medical conditions, trauma, and major surgical combinations (1, 2). The average lifesp...
متن کاملCdc42 GEF Tuba regulates the junctional configuration of simple epithelial cells
Epithelial cells are typically arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern, minimizing their cell-cell contact areas, which suggests that some tension operates for shaping of the cell boundaries. However, the molecular mechanisms that generate such tension remain unknown. We found that Tuba, which is a Cdc42-specific GEF, was concentrated at the apical-most region of cell junctions in simple epithelia...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of bacteriocinogenic lactic bacteria from M-Tuba and Tepache, two traditional fermented beverages in México
Mexican Tuba (M-Tuba) and Tepache are Mexican fermented beverages prepared mainly with pineapple pulp and coconut palm, respectively. At present, reports on the microbiota and nutritional effects of both beverages are lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine whether M-Tuba and Tepache contain cultivable lactic acid bacteria (LAB) capable of producing bacteriocins. Tepache and M-Tuba ...
