Abstract Introduction/Objective Giant-cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is rare and indistinguishable from giant cell bone. GCT-ST arising in the breast exceedingly rare, with only ten cases previously reported. Methods/Case Report We present a 46-year-old female history lupus, presenting an enlarging mass her left breast. Needle core biopsy showed hypercellular proliferation spindle cells arr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is sometimes difficult to distinguish from other giant-cell-rich tumors such as chondroblastoma (CHB) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). The usefulness of p63 as a diagnostic marker for GCT is controversial. While there have been no reports about p63 as a prognostic marker for local recurrence, various p63-positive rates in GCT have been report...

BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that cognitive and motor skills are related. The precise impact of cognitive impairment on sport proficiency, however, is unknown. AIMS This study investigated group and individual differences in cognitive profiles in a large cohort of track and field athletes, basketball players, swimmers and table tennis players with (N=468) and without (N=162) intelle...

Abstract Background In 2010, the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) proposed new criteria indicating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can be diagnosed if fasting threshold ≤92 mg/dL, 1-h ≤180 or 2-h ≤153 mg/dL are exceeded during 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed at 24–28 weeks gestation. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommend...

Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a very uncommon tumor, assumed to arise from the ectopic gonadal tissue along the embryonal route of the genital ridge. A 54 years old female patient presented with a mass and acute pain in abdomen. Exploratory laparatomy revealed hemoperitoneum with a large mesenteric mass measuring 13 × 12 cm in size, showing extensive areas of haemorrhages. Histopat...

Gestational diabetes increases the risk of a range of adverse perinatal outcomes, including breastfeeding failure, but the best cut-off point for gestational diabetes is unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between mild gestational glucose tolerance impairment and the early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). This is an observational study of 768 women with...

Objective: Type 2 diabetes has been dramatically increasing and becoming a major public issue in China. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common complications during pregnancy causing severe complications both for the gravida and offspring without systematic management. Furthermore, GDM can also increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome for the mother and offspring...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the small bones (small-bone GCT) is usually rare and considered somewhat different from conventional GCT. The purpose of this study was to investigate and report the clinicopathological features of 11 cases with small-bone GCT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient information was obtained with the help of questionnaires. X-rays and paraffin blocks obt...

BACKGROUND Acute postprandial hyperglycemia is an important affector for atherosclerosis in subjects with glucose intolerance. We analyzed the relationship of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) with fasting and post-challenge plasma glucose levels according to different time points during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). METHODS In 663 subjects with fasting hyperglycemia, 75 g OGTT...

Central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors (GCT) have not been epidemiologically well described. Our study describes 2 population-based series of nonpineal CNS GCT. Data on all primary (malignant and nonmalignant) CNS (ICD-O-3 sites: C70.0-C72.9, C75.1-C75.3) GCT diagnosed between 2000 and 2004 from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) and on all malignant GCT diagn...
