Email: [email protected] Abstract: Mesenteric panniculitis (MP, also known as sclerosing mesenteritis, mesenterial lipodystrophy, retractile mesenteritis) is a rare immune-mediated inflammatory and fibrosing condition with unknown etiology that affects the mesenteric lipocytes. MP is characterized by degeneration and necrosis of the fat tissue, chronic inflammation and the development of fibrosis within the mesenterium. The most common clinical symptoms are abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea and vomiting, palpable tumor formation in the abdomen, weight loss, fever, and symptoms of bowel obstruction. Some patients are asymptomatic and MP is detected incidentally during imaging studies for other reasons. We present a 62-years-old male patient with tumor formation in the abdomen discovered during ultrasound examination for other reasons and diagnosed on magnetic-resonance imaging as mesenteric panniculitis

  • Neurological Effects of COVID-19, Brain Tumors and Regenerative Medicine
    May 2020 The current environment presents many challenges. Mayo Clinic's highest priority is patient and staff safety. We are taking every precaution to manage patient safety to the highest standard through universal masking, enhanced safety protocols, robust screening and COVID-19 testing strategies. Mayo Clinic has a long-standing history of helping our community in crisis while maintaining capacity to care for patients who need it most. We will continuously evaluate the circumstances at each of our sites and follow federal and state mandates to protect the safety of our patients, staff and community. Find resources for providers and answers to questions on referrals and testing for COVID-19 on the Medical Professionals Resource Center. Patient Care Holistic approach improves care for patients with spinal tumors Mayo's spinal oncology specialists may employ proton beam therapy, carbon fiber implants or surgical alternatives ― such as decompression, stabilization, ablation technologies or cement augmentation ― to meet each patient's needs. Discussing the possible neurological signs and symptoms caused by COVID-19 Mayo Clinic discusses the findings of a study of patients with COVID-19, which found that possible neurological signs and symptoms caused by COVID-19 include loss of taste and smell, headache, impaired consciousness, and stroke. Research Patients with testicular tumors should be screened early for paraneoplastic encephalitis Testicular cancer-associated paraneoplastic encephalitis causes severe neurological symptoms in men. The disease begins with a testicular tumor, which appears to cause the immune system to attack the brain. Cellular therapy, better radiation, wider access to clinical trials could help boost survival rates for patients with glioblastoma Research confirms that, despite improvements in median and short-term survival rates in glioblastoma, the percentage of patients achieving five-year survival remains low.
