Colorectal cancers are among the commonest causes of cancer related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Adenomatous polyps which develop dysplastic changes are the main cause of invasive cancer. P53 inactivation is a key genetic step in the occurrence of cancer. The degree of the formation of the blood vessels inside the tumor (microvessel density) increases the ability of the tumor to have local infiltration, metastatic potential and may reflect the tumor metabolic activity. A total number of 104 patients who underwent surgeries for colorectal adenocarcinoma followed for 5 years. Patients were categorized into 4 categories based on tumor expression of P53 and micro-vessel density, 64.42% of patients were females, 58.7% died from colorectal cancer during the 5-year period, 37.5% had 5-years survival free from cancer, and 16.3% survived with recurrence, 28.8% had over expression of both P53 and MVD. A significant correlation was found between P53 and MVD with the site of tumor occurrence being more significant with left-sided colonic tumors, the clinical stage being more significant with stage III disease, and with the survival rate being more significant in patients who died during this period, P values 0.025, 0.01, and 0.001 respectively. Overexpression of P53 and MVD are associated with higher mortality and more advanced disease. We advise a more aggressive form of therapy for colorectal adenocarcinomas expressing high level of both factors and tumors with high expression of both factors may need modification in the chemotherapeutic drugs or radiation therapy with closer follow up than tumors having lower expression.
Primary central nervous lymphoma is an aggressive disease without evidence of systemic spread with an annual incidence of 7 cases per 1,000,000 people in the United States.

A 68-year-old gentleman of Malay ethnicity presented with left sided weakness associated with reduced sensation for one month. The patient was healthy and denied any constitutional symptoms, joint pains, rash or seizures. There was no recent trauma. Physical examination revealed left upper and lower limb motor grade power of 3/5 with upper motor neurone weakness of the left facial nerve. He had brisk reflexes and an upgoing extensor plantar response. Brain imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) showed two lesions one occupying the right head of the caudate nucleus and the other seen at the right side of the body of the corpus callosum. Histomorphology and immunohistochemistry confirmed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) of non-germinal center type. He was treated with De Angelis protocol which involves chemoradiotherapy consisting of high dose methotrexate and whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), followed by high dose cytarabine. Brain imaging post chemoradiation showed complete remission.

Prompt detection with appropriate therapeutic protocol could significantly minimise the permanent neurological deficits in patients with this rare and challenging lymphoid malignancy.

To evaluate the differences of ocular abnormalities between children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and non-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder children using siblings of cases in Jordan.

A case-control study of 55 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and 55 children without the disorder as a control group using siblings of cases. Examination included visual acuity, motility, anterior and posterior segments, convergence, optical coherence tomography and corneal topography.

Thirty-eight patients from the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder group had visual acuity better than 0.8 in both eyes; 36.4% had normal cyclorefraction, while 54.5% had mild hyperopia. Most of them did not need glasses. Tomography showed normal values with no statistically significant differences between the two groups. GW5074 The near point of convergence showed significantly abnormal values in 41.9% of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Pentacam measurements showed normal values with no statistically significant differences between the two groups.

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder show significant low near point convergence compared with the study control group.

Necrotizing neutrophilic dermatoses can clinically resemble necrotizing fasciitis and therefore pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Given their similar presentations, misdiagnosis and inappropriate or delayed treatments are possible.

We discuss the case of a woman with acute myeloid leukemia who presented with fevers, chills, cough, and a leg wound. She underwent amputation of her lower extremity after she was presumed to have necrotizing fasciitis; however, symptoms persisted. She was ultimately diagnosed with and treated for necrotizing Sweet's syndrome with notable clinical improvement.

Both, necrotizing neutrophilic dermatoses and necrotizing fasciitis, grossly affect the skin and are associated with rapidly progressing systemic features including fevers, chills, leukocytosis, and elevated inflammatory markers. Recent literature in dermatology addresses these similarities and the appropriate approach to management; however, it is critical that medical and surgical subspecialties have an understanding of necrotizing neutrophilic dermatoses and their clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, as well as therapeutic interventions. Familiarity with this entity can mitigate the risk of misdiagnosis, morbidity, and mortality.

With this report, we seek to review the features that are suggestive of and aid in the diagnosis of necrotizing neutrophilic dermatoses to help prevent significant and avoidable morbidity.
