Abstract Introduction Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal neoplasm in the world, accounting for 15% of cancer-related deaths. This condition is related to different molecular pathways, among them the recently described serrated pathway, whose characteristic entities, serrated lesions, have undergone important changes in their names and diagnostic criteria in the past thirty years. The multiplicity of denominations and criteria over the last years may be responsible for the low interobserver concordance (IOC) described in the literature. Objectives The present study aims to describe the evolution in classification of serrated lesions, based on the last three publications of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the reproducibility of these criteria by pathologists, based on the evaluation of the IOC. Methods A search was conducted in the PubMed, ResearchGate and Portal Capes databases, with the following terms: sessile serrated lesion; serrated lesions; serrated adenoma; interobserver concordance; and reproducibility. Articles published since 1990 were researched. Results and Discussion The classification of serrated lesions in the past thirty years showed different denominations and diagnostic criteria. The reproducibility and IOC of these criteria in the literature, based on the kappa coefficient, varied in most studies, from very poor to moderate. Conclusions Interobserver concordance and the reproducibility of microscopic criteria may represent a limitation for the diagnosis and appropriate management of these lesions. It is necessary to investigate diagnostic tools to improve the performance of the pathologist's evaluation, for better concordance, and, consequently, adequate diagnosis and treatment.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is recognized as a cause of hypopituitarism even after mild TBI. Although over the past decade, a growing body of research has detailed neuroendocrine changes induced by TBI, the mechanisms and risk factors responsible for this pituitary dysfunction are still unclear. Around the world, sports—especially combative sports—are very popular. However, sports are not generally considered as a cause of TBI in most epidemiological studies, and the link between sports-related head trauma and hypopituitarism has not been investigated until recently. Thus, there is a paucity of data regarding this important concern. Because of the large number of young sports participants with near-normal life expectancy, the implications of undiagnosed or untreated postconcussion pituitary dysfunction can be dramatic. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors of hypopituitarism caused by sports injuries is thus an important issue that concerns both medical staff and sponsors of sports. The aim of this paper was to summarize the best evidence for understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms and to discuss the current data and recommendations on sports-related head trauma as a cause of hypopituitarism.

BackgroundThe nosological status of olfactory reference syndrome (ORS) is a matter of debate and there is uncertainty as to what treatments are effective.MethodThe world literature was searched for reports of cases of ORS. Clinical, nosological and therapeutic information from cases meeting proposed diagnostic criteria for the disorder was summarized and tabulated.ResultsA total of 84 case reports (52 male/32 female) were found. Age of onset was <20 years in almost 60% of cases. Smell-related precipitating events were recorded in 42%. Most patients could not smell the smell or only did so intermittently. Authors of the reports expressed reservations about the delusional nature of the belief in slightly under half of the cases. Over two-thirds were improved or recovered at follow-up, with the disorder responding to antidepressants and psychotherapy more frequently than to neuroleptics.ConclusionsORS is a primary psychiatric syndrome that does not fit well into its current classification as a subtype of delusional disorder, both in terms of its nosology and its response to treatment.

As one of the four Shakespeare’s great tragedies, Macbeth, with its thrilling story line and profound exploration of human nature, has been adapted for plays and movies worldwide. Though Macbeth was introduced to China just before the May 4th Movement in 1919, its characters and plot have attracted the world in the past 100 years. Macbeth was firstly adapted into a folk play Theft of a Nation during the modern play period, to mock Yuan Shikai’s restoration of the monarchy, who was considered as a usurper of Qing dynasty, followed by Li Jianwu’s adaptation Wang Deming, Kun opera Bloody Hands, Taiwanese version of Beijing opera Lust and the City, Hong Kong version of Cantonese opera The Traitor, Macao version of small theater play If I were the King, Anhui opera Psycho, Shaoxing opera General Ma Long, Wu opera Bloody Sword, a monodrama of Sichuan opera Lady Macbeth, and an experimental Kun opera Lady. Therefore, this essay aims to comb the relations among various adaptations of Macbeth, to discover the advantages and disadvantages of different methodologies by examining the spiritual transformations of the main character Macbeth and reinvention of Lady Macbeth, and ultimately to observe acceptance of Chinese public, which might give thoughts to communications of overseas literature in China.

Successful Repair

Laryngotracheoesophageal cleft was reported by Richter in 1792 after he examined an infant at autopsy and found a common lumen of esophagus and laryngotrachea. The next case was not noted until 1949 by Finlay. A recent review shows 40 cases in the world literature to date. Successful surgical approaches to some of these problems have basically employed a lateral pharyngotomy technique. In the case presented herein, the exact pathology was obscured by a severe tetralogy of Fallot and recurrent pneumonitis from a suspected high H-type tracheoesophageal fistula. The length of this cleft prompted an anterior approach with laryngo-fissure, cricoidotomy, and division of four tracheal rings for a complete and successful repair. Thorough endoscopy of all infants suspected of any laryngeal anomaly would yield an earlier diagnosis and opportunity for reconstruction of the cleft.

Complementary therapies are the names given throughout the methods applied in parallel with modern medicine to gain the health of the individual. Interest in complementary therapies from the past to the present day and the frequency of use of these methods continues to increase. Increasing use of complementary therapies by the community and requiring patients to make appropriate and safe decisions in their own care requires that health care professionals have knowledge and skills in complementary therapies. In this context, nurses are expected to identify and develop their own practice of using complementary therapies, and to develop a strategy for these practices. Nurses integrating these practices into patient care and evaluating their outcomes ensure that the care provided to the patient is comprehensive and holistic. In order for these processes to take place, important policies must be established for nurses across the country. In the 1900s many countries developed politics and started to establish certificate programs and projects. Regarding national and international legislation, it is seen that legal regulations are not sufficient, especially for nurses. In this review, national and international legal arrangements for complementary therapies and the place of complementary therapies in nursing will be discussed.

The eruption of the first permanent molars is very important as it provides the harmony of the growth of the face and sufficient occlusion support. A delay in the eruption of this tooth can cause morphological, functional and aesthetic disturbances. These include reduced vertical size of the lower face, extruding the antagonist teeth, malloclusion formation, follicular cyst formation, pericoronal inflammation, and roots resorbtion of the adjacent teeth, as well as functional problems of dentoalveolar area, etc. In this regard, the issue of etiology, pathogenesis, early diagnostics and further treatment of lower first permanent molars retention is very relevant for modern orthodontics. In the literary review, morphological and radiological diagnostic criteria of eruption of first permanent lower molars have been presented. Materials and methods of the research. The article reviews and analyzes literature on the etiology, pathogenesis, early diagnostics of retention of the lower first permanent molars. Results The analysis of the literature pointed to a small number of studies regarding the disrupted eruption of first lower permanent molars. In most cases, they are presented as clinical cases. According to the world literature, the prevalence of delayed eruption of the first molar of the mandible was 0.01% to 0.04%. Data from the world literature indicate that the retention of the lower first molar is a polyfactoral disease. According to the etiological factors authors distinguish general and local. Local factors causing delay in teeth eruption include impaired pathway for teeth eruption, abnormality of the tooth form, hyperplasia, displacement of the rudiment because of the cyst and the tumour, loss of space for eruption, gingival fibrosis, idiopathic conditions. Systemic factors include endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, rickets, craniofacial hypertrophy. In the literary review morphological and radiological diagnostic criteria of eruption disturbance of the first permanent lower molars are presented. Thus, the Korean scientists proposed to determine the depth of the retention, the angle of inclination and the space for their eruption on panoramic radiographs. The review presents the classification of retention types for the first permanent molars of the mandible.
