During the intervention, amass was discovered, and biopsies were made. The anatomopathology results were in favor of an epithelioid angiosarcoma with atypical expression of CD31 and ERG- and no amplification of c-MYC. The main objective of this review is to highlight the difficulty of differential diagnosis, but also to evaluate overall survival according to treatments.Methods We performed a large review of the literature using PubMed for reports concerning angiosarcoma arising from Dacron grafts from 1981 to 2019. Articles presenting potentially relevant studies were read and analyzed.Results In our review, most of the patients were male (10 cases over 11 described), with amedian age of 63 years old (50-84 years old, 11 cases described). The overall interval time for the diagnosis after the endoprosthesis placement was 7.8 years (from 3.5 years to 17 years, 10 cases with the description) and the overall survival was 5 months (from 0 to 10 months, the only patient alive is not included, and only 8 cases had the description).Conclusion In most of the reviewed cases, there was no information concerning immunohistochemistry. Biopsies remain the standard for the diagnosis with immunochemistry and molecular test to avoid amisdiagnosis. Epithelioid angiosarcomas derived from Dacron grafts are a rare entity, which are difficult to diagnose because of the paucity of cases. Prognosis is poor, even if surgical option is possible.Picoxystrobin is a synthetic strobilurin fungicide widely used in Egypt to control downy and powdery mildews, a risk that is significant also in cultivating strawberries. In the current work, the safety to consumers from the use of picoxystrobin in strawberries along with its residue behaviour was studied. Supervised field trials were conducted to investigate the residue dynamics and terminal residues of picoxystrobin in strawberries under Egyptian conditions for several agricultural practices including worst-case scenarios. For the measurement of residues in fruit, a QuEChERS-based protocol coupled with LC-MS/MS was employed and successfully validated at 0.001 mg kg-1. A decline of picoxystrobin residues in fruit fitted a first-order decay process with a calculated t1/2 of 5.4 days with a significant degradation (79%) after 14 days. A consumer risk assessment was performed employing both FAO/WHO and EFSA approaches, in which no significant health risks after consumption of strawberries were identified.Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), as an opportunistic neurotropic parasite of the Apicomplexa family, was firstly described in 1908. As attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents and often persists into adulthood, the purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the relationship between T. gondii infection and ADHD.The data were systematically collected from seven electronic databases up to May 1st 2019 with no language restriction. This study was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; code CRD42020149353). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using a random effects model. Seven studies involving five cross-sectional and two case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis.Results indicated that there was a statistically non-significant association between exposure to T. gondii infection and increased risk of ADHD based on the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody (2.02 [95% CI 0.97-4.20]; I2=58.7%). However, obtained results of Egger's tests for anti-T. learn more gondii IgG antibody showed publication bias (P=0.014).Sensitivity analysis revealed stable results for the association between anti-T. gondii IgG antibody with ADHD.Given the small number of studies in this field and the obtained results, it cannot be conclusively stated that T. gondii is a risk factor for ADHD.It is important to have reliable information about the relationship between T. gondii and ADHD around the world; as it may lead to better insight to elucidate the possible association of toxoplasmosis and the pathogenesis of ADHD.Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) remains a controversial diagnosis, with lack of consensus on essential features of the disorder and its boundaries. Within the framework of object relations theory (ORT), core organizing, structural features define NPD and provide a coherent conceptual framework for understanding clinical features of the disorder. In the ORT model, both grandiose and vulnerable presentations of NPD are characterized by a specific form of self-pathology, reflecting the impact of a grandiose self-structure in the setting of borderline personality organization. The grandiose self-structure provides some stability of self-functioning but does not confer the self-regulatory capacities provided by normal identity formation and is reliant on maintaining a sense of the self as exceptional. We compare the ORT model of NPD to diagnostic criteria in the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) of the DSM-5, highlighting significant correspondence between the two models as well as conceptual differences.Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is an empirically validated psychodynamic psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder (BPD), based on object relations theory, that has clinical utility for individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Given the effectiveness of TFP for patients with BPD, including a number of patients with comorbid NPD, we have adapted the tactics and techniques of TFP with specific modifications for patients with NPD or narcissistic traits. TFP for NPD (TFP-N) retains core elements of the treatment, including a contracting phase and an interpretive process designed to identify and modify maladaptive mental representations of self and others that underlie the affect and behavioral dysregulation in those with personality disorders including NPD. The major goal of TFP-N is the focus on disturbed interpersonal patterns of relating in the here-and-now of the therapeutic interaction as a vehicle to effect enduring changes in personality organization and real-world changes in the areas of love and work.
