Review Case Reports
Cytologic features of gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma: Three cases report and literature review.
Cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma shows gastric differentiation, and the tumor cell morphology appears benign and unrelated to human papillomavirus, which makes cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma highly susceptible to misdiagnosis as normal glandular epithelium in cytologic diagnosis. ⋯ The "drunken honeycomb" cell arrangement is diagnostically important in liquid-based cytology, especially when three-dimensional spheroids are present, and may be a characteristic cytological finding of well-differentiated cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma.

Patients with gout have an increased risk of developing overall cancers, lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, and bladder cancer. However, more high-quality epidemiologic studies are needed to explore the association between gout and individual cancers more accurately.

Meta Analysis
A network meta-analysis of different acupuncture therapy in the treatment of poststroke cognitive impairment and dementia.
Poststroke cognitive impairment and dementia (PSCID) is a major cause of stroke-related morbidities and mortalities. Over the last few years, there has been growing evidence supporting the effectiveness of needle-related treatments in PSCID. Our goal was to rate the included therapies and assess the clinical effectiveness of various needle-related treatments in patients with PSCID. ⋯ The results show that Different acupuncture methods can improve cognitive function and daily living ability in patients with PSCID. Network meta-analysis revealed that both CT + CFT + ACU and CT + CFT + EA appeared to be more beneficial for daily living activities, while CT + CFT + EA and CT + CFT + AP appeared to be more helpful for cognitive performance in patients with PSCID. Treatments including acupuncture are safer and have a reduced incidence of negative side effects.
