Article Synopsis
  • Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (HIMT) is a rare liver tumor that is often misdiagnosed due to its vague symptoms and varied imaging results.
  • In a reported case, HIMT was initially mistaken for liver cancer until it was accurately identified through histopathology after surgery.
  • Accurate diagnosis may allow for treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs instead of surgery, highlighting the need for further research into the causes and clinical aspects of HIMT.

Dengue virus (DENV) infection can induce life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome in infected patients. DENV is a threat to global health due to its growing numbers and incidence of infection in the last 50 years. During infection, DENV expresses ten structural and nonstructural proteins modulating cell responses to benefit viral replication.

Article Synopsis
  • Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings on Mg alloys show strong adhesion but have issues with corrosion due to porous structures allowing aggressive ions to infiltrate.
  • A dense tantalum oxide (TaO) nanofilm was applied to seal these pores using atomic layer deposition (ALD), which enhances corrosion resistance and regulates the degradation rate.
  • Characterization techniques revealed that the TaO film is mostly amorphous and effectively seals the MAO coating, significantly reducing current density and improving overall corrosion resistance.
