Anaplastic and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas at intervention sites: implications of track seeding and the importance of follow-up monitoring- report of two cases.

Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is widely used to treat benign thyroid nodules. While pre-ablation cancer screenings can produce false-negatives, tumor seeding is rare, and aggressive thyroid cancers following RFA have not been reported. We present two cases of potential track seeding after RFA.

First Measurement of Missing Energy due to Nuclear Effects in Monoenergetic Neutrino Charged-Current Interactions.

We present the first measurement of the missing energy due to nuclear effects in monoenergetic, muon neutrino charged-current interactions on carbon, originating from K^{+}→μ^{+}ν_{μ} decay at rest (E_{ν_{μ}}=235.5  MeV), performed with the J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at the J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source liquid scintillator based experiment. Toward characterizing the neutrino interaction, ostensibly ν_{μ}n→μ^{-}p or ν_{μ}^{12}C→μ^{-}^{12}N, we define the missing energy as the energy transferred to the nucleus (ω) minus the kinetic energy of the outgoing proton(s), E_{m}≡ω-∑T_{p}, and relate this to visible energy in the detector, E_{m}=E_{ν_{μ}}(235.

Prediction of ipsilateral and contralateral pneumothorax using a simple chest X-ray.

Background: Accurate prediction is essential for the effective management of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). To improve prediction, this study primarily focuses on using simple chest X-rays to predict ipsilateral recurrence and contralateral occurrence of SP.

Methods: All consecutive subjects diagnosed with SP from July 2017 to June 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

p-n Transition in Thermoelectric Semiconductor Eskebornite.

Eskebornite (CuFeSe) is a I-III-VI semiconductor with a tetragonal crystal structure, known for its intriguing electrical and magnetic properties. However, experimental studies on this material remain scarce. In this study, Ni-doped eskebornite, CuNiFeSe (x = 0.
