Statistical Analysis of the Axillary Temperatures Measured by a Predictive Electronic Thermometer in Healthy Japanese Adults.

Body temperature is important for diagnosing illnesses. However, its assessment is often a difficult task, considering the large individual differences. Although 37 °C has been the gold standard of body temperature for over a century, the temperature of modern people is reportedly decreasing year by year.

An aggressive nodular fasciitis lesion protruding from the palm (USP6 gene fusion helps differentiate from sarcomas): A case report.

Nodular fasciitis is a mesenchymal lesion, which has been viewed as a reactive process. The MYH9-USP6 fusion gene was recently detected in nodular fasciitis, and nodular fasciitis is now considered to be a self-limiting neoplastic process. Recently, a case of nodular fasciitis that recurred a number of times and metastasized to soft tissues was reported, and the features of aggressive cases of nodular fasciitis are currently under investigation.

Influence of cellular shape on sliding behavior of ciliates.

Some types of ciliates accumulate on solid/fluid interfaces. This behavior is advantageous to survival in nature due to the presence of sufficient nutrition and stable environments. Recently, the accumulating mechanisms of at the interface were investigated.
