  • A 73-year-old woman experienced bloody discharge and skin thickening in her right breast, prompting concerns for Paget disease.
  • A skin punch biopsy revealed high-grade infiltrating carcinoma with squamous features, ruling out other types like metaplastic carcinoma due to her medical history.
  • A lumpectomy confirmed invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the nipple, linked to Bowen disease, emphasizing the need for awareness of rare diagnoses in patients with prior breast cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • Precipitation nowcasting is vital for effective flood and river management but has historically faced challenges that recent advances in deep generative modeling (DGM) aim to address.
  • Traditional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, like those used by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have been inadequate in accurately predicting precipitation events, leading researchers to explore advanced machine learning methods, specifically physics-embedded approaches.
  • The study highlights that NowcastNet, a advanced DGM method, significantly outperforms the latest NWP model (HRRR) in predicting heavy rainfall, suggesting that integrating these machine learning advancements could enhance flood response systems and water resource management.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, and numerous functional and structural differences have been identified in the brains of individuals with ADHD compared to controls. This study uses data from the baseline sample of the large, epidemiologically informed Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study of children aged 9-10 years old ( = 7979). Cross-validated Poisson elastic net regression models were used to predict a dimensional measure of ADHD symptomatology from within- and between-network resting-state correlations and several known risk factors, such as biological sex, socioeconomic status, and parental history of problematic alcohol and drug use.
