In this article, we present the concept of extended Seidel energy by employing a generalized extended matrix to study various molecular properties, including the Kovats retention index, boiling point, enthalpy of formation, entropy, acentric factor, and octanol-water partition coefficient. Our research broadens the scope of energy matrices in graph theory, with a particular emphasis on Sombor energy, reduced Sombor energy, average Sombor energy, Banhatti Sombor energy and reduced Banhatti Sombor energy. We examined the correlation of these graph-based energy descriptors with the thermodynamic properties of Benzenoid hydrocarbons (BHC), uncovering strong relationships between these indices and different molecular attributes.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinomas are typically low grade but may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei, causing accumulation of gelatinous material in the abdomen, often referred to as 'jelly belly'. In rare instances, the tumor may perforate into the retroperitoneal cavity leading to the phenomenon described as pseudomyxoma retroperitonei or extraperitonei.

The hallmark imaging features of HCC on multiphasic cross-sectional imaging can be explained by the multistep process of hepatocarcinogenesis and is seen in 60% of cases. However, approximately 40% of cases do not abide by the classic imaging appearance and may pose a diagnostic challenge for radiologists.

This article emphasizes the importance of high-quality race and ethnicity data in health equity research, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The article defines what constitutes high-quality race and ethnicity data, discusses challenges in using these data, and provides 2 cases that illustrate the role of these data in identifying and redressing health inequity.

The 'Third Pole', home to numerous glaciers, serves as vital water reserves for a significant portion of the Asian population and has garnered global attention within the context of climate change due to their highly vulnerable nature. While a general decline in global glacial extent has been observed in recent decades, the pronounced regional imbalances across the Third Pole present a perplexing anomaly. To assess the impact of glacier mass changes in the Gangotri basin, we conducted a comprehensive analysis using remote sensing data to estimate spatially resolved mass changes from 2000 to 2023.
