Background: Canadian clinical guidelines recommend at least annual and up to quarterly bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing among sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM). However, testing rates are suboptimal. Innovative solutions are needed to close the gap because there is currently limited knowledge on how best to approach this issue.

Introduction: Uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) is a rare tumor that arises in the myometrium of the uterus. It is regarded as an intermediate malignant tumor according to the recent World Health Organization classification. Few studies have reported the radiologic findings of STUMP, and the differentiation of STUMP from leiomyoma remains controversial.

Introduction: Clear cell hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare subtype of HCC. Histologically, clear cell HCC is characterized by the cytoplasmic accumulation of glycogen with a clear cell appearance, constituting > 80% of tumor cells. Radiologically, clear cell HCC demonstrates early enhancement and washout similar to conventional HCC.

The dynamics of a nuclear open quantum system could be revealed in the correlations between the breakup fragments of halo nuclei. The breakup mechanism of a proton halo nuclear system is of particular interest as the Coulomb polarization may play an important role, which, however, remains an open question. Here we use a highly efficient silicon detector array and measure the correlations between the breakup fragments of B incident on Sn at near-barrier energies.

Background & Aims: The Liver Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) version 2018 simplified the definition of threshold growth to '≥50% size increase in a mass in ≤6 months'. However, the diagnostic value of threshold growth for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remained unclear. We evaluated the value of threshold growth, as defined by LI-RADS v2018, in diagnosing HCCs.
