Introduction: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) of soft tissue is a rare type of soft tissue sarcoma affecting usually lower extremities in young adults. The main challenges in the management of this disease include difficulties in diagnosis, aggressiveness of the cancer with rapid progression, and inadequate treatment, especially in small centers with few cases.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a young woman diagnosed with CCS of soft tissue, stage IV.
Accurate and unbiased classification of breast lesions is pivotal for early diagnosis and treatment, and a deep learning approach can effectively represent and utilize the digital content of images for more precise medical image analysis. Breast ultrasound imaging is useful for detecting and distinguishing benign masses from malignant masses. Based on the different ways in which benign and malignant tumors affect neighboring tissues, i.

These materials should have good thermal qualities and be flame resistant in addition to helping to achieve interior comfort. The fundamental components under consideration are freely accessible in Ivory Coast and include clay mortar as a fire retardant, potato starch as a binder, and recycled paper granules as a filler.

This study focuses on the numerical analysis of a challenging issue involving the regulation of the human body's microenvironment through personalized ventilation. We intended to first concentrate on the main flow, namely, the personalized ventilation jet, before connecting the many interacting components that are impacting this microenvironment (human body plume, personalized ventilation jet, and the human body itself as a solid obstacle). Using the laminar model and the large eddy simulation (LES) model, the flow field of a cross-shaped jet with very low Reynolds numbers is examined numerically.

The promotion of nature-based solutions represents an efficient approach to meet sustainability targets in cities and improve the quality of life of citizens. The association of large components of green infrastructure, such as urban parks, with physical activity can counteract the sedentary lifestyle endemic to cities and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals (Carrus et al.
