However, expanding NMR applicability to samples that are not necessarily cylindrical requires a new approach. In this study, we introduce a method for obtaining solution NMR signals from flat samples, such as flat containers or layered structures like a fuel cell.

The present study aimed to investigate β-catenin expression patterns in hysterectomy specimens of patients with endometrioid type EC using immunohistochemistry, and to examine the prognostic impact of β-catenin. The study was a single-institutional, retrospective cohort trial enrolling consecutive patients with a postoperative histopathological diagnosis of endometrioid EC who underwent hysterectomy between January 2015 and December 2018.
