Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer screening is essential but may miss some cases, so women should be attentive to changes in their breasts for early detection.
- This study developed 3D-printed models to help simulate breast tumors and surveyed surgeons to evaluate how realistic these models felt.
- Results showed a model that scored 7.1 out of 10 on simulating a real tumor, indicating the models could enhance training for medical professionals and education for patients.
Cs diffused into the environment due to a nuclear power plant accident has caused serious problems for safe crop production. In plants, Cs is similar in its ionic form to K. Cs is absorbed and transported mainly by the K transport mechanism.

In the present study, aiming to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing the Cyp2c55 expression, which is predominantly observed in colonic tissues, germ-free, antibiotic-administered and colitic mice, as well as mouse colonoids, were used as experimental models. RNA sequencing showed comparable decreases in the colonic Cyp2c55 expression in germ-free and antibiotic-administered mice, when compared with that in specific pathogen-free mice.

- The study assessed the effects of prophylactic neck dissection and additional therapy on patients undergoing transoral surgery for hypopharyngeal cancer from 2015 to 2021.
- Out of 221 patients, a high 3-year local recurrence-free survival rate of 89.1% was observed, but positive margins led to higher rates of regional recurrence and distant metastasis, though local recurrence did not affect overall survival.
- The conclusion suggests that monitoring for recurrences is important and that prophylactic neck dissection might not be essential for all patients with positive margins.
Unlabelled: Although the development of disinfection technologies with novel mechanisms has stagnated, we demonstrate the bactericidal effects and mechanisms of high-speed nanodroplet generation technology. The first development of this technology in 2017 gushes out a water droplet of 10 nm in size at 50 m/s; however, the target surface does not become completely wet. Nanodroplets were exposed to biofilm models of , , , and .
