Thyroid metastasis from ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

Summary: A 56-year-old woman with cervical pain with a history of ovarian clear cell carcinoma stage IIIC was admitted to a primary care doctor. Ultrasonography revealed a microhyperechoic nodule in the thyroid gland and cervical lymph node enlargement, and fine-needle aspiration was performed. The results showed malignancy, and she was admitted to our hospital.

Recent trends in multiple metrics and multimodal analysis for neural activity and pupillometry.

Recent studies focusing on neural activity captured by neuroimaging modalities have provided various metrics for elucidating the functional networks and dynamics of the entire brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can depict spatiotemporal functional neural networks and dynamic characteristics due to its excellent spatial resolution. However, its temporal resolution is limited.

An actin bracket-induced elastoplastic transition determines epithelial folding irreversibility.

During morphogenesis, epithelial sheets undergo sequential folding to form three-dimensional organ structures. The resulting folds are often irreversible, ensuring that morphogenesis progresses in one direction. However, the mechanism establishing folding irreversibility remains unclear.

Landscape changes caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan.

Landscapes are shaped by tectonic, climatic, and surface processes over geological timescales, but we rarely witness the events of marked landscape change. The moment magnitude 7.5 Noto Peninsula earthquake in central Japan was caused by a large thrust faulting, up to nearly 10 meters of slip, that expanded more than 150 kilometers along the fault zone.
