Objective: Radiographic findings to identify central venous catheter misplacement in the arteries, which can cause lethal complications, have not been fully evaluated, and its training is difficult because it is rare. The purpose of this study is to clarify radiographic findings for differentiating central venous and misplaced arterial lines using virtual chest radiographs and elucidate their usefulness in training radiologists.
Methods: This retrospective study included 150 patients (mean age, 67 [SD, ±12] years; 97 men) who underwent colon cancer surgery between January 2018 and December 2020.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses the effectiveness of low-dose radioiodine therapy (RIT) for treating intermediate to high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients in Japan, where shortages of medical facilities have led to outpatient treatments since 2010.
- - Analyzed data from 119 papillary thyroid cancer patients revealed a low overall ablation success rate of 23.4%, with the thyroglobulin (Tg) level at the time of RIT being the only significant predictor for successful outcomes.
- - The findings suggest that current low-dose RIT may be inadequate, especially for those with Tg levels above 9 ng/mL, indicating that higher doses of radioactive iodine could be necessary for better treatment results.
Mechanism of acid adaptation of a fish living in a pH 3.5 lake.

Despite unfavorable conditions, a single species of fish, Osorezan dace, lives in an extremely acidic lake (pH 3.5) in Osorezan, Aomori, Japan. Physiological studies have established that this fish is able to prevent acidification of its plasma and loss of Na(+).
