Fallopian tube carcinoma, presenting as an inguinal hernia, is a rare entity. We report the case of a woman in her 70s with a history of hysterectomy and right oophorectomy 29 years prior who presented with left cervical lymphadenopathy and elevated CA125 levels. Imaging revealed a tubular structure in the left pelvic region extending into the inguinal hernia sac.

Herein, we report a rare case of localized ureteral amyloidosis in a patient with malignant lymphoma. A 73-year-old female patient visited our institution for a comprehensive examination and treatment of malignant lymphoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed left hydronephrosis and a left lower ureteral mass.

To improve the performance of studless tires on ice surfaces, the mechanism of liquid film removal must be elucidated. In this study, an experimental system is developed to simulate the running conditions of a studless tire, and the microscopic liquid film flow generated between the rubber surface and glass is observed to evaluate the liquid thickness distribution. Liquid film removal by micropores on foamed rubber samples is investigated by visualizing the liquid thickness in the micropores.

Purpose: Using a magnetic resonance (MR) image generation technique with deep learning, we elucidated whether changing the training data patterns affected image generation accuracy.

Methods: The pix2pix training model generated T1-weighted images from T2-weighted images or FLAIR images. Head MR images obtained at our hospital were used in this study.

Article Synopsis
  • Reproductive success in non-human primates is influenced by both resident and non-resident males, but individual-level success of non-resident males has been less studied.
  • A study of Japanese macaques on Shodoshima Island found that non-resident males can achieve reproductive success comparable to resident males and identified a specific large non-resident male who was particularly successful.
  • The research indicated that while mature males tend to have higher paternity success, both resident and non-resident males contribute to the production of paternal siblings within the same age group.
