Recent studies have shown that in the presence of noise, both fronts propagating into a metastable state and so-called pushed fronts propagating into an unstable state, exhibit diffusive wandering about the average position. In this paper, we derive an expression for the effective diffusion coefficient of such fronts, which was motivated before on the basis of a multiple scale ansatz. Our systematic derivation is based on the decomposition of the fluctuating front into a suitably positioned average profile plus fluctuating eigenmodes of the stability operator. While the fluctuations of the front position in this particular decomposition are a Wiener process on all time scales, the fluctuations about the time-averaged front profile relax exponentially.

Objective: This study investigates the diagnostic value of Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) in biparametric MRI (bp-MRI) for the detection of muscular infiltration in bladder cancer, and to investigate whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value can function as a potential indicator of bp-MRI VI-RADS for patient benefit.
Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study enrolled 81 patients with pathologically confirmed bladder cancer from October 2019 to November 2021. Two readers independently scored the T2-weighted images and diffusion-weighted images of each index lesion based on the VI-RADS criteria, subsequently deriving the bp-MRI VI-RADS scores.
Dimensional confinement and superdiffusive rotational motion of uniaxial colloids in the presence of cylindrical obstacles.

In biological systems such as cells, the macromolecules, which are anisotropic particles, diffuse in a crowded medium. In the present work, we have studied the diffusion of spheroidal particles diffusing between cylindrical obstacles by varying the density of the obstacles as well as the spheroidal particles. Analytical calculation of the free energy showed that the orientational vector of a single oblate particle will be aligned perpendicular, and a prolate particle will be aligned parallel to the symmetry axis of the cylindrical obstacles in equilibrium.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral nerve entrapment disorder that is diagnosed using clinical signs and symptoms and confirmed via nerve conduction studies (NCSs). While NCS is a semi-invasive procedure, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that detects macroscopic nerve abnormalities and evaluates a patient's surgical or medication treatment options. This study assessed magnetic resonance neurography (MRN)'s diagnostic and grading value by comparing it to electrodiagnostic studies in patients with CTS and healthy individuals.

Primary uterine non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is rarely reported, as its incidence is extremely low. We describe a 72 year old patient with primary uterine non-Hodgkin's lymphoma stage IV, diffuse B-cell large cells, who responded well to cytotoxic chemotherapy (R-CHOP). Radiological investigations exhibited certain characteristics, including magnetic resonance T2 weighted imaging, enhanced scanning, diffusion weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient values.

The hyaline-vascular variant of Castleman disease (HVCD) is relatively uncommon and demonstrates no specific clinical or laboratory findings; therefore, its preoperative diagnosis warrants a radiological evaluation. This study aimed to review imaging findings of HVCD, focusing on perilesional fat stranding and fatty proliferation. Patients with a pathologically confirmed HVCD diagnosis who had undergone CT were recruited from five hospitals from January 2000 to March 2023.
