The fat halo sign in the small intestine may sometimes be observed in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, but it can represent a normal finding that is possibly related to obesity. The authors report two cases showing these findings.

Morphology and Distribution of Fat Globules in Osteomyelitis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Curr Med Imaging
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital, China.
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphology and distribution characteristics of fat globules in osteomyelitis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Materials And Methods: Patients with pathologically-confirmed osteomyelitis and MRI scans were retrospectively enrolled, and fat globules on the MRI images were analyzed.
Results: Among 103 patients with non-traumatic osteomyelitis, 75 were fat globule negative and 28 were positive.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers cloned and overexpressed a stable lipase enzyme called TnLip from the bacterium Thermotoga naphthophila, which is notable for its high activity and stability at extreme temperatures and pH levels.
- TnLip shows impressive resistance to commercial detergents and enhances its activity with various solvents and salts, making it highly effective for applications in cleaning and fat degradation.
- The enzyme demonstrated significant hydrolytic activity with specific substrates, efficiently breaking down animal fats and oil stains, suggesting its potential use in laundry detergents and environmental cleanup efforts.
Preparation and Characterization of Lutein Co-Amorphous Formulation with Enhanced Solubility and Dissolution.

Lutein is an oxygenated fat-soluble carotenoid and a functional compound with proven health benefits for the human body. Nevertheless, the poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability of lutein greatly limit its application. To address this, we developed an effective approach to enhance the water solubility of lutein through co-amorphous formulation.

Objective: To describe the morphologic sonographic appearances and frequency of the "halo sign" in the setting of fat necrosis on shear wave elastography (SWE).
Methods: Patients with clinically suspected fat necrosis were prospectively scanned using SWE in addition to standard gray-scale and Doppler images. Cases were qualitatively grouped into one of three sonographic appearances: focal hypoechoic lesion with increased internal tissue stiffness ("focal stiffness"), focal hypoechoic lesion with isoechoic or hyperechoic periphery demonstrating increased tissue stiffness relative to the central hypoechoic lesion ("halo stiffness"), heterogeneously echogenic lesion with diffusely increased stiffness ("heterogeneous stiffness").
