Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a subtype of epithelial neoplasms commonly found in salivary glands, but can also be seen in the thymus. Diagnosing MEC of the thymus is sometimes challenging due to its histological similarities with adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). This case report describes a 64-year-old female with a history of metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma who presented to an oncology clinic with a thymic mass as well as multiple mass lesions in the liver, bone, and abdominal wall.

Aims: Image-based, patient-specific rupture risk analysis of AAAs is promising but it is limited by invasive and costly imaging modalities. Ultrasound (US) offers a safe, more affordable alternative, allowing multiple assessments during follow-up and enabling longitudinal studies on AAA rupture risk.
Methods And Results: This study used time-resolved three-dimensional US to assess AAA rupture risk parameters over time, based on vessel and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) geometry.

Diverticular colon disease is the most common cause of colovesical fistulas, a rare and complex entity in their diagnosis and treatment. This report details the case of a 56-year-old patient who had presented with pneumaturia and gas in the vagina for six years and exudate in the abdominal wall in a midline wound. Given the suspicion, the diagnosis of the triple colonic fistula was confirmed by imaging studies: enteroatmospheric, colovesical, and colotubal, which were managed surgically.

Atherogenesis is prone in medium and large-sized vessels, such as the aorta and coronary arteries, where hemodynamic stress is critical. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress contributes significantly to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Murray's law minimizes energy expenditure in vascular networks and applies to small arteries.
