This study was conducted to investigate the clinical application of three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) images in detecting and gaining information on esophageal foreign bodies (FBs). Two patients with esophageal FBs were enrolled for analysis. In both cases, 3D reconstructed images were compared with the FB that was removed according to the object shape, size, location, and orientation in the esophagus. The results indicate the usefulness of conversion of CT data to 3D images to help in diagnosis and treatment. Use of 3D images prior to treatment allows for rapid prototyping and surgery simulation.

Objectives: Combining Computed Tomography (CT) intuitive anatomical features with Three-Dimensional (3D) CT multimodal radiomic imaging features to construct a model for assessing the aggressiveness of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) prior to surgery.
Methods: This study involved 242 patients, randomly assigned to training (170) and validation (72) cohorts. Preoperative CT and 3D CT radiomic features were used to develop a model predicting pNETs aggressiveness.

Background: Pathology, traditionally focused on classification and diagnosis, is continuously evolving through new technologies. Advances in proteomics, epigenetics, tissue staining, and 3D imaging expand the possibilities of classical morphology.
Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study was to investigate how modern technologies can improve diagnostic accuracy and therapy selection and how they can be integrated into pathologic routine diagnostics.

The emerging new generation of small-scaled acoustic microrobots is poised to expedite the adoption of microrobotics in biomedical research. Recent designs of these microrobots have enabled intricate bioinspired motions, paving the way for their real-world applications. We present a multiorifice design of air-filled spherical microrobots that convert acoustic wave energy to efficient propulsion through a resonant encapsulated microbubble.

Pesticide dislodgeable foliar residues (DFR) and their dissipation half-time (DT) after application are important parameters for exposure and risk assessment from intended reentry activities or unintended dermal contact with treated crops. To understand the impact of agronomic factors on residue level a statistical based evaluation was conducted using ten DFR studies, with pyrimethanil applied in Scala to strawberries, raspberries, peppers, apples, and grapes, 30 trials in total. Influences on initial DFR (DFR0) and DT were investigated by multivariate linear regression analysis.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.
