Patients with primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL), which is rare, require a different therapeutic approach and have a better prognosis than those with pancreatic cancer. However, conventional imaging modalities alone are not able to differentiate between pancreatic cancer and other rare tumors such as PPL, although the accurate diagnosis of PPL is crucial. The development of new modalities such as F-18 2'-deoxy-2fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) contributes to the evaluation of lymphoma staging. However, few reports are currently available regarding PET/CT findings in PPL. In this study, a 56-year old man with PPL was examined using FDG PET/CT imaging, which showed the unique intense uptake of FDG in the pancreas with atypical findings of malignancy in the CT scan and magnetic resonance images.

Hg is highly toxic and can cause serious harm to the environment and humans. Thus, it is vital to develop efficient Hg sensors. In this work, a LMOF-based (LMOF = luminescent metal-organic framework) "turn-on" Hg sensor () is first developed by an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) functional ligand.

Within the framework of surface-adsorbate interactions relevant to chemical reactions of spent nuclear fuel, the study of actinide oxide systems remains one of the most challenging tasks at both the experimental and computational levels. Consequently, our understanding of the effect of their unique electronic configurations on surface reactions lags behind that of d-block oxides. To investigate the surface properties of this system, we present the first infrared spectroscopy analysis of carbon monoxide (CO) interaction with a monocrystalline actinide oxide, UO(111).

Orofacial migraine (OFM) and neurovascular orofacial pain (NVOP) are both recognized as migraine-related entities affecting the facial and orofacial regions, according to the International Classification of Orofacial Pain (ICOP). However, the distinction between these two conditions and the question of whether NVOP should be considered a separate entity remain subjects of ongoing debate. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic characteristics of OFM and NVOP to reassess whether they should continue to be classified as two distinct diagnoses.

Background: Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a major honey bee pathogen that is actively transmitted by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and plays a primary role in Apis mellifera winter colony losses. Despite intense investigation on this pollinator, which has a unique environmental and economic importance, the mechanisms underlying the molecular interactions between DWV and honey bees are still poorly understood. Here, we report on a group of honey bee proteins, identified by mass spectrometry, that specifically co-immunoprecipitate with DWV virus particles.
