The aim of this study is to report the first case of biphasic solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the orbit with documented histological transformation and metastatic diffusion. We describe a case of a 23-year-old Caucasian man with recurrent SFT of the right orbit with intracranial invasion. The patient underwent surgical tumor removal via a right fronto-orbital approach. Histopathological examination showed a biphasic tumor pattern with both spindle cell and epithelioid components. The histopathological re-evaluation of previously removed lesions (1999 and 2004) confirmed the diagnosis of SFT, without any evidence of epithelioid component at that time. The patient developed local recurrence and systemic metastases (occipital foramen and clivus, paravertebral muscles and peritoneum) three years after surgery. We are unaware of previous reports of biphasic solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit with documented histological transformation and metastatic diffusion.

Unlabelled: Millions of Americans suffering from Opioid Use Disorders (OUD) face a high risk of fatal overdose due to opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD). Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, is a major contributor to the rising rates of overdose deaths. Reversing fentanyl-induced respiratory depression has proved to be challenging due to both its high potency and lipophilicity.

Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm, initially described in the pleura and infrequently found in the kidney. It is characterized by haphazardly arranged spindle cells, staghorn vasculature, coexpression of CD34 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), and a NAB2::STAT6 gene fusion. We report a 64-year-old woman who presented with a 2.

Article Synopsis
- Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare tumor made up of plasma cells, usually found in soft tissues outside the bone marrow, most commonly in the head and neck region.
- A 38-year-old female with Down's syndrome experienced symptoms like hoarseness and respiratory distress, leading to the discovery of a 1x1 cm lesion in her larynx during a laryngoscopy.
- The lesion was diagnosed as a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma, marking the first known case in a Down's syndrome patient, which highlights the need for specialized treatment and awareness of potential tumors in this demographic.

Objective: Pulmonary blastoma is a rare, biphasic, adult-onset lung tumor. In this study, we investigate whether DICER1 pathogenic variants are a feature of pulmonary blastomas through in-depth analysis of the molecular events defining them.
Methods: We performed exome-wide sequencing and DNA methylation profiling of 8 pulmonary blastomas from 6 affected persons.
Tandem "One-Shot" Measurement of Residual Chemical Shift Anisotropy and Residual Dipolar Coupling using Biphasic Supramolecular Peptide Liquid Crystals.

Both solitary and tandem applications of residual chemical shift anisotropy (RCSA) and residual dipolar coupling (RDC) show great potential for the structural and configurational determination of organic molecules. A critical component of both RDC and RCSA methodologies is the alignment medium, whose availability is limited, especially for RCSA measurement. Moreover, reported RDC and RCSA acquisitions mainly rely on two experiments conducted under two different conditions, which are relatively time-consuming and easily cause experimental errors.
