Neutron autoradiography is an imaging methodology that enables analysis of the spatial distribution of heavy ion emitters in a given material. In particular, it allows localization of (10)B in a tissue section put in contact with a nuclear track detector. Boron imaging is essential when considering boron neutron capture therapy as an option for treating cancerous tumors. A description of the autoradiography method is presented together with specific characteristics and technical details developed in our laboratory. We propose a new mounting technique to compare autoradiography images with the same section that gave rise to the latent tracks. The solid state nuclear track detector is polycarbonate, because it can be processed rapidly to obtain the autoradiographic results. It is a transparent material, which allows visualization of the sections mounted on it. Tissue can be removed easily and background is minimal.

The Comparative Frequency of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Determined by Perometer and Circumferential Measurements: Relationship with Functional Status and Quality of Life.

The aim of this study was to comparatively determine the frequency of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) by using prospective monitoring with perometer and circumferential measurements in a group of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. We also aimed to evaluate the relationship between volume changes and functional status and quality of life (QoL) in patients with breast cancer-related subclinical lymphedema. Patients who had unilateral breast cancer surgery for breast were assessed with circumferential and perometer, respectively, for volumes at baseline, 3rd-month, 6th-month, 9th-month, and 12th-month by the same physiotherapist.

We report on the use of artificial intelligence, specifically computer vision and deep learning models (DLMs), in determining the accuracy of DLM-identified and surgeon identified (SI) landmarks before and after anatomic shoulder arthroplasty.
Materials & Methods: 240 true anteroposterior radiographs were annotated using 11 standard osseous landmarks to train a deep learning model.
Fluid-structure-growth modeling in ascending aortic aneurysm: capability to reproduce a patient case.

Predicting the evolution of ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA) growth is a challenge, complicated by the intricate interplay of aortic geometry, tissue behavior, and blood flow dynamics. We investigate a flow-structural growth and remodeling (FSG) model based on the homogenized constrained mixture theory to simulate realistic AscAA growth evolution. Our approach involves initiating a finite element model with an initial elastin insult, driven by the distribution of Time-Averaged Wall Shear Stress (TAWSS) derived from computational fluid dynamics simulations.

Two-dimensional molybdenum ditelluride (2D MoTe) is an interesting material for artificial synapses due to its unique electronic properties and phase tunability in different polymorphs 2H/1T'. However, the growth of stable and large-scale 2D MoTe on a CMOS-compatible Si/SiO substrate remains challenging because of the high growth temperature and impurity-involved transfer process. We developed a large-scale MoTe film on a Si/SiO wafer by simple sputtering followed by lithium-ion intercalation and applied it to artificial synaptic devices.

Mnong Râlâm is a South Bahnaric language (Austroasiatic) that is traditionally described as preserving a voicing contrast in onset obstruents, contrary to other languages of the Mnong/Phnong continuum. Acoustic results yield evidence that this voicing distinction is less robust than previously suggested and is redundant with a register contrast realized on following vowels through modulations of F1 at vowel onset (and more limited variations of F2 and voice quality). A perception experiment also shows that F1 weighs heavier than closure voicing in identification.
