Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the magnetic resonance (MR) features of alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS).
Methods: We studied 12 patients with ASPS confirmed by pathology in this retrospective study. MR features were analyzed, especially for the location, morphology, signals, and related enhanced features of the tumor vessels.
Results: Flow voids were shown in the central part of the tumor on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) in all patients; they were arrayed in a radiating mode gathered toward the center (8 cases), designated by us as vascular center-gathered syndrome (VCGS), or scattered like twigs (4 cases). The flow voids were accompanied by high signals in all patients, including tubular (6 cases) and platy (6 cases) signals. Slightly higher signals were shown in the peripheral part of the tumor in all patients. Flow voids in the peripheral part were shown in all patients, and the majority of the flow voids surrounded the tumor (8 cases). The vessels around the tumor in 9 patients showed high signals, and the majority of the vessels were located at the superior and inferior poles (8 cases). 6 patients underwent enhanced scanning, including moderate (5 cases) and significant enhancement (1 case).
Conclusion: Low signals of radiating flow voids accompanied by high signals of slow blood flow or blood sinuses in the center part have high significance for the diagnosis of ASPS.

Menkes disease is an X-linked recessive genetically inherited metabolic disease caused by an ATP7A gene abnormality that gives rise to impaired copper absorption. Copper deficiency causes symptoms such as characteristic abnormalities in the hair and vascular disorders. Brain MRI findings include a high-signal intensity in the temporal lobe white matter on T2-weighted images and delayed myelination.

Biofilms consisting of multiple species of bacteria compared to biofilms of single species are common in natural environments including food contact surfaces. The objective of this study was to understand the biofilm formation and the efficiency of sodium hypochlorite (50 ppm/5 mins) on the single and multiple species biofilm of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes formed on stainless steel surfaces in static and continuous systems. The cell concentration of Listeria in the dual and triple species biofilm in the continuous system (7.

Monitoring of real-time flow and defects in the vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI) process can provide important guidelines for full impregnation of dry reinforcement. A weak fiber Bragg grating array was employed to obtain quasi-distributed monitoring results in real-time. Sensitivity testing of different kinds of coated optical fiber sensors (OFs) was carried out first, and the polyacrylate-coated OF showed a greater wavelength-shift response than the polyimide-coated one.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are tackling the challenge of creating functional materials that direct heat flow in specific ways to improve thermal management.
- They used a technique called spatiotemporally resolved thermoreflectance to study how heat moves in supercrystals made from anisotropic gold (Au) nanocrystals, finding that heat flows more easily along the long axis of these nanocrystals.
- By adjusting the shape of the nanocrystals, they demonstrated increased control over heat directionality, and they used simulations to understand this behavior, offering insights for future applications in thermal management technologies.
