A 47 year old patient with a G3, FIGO stage 1A endometrial cancer was treated by hysterectomy. Her two ovaries were conserved because of the pre-operative diagnosis of endocervical cancer. On follow up PET-CT follow up investigation, she had a benign ovarian corpus luteal cyst mistaken as a metastatic pelvic lymph node which was later removed and proven benign histologically. This paper is to raise the clinical awareness of possible false positive PET finding from a benign ovarian cyst, such that a misinterpretation of "recurrence" as in this case can be avoided.

Evaluation of Cannabis Per Se Laws: A Semi-Mechanistic Pharmacometrics Model for Quantitative Characterization of THC and Metabolites in Oral Users.

Recreational cannabis use has increased notably in the United States in the past decade, with a recent surge in oral consumption. This trend has raised concerns about driving under the influence. Current cannabis-impaired driving laws lack standardization, with some states implementing blood Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per se limits (1, 2, and 5 ng/mL).

Sensitivity of Functional Arterial Spin Labelling in Detecting Cerebral Blood Flow Changes.

Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

December 2024

Department of Neurology, Wuhan Brain Hospital, General Hospital of Yangtze River Shipping, Wuhan, Hubei, China.

Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method. ASL techniques can quantitatively measure cerebral perfusion by fitting a kinetic model to the difference between labelled images (tag images) and ones which are acquired without labelling (control images). ASL functional MRI (fMRI) provides quantitative perfusion maps by using arterial water as an endogenous tracer instead of depending on vascular blood oxygenation level.

Gene regulatory network inference based on modified adaptive lasso.

J Bioinform Comput Biol

School of Computer Science & Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, Liaoning Province, P. R. China.

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) reveal the regulatory interactions among genes and provide a visual tool to explain biological processes. However, how to identify direct relations among genes from gene expression data in the case of high-dimensional and small samples is a critical challenge. In this paper, we proposed a new GRN inference method based on a modified adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (MALasso).

Identification of crystal structures is a crucial stage in the exploration of novel functional materials. This procedure is usually time-consuming and can be false-positive or false-negative. This necessitates a significant level of expert proficiency in the field of crystallography and, especially, requires deep experience in perovskite-related structures of hybrid perovskites.

Decedent positive identification via visual comparisons of frontal sinus radiographs is commonly used in the medicolegal field; however, only a handful of studies have empirically tested this method. This study aimed to test the accuracy of visual assessment in frontal sinus identifications across a large and experientially diverse participant sample. A Qualtrics survey presented participants with 25 pairs of cropped frontal sinus radiographs, asking them to determine if they matched and their confidence level.
