Introduction: Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is an uncommon medical condition characterized by symmetric fat accumulation mainly in the neck and other upper body regions. The involvement of the larynx is rare according to the literature, and we present a case of MSL with larynx involvement treated with a surgical approach.
Patient Concerns: A 55-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to progressively aggravated breathing difficulty, and tracheotomy was performed before transfer. When he tried to block the cannula, the breathing difficulty returned. The patient's neck had been thickening for the past 2 years.
Diagnosis: Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MSL.
Interventions: The patient underwent lumpectomy and neck exploration.
Outcomes: The lipoma was removed, the patient was free of any dyspnea symptoms and recovered well, and the tracheal cannula was removed at a local hospital.
Conclusion: MSL can infiltrate the larynx and grow into the preepiglottic space and paraglottic spaces, resulting in breathing difficulties. Lipomas present in the spaces described above must be removed at the same time; otherwise, symptoms of dyspnea cannot be alleviated.

Loss of Mfn1 but not Mfn2 enhances adipogenesis.

Objective: A biallelic missense mutation in mitofusin 2 (MFN2) causes multiple symmetric lipomatosis and partial lipodystrophy, implicating disruption of mitochondrial fusion or interaction with other organelles in adipocyte differentiation, growth and/or survival. In this study, we aimed to document the impact of loss of mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) or 2 (Mfn2) on adipogenesis in cultured cells.
Methods: We characterised adipocyte differentiation of wildtype (WT), Mfn1-/- and Mfn2-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in which Mfn1 or 2 levels were reduced using siRNA.
Laser Upcycling of Hemoglobin Protein Biowaste into Engineered Graphene Aerogel Architectures for 3D Supercapacitors.

Graphene aerogels (GAs) with engineered architectures are a promising material for applications ranging from filtration to energy storage/conversion. However, current preparation approaches involve the combination of multiple intrinsically-different methodologies to achieve graphene-synthesis and architecture-engineering, complicating the entire procedure. Here, a novel approach to prepare GAs with engineered architectures based on the laser-upcycling of protein biowaste, hemoglobin, is introduced.

We present the case of a 42-year-old Indian male with prurigo nodularis, exhibiting multiple verrucous, brownish-black nodules on the left lower and right upper extremities, with milder involvement of the right lower extremity. The lesions were asymmetrically distributed in a near-linear pattern, with prominent white hyperkeratosis and associated moderate pruritus and paresthesia. Differential diagnoses included pemphigoid nodularis, verruca vulgaris, and hypertrophic lichen planus, with a biopsy confirming prurigo nodularis.

Rolling bearings of the vibration exciter are prone to failure due to long-term high amplitude alternating impact loads, causing economic losses and threatening production safety. The heavy environmental noise during the operation of the vibration exciter and the high vibration level generated by the eccentric block make the weak bearing fault features submerged and difficult to extract. Teager-Kaiser energy operator is a popular method for extracting bearing fault features.

In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the transmission of medical reports in the form of scan images for collaborative diagnosis is vital for any telemedicine network. In this context, ensuring secure transmission and communication is necessary to protect medical data to maintain privacy. To address such privacy concerns and secure medical images against cyberattacks, this research presents a robust hybrid encryption framework that integrates quantum, and classical cryptographic methods.
