Manganese-oxo species catalyze key reactions, including C-H bond activation or dioxygen formation in natural photosynthesis. To better understand relevant reaction intermediates, we characterize electronic states and geometric structures of [MnO] manganese-oxo complexes that represent a wide range of manganese oxidation states. To this end, we apply soft X-ray spectroscopy in a cryogenic ion trap, combined with multiconfigurational wavefunction calculations. We identify [MnO] as a rare high-spin manganese(V) oxo complex with key similarities to six-coordinated manganese(V) oxo systems that are proposed as reaction intermediates in catalytic dioxygen bond formation.

Vasculature of the small bowel mucosa, with a significant role in nutrient absorption and gut homeostasis, has been suggested to undergo remodeling in various gastrointestinal disorders, including celiac disease. However, due to its spatial organization within the mucosa, conventional 2D histological methods are of limited value in studying the intestinal vasculature reliably. X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) is a promising tool for soft tissue imaging, as it enables digital 3D reconstruction of various tissue samples, including endoscopically obtained small-bowel mucosal biopsies.

Aim: This study aimed to identify the imaging feature of perinephric myxoid pseudotumor of fat (PMPF) in a large cohort.
Materials And Methods: Institutional radiology and pathology databases were queried for PMPF for the period from January 2010 to December 2023. Of the 22 identified individuals, two were excluded due to nonavailability of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) images and five due to lack of pathological confirmation.

While the number of studies investigating Achilles tendon pathologies has grown exponentially, more research is needed to gain a better understanding of the complex relation between its hierarchical structure, mechanical response, and failure. At the microscale, collagen fibers are, with some degree of dispersion, primarily aligned along the principal loading direction. However, during tension, rearrangements and reorientations of these fibers are believed to occur.

Aim: Ultrasonography (US) has shown accuracy in imaging healthy periodontium. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of US for estimating dimensions of inflamed periodontium induced by ligature and bacteria.
Methods: Periodontal tissues of maxillary as well as mandibular premolars and molars in six female mini pigs were treated with ligature and three strains of bacteria for 4-10 weeks.
