This report briefly describes several cases of diverticula simulating colonic mucosal lesions. We have found that the bowler hat configuration, in particular, frequently occurs in the presence of diverticular disease. In our series, no polyp was found to exhibit the bowler hat sign, while 12 cases of diverticular disease displayed 1 or more "bowler hats." Differentiation between polyps and diverticula displaying the bowler hat sign may be possible, but we conclude that the bowler hat sign per se is a nonspecific finding and that additional views may be necessary to confirm the presence of polyps.

Capturing planets in the act of losing their atmospheres provides rare opportunities to probe their evolution history. This analysis has been enabled by observations of the helium triplet at 10,833 angstrom, but past studies have focused on the narrow time window right around the planet's optical transit. We monitored the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32 b using high-resolution spectroscopy from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope covering the planet's full orbit.

- The study focuses on improving the visualization of neovascularization in injured finger tendons using a novel high-frequency micro-Doppler imaging (HFμDI) technique instead of traditional ultrasound, which lacks the necessary resolution.
- The HFμDI method was tested on both small animal models and human patients, showing superior imaging capabilities and enhanced visibility of microvasculature in injuries.
- Results indicated significant neovascularization early in the healing process, which reduced after rehabilitation, suggesting that physical therapy can positively affect tendon healing by lowering neovascular density.

Histone deacetylation contributes to low extracellular superoxide dismutase expression in human idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and histone acetylation, regulate gene expression in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). These mechanisms can modulate expression of extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3 or EC-SOD), a key vascular antioxidant enzyme, and loss of vascular SOD3 worsens outcomes in animal models of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We hypothesized that SOD3 gene expression is decreased in patients with IPAH due to aberrant DNA methylation and/or histone deacetylation.

Transposable elements (TEs) and their relics play major roles in genome evolution. However, mobilization of TEs is usually deleterious and strongly repressed. In plants and mammals, this repression is typically associated with DNA methylation, but the relationship between this epigenetic mark and TE sequences has not been investigated systematically.
