Parathyroid carcinoma is extremely rare, affecting 1% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. For this reason, management is poorly codified and requires expertise in specialized center. PC is genetically determined in a quarter to a third of cases, notably involving the CDC73 gene coding for parafibromin.

Background: Microstate characterization of electroencephalogram (EEG) is a data-driven approach to explore the functional changes and interrelationships of multiple brain networks on a millisecond scale. This study aimed to explore the pathological changes of whole-brain functional networks in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) through microstate analysis and further to explore its potential value as an auxiliary diagnostic index.
Methods: Forty-eight OCD patients (33 with more than moderate anxiety symptoms, 15 with mild anxiety symptoms) and 52 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited.

The nonthermal destruction of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) stockpiles, one of the major culprits responsible for water and soil contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is extremely challenging because of the coexistence of mixed recalcitrant PFAS and complicated organic matrices at extremely high concentrations. To date, the complete defluorination of undiluted AFFF at ambient conditions has not been demonstrated. This study reports a novel piezoelectric ball milling approach for treating AFFF with a total organic fluorine concentration of 9080 mg/L and total organic carbon of 234 g/L.

This study proposes a hierarchical automated methodology for detecting brain tumors in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), focusing on preprocessing images to improve quality and eliminate artifacts or noise. A modified Extreme Learning Machine is then used to diagnose brain tumors that are integrated with the Modified Sailfish optimizer to enhance its performance. The Modified Sailfish optimizer is a metaheuristic algorithm known for efficiently navigating optimization landscapes and enhancing convergence speed.

Background: Bulbar function is frequently impaired in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Although extremely important for the patient's quality of life, it is difficult to address therapeutically. Due to bulbar dysfunction, maximum mouth opening (MMO) is suspected to be reduced in children with SMA.
