Fetal type adenocarcinoma (FTA) is a rare malignant tumor of the lung that histologically resembles an embryonic lung. Due to its rarity, no studies had investigated the possible role of the F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([F]FDG PET/CT) in the initial assessment and/or in the restaging of the disease yet. We present a case of a male patient with tongue carcinoma and incidental findings of well-differentiated FTA at [F]FDG PET/CT.

Background: Shi Zheng (SZ, syndrome of dampness) is a major syndrome type in traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the ambiguity of its pathomechanism and the lack of blood diagnostic indicators have limited the understanding of the development of SZ.
Purpose: To explore the pathological mechanism of SZ and establish a symptom-centered diagnosis and treatment model.
Methods: We recruited 250 participants, including healthy individuals and patients diagnosed with SZ.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions are a basic component of TCM treatment, developed by assessing patient symptoms and prescribing a mix of herbs. Accurate prescription generation is critical for enhancing treatment outcomes and maintaining patient safety. However, conventional methods based on Large Language Models (LLMs) focus mainly on symptom information, neglecting other TCM diagnostic expertise, such as tongue and pulse diagnosis, and are prone to hallucination, which is unacceptable in medical applications.

Importance: Studies of brain imaging and movements during rapid eye movement sleep indicate basal ganglia involvement in pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS). Characterizing neurological findings that commonly present among patients with PANS could improve diagnostic accuracy.
Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of neurological soft signs (NSSs) that may be associated with basal ganglia dysfunction among youths presenting with PANS and assess whether clinical characteristics of PANS correlate with NSSs that may be associated with basal ganglia dysfunction.

We report the fabrication of a polarization-based photobiomodulation (PBM) system and its performance on wound healing effects. The light source for PBM was a 625 nm LED and two different linear polarizations (P-wave and S-wave) were generated using the wire grid linear polarizers. To confirm the effect of PBM on polarization, wounds were created on hairless mice, and the healing process was compared.

Choristomas are rare, benign embryonic tumors characterized by normal tissue appearing in abnormal sites. When lined with respiratory epithelium, they are classified as bronchogenic cysts. While these cysts most commonly occur in the mediastinum or other thoracic regions, their occurrence on the tongue is exceedingly rare.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is an acute febrile exanthematous illness primarily affecting children under 5 years of age. It is characterized by systemic vasculitis of medium and small arteries. KD can present with cervical lymphadenopathy and fever as initial symptoms, often making it difficult to distinguish from acute bacterial lymphadenitis, parapharyngeal abscess or other cervical cystic lesions.

The number of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation constantly increases. Therefore, there is an urgent need to carefully analyze the general and oral health state of people with acute myeloid leukemia who underwent this procedure. This study aimed to investigate the type and frequency of oral mucosal lesions in patients with acute myeloid leukemia after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, depending on the intensity of the conditioning regimen.

The relationship between perceived sweetness intensity and temperature of food is complex. Previous research on the effect of temperature on sweetness perception primarily focused on single solutions. This study aimed to address the gap by using an infrared camera to measure tongue surface temperature, explore tongue temperature ranges, the relationship between sweet/flavour and tongue temperature at different serving temperatures during real food consumption.

This study analyzed the composition of the microbial community in raw milk and its effects on flavor compounds by comparing samples from cows raised on pasture (PXN) and in housing (HXN). In August 2023, 9 raw milk samples from Holstein cows were collected from a pasture in the Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia, China, and labeled as the PXN group. Simultaneously, 9 raw milk samples were collected from Holstein cows raised by individual farmers in the region and labeled as the HXN group.

Ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue-tie, is a congenital condition characterized by a short, thick lingual frenum that restricts tongue mobility, leading to functional and developmental issues. Surgical intervention, such as a lingual frenectomy, is commonly used to restore tongue function. However, postoperative complications like hematomas can pose significant risks.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) of the anterior condylar confluence (ACC) are rare vascular lesions at the skull base, often characterized by complex venous anatomy and variable clinical presentations. Their symptoms may overlap with those of cavernous sinus (CS) DAVFs, leading to potential misdiagnosis. Advanced imaging techniques and individualized treatment approaches are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Background And Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of head and neck tissues has extensive clinical applications, but due to the complexity and variability of tissue structure, there is still a lack of a complete scheme to reconstruct the head and neck tissues. This study aims to establish a tissue-specified multi-directional cross-sectional image sequence construction method to capture diverse tissue contour information.
Methods: The image sequences that are most conducive to acquiring the boundary contours of the target tissue are constructed from 3D MRI images of the head and neck in a non-traditional way based on the characteristics of each target tissue, and an effective registration strategy is used to integrate the boundaries of the target tissue segmented from multiple image sequences.

In this paper, we demonstrate a novel pipeline for identifying and extracting patient subpopulations from unstructured physician's notes. We validate the method by extracting patients with psychiatric issues from a general patient population. This method first uses a clinical metathesaurus to select terms of interest from reports, then vectorizes the terms using a transformer model.

X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) enables 3D tracking of implanted radiopaque markers in animals to study biomechanics. In recent years, DeepLabCut (DLC) has emerged as an important tool for markerless pose estimation in areas of the biological sciences such as neuroscience or behavioral research. While the XROMM markers can be detected and tracked using traditional image processing, DLC has been proven to improve XMALab-based workflows.

Upon contact, the spike firing patterns of touch afferents encode object attributes such as force, vibration, and spatial geometry. Computational models in cutaneous skin have sought to emulate firing patterns of slowly and rapidly adapting afferents. Herein, for the tongue, we develop biophysical versions of such models, and which rely upon functions and parameters with physiological relevance, as opposed to stimulus features, and are extendable to a broad range of object interactions.
