Fused right S-shaped kidney incidentally detected on multidetector CT during staging of periampullary adenocarcinoma: A case report

Supernumerary kidney is an uncommon congenital renal anomaly with complex vascular and collecting-system anatomy, making accurate preoperative imaging essential for diagnosis and surgical planning. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who underwent contrast-enhanced CT for sta...

Enhancing Piezoresistive Bending Strain-Sensing Performance of MoS2 Films through a Composite with Cobalt Phthalocyanine

Abstract The growing demand for flexible, wearable strain sensors for smart electronics, human physiological monitoring applications, etc. necessitates development of sensors with high sensitivity and with simple fabrication methods suitable for large-scale production. In this st...

Lower Bounds for Set-Multilinear Branching Programs

Abstract. In this paper, we prove super-polynomial lower bounds for the model of sum of ordered set-multilinear algebraic branching programs, each with a possibly different ordering ([Formula: see text]). Specifically, we give an explicit [Formula: see text]-variate polynomial of...

Tunable Morphologies of Dried Colloidal Deposits in Graphene Oxide-Laden Aqueous Sessile Droplets Mediated by Mesophase Characteristics

Abstract We experimentally report tunability in the colloidal deposit morphologies of Graphene Oxide (GO) from desiccating sessile droplets, governed by characteristic mesophases driven by spontaneous self-assembly in aqueous media. Observations revealed mesophase-directed regime...

Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Arising in the Metastatic Lesion of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Comparative 18 F FDG and 68 Ga Ga-FAPI-04 PET-CT Imaging for Disease Staging & Exploratory Theranostics

An 86-year-old gentleman, case of treated classical papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) developed scar site recurrence, which revealed focal anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) arising in the background of PTC. 18 F-FDG PET-CT done for staging revealed metastatic disease in the bila...

A robustness-first cross-disease framework supports a candidate shared microbial redox axis and disease-specific metabolic divergence in colorectal cancer, Crohn’s disease, and liver cirrhosis

ABSTRACT Gut microbiome dysbiosis is associated with colorectal cancer (CRC), Crohn’s disease (CD), and liver cirrhosis (LC), yet whether these diseases share conserved microbial vulnerabilities remains unresolved. Analytical pipeline choices alone can shift apparent performance...

Note on higher spins and holographic symmetry algebra

A bstract In this paper we discuss a higher-spin extension of the holographic symmetry algebra for graviton and gluon. Our primary observation is that in the presence of higher-spin particles the soft symmetry algebra has a subalgebra isomorphic to w ∞ which is generated by the c...

Probing of Strategic Disorder to Tune Thermoelectric Properties in Sb, Zn Co-doped Mg2Si0.3Sn0.7 through Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy

Abstract Defect engineering in thermoelectric materials is a key approach for controlling lattice vibrations. Introducing defects in the lattice brings disorder, which facilitates scattering of phonons and suppresses heat transport. Although this can be beneficial for enhancing t...

Finite-time orientational relaxation restructures collective motion in polar active matter

We introduce a Langevin formulation of Vicsek-like active particles, in which orientations evolve through finite-rate relaxation toward the local mean direction, with alignment strength J and rotational diffusivity Dr, thereby combining Vicsek-type local consensus with XY-like or...

One-loop HDL thermodynamics of a strongly magnetized isospin asymmetric cold quark matter

Abstract We have computed the longitudinal pressure and magnetization of strongly magnetized cold QCD matter in the presence of both quark and isospin chemical potentials using the hard-dense-loop perturbation theory (HDLpt). For that purpose, we have first obtained the resummed...

Concurrent ETV6::ABL1 and BCR::ABL1 in a rare case of chronic myeloid leukemia: a paradox of imatinib resistance and indolent clinical course

Abstract Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of BCR::ABL1 showing favorable response to imatinib therapy. Complex rearrangements in CML are indicative of clonal evolution and often associated with disease progression and poor response to therapy. Cyto...

Colored ΔT noise probes the topological character of edge-modes

We investigate colored ΔT noise, i.e., finite-frequency ΔT noise, as a probe of edge-mode (EM) transport in quantum Hall and quantum spin Hall systems. Colored ΔT noise probes finite-frequency nonequilibrium current fluctuations and dynamical transport properties that are often o...

Does low dose radiation induced adaptive response influence initial DNA-DSB formation? Evidence from γH2AX foci analysis in human lymphocytes

Abstract Purpose Low-dose radiation-induced adaptive response (LDRIAR) is well documented, but its role in early DNA damage signalling remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether adaptive response influences initial DNA double-strand break (DSB) recognition, as refle...

Cyclic behavior of clayey lumps intruded quaternary alluvial sand in the Indo-Gangetic Plain: an experimental assessment

The dynamic behaviour of soils under cyclic loading is a key concern in geotechnical engineering, particularly in seismic-prone regions. The Middle Ganga Plain is characterised by unique geomorphological features, containing collapsible cohesive alluvial lumps that naturally form...

Extraction of Hexavalent and Trivalent F-Block Elements Using Metal–Organic Framework-303: An Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

Abstract In this study, the adsorption behavior of uranium, U(VI), and neodymium, Nd(III), onto metal–organic framework (MOF)-303, exhibiting a high surface area and tunable functional groups, was systematically investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluat...

Phase II Non-Randomised Trial of Oral Chlorophyllin in Haemorrhagic Cystitis from Radiation Therapy (CLARITY Trial): clinical and quality-of-life outcomes with exploratory proteomics

Abstract Chronic Haemorrhagic Cystitis (cHC) affects 5–15% of patients after pelvic radiotherapy. Sodium-copper-chlorophyllin, a semi-synthetic chlorophyll derivative, has shown promise in preclinical models. The phase II CLARITY trial evaluated oral chlorophyllin for radiation-i...

Sustainable Iron Catalysis for Chemodivergent Oxidation of Lignin‐Based Vanillyl Alcohol: Selective Access to Vanillin and Vanillic Acid

Sustainable development has driven intensive research on the oxidation of lignin‐derived phenolics for fine‐chemical production. Selective catalysis, particularly chemodivergent catalysis, plays a crucial role in synthetic chemistry. In this context, chemoselective oxidation of l...

Tailoring Pluronic® F127-Gelucire® 48/16 mixed micellar nanostructures for efficient solubilization of petroleum-derived hydrocarbon contaminants

Benzene (a representative monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, MAH) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent hydrophobic pollutants frequently present in petroleum-related waste streams, produced waters, and contaminated aquatic environments. The low solubility of a...

Early Survivorship Outcomes in Childhood Cancer Survivors: School Reintegration, Nutritional Status, and Revaccination

BACKGROUND: With improving survival in childhood cancer, the focus is shifting toward early survivorship, a critical period for recovery and transition to long-term care. Data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) on outcomes during this phase remain limited. METHODS: We...
