Summary: This study focused on the shrinkage of surgical skin specimens excised and processed. The results showed that most shrinkage occurs during excision (70%), with the remaining occurring during processing (30%). The shrinkage primarily affects the normal tissue component of the specimen and can impact the accuracy of pathological diagnosis.

Summary: Skin specimens shrink significantly both with excision and processing, with most shrinkage (70%) occurring during excision and the remaining 30% during processing. The shrinkage disproportionately affects the normal tissue component of the specimen, with age, anatomical location, and pathology playing a part in the degree of shrinkage.

Summary: Researchers have developed a label-free 3D histological imaging technique called MATE that allows rapid imaging of whole organs and simultaneous visualization of cell nuclei, fiber tracts, and blood vessels. The technique can also quantitatively extract diagnostic features such as nuclear size and packing density.

Summary: This paper proposes a method that uses a neural network to reconstruct the high-quality 3D structure of alveoli in intact mouse lungs using synchrotron X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) data. The method enhances the images of alveolar structure compared with previous techniques by reconstructing the spatial sequence of CT images using a deep-image prior with interpolated input latent variables. The approach successfully visualizes 3D alveolar units and enables the measurement of alveoli diameter. It can be applied to accurately visualize other living organs hampered by micro-motion.

Summary: This study presents a technique for prostate cancer margin assessment using dual probe difference specimen imaging. The method calculates the ratio of targeted and untargeted probe uptake to rapidly and accurately evaluate the margin status of prostate tumors. This technique has the potential to improve the outcomes of prostate cancer patients during surgery.

Summary: By using synchrotron x-ray microtomography, we directly observed high-resolution 3D alveoli in live mice lungs and showed that they have spherical morphologies. Our measurements indicated that the alveoli in live lungs are spherical in shape, with low packing density, large size, and low osmotic pressure. In contrast, alveoli in fixed lungs appear polyhedral due to the confinement of alveolar clusters. The observation of spherical alveolar shapes will contribute to the understanding and treatment of lung diseases and ventilation.

Summary: Chimeric transcripts are important for diagnosis and prognosis, but their identification from FFPE tissues is limited due to the reduced quality and quantity of RNA. Strategies need to be developed to overcome these limitations and maximize the potential of FFPE tissues as a source for fusion transcript identification.

Summary: The study found that FF and FFF beams significantly decreased hematological parameter levels in SD and FD plans for rat peripheral blood. There was less decrease in these parameters in the FD plans. FFF beams were more dominant in reducing the effects on peripheral blood cells compared to FF beams.

Summary: This study evaluated the dosimetric and radiobiological differences between flattening-filter-free (FFF) beams and flattening filter (FF) beams in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The results showed that FFF beams had better dose fall-off, better dose-sparing of organs at risk (OAR), lower normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of the lung, and shorter beam on-time compared to FF beams.

Summary: The study found that organosilicon compounds may interact with cell membranes passively and be adsorbed in or on the cell membrane; these compounds are commonly present in everyday items and widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals; with the increasing application of organosilicon compounds as replacements for other plastics, there is a need for a deeper understanding of these interactions.

Summary: The study investigated the radioprotective effect of melatonin on rat models exposed to FF and FFF beams, showing that melatonin administration improved histopathological and biochemical parameters in the radiotherapy plus melatonin groups. There was no statistically significant difference between FF and FFF beams in terms of their effects on rat larynx and serum samples.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of kV imaging for tumor tracking during lung SBRT treatment and found that 3D positional verification during single fraction lung SBRT is feasible but improvements are needed. The results showed that the treatment time with this method was fast, but there was a significant amount of time where the tumor position could not be determined.

Summary: Pathological fractures in children have various causes, with chronic osteomyelitis being common in developing countries and benign tumors more frequent in developed countries. Differential diagnosis between bone tumors and chronic infection can be challenging, often requiring surgical biopsy. This case report highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategies.
