INTRODUCTION: Clinoidal meningiomas and paraclinoid aneurysms are individually uncommon, with the coexistence of mirror paraclinoid aneurysms and clinoidal meningiomas presenting an even rarer scenario. While the association between meningiomas and aneurysms is documented, the simultaneous presence of mirror lesions for both pathologies is not reported in the literature. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report a 62-year-old female with a three-month history of moderate bifrontal headaches...

In 2022, the 5th edition of the WHO classification of Head and Neck tumors was published online. In the salivary gland chapter, a new benign entity, the keratocystoma, was introduced. The sclerosing polycystic adenosis has been recognized as tumoral and is now termed sclerosing polycystic adenoma. The striated duct adenoma now has its own dedicated chapter. Additionally, a new variant of pleomorphic adenoma, termed "canalicular adenoma-like," has been incorporated. Regarding malignant tumors of the salivary glands, significant doubts now exist regarding the actual existence of oncocytic carcinoma, which has been reclassified among emerging entities...

In this paper, a liquid crystal (LC) tunable origami metastructure (OMS) designed for curvature sensing on cylindrical surfaces to measure their curvature is introduced. The LC employed is K15 (5CB) and the applicable band is 0.36∼23 GHz. When excited by electromagnetic waves (EMWs) within the 4∼16 GHz, the resonance frequency of the OMS shifts from 10.24 GHz to 10.144 GHz, corresponding to a change in absorption amplitude ranging from 0.773 to 0.920. In terms of curvature sensing, the detectable range of curvature spans from 0 to 0...

BACKGROUND: Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare neuroinflammatory disorder characterized by ataxia, opsoclonus, and myoclonus. Clinical diagnosis of OMS has been challenging; therefore, we sought to determine the clinical and treatment profiles of patients with OMS at the largest pediatric hospital in Latin America. METHODS: We analyzed the data of patients diagnosed with OMS between 2010 and 2020 at Pequeno Principe Hospital (Brazil) to determine the corresponding clinical profile more accurately...

The CO oxidation catalytic activity of catalysts is strongly influenced by the oxygen vacancy defects (OVDs) concentration and the valence state of active metal. Herein, a defect engineering approach was implemented to enhance the oxygen vacancy defects and to modify the valence of metal ions in manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) by the introduction of copper (Cu). The characterization and theoretical calculation results reveal that the incorporation of Cu2+ ion into the OMS-2 structure led to a rise in specific surface area and pore volume, weakening of Mn-O bonds, higher proportion of the low-coordinated oxygen species adsorbed in oxygen vacancies (Oads ) and an increase in the average oxidation state of manganese...

As a unique subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MOFs with open metal site (OMS) are demonstrated efficient gas separation performance through pi complexation with unsaturated hydrocarbons. However, their practical application faces the challenge of humidity that causes structure degradation and completive binding at the OMS. In this work, the effect of linker methylation of a copper MOF (BUT-155) on the C2 H2 /CO2 separation performance under humid condition is evaluated. The water adsorption isotherm, adsorption kinetics, and breakthrough under dry and humid conditions are performed...

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disease with various comorbidities. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) reflects visceral fat tissue distribution and function, assessing the risk of obesity-related conditions such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and stroke, which are strongly connected to OSA. The relationship between CMI with OSA and OSA combined with MetS (OMS) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the screening value of CMI for OSA and OMS, compared to the lipid accumulation product (LAP)...

Elective neck dissection (END) is recommended for the management of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) because of the risk of occult metastasis (OM). We hypothesized that some factors predict poor prognosis regardless of a cN0 END. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of OM and prognostic factors in patients with cN0 OSCC who underwent supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND). A retrospective cohort study design was created and implemented. The primary predictive variables in this study were OM and risk factors for poor prognosis after SOHND...

A detailed chemical understanding of H2 interactions with binding sites in the nanoporous crystalline structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can lay a sound basis for the design of new sorbent materials. Computational quantum chemical calculations can aid in this quest. To set the stage, we review general thermodynamic considerations that control the usable storage capacity of a sorbent. We then discuss cluster modeling of H2 ligation at MOF binding sites using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and how the binding can be understood using energy decomposition analysis (EDA)...

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a subtype of maxillary sinusitis (MS). It is actually inflammation of the maxillary sinus that secondary to adjacent infectious maxillary dental lesion. Due to the lack of unique clinical features, OMS is difficult to distinguish from other types of rhinosinusitis. Besides, the characteristic infectious pathogeny of OMS makes it is resistant to conventional therapies of rhinosinusitis. Its current diagnosis and treatment are thus facing great difficulties. The multi-disciplinary cooperation between otolaryngologists and dentists is absolutely urgent to settle these questions and to acquire standardized diagnostic and treatment regimen for OMS...

The pipeline included a deep neural network (DNN) and mathematical optimization algorithms with simultaneous optimization of 18 medium components. To evaluate the DNN data sampling method, two methods, orthogonal array (OA) and Latin hypercube sampling (LHS), were used to design 64 initial media for each sampling method. The OA- and LHS-based data sampling resulted in green fluorescent protein fluorescence intensities of 0...

Forensic case formulation (FCF) is a key activity within the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway (OPDP), performed by OPDP specialist offender managers (OMs) and psychologists. Although FCF training is provided to OMs, there are a number of questions about the adequacy and effectiveness of this training. Furthermore, it is unclear whether psychologists receive sufficient support to keep their FCF skills relevant and effective over time. This study aimed to investigate the FCF training experiences of OPDP staff, to assess staff satisfaction with this training, to identify ways of improving this training, and to explore the value of FCF from a staff perspective...

The cytosol-facing outer membrane (OM) of organelles communicates with other cellular compartments to exchange proteins, metabolites, and signaling molecules. Cellular surveillance systems also target OM-resident proteins to control organellar homeostasis and ensure cell survival under stress. However, the OM proximity proteomes have never been mapped in plant cells since using traditional approaches to discover OM proteins and identify their dynamically interacting partners remains challenging. In this study, we developed an OM proximity labeling (OMPL) system using biotin ligase-mediated proximity biotinylation to identify the proximity proteins of the OMs of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes in living Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cells...
