Article Abstract

Multifocal structured illumination microscopy (MSIM) provides a twofold resolution enhancement over the optical diffraction limit at depths of up to 50 μm in samples. This is achieved through sparse multifocal excitation patterns and digital image post-processing, making MSIM a highly advantageous technique for the three-dimensional super-resolution (SR) imaging of thick specimens. However, the spatial resolution of MSIM is inherently constrained by its underlying imaging principles. This paper presents what we believe to be a novel method that integrates SR optical fluctuation imaging based on Fourier ptychography and deconvolution (SFPD) with MSIM, termed SFPD-MSIM. Using photoblinking InP/ZnSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dot fluorescent probes for sample labeling, we demonstrate that, compared to wide-field imaging microscopy, SFPD-MSIM achieves fourfold resolution improvement. Additionally, it substantially reduces the image-acquisition time while preserving the structural integrity of the original samples. This advancement marks a major step forward in MSIM technology, providing a powerful tool for detailed structural analysis of complex and thick biological specimens.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by chronic progressive damage to the retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) and their axons, leading to gradual visual function loss. Currently, the gold standards for structural and functional assessment of the retina in glaucoma are static automated perimetry (SAP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, in clinical practice, data from SAP and OCT may be insufficient to reliably determine the stage of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, monitor its progression, or differentiate it from other causes of visual dysfunction.

Background: Umbilical cord hemorrhage (UCH) is a rare but catastrophic obstetric emergency associated with nearly 50% fetal mortality, and its precise pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive in clinical practice. The pathophysiological cascade involves hemorrhagic expansion from ruptured umbilical vessels predominantly the umbilical vein which generates compressive forces on adjacent umbilical arteries within the constrained Wharton's jelly. This acute vascular compromise precipitates the sudden cessation of fetoplacental circulation, culminating in irreversible hypoxic-ischemic injury.

Thyroid lesions associated with DICER1 syndrome include multifocal hyperplastic and benign neoplastic proliferations (follicular nodular disease) with characteristic macrofollicular and/or intrafollicular centripetal papillary growth patterns, frequently associated with atrophic and involutional changes. There are also well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas showing intermediate-type nuclei, sometimes combining high-grade areas (tumor-in-tumor pattern) and poorly differentiated carcinomas. Here, for the first time, we describe an encapsulated follicular cell thyroid tumor showing a mixed follicular and morular growth pattern, which presented in an 11-year-old girl with follicular nodular disease and a constitutional (germline) DICER1 p.

Introduction Nummular headache (NH) is a rare primary headache disorder which was first described in 2002. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence and relative frequencies of clinical features of NH. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Medline and ScienceDirect were thoroughly searched for observational studies reporting the relevant data regarding NH diagnosed in accordance with ICHD-2, ICHD-3β, ICHD-3 or Pareja's original study.

Usually, the human genome acquires one or fewer de novo genomic structural variants (SVs) per generation. However, in rare cases, multiple de novo SVs occur independently on different chromosomes. Typical examples are multiple de novo copy number variants (MdnCNVs) and multifocal genomic crises, collectively termed "multifocal genomic reconstruction.
