Assessing the Rise in Papillary Thyroid Cancer Incidence: A 38-Year Australian Study Investigating WHO Classification Influence by Steven Weller, Cordia Chu, Alfred King-yin Lam

“…These findings underscore the shifts in classification driven by improving diagnostic clarity influencing thyroid carcinoma incidence patterns. However, thyroid carcinoma cases in Australia have dramatically increased over the last three decades independent of WHO classification changes, suggesting a genuine increase rather than simply being a direct consequence of improved reporting and diagnostics.…”

Corneal Epithelial Thickness Mapping: A Major Review by Mohammad-Ali Abtahi, Amir Hushang Beheshtnejad, Golshan Latifi, Marjan Akbari-Kamrani, Sadegh Ghafarian, Ahmad Masoomi, Seyed Ali Sonbolastan, Hamidreaza Jahanbani-Ardakani, Mehrnaz Atighechian, Laleh Banan, Hosein Nouri, Seyed-Hossein Abtahi

“…The advent of quantitative imaging modalities capable of producing epithelial thickness mapping (ETM) has made it possible to characterize better the different patterns of epithelial remodeling. In this comprehensive synthesis, we reviewed all available data on ETM with different methods, including very high-frequency ultrasound (VHF-US) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in normal individuals, corneal or systemic diseases, and corneal surgical scenarios. …”

Influence of the Main Border Faults on the 3D Hydraulic Field of the Central Upper Rhine Graben by Jessica Freymark, Judith Bott, Mauro Cacace, Moritz Ziegler, Magdalena Scheck-Wenderoth

“…Hence, the hydraulic characteristics of these major faults do not significantly influence the graben-wide groundwater flow patterns. Instead, the different scenarios tested provide a consistent image of the main characteristics of fluid and heat transport as they have in common: (1) a topography-driven basin-wide fluid flow perpendicular to the rift axis from the graben shoulders to the rift center, (2) a N/NE-directed flow parallel to the rift axis in the center of the rift and, (3) a pronounced upflow of hot fluids along the rift central axis, where the streams from both sides of the rift merge. …”
