We report here an extremely rare case of proliferative Brenner tumor with borderline mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary, metastasizing to the pleura in a 75-year-old woman. Massive pleural effusion were present due to metastasis and pseudo-Meigs’ syndrome. The cytological findings from pleural effusion, ascites and tumor imprint were similar, suggesting mucus-producing malignant tumors. A...

Several heat transfer problems related to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are considered using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The Brenner potential (Brenner, 1990) with the simplified form (Yamaguchi and Maruyama, 1998) is employed as the potential function between carbon and carbon within a nanotube. MD simulations of thermal conductivity along a nanotube, isotope effect in longit...

We present a case of 59-year-old woman with clinical symptoms of a pelvic mass. She underwent an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning which demonstrated adnexal mass with solid and cystic components. The biopsy confirmed a malignant Brenner tumor. Then, a 18F-FDG PET/CT study was performed for disease staging and showed a high FDG uptake with heterogeneous distribution in solid component...
