The Jordan Valley (JV) is a critical region where the interplay of water, energy, food, and ecosystem (WEFE) dynamics presents both challenges and opportunities for sustainable development and climate change mitigation and adaptation. In such a transboundary river basin with acute nexus problems and a long history of conflicts, it is essential that conscious efforts are made to pluralize the debate and actively encourage stakeholders' empowerment, participation and fair collaboration in strategic planning. An integrated framework for participatory strategic planning in the WEFE nexus is proposed, which has been developed in the context of the JV case study.

Organ-targeted PET technologies have emerged to address limitations of conventional whole-body PET/CT systems, such as restricted axial field-of-view (AFOV), limited spatial resolution, and high radiation exposure associated with PET procedures. The AFOV in organ-targeted PET can be adjusted to the organ of interest, minimizing unwanted signals from other parts of the body, thus improving signal collection efficiency and reducing the dose of administered radiotracer.

Article Synopsis
- - Contrast-enhanced breast MRI is recommended for high-risk women but has limitations, such as false positives and increased patient anxiety due to hormonal sensitivity and the potential for overdiagnosis.
- - Breast-targeted PET imaging offers higher specificity and can detect cancers regardless of breast density or hormonal fluctuations, although traditional PET involves high radiation levels, limiting its use in some cases.
- - A case study using the low-dose Radialis PET imager for a 33-year-old patient highlighted its ability to detect lesions with low metabolic activity; however, it did not reveal any malignant areas in this instance, resulting in surgical interventions for tumor removal.
