Understanding the cost-effectiveness of different strategies for mitigating nutrient pollution is critical to making informed decisions and defining expectations that best utilize limited resources, which is a research priority for the US Environmental Protection Agency. To this end, we modeled nutrient management practices including residue management, cover crops, filter strips, grassed waterways, constructed wetlands, and reducing fertilizer in the upper East Fork of the Little Miami River, an 892 km watershed in southwestern Ohio, United States.

- Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are challenging bone tumors primarily affecting younger individuals, with low survival rates even after various treatment approaches.
- Current research on targeted therapies and immunotherapies has been ineffective, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the tumor biology and the immune microenvironment.
- A new Europe-wide framework for systematic sampling and analysis of patient samples has been proposed, supported by international consortia aiming to set guidelines that will enhance research collaboration and ultimately improve treatment outcomes.
Background And Purpose: Considering recent iodinated contrast shortages and a focus on reducing waste, developing protocols with lower contrast dosing while maintaining image quality through artificial intelligence is needed. This study compared reduced iodinated contrast media and standard dose CTP acquisitions, and the impact of deep learning denoising on CTP image quality in preclinical and clinical studies. The effect of reduced X-ray mAs dose was also investigated in preclinical studies.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, two groups of BD patients were examined: 33 with uveitis and 27 without uveitis. All patients were clinically evaluated, with disease activity measured by Behçet's Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF) score.
