Remote cameras have become a mainstream tool for studying wildlife populations. For species whose developmental stages or states are identifiable in photographs, there are opportunities for tracking population changes and estimating demographic rates. Recent developments in hierarchical models allow for the estimation of ecological states and rates over time for unmarked animals whose states are known.

- Forests offer vital recreational opportunities, leading to efforts to create indicators for assessing their suitability for recreation, although previous attempts have faced challenges.
- This study proposes a new framework categorizing forest attributes into intrinsic (like tree size), extrinsic (such as proximity to water), and facilitation qualities (including recreational infrastructure) to evaluate forests' recreational values in Sweden and Fennoscandia.
- The research emphasizes the importance of systematic monitoring to determine actual recreational use and suggests that the framework could be adapted for assessing recreational values in other regions as well.
Background: Imaging has an essential role in the diagnostic workup of suspected pediatric spinal trauma. The most suitable imaging method is still being debated and needs to be considered regarding the patient, injury, and local resources. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often performed after computed tomography (CT) in case of neurological symptoms or suspected ligamentous disruption.

Even magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often performed outside office hours, sometimes revealing more uncommon entities like brain tumors. The scientific literature studying artificial intelligence (AI) methods for classifying brain tumors on imaging is growing, but knowledge about the radiologist's performance on this task is surprisingly scarce.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWhile short-read sequencing currently dominates genetic research and diagnostics, it frequently falls short of capturing certain structural variants (SVs), which are often implicated in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Optical genome mapping (OGM) is an innovative technique capable of capturing SVs that are undetectable or challenging-to-detect via short-read methods. This study aimed to investigate NDDs using OGM, specifically focusing on cases that remained unsolved after standard exome sequencing.
