Article Synopsis
- The study investigates multifocal renal capsular hemorrhage, also known as "weeping sponge kidney," focusing on its clinical features, imaging techniques, treatments, and outcomes while identifying risk factors and understanding the underlying mechanisms.
- The case series involved four patients, all treated successfully with embolization; three had chronic renal failure and atrophy, highlighting their association with this condition.
- The conclusion emphasizes that while small subcapsular hematomas typically resolve on their own, patients with renal failure face a higher risk of serious complications, necessitating different endovascular treatment strategies based on the number of bleeding points.
Nanosatellite Payload for Research on Seed Germination in a 3D Printed Micropot.
Sensors (Basel)
February 2023
In this paper, an autonomous payload proposal for a nanosatellite mission allowing for the cultivation of grains in space was presented. For the first time, a micropot made with 3D printing technology, enabling the parametric determination of plant growth, both on Earth and in the simulated microgravity condition, was presented. A completed system for dosing the nutrient solution and observing the growth of a single grain, where the whole size did not exceed 70 × 50 × 40 mm, was shown.

The purpose of our study was to compare the performance of random forest algorithms utilizing CT radiomics and/or semantic features in classifying NSCLC.
Methods: Two thoracic radiologists scored 11 semantic features on CT scans of 106 patients with NSCLC.
