New York State Climate Impacts Assessment Chapter 03: Agriculture.

Agriculture is a vital industry in New York State, which ranks among the top-producing states for dairy, fruits, and several other commodities. As agriculture depends on the weather and specific climatic conditions, this sector faces extraordinary challenges as New York's climate changes. This chapter explores the many impacts of a changing climate on agriculture, the ways these impacts interact with other challenges that New York farmers and farmworkers face, and opportunities for the agriculture industry to adapt and build resilience.

Land-based foraging by polar bears reveals sexual conflict outside mating season.

According to sexual selection theory, the sexes are faced with opposing evolutionary goals. Male fitness benefits from access to females, whereas female fitness is constrained by food resources and safety for themselves and their offspring. Particularly in large solitary carnivores, such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus), these divergent goals can potentially lead to conflict between the sexes.

Targeted biopsy added to systematic biopsy improves cancer detection in prostate cancer screening.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasound targeted biopsy has frequently been used together with a 12-core systematic biopsy for prostate cancer screening in the past few years. However, the efficacy of targeted biopsy compared to systematic biopsy, as well as its clinical-histologic correlation, has been assessed by a limited number of studies and is further investigated in this study.

Design: We collected 960 cases with both targeted and systematic prostate biopsies from 04/2019 to 04/2022 (Table 1).

Head-to-head comparison of relative cerebral blood flow derived from dynamic [F]florbetapir and [F]flortaucipir PET in subjects with subjective cognitive decline.

Background: Dynamic PET imaging studies provide accurate estimates of specific binding, but also measure the relative tracer delivery (R), which is a proxy for relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Recently, studies suggested that R obtained from different tracers could be used interchangeably and is irrespective of target tissue. However, the similarities or differences of R obtained from different PET tracers still require validation.

Histopathologic Features of Breast Tissue From Transgender Men and Their Associations With Androgen Therapy.

Objectives: To assess the histopathologic features of breast tissue of transgender men (TM) undergoing gender-affirming bilateral mastectomies in relation to androgen therapy (AT).

Methods: We reviewed 374 transgender bilateral mastectomy cases from 2017 to 2020. Of these, 314 (84.
