Article Synopsis
  • Statistical physics and dynamical systems theory are essential for understanding high-impact geophysical events, like temperature extremes and cyclones, which arise from deviations in typical geophysical system behaviors.
  • Traditional statistical techniques can predict the likelihood of these events but struggle to connect them to the underlying physics of anomalous geophysical regimes.
  • The paper discusses this gap in knowledge, highlighting challenges and proposing new approaches, particularly stochastic methods, to improve our understanding of extreme geophysical phenomena.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how parental cognitive abilities (executive functioning) and emotional processing difficulties (alexithymic traits) affect the emotional quality of parent-child relationships (emotional availability).
  • Researchers measured these factors in 119 mothers with young children, finding that higher alexithymic traits were linked to poorer caregiving abilities.
  • The results suggest that parents with lower cognitive executive functioning may struggle more with emotional availability, indicating the need for further research into the interaction between these traits.

Background: There are currently no molecular tests to identify individual breast cancers where radiotherapy (RT) offers no benefit. Profile for the Omission of Local Adjuvant Radiotherapy (POLAR) is a 16-gene molecular signature developed to identify low risk cancers where RT will not further reduce recurrence rates.

Methods: An individual participant data meta-analysis was performed in 623 cases of node-negative ER+/HER2-negative early breast cancer enrolled in three RT randomized trials for whom primary tumor material was available for analysis.

Lung transplantation (LTx) is a well-known treatment for end-stage lung disease. This study aimed to report the incidence of cancer after LTx and long-term outcome among lung transplant recipients with a pretransplant diagnosis of cancer. Patients who underwent LTx between 1990-2016 were included in the study.
