Lignocellulosic waste, like corn stover (CS), is widely produced and serves as a key feedstock for biofuels and biochemicals. Semi-continuous subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) is an eco-friendly method that breaks down cellulose and hemicellulose bonds. To boost fermentable sugar (FS) yields, steam explosion (SE) pretreatment was tested on CS, achieving a cellulose content of 74.

- Image-guided treatment adaptation using CycleGAN for synthetic CT generation is a significant advancement in particle therapy for young cancer patients.
- The study involved processing CBCT scans from 15 pelvic patients to create synthetic CT images, which were evaluated against verification CT scans for quality.
- Results showed that despite some limitations, the CycleGAN method produced satisfactory synthetic CT images that could improve treatment efficacy in pediatric oncology.
The ongoing demographic, epidemiological and social changes are dramatically raising the clinical and care complexity of patients admitted to internal medicine (IM) departments. Collecting evidence for a better characterization of patients is crucial to tailor future interventions based on patient's real needs. The aim of this prospective multicenter study was to describe the complexity of care of patients hospitalized in IM by calculating the complexity of care (ICC) score, through the combination of clinical instability (NEWS score) and care dependency scales (mICD).
