Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the adherence of radiomics studies to the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS).
- A total of 130 systematic reviews were analyzed, revealing that while adherence to RQS has improved over time, many studies still struggle to provide high-quality evidence necessary for clinical application.
- Overall, only a small percentage of studies achieved a high RQS, indicating that the quality of radiomics research varies significantly between different imaging modalities.
Prostate cancer is a significant global health issue due to its high incidence and poor outcomes in metastatic disease. This study aims to develop models predicting overall survival for patients with metastatic biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, potentially helping to identify high-risk patients and enabling more tailored treatment options. A multi-centre cohort of 180 such patients underwent [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans, with lesions semi-automatically segmented and radiomic features extracted from lesions.

The generation and maintenance of CSCs are usually linked to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a dynamic process involved in reprogramming cancer cells towards a more aggressive and motile phenotype with increased stemness potential.

Our study identified key litter items and assessed pollution sources on urban, semi-urban, tourist, and semi-rural beaches. Macro-litter concentration averaged 5032 ± 4919 pieces per 100 m or 1.

- Various new technologies are being developed to enhance biogas production from anaerobic digestion (AD), focusing on improving stability and methane quality.
- The review highlights key factors that influence AD effectiveness, such as substrate type, temperature, pH, and loading rates, while also emphasizing the environmental benefits, like reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing renewable energy.
- Challenges like substrate availability and quality, as well as the need for process optimization, are identified, and the review calls for more research to improve AD performance for a sustainable, circular economy.
