This study represents the first in situ investigation into the effects of magnetic fields (MFs) on soft-bottom macrofauna communities, laying the groundwork for further studies to better understand their potential consequences on marine ecosystems. Conducted in the Natural Park of the Strait (Southern Iberian Peninsula), the study measured MFs generated by HVAC cables and assessed their impact on soft-bottom macrofauna communities by comparing areas exposed to MFs with two control areas at different depths. Measured MF intensities were relatively low, with a maximum deviation from background levels of 34 nT near the cable, decreasing to 1 nT at 250 m distance.

Article Synopsis
  • The invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae has significantly harmed marine ecosystems and public health along the Iberian Peninsula by producing large amounts of biomass.
  • This study explores composting potential using various organisms (earthworms, cockroaches, mealworms, black soldier fly larvae) by comparing compost made from organic kitchen waste alone to compost made with a mix of algae and kitchen waste.
  • Results indicate that while some species (like earthworms and mealworms) manage to produce good-quality compost despite toxins, black soldier fly larvae and cockroaches yielded particularly high-quality compost, supporting their use in future circular economy initiatives.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare signifies a substantial shift, offering benefits to patients and healthcare systems while also introducing new risks. The emphasis on patient safety and performance standards is pivotal, especially with the European Union's strides towards regulating AI through the AI Act. This act focuses on classifying AI systems based on risk levels, mandating stringent requirements for high-risk AI, enhancing transparency, and ensuring ethics in AI applications.

Introduction: Inherent variations between inter-center data can undermine the robustness of segmentation models when applied at a specific center (dataset shift). We investigated whether specialized center-specific models are more effective compared to generalist models based on multi-center data, and how center-specific data could enhance the performance of generalist models within a particular center using a fine-tuning transfer learning approach. For this purpose, we studied the dataset shift at center level and conducted a comparative analysis to assess the impact of data source on glioblastoma segmentation models.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common tumor of the uterine cervix, usually related to human papillomavirus (HPV). While osteoclast-like giant cells (OGCs) have been reported to be associated with tumors at various locations, to the best of our knowledge, only six cases have been reported in the cervix to date. The present study describes the case of a 38-year-old woman with a medical history of ectopic pregnancy and vaginal childbirth, who presented with coitorrhagia.
