Humans increasingly dominate Earth's natural freshwater ecosystems, but biomass production of modified ecosystems is rarely studied. We estimate potential fish total standing stock in USA reservoirs is 3.4 billion (B) kg, and approximate annual secondary production is 4.

Article Synopsis
  • Peninsular bighorn sheep are endangered due to threats like introduced diseases, primarily found in Southern California and Baja Mexico.
  • A study spanning from 1981 to 2017 examined 16 pathogens, revealing that disease prevalence varies by location and time, affecting lamb survival and overall population recovery.
  • Findings suggest that lambs' lower survival rates are linked to higher levels of disease exposure, while adult survival is influenced by population size and past infectious disease rates.

Neural networks were trained for segmentation and longitudinal assessment of posttreatment diffuse glioma. A retrospective cohort (from January 2018 to December 2019) of 298 patients with diffuse glioma (mean age, 52 years ± 14 [SD]; 177 men; 152 patients with glioblastoma, 72 patients with astrocytoma, and 74 patients with oligodendroglioma) who underwent two consecutive multimodal MRI examinations were randomly selected into training ( = 198) and testing ( = 100) samples. A posttreatment tumor segmentation three-dimensional nnU-Net convolutional neural network with multichannel inputs (T1, T2, and T1 postcontrast and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR]) was trained to segment three multiclass tissue types (peritumoral edematous, infiltrated, or treatment-changed tissue [ED]; active tumor or enhancing tissue [AT]; and necrotic core).
